From Berlin we actually went to Hamburg, a big port in the north of Germany. But we had "Schietwetter" (bad weather), except for some pockets of sun on the first afternoon and evening.
We visited the fish market on Sunday morning and got very wet but eventually were able to take out the camera and take some photos:
-The Rickmer Rickmers, now a museum ship about trade in the 16th/17th century.
- St. Michaelis church, or Michel for short, and the view down from the viewing platform are popular with tourists and photography schools.
- the green-roofed townhall
- The swans have to be caught and transported to winter quaters when it gets real cold.
- The Binnenalster (inland water part of one of the two big rivers alog which the city was built: Elbe and Alster)
