Hi,
I'm Sally,

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7233999_zps18647fac.jpg

a small seal.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7234000_zpsfb2364ea.jpg

Although I wear a pink scarf my favorite color is blue.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7234001_zps5ef772bb.jpg

The sky is blue, the sea is blue - I love this color.
Here you see me with our guests.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7234004_zps498e1137.jpg

They told me a lot about their travels. The stories are so exciting, now I want to try it too.

Here I sit on our blue sofa - with Ismaya.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7234002_zps447305a0.jpg

I love him. Just look at its color.

Hello,
Yesterday I helped with the cleaning

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7254011_zps5d55b7d0.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7254009_zps8316da0c.jpg

and our guests.

Hi
This morning was kind of boring to me.
I climbed a tree in order to see a butterfly,

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/Hemming60002/TV2/P7264020_zpscac28034.jpg

but was not real.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/Hemming60002/TV2/P7264019_zps3e626cf3.jpg

Then I wanted to smell a beautiful flower

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/Hemming60002/TV2/P7264018_zps8a3ff3e4.jpg

- she did not smell.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/Hemming60002/TV2/P7264017_zps00503d22.jpg

So I decided to play with my smurfs.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/Hemming60002/TV2/P7264028_zps74e3f28d.jpg

Then Jasper called me in, and told me that I have received an invitation.
Bergrheinfeld in Germany.
I was allowed to use the computer.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/Hemming60002/TV2/P7264025_zps20e9ecae.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/Hemming60002/TV2/P7264024_zpsc2539be4.jpg

Ooh, Ooh

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/Hemming60002/TV2/P7264023_zpsa03b0b05.jpg

I will travel to Lower Franconia. The small town is situated on a river, called Main.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/Hemming60002/TV2/P7264021_zps65c7e4d0.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/Hemming60002/TV2/P7264022_zps84e18209.jpg

Sounds wonderful.

Jasper told me that the Main is a very romantic river with big bows and beautiful shores. Years ago she even made ​​a trip through Franconia. The longer we looked at everything became clear: Jasper was in Bergrheinfeld, the Hotel Weisses Ross. She could remember the two cooling towers of nuclear power plant on the other side of River Main.
Incredible.
Now I'll pack my things, I'm in a hurry. I will travel - Juhu!
I have to look a gift - it should be something special.

Hello
Today I launched into my adventure. First stop: Lower Franconia in Germany. I am sooo excited and I hope that the journey passes quickly. To sit quietly and do nothing is not my thing.

Bye bye big blue

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/Hemming60002/TV2/P7274039_zpsa7c8e49d.jpg

They wished me a safe trip and have fun.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/Hemming60002/TV2/P7274040_zpsebc9705e.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/Hemming60002/TV2/P7274041_zpse23fda71.jpg

I will have for sure.
Quickly packed everything into the envelope and crawling behind.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/Hemming60002/TV2/P7274042_zps4a428d38.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/Hemming60002/TV2/P7274043_zps8c6b52ac.jpg

Last goodbye and go.

Hello!

Today I visited the city of Bamberg.

The oldtown of Bamberg is very beautiful and interesting because it is a UNESCO  World Heritage Site.

This is the river  "Regnitz".
http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q658/toyvoyager2013/Sally%20Seal/P1100228_zpsa4318090.jpg

First I show you the "Altes Rathaus" (Old Town Hall).
http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q658/toyvoyager2013/Sally%20Seal/P1100235_zpsc738d555.jpg

The painting on the house wall is amazing!
http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q658/toyvoyager2013/Sally%20Seal/P1100241_zps3c7322af.jpg

Behind me is "Klein-Venedig" (Little Venice).  There we go now.
http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q658/toyvoyager2013/Sally%20Seal/P1100240_zps0dd205bc.jpg

Here we are! "Little Venice" are very old buildings from the fishermen.

This is the cathetral.
http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q658/toyvoyager2013/Sally%20Seal/P1100210_zps86e95ea8.jpg

Beside the cathetral is the "Alte Hofhaltung" (Old Court).

http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q658/toyvoyager2013/Sally%20Seal/P1100222_zps19209cc1.jpg

Bamberg was built on 7 hills like Rome.
One of this hills is the "Altenburg".

