Hamburg

We made it to Hamburg yesterday and all is well. Our last night in Amsterdam was pretty entertaining. We went out for some absinthe at a pretty chill place, which ended up not even having normal absinthe (apparently they were out of stock on the thing they base their bar off of). We ended up getting some strawberry absinthe that was alright, but overpriced. We wandered around to some other places and ended up at a small little place where we had this interesting beer called Kwak and comes in a cool glass with a wooden handle. We ran out of money buying drinks and had enough, collectively, for one more round. Somehow Tyler went in to buy the cheaper beer we could afford and some girl ended up ordering us more Kwak, which we couldn't afford, so she picked up our tab. The 7 hour bus ride to Hamburg went well and we got into town at about 11 and took a 30 min bus ride to this guys place. We just had his name and address from finding him on couchsurfing.com. His name is Malte and he's a teacher/student/computer engineer, cool guy. So we just came into his place talked a bit, and then slept on his couch, so basically a free hostel. I recommend checking couchsurfing.com out for cheap travel. He had to get up early for work so we headed out at around 9ish and toured around town. After finding our hostel we got pretty lost on the way back to Malte's to pick up our stuff. Now we're about to check out this museum and then some hip-hop show tonight we got a flier for. Yes, yes y'all.
