Our next stop on our journey north was in Hamburg. Hamburg is a port city so its very industrial and not necessarilly a good looking city. There are a lot of cathedrals to visit so we did the whole sight seeing thing in the morning. Hamburg was one of the cities that was absolutely leveled during World War II so we went to a memorial for the war and saw pictures of the city in ruins after the bombings. The memorial museum was actually underneath a destroyed cathedral, of which all that remains is the main spire, and was kept as it laid for the purpose of an anti war rememberance. We went to the "largest Japanese garden in Europe" but it was only about one pond and one building, very small. If you find the picture for it in the Hamburg folder, one picture pretty much sums it up. We also were able to climb to the top of one of the highest cathedrals and get a good overview of the city, it looks alot like a picture of London from the 19th century, lots of smoke stacks spitting smoke into a low layer of pollution, but its not quite as bad as I make it sound. So like Frankfurt, it was just another "normal big city" and not one of the better choices for tourist sight seeing.
