Hi Mummy,
we took a walk along the river Wupper today, in Solingen, the neighbour city. We started our trip in Balkhausen, a small hamlet in this rural area. Here we saw a lot of those typical half-timbered houses.
Most of those houses have a garden.
We met a ladybug sitting between the flowers.
You won't believe it, this ladybug is also a ToyVoyager, her name is Lady.
Lady told us that she hibernated in a nearby barn. She even told us that she knew our host Katja, she already was hosted by her! So Lady decided to come with us.
Such a lovely rural area!
Finally we reached river Wupper, in the background you can see it in the bottom of the valley.
This is river Wupper. Katja told us that usually there would be more water.
This place for resting is made of the old axis of a water wheel.
This old factory building is now a dwelling house.
We crossed the river here.
We rested in the country inn "Wupperhof" for a while, enjoying the sun in the beer garden.
We had a large beer 
We even found more toys here, relaxing in a beach chair.
We tried to persuade them of also becoming ToyVoyagers, but Teddy Bear and Bunny liked their life in the beer garden.
What a gigantic cooking plate!
We had to walk back to the car than.
Part of the river can be separated here, this part of the river a protect zone for fish, so they can grow to adult size. Angling is forbidden here.
Bye
Sampson
