Grand Tour to north Germany with Berlin and Poland
Up EARLY in the morning for the Fischmarkt, which opens at 0600! What began many years ago as a marketplace for fishermen to sell their products from the Elbe River and the North Sea has evolved into a huge flea market, filled with souvenirs and goodies of all sorts. There are crowds of people from all over - music comes from the main hall, people are dancing inside while outside shoppers search for just the right treasure.

After a few relaxing hours in the hotel, we are off to the river again and board our boat for the two hour harbor tour where we have a chance to meet one another in an informal setting and to relax and learn the history of this important German trade city.
