Biking through HH
Exams over. I hope i will not have to say this many more times. The weather looks like she/it wants to let the people enjoy a nice Friday.
We decided for biking. When was the last time i did something like this? 10 years ago? 15? Pfff.
I always remember my 1st day of 'biking' ( cause it wasnt biking what i did :P ). When i went downstairs with my father. I had a red pegasus. Pretty excited. But with all this excitement after the 10 m i decided to turn. The bike didnt want to turn. Only the front of it turned. The handlebar. Directly in my stomach. Pfffff. That was the end of my 1st bike experience. :P When i continued?! I dont remember. 'Strange' that only this part remained in my mind.
So after so much time i decided to try to see if i remember. :)
The consequences?! Friday was enough. I cannot sit on a bike at least 1 week. :P
Here is a reconstitution of the trip.
Blankenese - A region which competes with the one next to Alster river ( in center of the city) for the place of the richest area in Hamburg. Beach. Houses on a hill. The 1st thing you see when u wake up is the water. Very quiet. Very rich. Hearing only the sound of the water. Ok and sometimes the sound of a ship passing by but still :P (More details here)---
Spring is definitively here.---
A dedication to Skandalouz .---
Der Findling Alter Schwede (217 t)l. It was found in 1999 on the bottom of the river. Is it possible that a huge ship 'found' it? :P---
The continuous life of the harbour. Day and night without sleep.---
A small garden in front of the house.---
In between a footpath prefered if one doesnt want to carry some sand in his/her shoes.---
Easter traditions in Germany. Eggs in the trees?! :|---
Eggs in the flower pots?!---
Too narrow? Damn.---
For the ones who dont look up or cannot read the signs, other hints are available.---
Övelgönne - a village until 1890, then a region in Altona ( since 1938 belonging to Hamburg). You can reach it either by SBahn, Bus , car or boat.
Doèś anyonè want śomè Ćŕepeś or Crèpès? :)))---
The next ship is almost ready to be launched. Crazy how anybody can 'take part' in the construction of the next generation of ships.---
Das Ende. Does it have 90° ?---
Pudel club. A place to be visited on a Sunday morning when the clubs on Reeperbahn are closing but it isnt yet time for Fischmarkt.---
The winning design project for the new region in Hamburg: The Hafencity. Amazing what it will be constructed here.
The Elbphilharmonie. The Hamburger Regierung was a little said because they didn't have a symbol to represent their city. Like Sydney or.. dunno what other city. So in 2010 this is how the new cultural symbol of Hamburg will look like. A big concert hall, residences, a small concert hall, hotel, plaza, parking places for 1/4 of the size of the concert hall etc.---
Somebody wants to live in one of these buildings? If so we need to wait a little. At most 2 years.---
Maybe one prefers this building? Chris told me it looks like the HQ of Toshiba?! Or was it IBM?! Neee. Damn. I cannot remember the name.---
Or maybe in this ones?---
