We had planned to go to Copenhagen from Hamburg, but the hostel/hotel prices there were pretty steep, especially after all our time in Eastern Europe. Since the weather to the north looked rainy and neither of us really cared much about the stop in Copenhagen (we had heard it described as "super cool and trendy" so many times that we guessed we wouldn't like it), we decided at the last minute to head south back to Munich and enjoy one more beer garden before leaving Germany.
It was on the way to the grocery store and the train station that we finally found the area of Hamburg that we could enjoy. A nice, cheap, friendly shopping street lined with kabab places and supermarkets. I think we may have enjoyed the city much more if we had walked in this direction first..
After an uneventful 5 hour train ride, we arrived back in Munich. We returned to the same camp ground we had stayed in before, repaired our tent to its best condition in weeks, and set up camp. Then we went out to the beer garden where we had the terrible credit card confusion the week before. This time it all worked out much better. Every table in the huge garden was filled with people, and we eventually found a spot on a picnic table next to a group of Germans who happened to be joined by a student from San Diego and were thus speaking English. We played cards, made sandwiches, and drank a couple of steins of beer as the sun set over the park.
