We got into Hamburg late in the afternoon September 8. We went walking by the canals downtown and saw city hall.
As we walked pass a Puma store I realized that I look like the mannequins... always wearing workout gear. That's alright, they look great, especially the one wearing runners and carrying an extra pair just in case.
Andrew and I. We love being able to wear jackets and hoodies again.
This is the old warehouse district, the city renovated all of the old warehouses into office buildings, museums, etc.
The buildings in Hamburg were amazing. Every building was different and unique. The city is very different than most we have seen in Europe because the architecture is so modern.
The famous fish market... it's empty, but what do we expect at 10pm?
We ended up in a seedy neighbourhood on our way back but that area even had crazy buildings like this one.
We were catching the S-bahn and we ended up going up 'Reeperbahn', a street in a district that is known for being Europe's largest red light district. It is much different than Amsterdam because the girls aren't behind glass doors but rather leaning on buildings. Also, the girls are modestly dressed. Because it was cool out they were all wearing pants and a jacket, so if it weren't for the plastic thigh high heels I wouldn't have been able to tell who was a prostitute and who wasn't. This area is well-known for its police presence. In this picture is a police station and then right across the street are hundreds of prostitutes.
We loved Hamburg and wished we had more time but now it is on to Arhus, Denmark.
