Thursday 2nd Sept.

Found another cheap café for brekky and headed into town on foot armed with our map. We ran into Australians from the bus tour who are also headed for the cruise. Their fast train had reached speeds of 240km/h! Not that it’s a competition! They, like us just want to be on the cruise.
Adrian and I spent about 4 hours wandering around Hamburg. We went down to the docks and kept walking over lots of bridges as there are little islands. Some of it had a bit of a look of Amsterdam about it.
We found The Rathaus [The Townhall ] in the middle of the square. Not as pretty as many we have seen but busy. We were near the water and there seemed to be setting up for a festival. Lots of food and drink stalls and stages for entertainment. We continued walking all around the water to make our way back to the hotel We passed some schools. The school day appears to finish at 2.00pm. Not sure what time they start.
