It all started a few days ago, when we visited our friends who live on the attic.

Posted Jun 10, 2013, 4:39 pm
Erwin and Hermine welcomed us to the attic. We found a lot of interesting things there, including the world map that inspired us to travel.

In the evening we went to a diner and enjoyed an exotic salad.

Posted Jun 10, 2013, 5:05 pm
The exotic atmosphere encouraged us and we talked the whole evening about possible destinations and of course our list of life missions.

In the end we agreed: WE WANT TO TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD!!!

Today we started our journey in Schönberg near Kiel. In his spare time Tommy is a volunteer fire fighter. He showed me a really cool drawing on a generator house at the volunteer fire department Schönberg and we took some pictures.

Just one day later, Tommy and his fire brigade were called to put out a fire. Tommy was allowed to drive the fire engine!

Then he had to block off the street.

Tommy and his fire brigade made their preparations and finally they started to put out the fire. Great job, Tommy!

Yeah! What a hot and sunny day!

Today our mom took us to a new adventure. We started at Bad Schwartau, where turtles picked us up. Then we met Mondkind at Hamburg and drove to Hanover, the capital of Lower Saxony.

Our mom told us, that we go to a postcrossing meet-up. She loves postcards very much, and as it seems, there are more poeple like our mom.

As usual in Hannover, our meeting point was "unterm Schwanz", what means, we met at the front of the Central Station among the Ernst-August-Memorial:

And bit by bit some very cheery people arrived. We heard a lot of laughter. The postcrossers decided to stroll through a shopping street, to buy some postcards. At a stop we realized, that there were other ToyVoyagers. We need a group shot!

Then we saw a reading owl which worked as wastebin:

For dinner we took place at the Bavarium. While the postcrossers signed a lot of postcards, we talked with the other Toy Voyagers. RedRudiTeh had a lot to report. - Mom, we love Hanover, but we want to see foreign countries!

But first we brace ourselves with a great tarte flambée :)

Late at night we arrived back at our home and were so tired - but it was a very interesting day.

Thank you mom!

The next day we sat in a cafe and wondered what we could do. The wall had a huge picture on it which inspired us. We wanted to go to the beach and see the first lighthouse!

On our way to the beach we were very surprised to see a lighthouse in the middle of the road. It is the preserved top of the old lighthouse from Kiel-Friedrichsort.

Just before we reached our destination we discovered a climbing park and decided to try it ourselves.

Finally at the beach!!! Tommy was really excited when he saw the the first ships. In the distance we even spotted our destination for the day: the lighthouse Kiel-Friedrichsort.
wrath


Posted Jul 21, 2013, 2:59 pm
Our first real lighthouse! We were so delighted that we took a lot of pictures.

After the very long walk and the climbing experience we enjoyed ourselves on the beach for the rest of the day.

After a really relaxed day on the beach, we met our friends Hermine and Erwin in a pub nearby and had a few beers. It was a funny evening...

Today we went to visit the Wildpark Lüneburger Heide near Nindorf-Hanstedt in Lower Saxony. We met some really cute animals there, but not all of them were peaceful...

Annika was especially fond of the not so furry creatures in the park.
wrath


Posted Aug 4, 2013, 3:32 pm
We discovered the retired Hedwig in one of the cages, but she didn´t react when we spoke to her...

One part of the huge park is called Tundra-Erlebniswald. That´s where we finally met a Tiger!

Our last destination for the day was the reptile house. Who would have thought that it might become this dangerous for Tommy...
wrath


Posted Aug 4, 2013, 4:12 pm
After the thrilling events in the reptile house we needed to take it slow and decided to visit the castle in Schwerin.

Posted Aug 4, 2013, 4:16 pm
Suddenly the weather changed from hot and sunny to cold and stormy. A heavy thunderstorm was approaching very fast and we had to hurry back to the car!
wrath


Posted Aug 4, 2013, 4:21 pm
Luckily we arrived at the car before we became soaking wet! But the rain was so heavy that we had to wait until the view returned.
wrath


Posted Aug 4, 2013, 4:30 pm
On our way back home we took a break next to a field where we discovered some nice flowers.

