Arrr and ahoy, everyone!
You won't believe it but I fulfilled one of my lifetime goals - I saw the Rickmer Rickmers!! 
It was so exciting I can barely contain myself! This weekend was definitely the best weekend EVER!
First things first, though - Perry and Chi took me to another protest before we could go to the harbour. We protested against ACTA again; I'm sure you know all about that by now so I'll spare you the details. But boy, does it feel good to do something for justice!
Then we went to the harbour! The weather could have been better but at least it wasn't raining cats and dogs anymore.
Aaah, that's the place to be for a sealover like me! 
And then I saw her - The Rickmer Rickmers!! 
Now I would post all the wonderful pictures we took, but ... well, there's a reason I'm posting this update this late: Perry had to discuss the rights to publish the photos with the people in charge of the Rickmer Rickmers. Sadly, as it turns out, Perry is not allowed to share the photos online! 
It's such a shame, I wanted to show the world what a wonderful time I had! At least I'm allowed to share the pictures in private, so you at home can look at them.
I'll sneak this one in, but pssst, don't tell the cops!
Later we took a trip with the ferry - Hamburg offers ferry trips as part of their normal public transportation system, isn't that amazing?
It was quite cozy inside the ferry, I must say.
I prefer to be outside in the wind, though! You know, I AM a pirate
Perry told me that this is the new opera house being built - She thinks it's quite ugly and I must say, I agree! It looks like a cheese grater ...
That was my trip to the harbour! I had a blast
Soon, Perry told me, I will have to venture on and leave her to stay with my next host. I'm curious what I will do next!
Best wishes to everyone at home!
Yours truly,
Erol
