<p>Good Morning!</p> <p>You people are bad people [;)] You have tricked me into opening this month´s Diner again!</p> <p>Well, Hamburg is not a bad choice for a stay! The city is so much different from what most people think Germany is like. First of all, you won´t see anyone wearing <em>Lederhosen</em> or wearing funny hats, like they do in Bavaria. Second, the highest "mountain" rises only a mere 200ft. above sea level and third, the ships you see are large and when I say large, I mean laaarge! Just for the record, Hamburg has more bridges than Venice!</p> <p>[quote user="hon30critter"]I trust that the beer and schnitzel will be in ample supply.[/quote]</p> <p>Dave, that shouldn´t be an issue, although <em>Schnitzel</em> is not the kind of food typical to Hamburg. That´s also a kind of southern German thing! Hamburg has a selection of the finest fish restaurants of Germany, really posh places. If you don´t like that, how about some <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labskaus" target="_blank"><em>Labskaus</em> </a>or the grandfather of all hamburgers, a <em>Rundstück Warm</em>?</p> <p>You all will be arriving by plane in Hamburg. Take a look outside, shortly before the plane is landing! All you will see is trees and a huge lake! Hamburg is hardly visible from above, as it is really a "green" city. Unlike Frankfort, Hamburg has not many high rise buildings, in fact, only one, and it´s been a proper eyesore since it was erected in the 1960´s.</p> <p>The best way to get introduced to the city of Hamburg is to take a ride with the subway ring line, which circles Hamburg´s downtown district!</p> <p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tbEz2XtSwDM" width="425" height="350"></iframe></p> <p>Enjoy!</p>
