Germany Continued...2

The following day continued with another ride into downtown Hamburg where we meet up with Sarah’s friend Sabrina for a boat tour of the port. My God, this port is amazing! The city of Hamburg is trying to keep its title of largest port in all of Europe so it is actually begun construction on a island in the port where there will be offices for the companies that trade items in the port without ever stepping foot into the city o Hamburg. The project is expected to be completed in 2020 and it is costing 30 billion Euros! The port is quite a touristy area so Sarah wanted to show me the new “it” spot of the city.


The new “it” spot is actually a mile long street called “Reeperbahn” which is actually a synonym for “sinful mile” which I understood right away as we turned the corner and saw the numerous go go bars, etc. It was Vegas meets very horny German people. And the funny thing is that all the really nice posh restaurants and bars and clubs are all along this street. I chose to not take a picture of the actual strip (no pun intended) but I took a picture of the beautiful buildings across the street.
