Ooh, thanks for the tip about the gluhwein! And I love getting comments like this that offer additional information!

I am currently in Hamburg with my husband for the Christmas markets and have local friends as guides to them. We love our friends but they are typical “take control of your life” kinds of people so anything I want to do is challenged as not good, too much trouble or some other excuse. We are staying in St George near WinterPride market and have been there , Spitalerstrasse, Hamburger Dom and St Pauli in the Reeperbahn. I hope to get to the Rathaus at City Hall tomorrow. We are planning on driving to Lubeck on Saturday for their market. Your hotel is better than mine although mine is not bad, just tiny. Almost too small for 2 people. It’s the Novum Alster Hamburg. Quite clean, fair breakfast, comfortable bed. I usually don’t plan to spend much time in my hotel room when traveling so that’s a big driver but you need some space to circulate around the bed. PS: we found the best gluhwein at the coffee shop to the boarding platform of the ferry boat on the Elbe. All gluhwein is NOT the same!