Here isn't  much to see...

Schweinfurt is a typical little industrial city...

The theater.

A fountain beside the theater.

In Schweinfurt the ball bearing was invented.
This is a really big one...

On the river "Main".

Then we go to an Ice cream parlour.
It was a surprise for rosemarie because one of her Life Mission is to eat a large icecream.

Hi Mum!

Well, finally I arrived in Australia! It was such a long way from Germany, I thought I'd never arrive.
As I crawled out of my travel bag, there were lots of lovely toys ready to meet me.

Hi Mum!

Today we went to Fitzroy Gardens. It's a traditional English-style park on the edge of the city. The early pioneers in Melbourne decided that the city should have lots of parks, so Fitzroy Gardens was founded in 1848. There are lots of paths for people to walk on, and interesting things to look at throughout the park.

This is the Model Tudor Village. It's got Shakespeare's House and lots of other buildings. We weren't allowed into the village, but just looked from the edge.

Hi Mum!

It's the night before Christmas and we're having a Christmas Eve dinner. But first we're going to open some of the presents!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v127/apartmentcat/ToyVoyagers/x1s_zps16a6d75b.jpg

For dinner we had roasted vegetables and meats, it was yummy.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v127/apartmentcat/ToyVoyagers/x2s_zps5e861d61.jpg

Then for dessert we had trifle, a Yule log lamington, and some apricots from Host Sister's tree.

Hello!

Today we welcomed a new toy, Alien Princes. She travelled all the way from the U.S.A.
It was a very long trip, but now she's here safe and sound.

Hi Mum!

Today we went for a walk by the Yarra River. It's been very hot recently, but today was a little cooler so we went out at lunch time. Along this part of the river is the Melbourne Aquarium and Flinders Street Station.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v127/apartmentcat/ToyVoyagers/r1s_zpsc3f34a4d.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v127/apartmentcat/ToyVoyagers/r2s_zpsa88fa5ca.jpg

On the far side is Southbank, where a lot of new skyscrapers are being built. There's Eureka Tower, the largest building in Melbourne. A bigger tower has just been approved for building though, so it won't be the tallest for long!

The air was very hazy today, why was that? We checked the new bushfire information website to find out if there are any fires in the state of Victoria at the moment. There are some, but they're far north of here. Host Sister says that no-one was hurt, so that's lucky.

Dear mommy,
I've just arrived to the sunny California... which turned out to be not so sunny :) It's been raining almost all day long. Marina said, there has been a drought here till recently but now it's finally raining and everyone is happy because all the trees, and flowers, and fruits need water to grow. Marina is my new hostess. She showed me her office, her postcards wall and the plants. She is a postcrosser which means she exchanges postcards with people all over the world. I enjoyed my first day in USA but now I'm tired after the long journey and going to bed... good night!

Gosh! I'm so tired... and happy :)

We've just returned from the fantastic vacation in Carmel-by-the-Sea, a small charming place full of blooming flowers. We went there all together to celebrate Marina's and Pasha's anniversary. This town is very pet friendly so Malysh, the German shepherd, could enjoy this getaway with us.

So, the 1st good news is - I fulfilled 1/2 of my goals and swam in the Pacific Ocean (which turned out to be freezing).

And the 2nd is, on our way back we stopped in Monterey and visited my cousins, sea lions!

Posted May 8, 2014, 5:09 am
I must have fallen asleep as I don't remember how I was brought to this new place. Still in my bag, I heard some whispers and realized I was about to meet my new friends! It was entrusted to StewartBig - old wise mouse - to open the bag.
Mouse


Posted May 8, 2014, 5:15 am
As I got out of my bag, I met my new friends. So, mum, let me introduce them to you. StewartBig - white mouse, too old to travel, so he only stays at home and travels with his mentor. MrBear - he is getting ready for his very first adventure. he is going to Germany!! And StudentMouse - young rodent who loves school.

