Hamburg Day 5 - Last day before departure... my training diary entry from September 15 2026

Hi Actifitters,

we frittered away half of the last full day of our Hamburg trip. Because it was so hot in the hotel room the night before last, we didn't manage to fall asleep until late and consequently got a late start yesterday.

I had actually intended to try out the fish shop around the corner yesterday to see if their Backfisch (battered fried fish) was really as good as the AI had claimed.

In the end, we went to the "Fischpfanne" restaurant right by the Landungsbrücken to have Backfisch. We’ve visited that spot at least once every time we’ve been to Hamburg. The Backfisch was just as good as it always is, making it a fitting "farewell fish" for my Backfisch tour.

Afterwards, we stopped by "Strand Pauli," a beach bar located between the Landungsbrücken and Altona. We had two cocktails there and enjoyed what might well be the last truly warm day of the year.

Then we headed back to my sister's wife and her family, where we spent a relaxing evening winding down.

Mission 80 (Day 79 = ? / Goal = 80.0 kg / Initial weight = 90.0 / Total loss = ? kg)

After yesterday's calories from fried fish, cocktails, and dinner, I don't want to know what awaits me on the scale tomorrow.

There isn't much on the agenda today. Our train leaves Hamburg Central Station around midday. Before that, we’ll pack our bags at a leisurely pace and perhaps treat ourselves to a coffee and a light breakfast on the way to the station. Otherwise, I’ll have to figure out how to get in my minimum of 10,000 steps—that’s not always easy on long travel days.
