After leaving Berlin, we continued our little tour of big German cities and went to visit Dizzy and Sonja in Hamburg for the weekend. After wandering around visiting bars throughout the city on Friday, we had a lazy morning Saturday and then went to Miniatur Wunderland.
It is basically a museum of model trains, cars, planes, people, buildings and all kinds of moving parts. They are designed to look like various countries in Europe, and there's even a USA section with some wild west scenes. There is an airport with planes that take off and land, and a Scandinavian harbor scene with boats sailing on water. If you look closely enough, you can make out all kinds of details - a kids' birthday party, a crime scene, cows scuba diving, and the occasional R rated romantic encounter.
I can imagine my nephews leaning over the railings, mouths hanging open, fascinated by all the trains, pushing buttons to make the little scenes move. Of course, there were plenty of grown men doing that too.
Here are some photos to give you a better idea.
