Travelog for: Erol the Pirat

so,
now i be ready for my big trip.
I sharpened my sword and fly my flag.
where are the adventures?

I am so jumpy 

Last day at home!
We still have a party at Takata and tomorrow I will start my trip around the world. I will travel together with LittleLuzi to his owner near Stuttgart.
I am very excited. What will I experience? 

Surely I will tell my host some cock-and-bull-stories 

Byebye, Takata and Yosemite

I will write, when I arrive!

hey dad!

yesterday it was the birthday of my hosts dad!
we had some cake and sparkling wine!

today we are just relaxing because of the storm outside!

your Erol

Hey Dad!
a few days ago, my host family went to Pforzheim to get a christmas tree together with Sooky, but unfortunately they didn't find a nice one.. so I decided to manage this problem 

we went to the "christbaumland"




I took a closer look to some of the trees..



with my help, it of course only took us a few minutes to find the right tree 



puuhh.. work is done



in our christmas mood, we decided to have some hot Glühwein! LittleLuzi borrowed me his christmas hat, but it doesn't fit me so well, because it is specially made for him 







and Dad, at least I'd like to introduce my new friends!
upper row (v.l.n.r) Erol the Pirat, the little ghost Helena, LittleLuzi, the vampire bat Fritz, the angel Lucy, the vampire Frederick, another strange guy called Franz-Ferdinand (looks scary but isn't  )
lower row (v.l.n.r) king of the jungle Luigi, monkey lady Lilli, the penguin Lukas from the south pole, Sooky, from jamaica: rasta Ziggy, king Lui (boss)



that's it for today!

your Erol

Hey Dad!

it's the "4. Advent" today! i'm so excited, next saturday will be christmas!



we had some Christstollen, made by my hosts grandma!



then I helped my host to do her "Analysis Spider" for geography in school! looks complicated, and it is! but as a pirat, geometry is no problem for me!





finished!



your Erol

Hey Dad!

Hey Dad!

your Erol

Hey Dad!

your Erol

Hey Dad! amaaaaaazing morning today!

at first, i could open up the advent calendar:





there were Lakritz Schnecken in it! my host said that it is for me, so i'm taking it home! 



but theeeeeeeeen, Dad, the most important thing of the day happened! I saw that there was post from you!



we turned it around.. it is a present for me! thanks a lot 



I wanted to open it, but my host held me back  she told me that I have to wait for tomorrow, because then it's christmas!



then we went to the christmas tree to put my present under it





now I'm waiting for tomorrow to come, I'm so excited! I hope the time will pass fast!
but my host said also that I can open up the present tomorrow afternoon, because this is tradition in her family. In the morning, we will decorate the christmas tree together! Sooky will help, too!



Hugs,

your Erol

Hey Dad!

After this amazing morning, we had an amazing afternoon!
we went to Pforzheim to the "Enzauenpark"





we went to a playground









this is the river "Enz", that's why the park is called Enzauenpark





we walked over a bridge..





then, we saw some ruins





we decided to climb them up





we saw a sign with the cities around



a waterplayground







we learned something about the river Enz



and then Dad, the beeeeeest thing happened! we saw a pirate ship!! I am sooooo happy! unfortunately it stranded 



can you see me in the little hole? 







the pirate ship is called "red bird" I'll call it "red Erol" 









then i decided to climb up my pirate ship 





I went to the steering wheel







the flag must be replaced too! right now it's the emblem of Pforzheim, but it must be a photo of me



I looked through the spy-glass







this was so exciting, Dad! I didn't want to leave the pirate ship, but we had too..
we went to a café and had delicious cake and a hot chocolate!



that's it for today, tomorrow will be christmas, I'm so excited! I'm always looking at my present under the christmas tree, thank you again

your Erol

Daaaad! We wish you a merry christmas we wish you a merry christmas we wish you a merry christmaaaaaaaaas!

we just decorated the christmas tree and imagine, I found a treasure!





it's a russian treasure







then we started decorating













the man in the moon 



oops 





finished! 



there are two presents for me under the christmas tree! one from you, and one from my host can't wait to open them





now we'll take a rest and then we will have gift giving (bescherung )

your Erol
