Luneburg

The last couple of days I have been spending a little south of Hamburg, in the cute medieval village of Luneburg where my cousins live. They are my cool cousins who are my age. Remember Jacob? And Maria? Thats who! I also finally got to meet my German Tanta Angelica and Theresa.

Basicaly it was just family chilling time. We went out to the lake and relaxed. German lakes are tiny. They look like ponds. haha

But the highlight of all this was when my uncle Gunther brought us to Hamburg. Hamburg is a very cool city. But my uncle is cooler. No kidding. He is very witty. So basicaly smart and funny. But the kinda funny that comes out of nowhere and takes you by surprise. Thus, ending up in. funny.

In Hamburg, Onkel Gunther became the perfect guide and showed us loads of sights and we toured around the city by walking and the river ferry.

But the part of Hamburg that struck me the most was Reeperbaum. Reeperbaum is the largest red light district in Europe. It was astonishing. Prostitutes out waiting in line on the sidewalks at 3pm. Streets of strip clubs and what not. The weirdest sex shops, not that I entered. But from the window I saw breast slippers. Which made me burst out laughing. So ridiculous.

We ate in a Greek restaurant and Maria and I couldnt stop keeping are eyes from being glued to the window as we watched lavished prostitutes trying to pick guys up. I do have to say that as pourly looked down upon a red light district is, Reeperbaum is still fascinating and I would go back again.

Towards the end of the trip we went to a fair. And this where I witnessed how hardcore my uncle really is when I watched him ride a rollercoaster on his own in the front row. I was v impressed.

I didnt actually ride a rollercoaster myself. I was petrified. You can all make fun of me when I get home, or not. haha
