Travelog for: Erol the Pirat

my dear mommy!
this is your day!
we have come together to celebrate YOU!


we have gone into our host's new garden. the sun was shining nearly the whole day. FOR YOU i would say.


we have invited the two gargoyle brothers from next door. they are dragons. the good thing about dragons is, that they are able to blow ON candles - birthday candles. even our new friend miggy-the-pig has come - just in case the sun would not have shone ... he is so yellow ... even a guest from japan has been with us: kikuchan.


mommy, happy birthday. enjoy your day.


mommy, we (everybody) have fun for you!


blowing out the candles together has caused some problems. we had to convince the dragons NOT to blow!

mommy we all love you! much health and luck for you.

your strong travel bear erol 

p.s.: plushy greetings to you as well, daddy! 

tiffy: "hello mommy! here we ae again!"
erol: "hi daddy! no, we haven't slept all the time. we have also updated some adventures from august. just have a scroll."


tiffy: "look mommy, where are we?"
erol: "oh daddy, look what a funny bobble cap tiffy wears!"


tiffy: "hey erol! where are you going?"


erol: "come here, tiffy, and have a look yourself."


tiffy: "aaaaaah! we have found LUCK!"
erol: "yes my dear tiffy. it's the great luck! we are the lucky ones."


tiffy: "oh erol, how smart you are."
erol: "i know, darling."

tiffy: "hello mommy! this weekend we have done a short trip to central germany."
erol: "hi daddy! there we have visited nice christmas markets."


tiffy: "first we have visited erfurt."
erol: "it's the capital city of thuringia"


tiffy: "christmas markets, that' a lot of sweets and candies."


erol: "... and hot apple cide and hot wine ..."


tiffy: "we have had a lot of fun."


erol: "next we have gone into that huge cathedral."


tiffy: "this is the inside: a huge hall with so many columns."


tiffy: "hey erol! look: someone is sleeping in that case!"
erol: "no tiffy, this is a coffin. and the man inside looks like jesus."
tiffy: "ooops - i know he is dead since long ago. strange to have him here lying in a cathedral."


erol: "next stop was schmalkalden."
tiffy: "they have written it on the gully. so you will allways know where you are."


tiffy: "look at these nice old houses."


erol: "and a christmas market, a bit smaller than in erfurt. but hey, let's have a drink."




tiffy: "christmas markets are much better with some snow."
erol: "this one is nice anyway."

tiffy: "hello mommy! today we have made something really tasty."
erol: "hi daddy! together with the boys we have baked christmas cookies."


tiffy: "before we could start baking ..."
erol: "... we had to bgo to the city to buy some ingredients."




erol: "for doing the work, you need something to drink. no no, the beer is for me, not for the cookies ..."


tiffy: "first you make the dough, starting with flavour."


erol: "dough, dough, dough ... "


tiffy: "then we have cut the dough into nice forms."


tiffy: "after baking the cookies we have painted them with chocolate and decorated them."
erol: "this looks really tasty, folks. let's have some beer with the cookies!"

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

tiffy: "hello mommy! we - me and erol the most gorgeous pirate in the world - do not want to forget to wish you a healthy new year and all the luck that you will need."
erol: "hi daddy! happy new year: cheers captain!" 


erol: "at new year's eve we have had a nice party with our new friends!"


tiffy: "and look what nice necklaces we both have won in new year game!"

tiffy: "hello mommy! it is really cold her today."
erol: "hi daddy! it is so cold, that the snow makes strange sound when you step on it. and it is like powder. so we could not built a snow bear."






tiffy: "we have wished the snow would have come at christmas. but like last year it has come some weeks later."
erol: "we should celebrate christmas at the end of january in the future. yes it would be more practicable. it would not be so noisy when father christmas slides with his sledge on the street asphalt."
tiffy: "oh erol. you crazy guy! mommy, we see you later."
erol: "heh heh heh ... yes daddy, bye bye!"

tiffy: "hello mommy! today we have made a walk. there was no sun shining, and a little rain. but, hey, we are not made of sugar!"
erol: "hi daddy! you are right tiffy. good, the snow has melted and, today we wre to meet a new guest!"


tiffy: "so we have started our walk in a nice suburb of berlin: tegel."


erol: "hey, have i told you, churches are boring? let's have a rest and drink beer as much as we can!"


tiffy: "oh erol! here: this is good for a happy day! funny, they don't have happy hours, but happy days!"


erol: "tiffy, have i drunk too much, or are these here golden lions?"
tiffy: "don't be nuts, let's go on."




tiffy: "what's this?"
erol: "looks like a cook made of tin ... strange."


erol: "look tiffy, an anchor, we must be near the lake, where we will meet our new guest, a nice girl from chile.
tiffy:" ey erol: look at me, i am a nice girl ..."


erol: "helloooo: are you from chile? vienes de chile amigo?"


swan: "no, folks, do i like coming from chile?"


tiffy: "what are people from chile look like?"
swan: "i am a swan, ask something else."


and here she comes: kirin from chile!


we were chatting for hours. she seams to be a smart girl.

next day we have continued our chat on a small garden party with some good friends of ours and a huge box of cookies! 

(from left to right: erol the pirat, kirin, tiffy, rousseau and voltaire (two very smart blue elephants and the owner of this garden), little alphonx, and hannibal (napoleon's brother))

hello daddy, sorry for not having updated for quite a while, me and tiffy me gall are feeling very well here in berlin. and: we are enjoying springtime in our host's garden:






we have even helped hanging plastik eggs into the trees for eastertime.







everytime the weather is fine we are having some cake and coffee.

the other day he went buying some chocolate.




than we carried it home into the garden.



and ... well what would you do with chocolate?


of course we had some rides with the shopping trolley on the lawn.





the day ended with a lttle bit of cake.


some days later we discovered a hidden area of this big city.








what about some beer?




dinnertime!

the good thing about springtime is the blooming of the trees.
