Nitoli and her mother in Hamburg
Nitoli’s mother and brother (as well as some extended family) decided to come for our wedding. Since it was their first time in Europe, we went down to Hamburg to welcome them and spend a few days there with them, untill it was time to go back up to Denmark.
Since everything was new to them (culture shocks work both ways, obviously) we kept a low pace with a lot of time for shopping. We also took a boat tour of Hamburg Harbour, which is the second biggest in Europe.
A few pictures from our days in Hamburg:

Houses in the now defunct old tax-free harbour Speicherstadt
The water of the new harbour city now being built beyond the Speicherstadt to house apartments and office rather than cranes and warehouses
