Jetlag? What jetlag? The day after I came back from the ridiculously delayed flight from Bangkok I flew a thousand miles again back to Hamburg. Amazingly, I slept all the way from Manila to Dubai, all 8 hours! Amazing not just because I am getting better with sleeping on planes, long flights or not, but I can also sleep despite some stinky feet from the person sitting beside me! For 8 hours!! My neck hurt though from having slept only on one side. Hey, I might sound like a bad person but I'm ...

We all tend to travel far in search for impressive monuments and beautyful landscapes. But what about the sights that are close by ? I already do see beautiful landscapes each day on my way to work and huge historic sites whenever going near the center of the city.So why head to a country like Italy to go seightseeing, whereas everything I´m seeking for is so near ? I guess i just started to take those things for granted cause i pass by those on a daily basis.I, for one have just been r...

The first time I ever went on a seightseeing tour was when a friend of mine from the usa came over and i wanted to show him the city and i actually saw a lot of sights i didn´t notice before ;)

After breakfast Thomas left for work and I started packing my stuff. My suitcase got fuller and fuller until I could finally close it and leave for the airport Fuhlsbüttel at noon. The buses were completely on time and I was at the airport 2 hours ahead of time. I checked in and got some chocolate at the duty free shop before I began waiting for my plane. Unfortunately it was delayed and so I waited longer and longer until one hour after our planned take off time we finally lef...

(april 19 2007 after arriving from Bremen) It was almost midnight when Phydie and I walked around the St. Pauli's district of Hamburg. That road is packed with clubs and is the center of the nightlife in the city but the other attractions that you can find there are the sex shops. It is actually also called in german 'die sündige Meile' (The Sinful Mile in english).. We walked until we reached the harbour, which was totally desserted (I guess everyone is at the clubs in St. Pauli), and staye...

Well here at last!!! Spent ages waiting at the airport for the flight which was delayed about 45 mins. It wasn´t a good start especially getting out of bed 3am to get to the airport. However I finally made it to Lubeck airport and thought oh well just to get to Hamburg city centre and get a train! Alas the bus took about 2 hours to get there too! Turns out Ryanair could be accused of false advertising as Hamburg Lubeck airport is not anywhere near Hamburg at all! What a hoot! Anyway upon ent...

My second day to enjoy Hamburg with friends!I woke up early and received a call from my friend, Hendrik, that he will pick me up at my friend's house in an hour. Cool~! I checked my email and relaxed while I waited. At half past 10, we walked to the area where Eva and I had lunch yesterday for some breakfast. Cheese, breads, cold cuts and fruits for breakfast. It was yummy and very healthy! Germans sure love their breads.We proceeded to go to the city center to get me a cellphone. Originally,...

After our lovely winter job sailing to the Carribbean we'll spend a few months visiting friends, having a beautiful ceremony and sharing our love with our friends, and then set off in the direction of Australia.

World cup 2006.... just a dream!! :D A set of photos I found in the web.

The first ride wasn't even the real metro but the S-Bahn - somekind of suburban or sometimes just urban rail ( but here in Germany it has to be concerned as a real subway within the city limits cuz it's runnig fast, serves the urban area, has high frequency and is independed from other traffic - this is the most common way to definite metro/subway:)The first ride wasn't even a long journey - only one stop, hahaha from Reeperbahn - to Landungsbrücken, but it counts as the first time in Hambur...

Weirdest thing happened in a train from Copenhagen to Hamburg. Me and AK where putting our backpacks to shelf we heard some finnish behind us. There were this to girls from Tampere who sit front of us!! We ended up talking them the whole trip and almost got off in a wrong station because we didn´t noticed what time was. But then these two nice german guys tell us that the train is almost an hour late. Then we become little worried because our train to Paris should be leaving half our after o...
