Schon Germany
It was a beautiful, fun and an interesting trip
I haven't stepped in Europe for long time.
This spring I got a chance to visitIt was after 20 years since I left Switzerland
This trip was something unexpected
All this happened from something unexpected in my life
 |
| Head towards Heligoland I just wanted to put this picture in front because I like the German flag being waved by wind yes, I was in Germany |
Hamburg
I arrived at Hamburg first. Hamburg is one of the biggest harbor city in Europe
The air in Hamburg was frozen and everything was so transparent
It was interesting for me that I could see so many people from different background and mixture of culture.
Germany was a complicated country than I had imagined.
 |
| Town hall I wondered why Hamburg town hall has to be such a beautiful building It was a beautiful city |
 |
| Frozen water and almost full moon |
 |
| Evening walk |
 |
| It was too cold to drink beer outside but it must be awesome to hang out in the harbor during summer time |
 |
| Beautiful water, building and life |
 |
| I liked the display of vegetables in this shop It's interesting for me that there are so many summer vegetables in the shop Is it what we call EU power? |
Cuxhaven
Cuxhaven locates 2 hrs away from Hamburg
It faces to North sea and strong winds from North kept blowing to the city
 |
| The beach is famous for a busy summer holiday place. In winter, there were few people. Sand was frozen and wind made the beach a frozen desert |
 |
| I haven't seen the sea frozen like this It was breathtaking scenery I was really glad that I could see such an astonishing view with my eyes |
 |
| I felt the power of the nature the power to make a beautiful scenery and power to change the land |
 |
| Germany is a bakery country I really enjoyed going inside bakeries and see what kinds of breads are available Even it was a cold weather, hot coffee and tasty breads warmed me up |
Heligoland
Heligoland is a small island in the North sea, about 70 km away from Cuxhaven
The island was heavily bombed by British army in WW2 and we could see the deep scars of the war in the island
But the island was strong enough to endure the war and now it is a land for thousands of birds and
provide rare sea ecosystem
 |
| Morning walk The temperature was not so low but everything was frozen because of the north wind |
 |
| Lange anna and the remaining of the war |
Hundreds of seals take in the sun
 |
| Sunday market I didn't expect to meet two Japanese golden cats in such a far away place |
Verden
Verden is located in Lower Saxony which is in North part of Germany
It is famous for horse racing and there are so many horses on the outskirt of the town
I spent most of the time here and I really liked this place
 |
| Tuesday morning market We bought a smoked eel, horse sausages, some vegetables, and a waffle We had a great brunch!! |
 |
| Calm afternoon city road |
 |
| Bakery bakery bakery |
 |
| This is a village outskirt of Verden city There were many animals; cows, horses, sheep, goats and chickens It was a calm, good atmosphere village I want to go again in every season |
 |
| It's always good to walk empty railway |
 |
| Near forest If I were not sick, I would have walked every morning and every evening!! |
 |
| Germany was cold, but certainly there were signs of spring |
