Hey everyone! Dana here and right now I am in Hamburg.
When we arrived in Hamburg there was a huge celebration going on at the port.
It's the Hafengeburtstag, so the eight hundred and twenty seventh port anniversary in
Hamburg and so there were all kinds of ships there that normally weren't there
so you could check them out and there were also lots of little kiosks
selling things and also food and I quickly spotted one and was very excited
it sold soft-serve ice cream but first we decided to start with a more savory
meal and as tempting as that looked, we actually end up going with something
else: falafel Döner with super fresh falafel and vegetables. Really, really good.
You could actually go onto a bunch of the ships and kind of, just sort of poke around. See what was on there.
That was really cool.
But all that exploring made us hungry again, so we escaped the crowds and headed
toward the Hauptbahnhof for some, ugh, delicious
pulled pork and sweet potato fries at the Bear Claw. I'll put a link down in the description
box in case you're interested.
It was fresh and warm and just so good. They had homemade lemonade...it was just, yeah, I was a fan.
It was really tasty.
The Hafengeburtstag was really cool but it was super crowded down there and just, just really packed,
and so it was nice to get away. We headed over to the lake for a while, wandered around in the shade.
Thanks for all the tips! Thank you.
Then in the evening, back to the port.
Just the perfect, perfect way to end the day.
We started our next day of exploring Hamburg at the same place, at
the port when the Hafengeburtstag was not going on and it was so empty. What a difference!
The Speicherstadt is the warehouse district in Hamburg and I just could not get enough of those beautiful
burnt red brick buildings. This is so cool. I had no idea that the water kind of lapped up against the buildings
here in Hamburg. Kind of like in Venice! You know, there's a canal and the buildings are in the water.
I had no idea that it was like that here.
That was so cool. Thank you so much to everyone who suggested that I go to the Miniatur Wunderland.
That was awesome. Really, really cool.
In 1911 Hamburg opened a tunnel to connect the docks and shipyards on the
south side of the river with central Hamburg, and it's still in operation today.
You can still go down and cross under the river.
Is it cold? Yes! It's super cold. Brrrr.
But it was worth it for that great view of Hamburg from the other side.
Hamburg is also home to a Portuguese Quarter and we were told that while we were there, we definitely had to
try a few different things, including the Nata, which is what I'm eating now.
And oh! I can tell you. It was so good. This crispy pastry on the outside and
then some sort of vanilla custard on the inside. Yep, I went back for another one.
And of course, such a vicious circle, all that relaxing made us hungry again!
So time for some fish and chips.
That's tasty.
And then we'd made it to our final morning in Hamburg.
The last one in the lovely city.
And then...it was time to go! But hopefully we'll be back soon. Hopefully it won't be too long.
Really, really cool city.
So my question for you is: Where else do I need to visit?
Where else should I go? Where and why should I go there? Please let me know in the comments below.
Thanks so much for watching. And thank you all so much for all of the tips and suggestions
for what I need to see and do in Hamburg on Facebook and my Twitter. Thank you so much for all of that.
It was such a lovely trip. What an amazing city.

This is the perfect spot. Except for maybe over there, that might be more perfect.
Pan over there. That might be more perfect.
The grass is always greener on the other side. Or, you know, the bench is always browner.
Weeeeee!
Got you!
It's a video. Oh no, I wanted you to take a picture.
And I have no idea why Mr. German Man filmed me tying my shoe, but, there it is! Ready to go.
