Sunday 23rd July 2023 a "ship" day. Firstly a ferry trip to visit the harbour museum at Övelgönne, looking at a couple of steam powered ships; then another ferry back to walk through the Elbtunnel, a foot tunnel under the river Elbe, to connect into a bus to the Hafenmuseum where we were shown around the steel-hulled four-masted bark "Peking". Then I had to get home, via bus, two U-Bahn rains and S-Bahn train to Hamburg Airport, flying via Amsterdam to Manchester with KLM.
