This morning Mahmood drove us to a nearby lake that extends all the way into the city center. We enjoyed a leisurely walk where we found a beautiful swan swimming with a variety of large birds that we've not seen before.
This afternoon Aramak took me on a tour of downtown Hamburg. We started at the Reeperbahn which is the red light district near the harbor. Prostitution is legal here and the area of strip clubs and prostitution houses cover about four or five blocks in the district. Interestingly, on a nearby street there are a variety of churchs representing many different countries. This area was developed specifically for the numerous ship seamen who travel in and out of the port which is second in size only to Rotterdam.
The building is in the fresh fish market area where on weekends, fish vendors set up shop to sell fish that was fresh caught the night before.
The city is compact and clean with designer shops and beautiful residential areas.
