We went to see the Queen Mary 2 leaving the harbor of Hamburg (Germany) at 8:30 p.m. (CEST) on August 15, 2009. Here are some impressions taken from one of the accompanying boats:
Moorfleet Bike Tour
We went for a short bike tour near Moorfleet (Hamburg). Here are some impressions:
Queen Mary 2
Below is a movie we took in Oevelgönne of the Queen Mary 2 arriving in the harbor of Hamburg (Germany) shortly after midnight on July 30, 2008 while some other, smaller ships are passing by and welcoming her with their horn. The Queen Mary 2 replies with the most impressive one though. Too bad it was so dark that we couldn’t take any good pictures.
During the Hamburg Cruise Days (from July 30 until August 3), there’s also some other great ships to see in the harbor aside from the Queen Mary 2. Check out the website for an impression.

Hamburg – The Elbe River
Last weekends fantastic weather was more than enough reason for us to spend a day at the Elbe River in Hamburg. We took the subway to ‘Landungsbrücken‘ and changed there into a ferry boat to get to our final destination. In Hamburg you just need to have a normal subway ticket to be able to use the ferry boats for free (not to be mixed up with harbor tour boats!).
Our original plan was to go for a walk at the Elbe beach, but as Tom hadn’t seen the famous Hamburg Beach Clubs before, we decided to check some of those out. Beach Clubs are something really popular in Hamburg, which explains why we have at least seven of them. We visited ‘Hamburg del mar‘, ‘Lago Bay‘ and 
‘Hamburg City Beach Club‘, but in other areas of Hamburg you can also find ‘Strand Pauli‘, ‘Central Park‘, ‘Strandkai‘ and ‘Veritas Beach‘. All of them have something special to offer, so everybody could find one he or she likes. To get a proper first impression Tom and me spent some time in the three neighboring Clubs and we can’t even say, which is the one to be recommended most.
