Hamburg- harbor city

Left by train around ten and things were very quiet. Then we reached the changing station for the northern part of Germany, and pow, not one seat to sit on. Problem is that we could only buy our ticket at a smaller station in Holland for a German line and they wouldn't let us reserve a seat so we sat on the floor of the train for 30 minutes until another transfer point. It's not the first time we had to do this. Have to be flexible :)
Our hotel was right across from the bahnhof so we landed early and were in our room ready to go for a walk in the city. Don't even ask me where we ended up although I'm starting to think that we need to buy shares in the sex shops and movies trade. We found a grocery store and stocked our fridge with 4 days of food.
As we walked around, again we were amazed how easy it was for the guys to use the watering hole. I ask - is it because women are strong or because they are not cared for? I was able to get a picture of someone just stepping into the metal 1/2 circle.
In the evening we headed to the spa area of our hotel and swam, went down the water slide, did the sauna, steam room and hot tub. By 8 we were ready for bed.
