TRAIN JOURNEYS
Hamburg to Amsterdam
The fourth leg.
Why Hamburg? Miniatur Wunderland, that’s why.
It didn’t disappoint, but Hamburg had so much more to offer — paddle-boating on the lake with a storm brewing, a harbour cruise, (the second biggest container port in Europe), the Rathaus (City Hall), and dinner at the Gröninger Brauhaus, a small brewery/restaurant in a stone cellar recommended by Stacey’s friends, Missy and Martin.
Missy ordered a platter the length of the table filled with sliced roast pork, sausages, whole pork roasts with crackling, mashed potatoes and cabbage soaked in something delicious. Martin ordered a keg of beer!
How we caught the 9.46 am train to Amsterdam the next morning, I don’t know. First the ICE ( Inter City Express) to Osnabrück where we changed to the slower train to Amsterdam, city of canals and bicycles.
