I’d never been to Germany before so was very curious about what to expect from a trip to Hamburg. I went on a stag do and was pleasantly surprised by what a cool city it is. Food wise it was fairly insane but that partly because we hit the tourist areas and ate tourist based food. Will upload some photos but this trip was pre blog so no real focus. Pig knuckle and currywursts stick in the mind as do, of course, the steins of beer. Best wishes to the fab Pod and Em, am looking forward to the big day.

The one thing that will always live with me is tucking into the below ‘pig’s knuckle’ in a traditional German restaurant – it’s a awful lot of meat!
