Hamburg

Hamburg Rathaus - city hall

We ate a good breakfast in Berlin and headed out in the sunshine to Hamburg with still many delays due to autobahn construction delays! We found our way to the east side where our friend Uta lives and checked in to our hotel. We 3 took the U-Bahn to central Hamburg to see the Rathaus (city hall), a new opera house and enjoyed some good coffee on such a cold, windy afternoon.

Then out for dinner at a local pub - a delicious goulash stew with mashed potatoes and beer. Off to bed fairly late!

Ribe, Denmark We headed out on a nice sunny morning from Hamburg to Denmark. We wanted to stop in Ribe which is the oldest town in Denmark dating back to the 8th Century. It has a nice cathedral, old 16th century buildings and great pølser hot dogs! After a stop in Ribe, we headed out to Tarm, also on Jutland to visit friends and overnight there. We had lots of cold wind and rain on our next day in Tarm, but enjoyed some good meals and wine.
