"I might have been born in Liverpool – but I grew up in Hamburg"

Ok, so I'm standing by what I said before - Prague has definitely been my best trip so far. Absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back and visit again. But, that's the thing - just visit. I would never be able to stay. I left Prague excited to come back again. On the other hand, Hamburg is perfect and I just didn't want to leave. Pics.

Part of the reason I wanted to come to Germany is because I wanted to be somewhere I knew the language (though everyone here speaks English) and be more than a tourist. Hamburg has its tourists, but most things in Hamburg are just fun, great local things to do. The city has its own culture, is an amazing port, and is relatively international. Like, my favorite city in Germany was Köln, but Hamburg has definitely taken over. John Lennon couldn't be more right.
