wrapping up the past: hamburg
so, it has really been a very, very long time i had not been
doing a bLog-entry. so i thought, hey, it's sunday, let's put
some nice stuff on-line. ok, i already did this for the last few
months, but H-nes said he did not get all those cool things i put
on-line, because it's not in my bLog. oh nose!(!!) oh well, so
here it is, and you are to get it all in a nice summary, one per
day (hopefully).
ok, according to my bLog-entries, the last picture-bLog entry has
been made on the 27th of october, when zombiequeen and i had been
to the zoo in linz. really a long time ago. let's start the
time-machine...
yes, we've been to hamburg to celebrate new year's day and have a
nice time in this wonderful town. we stayed there from the 29th
of december 2006 to the 3rd of january 2007.
day one was driving around in hamburg from one end of the town to
the other end. it was absolutely lovely, and very interesting!
for the whole time we spent in hamburg, we had two very lovely
guides. two natives, friends of zombiequeen's father. they seemed
to enjoy the role of the tourist guide, and so did we enjoy the
guidance! i think they told us more stories and facts than any
other professional guide would have done. day two was walking
around in the center of hamburg, but this time by foot and metro.
in the evening we walked around in the "speicherstadt", a very
famous part of the town. get some sample pics here, and more on
the link to day two of our hamburg trip.
day 01 in hamburg, day 02 in hamburg
on day three we have been to the hamburger fish market. a very
fascinating place with funny market criers. furthermore we have
climbed the "michel", a church in the center of hamburg. on top
of it one has a very nice view over the town. afterwards we took
a walk through the biggest cemetery of europe. in the evening we
drove to the harbour again, to celebrate new year's eve there. we
have been in a bar with a very good view on the streets and the
river nearby. which is just where day four started, namely with
rockets and fireworks. then we took a walk to our hotel through
an absolutely crowded st.pauli/reeperbahn (yep, we had our hotel
just around the corner of reeperbahn). for the rest of the day we
slept and relaxed from the long exhausting night. in the evening
we went to "jungfernsteg" a noble shopping street with loads of
arcades. the funny thing was, there were no people at all. the
night before it was so crowded, now it seemed more like a
ghost town. i really enjoyed this.
day 03 in hamburg, day 04 in hamburg
day five we have been to the speicherstadt again, but this time
at daylight - still it's a very beautiful and fascinating place.
oh, and we have been to a small coffee-museum too. very cute and
the coffee there was really great! in the evening we went to
"schmidt"'s theater, located on the reeperbahn in st.pauli
district. very funny, and we both really liked it (though it was
a musical). the story was about a little hot dog stall on the
reeperbahn, with all kind of strange characters (from prostitutes
to tourists) coming by there. on day six we have been to some
museums (i actually don't remember which ones they were exactly).
museums are a perfect place to chill, and since we were both
quite exhausted from the days we already had spent in this town,
this was the perfect time to go to museums. in the evening we
flew back to linz again. wonderful trip, i love this town!
day 05 in hamburg, day 06 in hamburg
some extra shots from the really very, very big cemetery that is
more like a park with some (sometimes hidden) gravestones here
and there. not like graveyards i used to know.
both images are from the cemetery special in hamburg
thanks to zombiequeen for this very nice trip to hamburg - it was
really great, and fun!
coming up next in the "wrapping up the past:"-series: lilo,
chapter nine. a short story on how to take pictures of a lovely
little cute cat.
