Hamburg: The journey

We spent part of the crazy carnival days away from the crazy going to Hamburg by train. Here is my account of the journey - in German.

( Cut for German: Die Fahrt )

English summary: The local train we should have taken to big city to take the fast train was delayed because people were walking near the tracks. We had to improvise and took another fast train an hour later. Then changing trains there were problems again: the train we caught with not much time to spare turned out to have a technical fault so we had to change again. Still, despite all this enjoyed the comfort of first class train travel.

Hamburg: Sunday. Part I

Sunday morning started with snow.

The Alster looks pretty on a snowy soggy day. The kid gets wet feet, so we return to the hotel by bus.
