We then drove on to north Germany stopping first at the Hotel Stadt Cuxhaven followed by dinner in the Hapag-Hallen we joined up with who had flown over.

 

The Hapag-Hallen was built between 1900-1913 and used to book in passengers who were emigrating to the U.S.A. Hundreds of thousands set out from here on Hapag line ships (Hamburg-American Packet company formed in 1847) for a new start across the pond.
