2010/03/28 oevelgönne and other elb-ish stuff

on day no. 3 romy & sebi showed us the port of hamburg, which is the second largest in europe. we started at the speicherstadt, an old beautiful area..

..that had been pimped by some famous architects so that now it is an extremely trendy and expensive place to live in..

the condos look cool, but not only are they slightly overpriced, but also is the infrastructure really bad, wherefore living there is more a status than a practical thing.

the public transport along the elbe is.. a boat *well, duh*. so rather than buying expensive tickets for a tour, we just hopped on for free..


..saw the port as well..


..and exited at the elbstrand, a pretty beach, where they have a lot of parties in summer.

the area around the elbstrand is named oevelgönne and kinda reminded us of new orleans..

..except that it was a little hillier.

again, it started raining in the evening, wherefore we just quickly passed some church and the went back home again.
