We drove to Hamburg today in the 1.7l Diesel Corsa on the Autobahn at times reaching 1
80kph! When we got their we had trouble getting around as their was a triathalon through all of the city – Mark who was driving said ‘Shiezer’ a lot – that and the autobahn made it a very German start to the day!We went on a harbour cruise and it was pretty long, but worthwhile – we saw a lot of big ships as Hamburg is the second biggest port in Europe and many bridges as it has over 2000, more than Amsterdam and Venice combined. Afterwards we walked through a street that has a very German name which I have forgotten. It is where the sailors used to (and still do) hang out – so it is really seedy, lots of sex shops, pubs and I saw a shop that had pistols in the window for a couple of hundred euros. Mark said that it is a lot dodgier at night when you are here and that you don’t want to walk in the side alleys at all. We walked past one street that was closed with a gate that said only men that are over 18 can pass – no women – the prostitute street. When we got back to Kiel, we did a spot of grocery shopping and I was stoked because I walked past a ver

However by the time we left the centre I had had about seven different samples from biccies to coke – at one point I had a nice small bowl of pasta in one had and a cup of premium ice-tea in the other – Good times! It must be a great part time job giving out samples – you get to make people feel so happy.
