Emergency!

So what German word sounds like "coats?" And would cause the waitress to shake her head and say no in a solemn voice?

kotze - puke

Excellent. No wonder she looked alarmed.

Anyone know where you can procure a decent cup of tea in Hamburg? With proper milk? Even the hotel supplies are Rooibos which I don't like. I may have to bring forward my flight home if this situation can't be resolved.

Bring yer own bleedin' tea bags or stick to coffee which is often better for the short period that you are away.

Dont do what I did - remarked about so many S-Bahn or U-Bahn trains going to this place called 'Kurzzug' - a lot of trains go there....

Or tell a taxi your hotel is in Einbahnstrasse...

Cheers to all who offered advice on stuff to do and see.

Had a really good weekend - made it to the Fishmarket on Sunday morning, although as daughter had a face on (probably due to being parted with her duvet at such an ungodly hour), we didn't stay too long.

Best purchase was the chocolate tools - very convincing and a good stocking filler, although bought plenty of other tat too, and quaffed a fair few mugs of gluhwein.



Liked Hamburg - don't know how much like the rest of Germany it is, but felt like somewhere that I could quite happily live (if I could speak the lingo...)

I'd move to Germany in a heartbeat. And I can't speak the lingo (that well, I must sound like an English Borat to them).
