Hello Mum,

The weather is awful most of the time at the moment – so we had to find something nice inside the house. We went to play billiards. Dicker Kumpel explained us the rules.





Then it was my time!



It was really funny!



And I won 5:3!



Then I explored the room. I think that a horse lived here in the past.





I tried to call you – but I forgot your number!



And this was a great place, too.



Hopefully the weather will be nicer soon.

Love
Viola

Hello Mum,

It was time to complete one of my life missions. We started our trip to Hamburg.



I found the right way.



The metro came – it is funny – in some parts of Hamburg the metro doesn’t drive underground.





I found a great place next to the window.





Then we arrived at the theatre. Mum, do you know this special theatre?



This is one of the most famous actress who ever played here.



Her name is Heidi Kabel.



Then we went into the theatre.



This photo looks strange – we didn’t know why this happened



I read about the play before it started.



Do you understand this sign?



It was a wonderful afternoon in the theatre.

Hello Mum,   

The winter came to Sülfeld, so we had to take photos with some snow.

Let’s start with this archaeological monument.





Some children wanted to use their sleighs behind me, but I think there was not enough snow.



Well – no sunshine on my stone, but I loved the light on the old school.



And the emblem of Sülfeld is beautiful, too.



My last stop was next to the church. A wonderful photo with a little snow and the sunshine.



I love the wintertime!

Yours
Viola

Hello Mum,

Today we had great weather, so we explored the surroundings of Sülfeld.

What a wonderful sky with beautiful clouds!





But to tell the truth – it was really cold!



What a long way – maybe I should have stayed at home?



Fortunately we found a sunny place for a rest.





I loved this place – with a far view. Well, of course there are not really big hills here in Northern Germany.



And the small river here was nice, too.





The last photo shows me and Dicker Kumpel’s famous tree. Nice!



What a wonderful walk!

Hello Mum,

Today I went to Hamburg – this lake is called Alster.





Behind me you can see the town hall.



And this is another nice view over the Alsterarkaden.



Look – what a beautiful postbox.



Here you can see the town hall again – a beautiful building.

Hello Mum,

We went to the port of Hamburg today. I had a nice view from a place called Landungsbrücken.





What a nice tower.



On the other side of the Elbe River there are two musical halls – the left one is really new.



Behind me you can see the sailing ship Rickmer Rickmers.



Then we had a great idea – we jumped onto a small ferry to the building Elbphilharmonie. I had a nice view over the Elbe River.



Hamburg’s port is really beautiful.



We came near to the both musical halls.



Me in front of the skyline of the port.



This is the Elbphilharmonie – a very expensive building.



I looked to another part of the port – the cruise terminal – but there is no cruise ship today.

   

And here is the part where they load and unload big ships.



It was a nice trip for us TVs, RikeH had a hard time, because it was really cold – and her fingers got so cold!

Hello Mum,

Many greetings from the Cruise Ship AIDA Sol. We celebrated the start of our trip with delicious Champagne.



Our first stop was Barcelona. Here you see the column of Columbus.



We stopped in the Gothic Part of the city – and saw the beautiful cathedral.



There was a little garden next to the cathedral and I loved the beautiful palm tree.



This is the placa del Rei.



We continued our trip on a bus. It was sunny – but we had a cold wind on the upper deck.



Our next stop was the big church Sagrada Familia. They still build it – it is a great building – we didn’t go into it, because there was a long waiting time to enter.



Here you see me in the wonderful Park Güell. It was constructed by the artist Gaudi, who planned the Sagrada Familia, too.



There were nice monuments with animals.



The most famous one is this dragon.



There is a long bench – we sat on it and enjoyed the sunshine.



No idea, why Gaudi constructed this funny way, but we liked it.



It was a great day in Barcelona.

Hello Mum,

We started our day on our balcony.





It was enough place for all of us and we talked a lot.



This is the view to the front of the ship – yes we are living in the front of the ship – just over the bridge.



There you can see the front of the ship.





On a cruise ship you spend a lot of time with eating – so it was time for some sports. We have a Power Plate in our cabin. First RikeH explained us how it works.



Then it started to shake…



…and we had to train our arms.



After that it was time to relax in the living-room.



This is the place where I write my updates.



And here I am sleeping – in the morning I can see the sea out of my bed – this is great!

Hello Mum,

Today I was in Cadiz. This is the Plaza de Espana with a wonderful monument.



We walked around the city and had nice views over the sea and the promenade.



There was a very tall tree in one of the parks.



Cadiz has so many beautiful churches, this is one of it.



Another nice part of the promenade.



We went through the beautiful Parque Genoves.


Look, the gran teatro.



There were funny faces on the container for old bottles.



Another nice church.



And this is the new Cathedral of Cadiz.



My last stop was on the Plaza de San Juan de Dios.



I had a very relaxing day in Cadiz.

Hello Mum,

Yesterday we went to Lissabon. It was noon when we saw the city.



I saw the tower of Belem and the famous monument.



There was a big bridge over the Rio Tejo.



Today was an exciting day – we had a TV-meeting.



It was great to sit together and talk!



Poschti came on the Cruise with us so we had a welcome party this evening.



We had chocolate and fruits.



And I had my own bottle of Coke.



Then we all took one piece of fruit and one piece of chocolate.





It was a nice party, but then we were tired and went into our TV-bed.





Good night, Mum!

Hello Mum,

After a bumpy trip from Lissabon we arrived in La Coruna.  Because of the stormy weather we will stay two days here. Today we took a walk. Behind me you can see the harbor.



There were many small fisherboats.



From this point we had a good view of our Cruise Ship – it is really tall, isn’t it?



There was a fortress – nowadays it is a museum.



We saw big waves – maybe it is a good idea to stay a little longer in this town?



Believe it or not – only some steps from the water I found this sunny place with the beautiful flowers.



These houses with the balconies with glass in front of it are typical for La Coruna.



This is the town hall – really nice.   



Back on the ship I stood on the balcony – can you see the fortress behind me – there we went.



And I want to show you this – every evening we got these chocolates – a Cruise is wonderful.



Yours
Viola

Hello Mum,

I told you about the bumpy trip to la Coruna. We took some photos of it, but I forgot to update it.

So here can you see me and my friends looking out of the window. Here you can see nothing from the rough sea…





But now you can see more – the waves!







I went onto the balcony and saw the waves on the side of the ship.



Today the weather was much nicer!



Later I went onto the pool-deck.





There was a big screen on the deck!



Here you can see the name of the cruise line.

Viola

Hello Mum,

Today was our last day on the AIDA Sol. I walked over the sun deck again – very sunny!



This is the theatre inside the ship.



This is one of many bars on the ship.



Hopefully the weather will be nice tomorrow, because we want to have nice views when we arrive in Hamburg.

Love
Viola

Hello Mum,

Great news Mum, we had lovely weather when we arrived in Hamburg. It was so great to arrive in the port on the Elbe River. Will I see a nice sunrise?



Yes, there it was!



Far behind me you see a big bridge.



Hamburg is a really beautiful city!



There were two theaters for musicals – the left one is not open yet.



We spent our last hours on the ship relaxing on our balcony.







It was a really wonderful cruise. We should do one together soon, Mum.

Love
Viola

Hello Mum,

Back in Germany we had lovely weather, so today it was time for a walk.



The nature starts now – because it is springtime.





It was nice to sit in the sunshine with my friends.





Soon there will be some swans on the lake.



We came along another beautiful small lake.



This is Dicker Kumpel’s famous tree. We all have to take photos with it every time we see it.



Back home we saw the German flag.



This stone stood in front of Dicker Kumpel’s house.



Look, the first flowers arrived!
