    We really enjoyed the tour through the harbor and the Speicherstadt. Captain Markus gave us a lot of interesting information in an amusing and entertaining way. We also liked the fact that we were able to sit outside in the back of the boat despite the cold and damp weather. You can find a few drawn impressions of me on Instagram under heweneca. I've also tagged you there.
