Hamburg!

I have been in Hamburg since Sunday visiting Austin and having so much fun!
Hamburg is soo Big and there are tons of things to do! .. we took a ferry around the Harbour and got some really great pictures.. then we went in the HighFlyer which is a Hot Air balloon that goes 150m up and you can see everything! it was amazing! Every day we ride our bike or walk to the subway or train station and from there you can go anywhere, i usually but a day pass everyday for 5 euro and it allows me to go on the ferry, subway, train, and bus all included! the transportation system is amazing!!!! very very cool, so we walk everywhere and went shopping in the billions of shops here which is fun! We were in H&M when we saw a bar on wheels so we ran outside to take a pictures, and pretty much it was a table where about 8 people sit and drink beer but while they are sitting they are peddling haha so its pretty much the coolest bike thing ever but very hard to explain.. i will get a picture up on facebook fairly soon. Austin and i went to Hamburg Dungeon which was probably the coolest thing ever!!!!! Its a haunted house but its wayy cool, like they went all out, its not a normal haunted house where people just jump out to scare you, everyone is like a professional actor and they let groups go in at like 20 people at a time and its very interactive.. so one part the guy chose me and austin to be his "examples" and i had to sit in a cage while he tortured austin and he got out tools to poke his eyes out and twist his tounge and all kinds of stuff it was so funny, and he would say that if i told him a secret he would stop torturing austin,, but it was too funny to watch so i kept quiet hahah.. anyways its hard to explain everything but it was cool and there was one part where we were walking and it was completely pitch black , i couldnt see 2 feet in front of me, and i was soo scared! haha tehn near the end you get on a boat and you go on like a water raft ride but its soo dark and i was so scared something was going to pop out of the dark haha and then all of a sudden the ride stops and you go down a hill baskwards haha.. it was soo crayz! and then you get out and walk into this room thats pitch black and you sit in a ride like drop zone and it takes you to the top and all of a sudden lights flash on and you see bodies hanging all around you, it was sooo crazy adn the next thing you know it drops you and just like at carowinds it takes a picture and needless to say my face was hilarious hahah austins was too.. really very very funny.. so those are just a few of the adventures and im pretty sure i have walked like a trillion miles haha but i really like Hamburg its great! Austins host family is really nice too and they are letting me stay at their house and ride their bike and stuff which is really nice of them! I am ready to go back to Altenburg though and see svenja and all of my friends! wish me luck on the train ride back becuase i have to switch trains at 2 places.. ohhh man . hahah i hope i figure it out!
love and miss everyone! xoxo emily