I was just familiarizing myself with the new place, when something huge and furry jumped in front of me and grabbed me before I could realize what was going on  :o

Don't worry, mum! It turned out to be my host's pet - a persian cat named Muffin (isn't it a funny name  :D). She is very friendly and already promised to help me if i need anything )))

Today I got up and went to see what it's like outside. The view from our window wasn't promising. But I had to wake up and get ready - I was going to school with my host she had something called "final" today and was a little worried about it, so I was not sure what the plan for the rest of the day was. :stare: :thinking:
Mouse


Posted May 10, 2014, 6:32 am
So while my host was in the class, I looked around the campus. It looked pretty - all green, trees, palms, nice weather!

Posted May 10, 2014, 6:38 am
Once the class was over, we went to the post office to send MrBear to Germany and sign and send some postcards (postcrossing is fun!)
Mouse


Posted May 10, 2014, 7:01 am
As we finished with the post office, we got in the car and that is when I found out that we were going to Fisherman's Wharf!!! But soon this traffic ruined our plans. It was clear that we wouldn't be able to make it there before dark  :(  Not could we do another thing we had planned - go to a lake near our place :(

Frustrated with this traffic, we pulled over to get a quick snack.

Of course i couldn't have come here all alone. My friends are here as well :)
Mouse


Posted May 31, 2014, 12:00 am
I guess they like us here.

We had such a great day yesterday. At first we wanted to go to Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, but then we realized that Mouse had a whole day off, so we thought going out of town would be a good idea. Even though the drive was a little tiring (2.5 hours from our place), it was well worth it. We got to drive on famous "17 mile drive" road that connects Monterey and Carmel. Both towns are small and really cute. I'm really happy I got to spend this much time on the beach. I hope you are doing well there, mum! Miss you. Your S-S.

I was very sad to find out that our website was not working, because it meant that I can't get in touch with you and show you my pictures ( Happily, it's all working now and I can tell you all about my adventures! Right now my host Mouse and I are sitting here watching Ellen Show and getting ready to post the pictures. Are you ready?!

So, here how it began! We took this little trip to the city on Janu 5th, 2014. Other tvs, Mouse and I got in her car and drove to San Francisco city! The whole reason we took this trip was because I really wanted to see the famous Fisherman's Wharf. I felt so special! We were gonna spend all day there! Right few minutes before getting to the place, we pulled over and took couple of pictures. I was feeling very playful, so I opened the sun roof and stuck my head out :D

I arrived in Sülfeld and Dicker Kumpel welcomed me.

I showed my card and the chocolate!

Then I looked at all the nice Toyvoyagers here – and look – another seal is living here.

His name is TobiHH – and it is nice to meet him here.

Hello Mum,

Believe it or not – I am on a Cruise Ship. It is the Mein Schiff 4. Although I was planned to be here for the June/July-Swap, RikeH invited me to join her on this Cruise.

First I show you the pool.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0022.jpg

We started in Hamburg and had nice views over the new part of the Port.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0027.jpg

Look, the ship had an indoor pool.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0028.jpg

There was a smile on the chimney of the ship.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0035.jpg

No problem, if I would jump into the sea.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0039.jpg

A look into the other direction.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0040.jpg

These guys were so funny. And did you realize that I sat on the BLUE one? (#1)

On the way to our cabin.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0051.jpg

This was our cabin, not that big, but enough for a short cruise.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0056.jpg

We liked this place.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0057.jpg

Then we started our cruise – with music.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0059.jpg

Look, a funny boat with water fountains was in front of us.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0066.jpg

This is a very expensive building in Hamburg.

Hello Mum,

Today it was a day on the Sea – more time to spend on the ship. First we had a cup of coffee.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0087.jpg

The machine did the work.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0092.jpg

Well – water around us – but this is typical for a Cruise.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0096.jpg

Nothing to see in front of us, too.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0101.jpg

Then it was time for artist – these men did great things with fruit and vegetables.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0104.jpg

Look, a funny bird.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0109.jpg

These guys were great.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0115.jpg

Some people relaxed next to the Pool.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0116.jpg

Should I run around the ship?

