Turbulent Day

Today was a turbulent day. It started with me waking before everybody else. We (my mom, Brigitte and I) are staying at my uncle's in Hamburg for the weekend. I occupied myself with this lion jigsaw puzzle which was my calendar gift for today until my mom and uncle woke up.





We set the breakfast table







and just as we were done the birthday-lady woke up. :-)

Today is Brigittes birthday.





We spent the day mostly shopping (as I spend most of my weekends in Hamburg). The one shoe store we all wanted to shop at was unfortunately closed.





Brigitte invited us to dinner at an italian restaurant. Boring as we are, we all ordered the same thing: grilled gilthead.


We didn't let it scare us with its impressive teeth and finished every bit. It was delicious!




After dinner we went for a walk through Hamburg and saw (among other things) the Old Elbe Tunnel which is under recontruction at the moment and closed for cars. When open for cars they use these elevators. But since there were no cars, we could fool around in both tunnels, and were totally ignored by occasional pedestrians.










Outside of the Old Elbe Tunnel we met this young man (I think his name is Enrico) and his friends. They were having a stag night for Enrico.
One of the challenges for him was to sell (or give away) all the sweets and little bottles of alcohol he had in his trash can (oh yes, it is not a trash can but a cleaning bucket - I was corrected several times by Denny who also asked me to send him these pictures.) I don't think there was much left in the bucket when we finaly moved on... ;-)
