After we got off the plane and bus in Hamburg, one of the first things we saw was BATMAN RESTAURANT. We were tired and it was very funny.
We started wandering the city to kill time until we were allowed to check into our hotel and we found this sweet trident lady statue.
And then we saw the amazing sign about how you were not allowed to shoot, stab, mace, or bludgeon the trident lady. Speaking of macing someone, that idea will come back later on.
Eventually we gave up on walking around town to kill time because we were too deliriously tired and just sat outside an art museum for a while. This statue was there and the dude on the horse is totally nude.
... Fast forward through 3 hours of napping after hotel check in ...
Our walking tour of Hamburg was based on going towards tall, impressive structures that stood out over the other buildings. The first such place we visited was St. Nikolai's cathedralchurchthing.
Fat pigeon is fat.
Our wandering led us to the Reeperbahn - famous for smut!
Attention John Hutchinson! The Reeperbahn has a Beatles sculpture!
This was a massive statue of Otto von Bismarck.
On the back of the statue was a spraypainted swastika. Subsequent graffiti resulted in this dude peeing on it.

We walked along the harbor.
The other side of the harbour was saying thank you to the city for some reason.
This was the Rickmer Rickmers which is now a museum and restaurant.

On the way home we passed by St. Nikolai's again, which was now fabulously lit up.
This was Rathaus (town hall) and it's clearly on drugs.
There was a Chinese festival in front of the town hall.