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0122.jpg

Better not…

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0125.jpg

I decided to explore the Ship. These people with the umbrellas were funny.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0129.jpg

I loved this couple.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0133.jpg

We relaxed in the sunshine.

Hello Mum,

We were in Copenhagen and left the Ship for some hours. It looked great! And it is blue... (#2)

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0138.jpg

This was the little Mermaid – full of tourists… but I was the only Seal here at the moment.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0146.jpg

We continued our walk and stopped next to this beautiful fountain.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0148.jpg

Not far away there was this little church.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0152.jpg

I think this is the place where the royals live.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0161.jpg

Oh – a wonderful church.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0162.jpg

I went into it.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0163.jpg

Then we went back to the big place and saw the Guards.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0170.jpg

This is one of the most famous places in Copenhagen, called Nyhavn.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0174.jpg

Look, the town hall…

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0182.jpg

… a funny fountain….

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0181.jpg

… and a big hotel.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0177.jpg

On our way back to the Ship I wanted to have this photo!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0189.jpg

This was a great size of the Ship!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0191.jpg

Time to relax in the sun!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0195.jpg

Then we left – it was a nice day in Denmark.

Hello Mum,

It is the start of summer – so I went into the garden and had a look at all the flowers here.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0002.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0008.jpg

Do you know which vegetable grows here?

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0014.jpg

White flowers were beautiful, too.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0018.jpg

I played with these funny guys.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0022.jpg

And this curious frog told me a lot about the neighbourhood.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0024.jpg

I loved the colour of this flower.

Hello Mum,

Today we walked through Sülfeld.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0151.jpg

There was a nice lake inside the park.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0153.jpg

Behind me you can see the old school.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0157.jpg

There were beautiful roses in front of it.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0163.jpg

This is the emblem of Sülfeld.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0160.jpg

This is the church of Sülfeld, and it was open today.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0168.jpg

We went inside.

,
It was Dicker Kumpel's birthday and we sang a song for him.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0301.jpg

Then it was time for the party.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0311.jpg

I love muffins!

Of course no parties without drinks.

I am on the way to Canada now. In the plane I watched a nice movie.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0005.jpg

Then I looked out of the window. It wasn’t very interesting – only some clouds.

Hello Mum,

Today I visited the fortress Louisbourg. It was built in1719-1745. Surely it was destroyed in the Past, but fortunately the Canadian Government decided to rebuild it in 1961.

You can see the fortress behind me.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0011.jpg

Here I was inside the fortress.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0016.jpg

This was an old storage house.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0018.jpg

It was fun, walking over the old streets.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0023.jpg

This was the biggest and the most beautiful building.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0026.jpg

I went into the kitchen…

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0031.jpg

...and into a nice bedroom.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0036.jpg

I had a great view from this point.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0040.jpg

Surely there was a church in the fortress.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0045.jpg

It was an exciting day!

Hello Mum,

We were close to the Atlantic Ocean and drove to the coast. The Ocean was rough there.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0052.jpg

I love the Sea!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0058.jpg

And surely lighthouses belong to the Coastline. This was a beautiful one.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0060.jpg

Later we went back to Sydney. Yes – there is a Sydney in Canada, too. Today there was a big Cruise Ship in the Port.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0065.jpg

Can you see the big fiddle?

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0068.jpg

Hi Mum,

Today I met an interesting man – his name was Alexander Graham Bell. He was an eminent Scottish-born scientist, inventor, engineer and innovator who is credited with inventing the first practical telephone.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0098.jpg

Of course I couldn’t met him, because he lived some years ago, but I visited his museum.

He worked in a room like this.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0094.jpg

I met an Eagle here – first I thought it was Landroval.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0091.jpg

I really loved this aircraft, called Silver Dart,

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0086.jpg

There were more amazing things in the museum – this was a ship, which is very fast. To tell the truth, I didn’t get all about these technical things…

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0104.jpg

Here I saw the beach with many small rocks – and big waves.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0111.jpg

We continued our trip and stopped at this look off.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0115.jpg

Then it was time for a forest.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0131.jpg

This was a replica of a Scottish crofter’s hut.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0136.jpg

We crossed this beautiful little river.

