we spent a few days in london with my wife's cousin and her husband. we covered tons of ground and had meat pies for dinner three times, as they're one of the things laura misses most about home (and i quite like them myself). we then went on to hamburg, germany; at first i wasn't impressed, but only because i didn't really know where to go. by the third day there, i had a lay of the land and we saw the best parts of town, including the st pauli red light district, but only during the day, unfortunately. it's a great smaller european city; we did the whole beer hall thing and also sampled a lot of great seafood fresh from the north sea. the beer in germany really is fantastic - there was an aldi type market near our hotel where i picked up some cheap pilsner in plastic bottles. it was delicious.

All for under 1300 USD. Pretty good, yeah?
