It rained about every day we were in Hamburg, but our final day was the soggiest by far. We had a bus tour of the city. It was a strain to look out the bus windows and see very far. We did stop at the city center square. They were just setting up the Christmas market there.
We had dinner in a quant little restaurant, the Kartoffel Keller or Potato Cellar. About this time we were wishing we had packed an umbrella.

Then it was a short walk to the harbor for a boat tour. Once again we stared out rainy windows. Hamburg is a large port and it was crazy to see the amount of good that are transported in large containers on ships.
Hamburg has a bid in on the 2024 Olympics.
There is a ton of development at the harbor, reclaiming areas and building impressive structures and apartments in areas that used to be considered industrial.
Brent and I took the chance to walk through the tunnel, under the harbor. It is the main way that people get out to work and access the harbor.
