Week 21: 10/09/2012 - 16/09/2012
I was excited to head be heading home to the UK for a pair
of Stag Dos, with the added bonus of catching up with family and friends.
My mum and sister surprised me by meeting me off the plane
at Heathrow, which was lovely. Then it was off meet up for a quick beer with
Briana in Exmouth Arms.
Particularly amusing was the bum, who literally had his bum hanging out and
took a particular liking to Bri!!!

I’ve have known Nige since I was 8 years old, we’ve grown up
together, I love him like a brother, so it was great to be able to head off on
his stag do to celebrate him moving on to the next phase of his life, as one of
his 3 (Three!) Best Men. We headed off to Hamburg and by Friday afternoon we kayaked
round the canals and across Außenalster with a few beers…. Lovely until the
final 30 minutes when it poured. The evening was dinner in the excellent Hofbrauhaus, steins, meat and dirdls, I love Germany! Then
on to the Reeperbahn….
I’m not sure we saw the best of the place thanks to Del’s recommendation of
underage night at Thomas Read!

Saturday was an early start for the Beer Bicycle tour, which was soooo much fun. Bizarrely
we attended both an Ikea demonstration and an Ikea photo shoot on our tour.
Matty was an absolute handful all afternoon. Nige being handcuffed to a
shopping trolley provided the afternoons entertainment. In the evening we had
an awesome steak,
then a warm up at 80s disco in Reeperbahn
before hitting the very cool Revolver Club for a fantastic indie night. The evening/morning was rounded off at the Fischmarkt for a few more
beers and a raw stem of ginger…. Great end to the night.

Sunday we enjoyed the sunshine and a walk around the city.
Hamburg really is a lovely place.
Thanks to Rich for organising a really awesome weekend.
