HAMBURG, BEST LAID PLANS...

 go awry. Planned to have nice breakfast, go ashore at midday, meet up with the family, quality time & go back on board in the evening as ship didn't sail until 5am next day. About 8:15am Captain comes on in the cabin - Germans on strike, have to leave port early at 3:30pm. Panic in the cabin to try and re-arrange meeting, got people out of bed, but still Aunty Ruth & family had to cancel. Public transport now not quick enough to make the time so good old Uber steps up & does the job. 




The Steinwerder Cruise Terminal in Hamburg is a mess, it has no decent transport links at all, you probably have to walk close to a mile to the bus stop. Next stop Zeebrugge, which we here is also on strike, let's see.
