The adventure continues. Had a beautiful walk through the botanical gardens. Everything is in bloom. There was also a Japanese garden. I spent most of the day there. Posted pictures on Facebook.
Walked back through downtown Hamburg around Aster Lake and the what i call the Geneva Jet and found another free wifi, and bathroom. Otherwise known as Starbucks. I have not found any other place that has free wifi or bathrooms. Starbucks has a map of all the locations, very important when you need a bathroom. The cost of a bathroom and wifi is the same as the cost of a coffee. I find this very economical and tasty! Do I buy coffee, nope, strawberry and creme soy grande frappacino , um um good!
Came back on train to Altona and went shopping at the Mercado. Beautiful open atrium full of stores, flowers, vegetables, clothes, pets, food court all built around the three story atrium. Found a coffee cup that has all the nautical knots on it and says Ebbe on the inside bottom and Flut on the top. It also said Schietwetterpott. Did not know what that means but bought it anyway. Oops! Sorry Aamer, but it is pretty and German. Working on getting one that says Germany and Hamburg.
Had another first I forgot to tell you about. While at Enenstiens I ate a pizza with a fork, never thought I would see the day. When in Rome...... As they say.
Kirk got home and we went out to Altona to Scotty's for dinner, absolutely devine. I had shrimp and Kirk had seafood platter, shrimp, fish, salmon and mash potatoes and a pound of white asparagus. Can' t get away from the stuff. Seems that it is the side dish of choice. Topped it off with chocolate muosse.
You would think since we are not driving the discussions on which direction to go would be a non issue. Now we just discuss....it at a slower pace, yes we did circles on our way back to the train, but very picturesque circles.
Had a night cap at the bar by hotel, they supply blankets for the guests. I loved it. A few of the people from the conference were there and we stayed for a while, I must of looked cold and the waitress offered me a blanket, toasty warm, could stay for a bit longer. I have noticed blankets sitting around at the outside cafes, now I know why.

Looks like another beautiful day so I am off to the art museum.
TTFN!
