Germany is where I grew up and spent most of my life. It also is the place where most my travel goes to (with my family and my husbands family both living there as well as a lot of my work travels heading that way). At the same time this seems to be the place I write about the least. But I promise to better myself. So keep an eye out for Germany travel guides in the nearer future.

The original plan was to walk along the harbour to the Elbphilharmonie, have a look around, see if we could get tickets for the viewing gallery and go for dinner afterwards. But what are plans, if not to change?
