Awoke and left early. Nice drive through the North Luneberg Heath. Started clouding up and rained after noon. Had lunch in a restraunt just before Muden. Pork Cutlet and French Fries. Was chased by British and German tanks in Bispingen. Sounds just like home too, artillery firing could be heard all morning. Arrived at the Youth Hostel at 3 pm. There's plenty of kids here, mostly young German students. Those punks kept me up until midnight.

Went into Hamburg city on the subway. Walked around downtown. Went to the top of St. Michael's (440 steps). Walked down St Pauli, Hamburg's sin center. The sidewalk salesmen tried to get me to go into the clubs for a look. Picked up the bicycle and rode back to the hostel. Lunch downtown was in an American cafe. Two hamburgers, two orders of French Fries, two cokes. Took the bike out to Hamburg's airport and browsed around. It reminded me of the days, only a month ago, when I was landing in Luxembourg. Read my Reader's Digest and went to bed late.

Ate breakfast at the youth hostel. Left for Hamburg. Made good time into Neumunster, took my time into Bad Bramstadt. Arrived in Hamburg at 3:30 pm. Bought the tires and a bell. Got to the youth hostel at 4:30 pm. It was full. Left my bike and rode with a guy from Switzerland to the other youth hostel. Went to the U-Station and had some food. Checked in at 6:30 and worte. A boy and his girl from Tokyo gave me their address. I let him use my razor, which he needed badly.
