Anna and I had one of our fantastic “let’s do a bunch of neat little activities around the city” days. I’ve been back in Hamburg for more than two years now, and I’ve only just gotten around to climbing up the bunker. When I first lived in Hamburg, the structure that now makes it the “Green Bunker” wasn’t there yet. There were always things to do inside the bunker, but the whole exoskeleton is new to me.
I loved it. What a view. This city. ❤️
In case you’re as clueless as we were when we suddenly found ourselves standing in front of this enormous thing, wondering what on earth it was: a graduation tower is basically a huge wooden structure filled with bundles of branches. Salt water trickles down through them, evaporating in the wind and making the air around it slightly salty, a bit like being by the sea.
I’d never heard of or seen anything like it before, and it really was a sight to behold. Definitely one of the highlights of our day trip to Lüneburg.
Visiting Tower Bridge while melting wasn’t exactly a highlight of this trip, but I’m glad I saw it.
London’s parks are on another level. Ted Lasso didn’t lie about Richmond’s beauty, and Anna surprised me with a Sofar Sounds concert in an old chapel.
Big Ben is far prettier than I expected. I thought it would be just a boring old tower, but it’s so detailed!
We didn’t have a single day with fewer than 20,000 steps, and after a while, it definitely started to show.
I expected to like Edinburgh more than I did. The people were great, but the city just didn’t have the right vibe for me.