Hello Mum,

Our second day in the National Park started with this view.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0144.jpg

On a high plateau we walked through a landscape that looked like moorland.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0147.jpg

The plant behind me was an insect-eating plant. I am not an insect, but tried to stay in a safe distance.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0152.jpg

This was the famous view of the Park. We saw a bear with her two children there, but RikeH only watched and didn’t take photos of it.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0155.jpg

Our last stop was at this beach. The sand wasn’t that beautiful, but I liked the rocks behind me.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0159.jpg

We slept that night in Cheticamp. It has a big church.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0164.jpg

We stayed in the blue house, unfortunately it wasn’t as great as we expected.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0169.jpg

But we had a nice small lighthouse next to it – and other colorful houses.

Hi Mum,

Many greetings from a ferry. We are on our way to the Prince-Edward-Island. We go there by ferry. And it is funny – we will drive back to the mainland over a bridge in some days.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0189.jpg

I could see the Island there.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0186.jpg

But the view into the other direction was great, too.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0181.jpg

We saw the other ferry – it had a strange shape.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0194.jpg

Of course it was time for a lighthouse – so we visited the lighthouse of Point Prim.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0201.jpg

We saw some fish traps in front of it.

Today we visited Charlottetown. Behind me you can see the Province House.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0208.jpg

1864 delegates from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the Canadas met here to for the new Canada.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0211.jpg

These two guys were so funny!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0216.jpg

This was the St Dunstan’s Basilica.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0219.jpg

I went inside – it was beautiful.

Here was a view from another direction – you can see, how big it is!

Charottetown has a beautiful harbor.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0256.jpg

Because I love lighthouses, we visited another one. It’s the Covehead Lighthouse.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0260.jpg

We see these flowers anywhere.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0264.jpg

Then we went to the Prince-Edward-Island-National Park.  It is well-known for its high banks.

There was a beach, too. But I preferred the one I saw in the morning.

Hello Mum,

Today we drove over the Island to the lighthouse, where we will spend some nights.

On our way we visited this church – Mont Carmel.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0285.jpg

The interior was beautiful and big!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0289.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0294.jpg

Then we drove to a funny place. Bottle Houses – what will this be?

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0298.jpg

First we saw a beautiful little lake – behind it I saw a strange house.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0301.jpg

It was the Chapel and it is made of approximately 10000 bottles.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0306.jpg

Then I went to the next house – it is the first house that was built by Edouard Asenault. He had the idea for these funny houses.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0309.jpg

Look, I was in front of the bottles.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0315.jpg

This is the house from the other side. It was built in 1980 (12000 bottles).

This was the Cavern- unfortunately they didn’t offer something to drink for me.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0321.jpg

We had to stop next to this big potato.

Eventually we arrived at the West Point Lighthouse. We took this photo from our balcony.

Happy Canada Day, Mum!

We saw another lighthouse today…

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0345.jpg

There was a beautiful view of the beach with the big rocks and the red sand.

We saw fisherboats returning from the Sea at the pier and decided to walk there and have a look.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0348.jpg

Three boats were unloaded there.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0354.jpg

We saw it better in this boat – they caught lobsters.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0355.jpg

Then we went to the North Cape – the most northern part of the island – and surprise – just another lighthouse.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0360.jpg

There were a wind park – this is a Canadian research institute for this kind of energy.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0363.jpg

On our way back we stopped at this picturesque port.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0367.jpg

And now I want to show you more of our lighthouse. This was our room.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0370.jpg

We had a view to the beach.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0371.jpg

This was the other direction.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0340.jpg

I went into the lighthouse museum – and started with a nice living room.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0374.jpg

Of course I went to the top – I had another good view from here.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0378.jpg

This light bulb was so huge! I really love this lighthouse.

Hello Mum,

We went to the Petitcodiac River to see the Tidal Bore. At the moment the river looks normal.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0411.jpg

The wave is coming! A natural phenomenon caused by the surging Bay of Fundy tides (the highest in the world), the Tidal Bore activity occurs twice daily.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0415.jpg

The higher waters in the bay cause the water in the placid Petitcodiac River to roll back upstream in one wave.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0420.jpg

Look, the wave is so high that Surfers can use it!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0424.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-484.jpg

This was interesting!

