We had two full days in Hamburg, and spent most of the first day exploring the city Centre that was right outside of our hostel. There were so many cafes and shops down a two mile road. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, and the two of us had a blast wandering around the little side streets.
The second day, we decided it would be a good idea to see some of the highlights of Hamburg, so we walked down to the Harbor. It was a lovely half hour walk and we sat by the water for a while just soaking in the sun.
From the Harbor we spotted a bell tower and decided to go off the main path and find it! Turned out to be a beautiful church with tons of history. And below it was a krypt. Johann Sebastian Bach ' s son was actually buried there!
The inside of St. Michael's Church.
Down below in the krypts. Here we learned the history of this church. Quite fascinating, the church burnt down not once but twice and has continued to go through new renovations since the 1980's.
After walking down in the krypts, we decided to walk the 10 stories up to the bell tower. What a climb!
Clearly worth the climb!
Amanda insisted on taking the lift down. But you can see why!
Tomorrow we leave in the late afternoon for a train to Berlin. We will be there for five days! So excited!!
