20 June
Extended our stay by a day. Chores, relax a bit, final site seeing. Watched the German portugese quarterfinal. Germany got quite lucky.
Many potatoes at the market.
Herring heaven. The first place, and everyplace, we visited had about 10 types with several presentations of each. blackbread , sandwiches with onion and tomatoes. Smoked fish and eel. Fish smoke houses. Fast food and restaurants. Dock food. Shelves of salad concoctions with sauces , including curries.
Real north sea food. Yeah! Had the start of the season matjas from the North Sea.
If you go to the flickr pages you will see, just after this upload, some Hamburg photos by QB. Includes a pic of hail when we got on a tourist boat.
Dinner conversation with the person next to us. The other night it was a very interesting and talkative Bolivian woman who described her travels both through life and as a tourist. Tonight it was a metorologist who studies climate change in Antartica and elsewhere. Excellent English so we could have a technical discussion.
Asked him what is hardest to predict. Fog. Even the big supercomputers get hung on fog models.
