Round 2! We decided to go to the city centre once again. This time everything was open and there were people as well ;)
We went as saw (the 2014 photo exhibition). It was like looking at a year worth of global affairs within 140 captivating photographs. It is really true that a photo can depict more than words could ever say. We then went inside the St Micheals church, there was the option to walk up its 350 meters to the top, but we opted out! After having some yummy lunch: the best ceaser salad I have ever had, we continued our walk around the city. We ventured out the to St Pauli district. Now don’t be fooled by its name, this area was formally know as the red light district of Hamburg. The neighbourhood has been inhabited by a large majority of those in the arts. St Pauli has become a youthful and vibrant scene know for all of its clubs and pubs! Even though we saw it during the day, it sure does put Vancouver Granville strip to shame. We were told that it is the polar opposite of what we saw in the day, and I can only imagine! Also clubs here typically don’t open until 2am and the people party all night to then go to the harbour side market at 6 am! Then we walked to the went to the Schanze Area, it is where the football/ soccer arena is and also the restaurant district, where you can find any ethnic food you could desire! This area is also know for having lots of students since the university is nearby. We called it an early day since we both were feeling a little run down and wanted to rest up for our day trip to Berlin tomorrow!
