03/2006: Hamburg: 'I'm confused, is this the first sign of global freezing?'
Had a Gazetteer first today. Was flashed at by an old man wearing a raincoat in a seedy side street. Unfortunately, didn’t have my camera at the ready.
It’s bloody freezing and snows all day. Make another mental note to tell the Hamburg guide to delete the ‘mild winter’ bit.
The friendly manager at the Kempinski Atlantic tells me that the weather is unusually bad and he has never seen snow in March in the 10 years he’s been in Hamburg. The 'Bad Weather Fairy' strikes again. Make a mental note to delete the last mental note to the Hamburg guide.
The Germans are as inventive as the Swiss when it comes to sandwiches. You can have anything as long as it is cheese, ham or salami, or any combination of the above. Nice bread though. Brits are spoilt by the huge variety of fillings available in the UK – even if some of the combinations are, quite frankly, ludicrous. And did I mention what’s for breakfast? Various varieties of cheese, ham and bread…..