Today our plan was to visit the North Sea. We had to cross the Nord-Ostsee-Kanal and used the ferry Landwehr.

On our way to the North Sea we took a break in the car near Husum.

Reußenköge is a municipality in the district of Nordfriesland, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is situated on the North Sea coast, approx. 17 km northwest of Husum.

The municipality includes a number of polders, two of which were financed by Count Heinrich XLIII of Reuß-Schleiz-Köstritz and his wife Louise and thus bear the names Louisen-Reußen-Koog and Reußenkoog. Thus the name of the municipality was combined from both names, meaning literally in English: polders of the Reußes.

We went to visit the Sönke-Nissen-Koog.

wrath


Posted Aug 18, 2013, 10:20 am
The Sönke-Nissen-Koog is a part of the Reußenköge. It was built between 1924 and 1926.

We parked the car and took a walk to the sea dike.

On the sea dike there were a lot of sheep.

We wanted to talk to them but they were too shy...  ;)

The Wadden Sea is a special landscape. The ebb and flow of the tides enable you to walk on the seabed without getting wet. During low tide, you can walk far out on to the mud flats or up to the holms and islands. Far from the villages you can watch the constant growth and decay of tidal creeks, sand banks and dunes.

Hamburger Hallig is an area that is not protected by sea dikes. It is therefore counted among the Halligen islands.

Strictly speaking, Hamburger Hallig is no longer an island because it has been connected to the mainland by the causeway. Today, it adjoins to the floodplains off Sönke-Nissen-Koog, and like the latter it is part of the Reußenköge municipality. Until 1899 though, Hamburger Hallig was administered as an unincorporated estate.

The main Warft is located four kilometres west off the sea dike of Sönke-Nissen-Koog. It does not have a proper name. On it, there are three buildings.

Hello guys ;)

Friday last week, when we were at work, Anna talked to us, if we would like to join in the First International Toy Voyager Meeting in the Lüneburger Heide (=Lueneburg Heath).

That sounded so bewitching, that we didn't hesitate. We jumped in the backpack of turtles. We know her from a further excursion to Hanover this year.

We started towards Soltau at Saturday morning.

In Soltau turtles met a lot of those crazy people called postcrosser and we waited impatiently for the other travelling toys...

First we visited Soltau and bought - you guess right - postcards:

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ze3yPLiBwKM/UhxEiKp8WsI/AAAAAAAAIBM/Rn4lwreRHmg/s640/Tommy_Annika_001.JPG

Here we met some "Landsknechte" - they are very tall ...

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-JsioBDR0sf8/UhxEYX2Wh4I/AAAAAAAAIA8/9rwGqY04_kw/s640/Tommy_Annika_002.JPG

Then we went to Behringen in the Heath. Look at these postcard. :D How nice. Another Tommy and Annika...

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Nz2Q_VykR98/UhxEsIOIpHI/AAAAAAAAIBU/iZyg-gZxf_k/s640/Tommy_Annika_003.JPG

The postcrossers were busy with their postcards, so we had time to look around. The Lueneburg Heath was blooming so beautiful:

This is our meet-up group photo:

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-0THBClZpR84/UhxFapxdNJI/AAAAAAAAIB0/I4_IkufsuT4/s800/Tommy_Annika_007.JPG

We had a lot of fun and met a lot of interesting travelling toys. Especially Zottel, a very handsome and charming bear reported a lot of adventures.
But the main theme, of course, was F. M. Baer's kidnapping in the Iran. Turtles told us, that she will pay each ransom money and that she think (and hope), he is alright

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-JrIFEc6JLgY/UhxFHAgVZtI/AAAAAAAAIBk/PXLAch-sgqk/s640/Tommy_Annika_006.JPG

That was a wonderful day and we enjoy it very much.

See you soon ...

After the Saturday in the heath, we had a look at the coast of the Baltic Sea on Sunday:

It was a wonderful late summer day with a lot of sunshine.

We met a good friend of turtles' and during a walk at the beach we collect some decoration for Augusta (a handsome sea gull)

But we kept the "Hühnergott" (=Adder stone), which we have found. :D
