Translation of bramble in German

We wanted to take a hot shower but there was no hot water at all. We asked someone to fix it and he showed us that there was a heating switch outside the bathroom which would turn on the boiler.
Our fisherman stopped the boat and his nine year old girl opened a box with souvenirs, clothes and hats. We were in the middle of a river not going anywhere and had to start buying things.
Hi George, I speak a little bit of English but not very well. Can you correct my mistakes if I have any? I will help you with German. Writing is important, it helps to focus. Thank you for your answer.