Hello again,

After seeing the Tidal Bore, we went to the Hopewell Rocks. You should see the Tidal Change there, too.  Today we will see it at high tide. Tomorrow we will come back for the low tide.

Hm, what is great here? A lot of water – they must show better things tomorrow to wow an experienced traveler like me.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0428.jpg

This looked a little better.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0433.jpg

It was very windy at this point.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0435.jpg

This was the famous point – Flower Pot Rocks.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0440.jpg

Well, let’s see it tomorrow.

Hello Mum,

We are here again – today it is low tide. I went to the first point – yesterday there was only water.

Amazing – today we have less water - and a big moat in the ground.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0463.jpg

Here you see the difference to yesterday.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Hopefull21.jpg

Surely I wanted to see it at the other places.

Yesterday I didn’t see that it was an arch.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0459.jpg

Look, yesterday and today.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Hopefull22.jpg

It was exciting to see the ground of the sea.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0447.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Hopefull23.jpg

Then I went to the famous point.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0448.jpg

What a difference!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Hopefull24.jpg

Today we walked down the stairs – yesterday we would not be able to stay here.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0454.jpg

Now I believe that there is a big difference between the high and the low tide here.

Hello Mum,

In the evening I walked through Truro.

There is a Truro Tree Sculpture Project. The Truro Tree Committee has endeavored to make the most of an unfortunate situation, the loss of many of the Town's stately elm trees to Dutch elm disease.
They decided to make nice sculptures from the poor dead trees.

I loved the first stature – a lumberjack.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0467.jpg

This was the town hall.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0470.jpg

Here you can see the first mayor of the town.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0473.jpg

A woman with a girl.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0478.jpg

And the last one was this funny man next to the beautiful carriage.

Hello Mum,

We visited Grand-Pré. Grand-Pré National Historic Site is a park set aside to commemorate the Grand-Pré area of Nova Scotia as a centre of Acadian settlement from 1682 to 1755, and the British deportation of the Acadians that happened during the French and Indian War.

This ist he Statue of Evangeline and the Memorial Church.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0503.jpg

They showed what happened in the Past.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0507.jpg

But I loved this beautiful window more.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0511.jpg

There were nice flowers in front of the church.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0513.jpg

Then we went to Black Smith Shop.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0519.jpg

They used this for transport in that time, now we had a nice place to sit on.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0522.jpg

This was the old well.

The same day we travelled back in time and went to Port-Royal.

The Habitation at Port-Royal was established by France in 1605 and was that nation's first successful settlement in North America. Port-Royal served as the capital of Acadia until its destruction by British military forces in 1613
 
http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0528.jpg

There was a well and many wooden houses.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0532.jpg

I went into the kitchen.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0538.jpg

And they ate in the Common Room.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0542.jpg

The beds didn’t look very comfortable.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0543.jpg

But I had a great view from this room.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0547.jpg

This storeroom was called Sail Loft, because ship supplies were stored here.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0549.jpg

At the end we had fun playing on the Palisade.

Hello Mum,

I explored Digby. They have high and low tides here, too. Now it was low tide.
 
http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0571.jpg

You can see that we are near the Sea here.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0576.jpg

There was a festival with music.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0579.jpg

I saw a strange mermaid in a park.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0583.jpg

But I liked this clock more – it showed the time of high tide.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0589.jpg

This is the town hall.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0591.jpg

Can you remember the first photo? Not it was high tide – and the ships were much higher at the pier.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0596.jpg

Then I played in the garden of our hotel. I had fun with the frogs!

It was really beautiful – just like a rain forest.

The Mersey River was really nice.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0615.jpg

Then we reached the goal of our walk – the Mills Falls. It wasn’t high, but I liked it.

There were colourful houses in the streets.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0657.jpg

And I saw ships in the harbour.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0661.jpg

This was a nice monument for the fishermen who died.

