heres a quick probably boring story:
i was thinking of heading to hamburg tomorrow but decided not to on the advice of an aussie girl who had just been there. she said its great if you like ships, but apart from that it loses its excitement after the first few hours. not liking boats all that much i had to decide where to go now. my answer was found in my humble (borrowed) lonely planet. After some quick reading i#m off to leipzig tomorrow which has been explained as paris but better, then im off to cologne ......its a good book.
