Hamburg in a blink of an eye

The first day in hamburg was very short because it took so long to get there from the forest kindergarten. We really just had time to get there drop off our things and grab dinner. We found a nice Italian place across from the train station. We ate and watched a crazy football mob celebrate their teams game today.



Day 2 in hamburg was FULL! We started our day with a very fun walking tour of the city. Had a very nice Irish tour guide who was very entertaining.






After the tour we started talking to a group of people from the tour and we all decided to grab some food and go to the miniature museum. The group of people was made up of people from Canada, NYC, and Australia. They were a great group of people and we had a blast.






The miniature museum was AMAZING! It was full of small versions of different countries and had moving parts and trains and cars doing different things. It even transitioned from day to night and the city lit up at night. It even had a working Airport with plans that took off and landed.






After the museum we said goodbye to our friends and set off to see some playgrounds (we have to work some time). We found some amazing examples of german play areas! I wish America had this kind of play areas!









On our way from the last play area we heard the loud cheers and music of the football game. We followed the noise to another park that was showing the game. It was the Kia fan fest and it was crazy. There was a lot of energy in the air. We took pictures and then left because it was a little to crazy for our taste.






We took the train back to our stop and walked around a bit and found another public showing of the game but much smaller! So we stayed and had some beers and watched the game with a bunch of Germans. We ran into one of the people who worked at our hostel and her friends so we chated with them and watched Germany WIN!









We are now back on a train headed to Cologne. It has only been a week and I am very tired. We have fit a lot of stuff into a small amount of time! Celeste and I are getting along and every day has been full of good luck. I hope the rest of the trip goes this way!

Just got to our hostel and come to find out that we are staying in our own apartment! It is really nice and lots of space!



Tonight I think we are going to take it easy and prepaid for a full day of sight seeing and playground hunting tomorrow.
