Weekend in Hamburg- Part 1
I typed around 1200 characters/ words here and pressed some button on the notebook and lost everything. So I am beginning again. Maybe this time the story will be better.
This weekend was unusual. We were invited to join to my husband’s colleague’s family on a trip to Hamburg. The men prepared a lot things (accommodation, parking and activities to do) prior.
We all packed in the car and left on Saturday morning. The way trip took around 5 hours. I tried to learn English using cue cards/ flash cards. The youngest of us was very talkative and now, I know a lot more about cartoons. Cartoons didn’t really appeal to me before but I was intrigued by his enthusiasm about the subject.
In German villages we were met with neat yards and plenty of flowers. The house we were to stay at was old but cozy.There were a lot of interesting things inside (like a Chinese tea table with a pipe and draws (shelves?) inside, Chinese books, statues, and even design).We were met by the owner's daughter. She was very casual. She wared wore colorful clothing has persing. (What does persing mean?)
Her hair was spiky.She was really hospitable. Her English was perfect in comparison to some street sellers.
After checking in and leaving the trunk (stuff in the boot of the car where you can store your things and it can be removed from the roof) we went into the city. I’ve read that Hamburg is shopping Mekka. So we also went shopping.The variety of things to buy was impressive. The time speed also bewider. time flew. I brought home clothes, sneakers and a jacket.Then we went to the oldest city street and to the beer pub in the cellar. There was a crowd in the pub.Waiters were running with goblets jugs of beer, people were singing German songs and a musician was playing the accordion.You can eat well for cheap/ very little. I was surprised by the meat they cut off from a big hunk if you so ordered. I have never seen such serving of french fries. How did we come to choose this place? We just googled and went with the first option. While we were there, the rain started and then stopped, so we were lucky. Then we enjoyed our evening in the city and went back to the parking lot. We tried to park until 11 pm, because we saw the board where they had instructions in German. But when we returned, we saw the parking was closed. We were excited (nervous but also happy because of the adventure). We tried to find a solution. Then some of us went to look in the entry for new cars and not people. I was sitting on the stairs with two children. (Not sûre what you were going for)
