After an excursion across several motorways (A3, A46, A43, A44, A45, A2, A1) to pick up more passengers to Oslo we had a breakfast break at Dammer Berge, a rest stop at a motorway. We carried the perfect breakfast with us: coffee, sparkling wine (?!), bread, pork sausage, cheese, rissoles, olives and tomatoes.
Our bus ...
I already told you that I am travelling with Elke and her skittles club, didn't I?
Our tour guide prepared some information about the following weekend for us. We will be in Hamburg around noon.
We reached Hamburg, here we are in the harbour area.
We took a short walk in the harbour area to strech our legs.
You can buy funny street signs as a souvenir here. Some of them are not exactly G-rated (but funny althoug )
In the background of the next photo you can maybe see the theater where famous musicals are performed, for example "Lion King" or "The Buddy Holly Story". It is the building with the yellow cupola.
Here you can see Rickmer Rickmers, a sailing ship (three masted bark) permanently moored as a museum ship in Hamburg. It is called "Green Lady", the "swimming landmark" of Hamburg. By the way, this ship is shown in the TV advertising spot for Beck's beer.
Skittling friends always seem to be hungy
We had "Pannfisch" for lunch, which means three sorts fillet of fish with fried potatoes, a mustard sauce and salad - a local delicay. Yummy!
Before we continued or jouney towards Kiel we went to St. Michaelis, called "Michel", is one of Hamburg's five main Protestant churches and the most famous church in the city. St. Michaelis is a landmark of the city.
Finally we reached Kiel in Northern Germany, situated at the Baltic sea, and went on board of the "Stena Line" with our bus. We went to our cabin and enjoyed the view out of the window.
