Hamburg can be best explored by bike or foot. Since it’s a fairly big town, we opted for bikes. Cheap and so much fun.
A wonderful fountain in Altona, a former Danish city that has been part of Hamburg for decades.
Astrid wasn’t sure if she liked it or should be concerned about all these statues shooting water out of their mouths.
It’s a sizeable spitting operation.
We checked out the old Elbtunnel, the only connection between main Hamburg and many harbor working places until the 50’s.
You take the elevator down and ride your bike to the other side of the river. So cool.
And then you have an ice cream on the other side of the tunnel and enjoy the view of beautiful Hamburg.
Back on the other side, we headed down to the ‘Speicherstadt’, the old warehouse district, now a popular place for new media companies and hip families.
You can still find carpet exporters but the majority of new business deal in bits and bytes.
Is there a better way to end the ride at another magic playground? The sandlots are so massive, I wish I was a kid again.
Time to get to work. We need wet sand.
