August, 2005:

A few days in Hamburg…

Hamburg was an interesting contrast to Berlin. It’s a port town, and much rougher around the edges than Berlin. I had a great time with Maike and her friends, though I didn’t get to hang out with Maike too much due to the fact that she had to work alot during a major bike race that was going on at the time. But good times nonetheless.

The Rathaus
The 'Rickmer Rickmers', a 19th century freighter ship, that's now a nautical museum.
Statue of Otto Von Bismarck, and some guys jamming out on it.
A shot of the deck of the 'Rickmer Rickmers', this ship was beautifully restored after being mothballed by the Portuguese government for more than 50 years.

A shot of Hamburg's very busy commercial port. Well, it wasn't this busy at this particular time, ok...
It's my Hamburg friend, Maike, hard at work at the bicycle race.
A shot along the Aussenalster, pretty much a central lake, which is smack in the middle of the city.
