Next stop brought me to Germany's largest port city, Hamburg. My host Sina lives here with her boyfriend, Maltè. It's a city with pockets of extreme left political activists which holds protests often and is known for an annual riot each May. That night we headed to the nerve centre of this sub-culture to check it out. We found a massive historic building that has been proclaimed as their base. We had drinks in a snazzy bar nearby and just generally enjoyed the atmosphere.
The next day Sina and I explored the city, the markets, the warehouse area, the churches. I lit a candle and said a prayer for my granny.
Town Hall.
Christmas markets.
Traditional Germany grub.
Above and below are piccys of the place Sina works-so grandiose.

The Elbephilharmica, the Hamburg big fancy new opera house, which took 5 years longer than planned to build, and way over budget.
