Stop 126 - Hamburg

Our last postcard was sent to Hamburg, in Germany, 1834 kilometers away!


This postcard was sent to Sylvia. It was sent by Luis, an A1 student who wrote on a small postcard featuring one of French poet Paul Verlaine's most famous lines.



On the card, Luis pours a wealth of information about himself, his family and favorite holiday places, and still finds space to praise our beaches.


Thanks, Luis!
