HANNOVER & SEHNDE on my own







I enjoyed myself in Hannover very much by visiting the places we are going to spot in September: THE GREAT ZOO, where I was able to be the nearest the hippos I'd ever been, to watch a polar bear just from down under its territory and even to "stroke" flamingos; the AUTOSTADT or some sort of "the town of cars", a place which brought some beautiful & old souvenirs into my mind when watching some also beautiful & old car models; HANNOVER'S magnificent TOWN HALL , at the top of which you can capture the most impressive views of Hannover & surroundings -remember this! you won't want to miss the opportunity to use the lift up to the tower once & again, it's almost like to get trapped inside a Hitchcock film. I also had a wonderful time being able to "live" the lively atmosphere created by German football supporters at the 2010 World Cup and I found myself some sort of really-lucky-witness when I came up with the opportunity of sharing the match Spain vs Germany at a German home where there were two couples of German-she-Spanish-he and their "Gerpanish" children. There are so many places that come to my mind when I close my eyes and think of my German stay that I could get you bored with the list: Marktkirche, the only church that stood up after the massive destruction of the city during II World War, Hauptbanhoff, a certainly "peculiar" railway station, where you can stroll around for shopping or for a lunch with friends as it is plenty of both, shops and "restaurants" and so on... Maschsee lake, an artificial lake made by the citizens of Hannover "obliged" by the nazis, the Nanas, some modern sculptures that have become an emblematic symbol of the city, Podbielskistrasse, a very long street that I ran up and down every day anytime I wanted to go anywhere in Hannover... Well, to finish with I must say that German people were very kind to me, that I also liked it strongly the beautiful surroundings of Sehnde with those picturesque farms and those "seas" of flat land and green grass, etc.etc.etc.
