Hamburgers in Hamburg

Arrived in Hamburg last night, checked into our hostel then went for a wander around Hamburg central. The city centre is still well lit up for the festive season and, despite the passing of Christmas, Christmas markets are still open (woooo!). Had hamburgers for dinner, how could we not?

Today is our only full day in Hamburg so we got up early(ish) and took a walking tour of the city in the freezing cold and fog. Highlights include St Nickoli, a church bombed during the second world war and left unrestored as a monument, cool buildings with some twisted history and Mel chopping off Brads head during a reenactment of the last moments of local pirate/folk hero, Klaus Störtebeker.

Budget tip of the day: Free walking tours are a good deal, even if not entirely free.
