Quiz about Hamburg

-
So, I was going to skip this letter of the alphabet since my first option for the letter "q" was not inspiring me and I didn't want to bore you with another "meh" post. 

But then I saw this post on the A to Z Challenge blog and decided to do a quiz about Hamburg to test your knowledge of this city, and some fun facts at the end of the post.



Here are some fun facts about Hamburg:

  • Hamburg is Germany's second largest city and home to 1,8 million people.
  • It is located in the North of the country.
  • I don't know if it's true or not, but it is said that Hamburg has more bridges than Amsterdam and Venice combined, with more than 2300 bridges.
  • The Hamburg City Hall has six more rooms than Buckingham palace.
  • Hamburg has Germany's largest port and is named the country's "Gateway to the World".
  • Miniature Wonderland holds a world record with over 12.000 meters of model train tracks.


How'd you do on the quiz?

I read Rachel's post: liveblogging  a 12 hour flight to Bangkok and loved it.. granted not every flight is a good one but I figured I'd give this a go and try doing a similar post. I decided to record happenings on my most recent flight, even thought it was less than eight hours it seemed to go okayish and so i'm sharing it with you today. Here's how my flight went down: Before the flight, we were kind of worried about not having any in-flight entertainment since we booked our transatlantic flight with eurowings. 13:03 Board the plane. We get happy the plane does have in flight entertainment. We also noticed that every seat has a water bottle. Sadly only the ones with extra leg room get a blanket/pillow. 13:17  Find out the in flight entertainment requires a 9,99€ payment. 13:44  Time for the safety procedure demo. 13:53  Prepare for take off, then eventually take off. 13:56  Kid behind me says: "guck mal da unten die kleinen Autos." ...

Looking back at 2016

Happy New Year! 2016 was a year full of visitors and travels of all sorts for us. Last year’s Christmas was spent in Charlotte, with Pablo’s family (and my mom), we also welcomed 2016 there only to take a road trip to Orlando on January 1 st .  We visited WDW, Epcot, Universal Studios, and Island of Adventure. Once we got back to Germany we spent some time getting back to a routine. We took a mini trip over Valentine’s day weekend with our first visitor of the year. Pablo’s oldest brother came to Sweden for work and then took a couple of extra days to visit us. We took our second trip of the year and visited Berlin and Schwerin. March was spent in Hamburg, we spent Easter with other English-speaking moms at a park. We had a laid-back time here not worrying about waking up early to go to school. In April, we bought our first DSLR, it’s a canon 30d and I’m enjoying capturing moments with it. A friend of mine (and friends of his) celebrated their birthdays with ...
