We have another fun day ahead of us! After an amazing breakfast we are off to visit a town outside of Hamburg called Lübeck. Thankfully we had our tour guide Leonie in tow because there were many bus transfers to get there! Out of the train station we roamed the streets walking through the parliament building. The town reminds me of Bruges, historic, cobblestone streets, houses with brick and grand gates in the city. This is where you can find a ‘German house’ aka where the wooden framework is on the exterior.
We went up the church and were rewarded with a beautiful view! The tops of the terracotta roofs and the water were all that I could see! Absolutely stunning! We then walked along the riverside, believe it or not some people were swimming! I can only imagine that the water must have been like the Polar Bear swim. We they grabbed some ice cream and soaked in the town! It was delicious and I can’t wait for all the ice cream coming my way. Italy don’t let me down ;) Continuing our food adventure we went to a Marzipan shop. Lübeck is known for its marzipan! When I say there was everything, I honestly mean that there was everything you could want in marzipan form. Frogs, bread, potatoes, castles and so many flavour variations! I bought a little bit of everything and sampled it all on the way back to Hamburg. My favourite marzipan was the cheesecake flavoured one!
