I love Hamburg

St Chapelle
Must do's in Paris include the Fat Tire bike tour to Versailles - leisurely ride around the beautiful grounds, stop at the markets to pick up cheese, baguettes, dips and wine for a picnic lunch by the lake and a look inside to see where Marie Antoinette used to live - her room would definately do for me, I'll take it!

Monet's Waterlillies in L'Orangerie















A look inside the magnigicent Notre Dame cathedral, stand in the middle of a rainbow on a sunny day inside the stained glass wonderland of Saint Chapelle and take in Monet's stunning Waterlillies in L'Orangerie.


Cocktail hour at St Pauli beach club

Then NEVER take a Eurolines bus trip from Paris to Hamburg............16 hours of hell.............no paper or hand washing water in the on board toilet, no stops for toilets and only 2 stops for food.......7.45am to midnight......only redeeming feature was they started selling beer for €1,50 after the 9.30pm dinner stop.........random

Hamburg harbour





But definately visit Hamburg - it is so green and pretty - beach clubs on the harbour are a must on a beautiful sunny day, cocktails, sand, view of all the boats and deck chairs - perfect!!
