Well today was another day trip to another city! Though my hotel is still in Kiel for a couple more nights. I took the train to one of the northernmost cities in Germany, city of Flensburg, which sits right on the Danish/German border, known for having an old sugar and then rum trade route with … More Unglücklich At Glücksburg (Now With 100% More Map!)

Well it was another fairly successful day! It started with a casual continental hotel breakfast, then off to some of the major churches in Lübeck. First was the St. Petri Kirche, or “St. Peter’s Church” which has a very high observation platform at the top of the tower giving a great view all over the … More LübecKiel

Today was mostly a long and boring travel day, and one of my trains was delayed by a whopping whole 5 minutes! It was horrible! Anyways, I got off the island of Borkum, this time taking a Katamaran, which is about twice as fast as the huge ferry I took to get there. Should’ve taken … More The Hanseatic League

Well, it was an interesting day! Fun, though not quite a ton was done. It was certainly different. It started with a trip to the Nordsee (North Sea) Aquarium. A fairly small… a very, very small aquarium. Or at least it was going to start that way until I walked by the massive lighthouse again … More Beach Day!

This will be a very short post. I had to do two posts today. One for yesterday 7/31, and one for today 8/1 since I had lost internet last night before I could post it. Today I was up and off right away to my next city! Took the train a long ways off to … More An Island in the Sun

Another day with big plans, but once again not in Hamburg! I took the train to the semi distant city of Bremerhaven in the State of Bremen, a neat port town on The North Sea. It sits at the mouth of the Weser River which flows through to its matching city of Bremen. While Bremerhaven … More Which Haven? Bremerhaven!

After a much needed late sleep in, and due to incredibly sore feet yesterday, I made today a short one. I walked the short distance from my hotel to the “Hauptbahnhof” (Main Train station) and got on the local train to the town of Bergedorf. Then from there I took a bus through rural backroads, … More KZ Neuengamme

After the nice cruise I took a nice short flight back to one of my favorite cities, Hamburg! I quickly got back into the swing of things and headed right straight for the Hamburger Kunsthalle, or Hamburg Art Gallery, with paintings by many of the old Rennaissance masters. Ironically outside the museum was a closed … More I’m Back!
