Hamburg

What a lovely city.  I really enjoyed our 2 nights there.  Fantastic port and so many canals! 

The Old Elbe Tunnel (actually 2 tunnels) built under the Elbe river (Port) in 2011 to allow workers to get to the port easily.  It has 4 car lifts at each end and 1 person/baggage lift to allow 2 way traffic.  As you can see from the photo the car tracks are only just inside the concrete edging.

Our boat tour of the port was also fascinating with such huge container boats and cranes and the fabulous new area of the city.