I liked the fountain – but I didn’t like the gun of the man on the top.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Kanada-0742.jpg

There was a guard in front of the Gate.

It was an interesting museum. The fort was sooo big.

There was a lot of place between the walls.

Hello Mum,

Sorry for the long time without the updates, but you know the reason. And luckily I was allowed to go on another trip with Dicker Kumpel - so you can see some more updates from other countries.  B)

We will go on a River-Cruise, but first we went to Cologne – and you see the Cathedral of Cologne behind me.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0004.jpg

Next to it I saw this nice fountain.

We went inside – it was great.

This Altar was beautiful.

Hello from Amsterdam, there is a lot of water here – and many big buildings. AND a lot of bicycles, but you cannot see it on my photos.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0080.jpg

We arrived at a big place – I think that the building behind me had a relation to the Royal Family, but I am not sure about it.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0084.jpg

Next to it I saw a nice church.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0088.jpg

This building looked like a castle, but it was a shopping centre.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0091.jpg

Then we crossed on of the famous town canals.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0093.jpg

The Netherlands are well-known for their cheese.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0095.jpg

Many people live on boats in this city.

And white bridges like this one are typical for the Netherlands.

Back in our cabin, we met this funny guy.

Hello Mum,

In the afternoon we went to Zaanse Schans – a place with many wind mills.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0106.jpg

We went into one of it and learnt a lot.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0110.jpg

This mill was so beautiful!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0113.jpg

This one, too. I cannot decide which one was better.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0115.jpg

Then I saw other typical houses for this region.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0118.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0123.jpg

These wooden shoes belong to the Netherlands, too.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0120.jpg

A last view to the mills…

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0124.jpg

…then I crossed this bridge and went to the bus.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0129.jpg

Our next city was Edam – well-known for its cheese.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0131.jpg

There were many beautiful houses – not as big as in Amsterdam.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0134.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0136.jpg

An alley full of nice houses.

Hello Mum,

Funny white people are living on our ship – and some of them come and visit us- maybe they are ghosts? This time it was an elephant.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0224.jpg

Today we spent some day on the water – this was interesting!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0231.jpg

We saw some big ships!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0233.jpg

But we could see nature…

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0237.jpg

…and small towns.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0242.jpg

The weather wasn’t as bad as it looked like on this photo.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0251.jpg

We arrived in Rotterdam and took a sightseeing-tour on our ship.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0257.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0260.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0265.jpg

There were high buildings and tall bridges.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0269.jpg

Hello Mum,

This afternoon we visited two big cities.  We saw a lot from Den Haag – but out of the bus. Fortunately we stopped next to the Peace Palace.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0284.jpg

Near to it I saw this flame.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0282.jpg

We had fun on these funny benches.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0286.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0287.jpg

Then we continued our trip to Delft. Delft is well-known for its ceramic. We went into a factory.
In this cupboard we saw nice dishes.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0289.jpg

I liked this picture.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0293.jpg

But the best was the funny car!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0295.jpg

Then we went into the old city. Look, it was so sunny!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0298.jpg

The church was very tall.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0302.jpg

And I liked the city hall.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0305.jpg

The place was great!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0308.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0314.jpg

Surely there were water and bridges!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0310.jpg

Sadly you cannot see on this photo, how inclined this tower was. But it was!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0317.jpg

We saw many emblems on this house.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0319.jpg


Delft and Den Haag were two beautiful cities!

Many greetings from Antwerpen. I found a nice fortress here, near to our ship.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0372.jpg

I didn’t understand this monument, but it doesn’t matter.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0373.jpg

This big building behind me was the newest museum in the city.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0377.jpg

But I don’t like museums too much – so I looked at the beautiful boats.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0380.jpg

We liked this funny guy!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0382.jpg

In the afternoon we took another walk – and went into a museum for a short time.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0383.jpg

Then we went to the Liebfrauen-Church. We saw it from far away.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0387.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0390.jpg

But before we went into it, I wanted to have a photo with this nice hotel.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0393.jpg

Then I went into the church – and I loved it!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0397.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0400.jpg

The pictures of Rubens are famous!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0402.jpg

We went outside – the city was very crowded.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0406.jpg

Surely we went to the big place with the city hall.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0408.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0412.jpg

But the other buildings were beautiful, too.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0413.jpg

Look – the fortress from the morning – it looked nice from far away, too.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0418.jpg


Guess, what kind of building was behind me? Right, the railway station of Antwerpen. It should be one of the most beautiful stations in the world. We will see.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0420.jpg

Well – it was impressive.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Alina-0423.jpg

Oh – it was late – time to go back to the ship. It is important to eat a lot on a cruise!

