Das ist das non plus ultra!…read more Ich bin vor 2 Wochen mit den RIB Piraten durch den Hafen gekachelt und es gibt wenig, was auf dem Wasser soviel Spass macht! An dem Tag war das Wetter echt bescheiden, aber selbst der Pisselregen hat uns nicht gestört. Mit Vollkaracho übers Wasser, das ist Adrenalin pur und echter Fahrspass! Das Team ist super nett und professionell! Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert! This is an absolute must do if youre interested into speed boat trips. I did it 2 weeks ago and it was a lots of fun. Although the weather wasnt really good, we enjoyed the speed cruise a lot. This is an adrenalin rush amazing! The RIB team is very friendly and professional and will instruct you as needed. Very recommendable!

Given that I am a native English speaker and still consider my German to be so-so, I was a bit apprehensive about signing up for a sailing course since the end-goal is obviously to pass both the written and practical exam to receive one's sailing license. Needless to say, my convinced me to give it a shot and I'm glad that I did. The Prusse staff was extremely accommodating and would explain things in English if I was a bit uncertain about the German explanation. In the end, I passed both the practical and written exam and now am a proud holder of a sailing license in Germany. Almost nobody fails the practical exam as it's recommended that you complete 40 hours of sailing before taking the exam, but quite a few people do not pass the written exam.

When visitors want to see Hamburg in one day, it's a hard task. Thankfully, there are many double…read moredecker tour bus operators only too happy to accept the challenge. Lined up outside of the Hauptbahnhof (train central station), many companies will compete for your custom. Expet some compete harder than others. The first bus we approached was wanting to charge us 6EUR for a seven month old baby! The second company, Blaue Linie, didn't, so we went with them. The tour takes about one hour 45 minutes and will take you along the new Speicherstadt, Landungsburcken (harbour), the Reeperbahn, the Rathaus (city hall), the posh parts of Hamburg with houses to die for and the Alster. The tour guide will do the commentary in English if you ask at the start. Very interesting. Only knocked a star off coz the seats weren't that comfortable!
