German Boondoggle

What a delightful and unexpected surprise to meet my daughter in Hamburg for three days in October!  Trip Advisor ranked the Miniatur Wunderland the top attraction in the city — miniature scenes of Venice, Rome, Switzerland, the Arctic, Las Vegas, etc., each created in great detail with people, trains, swimming dolphins, and even a working airport.

The other attraction I wanted to see was the recently completed ultra modern concert hall on the river.  Coincidentally, that evening the hall was hosting a concert by a famous flamenco singer, Diego El Cigala.  It was quite a show in a beautiful setting!  Here’s a nice clip of him https://youtu.be/K8HGzhsUuiY.

Another must-do was an early morning visit to the fish market where vendors hawk their catch to the highest bidder while visitors drank beer, ate fish sandwiches, and danced to a classic rock band singing in English with a thick German accent.

Sausages, sauerkraut, and beer…what could be better?