Hello Mum,

We went into the Zoo of Hamburg today – and look, there was a small elephant.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0004.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0008.jpg

Well, the maras were much smaller.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0011.jpg

There was a part in the Zoo that looked a little Asian. The dragon was funny – water came out of its nose.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0019.jpg

These guys had delicious food – and wonderful buildings.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0021.jpg

I never went so close to a big bear!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0030.jpg

Many years ago this was the Main Gate of the Zoo, but then the Zoo grew and now it is inside of it.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0035.jpg

This was the founder of the Zoo – and look, he had a lion!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0038.jpg

The polar bear was very tired.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0046.jpg

Then we went to the best place of the Zoo.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0048.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0054.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0058.jpg

I talked with the friendly guys and thought about swimming with them.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0059.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0062.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0065.jpg

Look, auntie Robbie was here, too.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0066.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0067.jpg

It was a wonderful time!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0069.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0070.jpg

Look, funny Pinguins.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0072.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0075.jpg

These building very nice – maybe they were from Iceland?

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0081.jpg

We met some relatives of Dicker Kumpel.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0089.jpg

The lions were lazy.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0091.jpg

Time for Zebras.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0098.jpg

Back in the quiet part of the Zoo.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0107.jpg

Hello Mum,

The weather was nice, so I went into the city of Hamburg. Behind me you can see the Alster.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0119.jpg

I liked this view - the big white building is an expensive hotel.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0123.jpg

These are the Alsterarkaden…

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0132.jpg

And when I turned right I saw the town hall.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0133.jpg

The swans are famous for the Alster.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Sept%20-0140.jpg

I had a closer look at the town hall.

We had yummy food.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt%20-0014.jpg

I had a Coke…

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt%20-0020.jpg

…and spaghetti – of course I chose the blue ones.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt%20-0028.jpg

Hello Mum.

It was time for a nice garden – or park. We went to the Jersbeker Park.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt-0102.jpg

This house belonged to the garden – but it was outside of it – strange.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt-0105.jpg

This was the rondel in front of the park.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt-0111.jpg

What a nice and beautiful entrance!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt-0118.jpg

These trees are called the 12 Apostles.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt-0124.jpg

It was nice to stand between the trees and look into the sky!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt-0125.jpg

It seems to me that autumn is coming.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt-0132.jpg

This alley was beautiful!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt-0139.jpg

And I liked this view, too.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt-0142.jpg

In the Past there was a big vase in the middle of the pond - but it was lost – and now there is this nice obelisk.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt-0149.jpg

This place was not so funny – two people have their graves here.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt-0155.jpg

This house is beautiful – they used it for cooling many years ago.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt-0158.jpg

On our way home we found something interesting.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt-0163.jpg

Look, what a wonderful painting!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt-0162.jpg

And this is the emblem of Sülfeld!

Hello Mum,

It was time for me to continue my trip, but before I jumped into my envelope I played in Dicker Kumpel’s cellar. Maybe horses lived here in the past?

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt-0607.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt-0608.jpg

I played this horn - it was so loud!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt-0604.jpg

Then I called Sue to let her know that I am on the way to Australia now!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Okt-0605.jpg

It was time to say good-bye to Dicker Kumpel, we had a nice time together.

Today Rike found an envelope in her post-box. And it was me!

No idea, why I am back home, but I climbed out of the envelope and talked with Dicker Kumpel and Kleine Fee.

Hi Mum,

Hi Mum,

We have been to Cambodia for a holiday, it was very hot and humid, but we got to see some wonderful temples here.
