Essen, Germany - 24th September 2008

By: BlackCat

Hello Everybody,

my name is Cloudy and I am a little icebear. My mum BlackCat decided to send me just to Newbies of this site, to make them comfortable with the site and to give them the chance to make themselves good hosts. I hope I will help lots of Newbies here and travel around the world.

I will add some photos of myself later.

Have a nice day,
Cloudy

Essen-Huttrop, Germany - 25th September 2008

By: BlackCat

Hello everybody,

here are the first pics of me.

http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii123/oceania87/TV/2409/240908_12.jpg
That's the look on the highway which is called "A 40" in Essen. It is a highway which is going through the Ruhr area. There is always a lot of traffic and at the rush hours there is always a traffic jam.

http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii123/oceania87/TV/2409/240908_17.jpg
That is me in front of the water tower in Huttrop. It was half rebuilt after the second world war and now there is the "Tafel" - a social activity, where people without money can get food really cheap.

So, that was all in Essen-Huttrop - we went to Steele after that and I will show you the photos of it in the next Update.

Essen-Steele, Germany - 25th September 2008

By: BlackCat

Hello again,

after Huttrop we went to Steele :)!
Steele is a part of Essen which was an own town for a long time. It became a part of Essen in 1929.

http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii123/oceania87/TV/2409/240908_40.jpg
That's me with the emblem of Steele.

http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii123/oceania87/TV/2409/240908_63.jpg
An old house in Steele. I have read something about it, but I can't find the informations about it :(! Sorry.

A painting at a toy shop. Isn't it nice?

So, that was our day in Steele.

Kellinghusen, Germany - 30th September 2008

By: babyamy

Hey mum,

I just want to tell you that I'm fine. Today I arrived at Katrin's house and we shot a small pic for you. Now we are going to town because Katrin has a date with a doctor, maybe afterwards we can take some photos from the town...

http://lh5.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOJHoPoCvDI/AAAAAAAAAEk/cZsBB6U_Gho/103_0699%

Well, we didn't take any photos, it was raining the whole time, so we decided to go home and go to bed early.

Museum der Arbeit, Hamburg, Deutschland - 1st October 2008

By: babyamy

Today was a very long and exciting day. Katrin and I took the 7.55 a.m. train to Hamburg were she is working.
Here we are at the train station.

http://lh6.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOPGUyWXrtI/AAAAAAAAAEs/r36HOoRyldg/103_0700.JPG

During the ride on the train she told me that she is studying Information and Library Sciences and this term is her practical term. Usually she is working in the library of the "Museum der Arbeit" in Hamburg but for this week she is working with a group which prepares the next special exhibition. The topic is the company "Tempo" which has produced special cars. The time was running very fast and here we are at Hamburg. We opened the window and took a photo in front of the "Jungerfernstieg" with a view over the river Alster. The second photo showes one of the museums of art, which is next to the train station.

http://lh3.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOPGVOJjA9I/AAAAAAAAAE0/I0U4_rx4Jw4/103_0702.JPG
http://lh3.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOPGVETXuRI/AAAAAAAAAE8/9yYhKQYVmWo/103_0705.JPG

We're at Hamburg Central Station, see all the people leaving the train and go to work or school or university. Katrin told me, that it's the same view every morning!

http://lh6.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOPGVIwmClI/AAAAAAAAAFE/LWCj3IKThrc/103_0706.JPG

The train has been a bit late, we had to run to get the "S-Bahn". Here I got a nice place to see a bit of Hamburg.

http://lh6.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOPGVaedeHI/AAAAAAAAAFM/P_uCjfT3QTc/s400/103_0708.JPG

Ten minutes later we arrived at Hamburg-Barmbek. Although we are a bit late we took a photo from the big Globetrotter building next to the station. Maybe I can go there later to get some nice things for my further travel...

http://lh4.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOPGhKw8haI/AAAAAAAAAFU/90cJvabJeUU/s400/103_0711.JPG

On the way to the museum we discovered the poster of the upcoming exhibition. Here you can see the typical Tempo car with its three wheels:

http://lh5.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOPGhN_BniI/AAAAAAAAAFc/ianbfnnz_5M/s400/103_0713.JPG

Finally we arrieved at the museum. This is the yard with some of the big objects. I wanted to see them from nearer but Katrin had to go to the daily meeting and we decided to visit them during lunch time.

http://lh3.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOPGhJdD-sI/AAAAAAAAAFk/z5gSeTVi1dA/103_0714.JPG

After the meeting, Katrin had to go on cutting papers and put objects like letters and maps and postcards on it. I made my own trip around the workshop. I had a look at the objects which are already finished and finally helped Katrin cutting the papers.

http://lh4.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOPGhQPriwI/AAAAAAAAAFs/6PmiyEtASK8/s400/103_0715.JPG

http://lh3.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOPGyluhRDI/AAAAAAAAAF8/kL70aMrj3gQ/103_0718.JPG

Lunch time! We are visiting TRUDE the drill, which was used to build the tunnel under the river Elbe. It's so huge when you are standing in front of it!
http://lh4.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOPGy8FZc4I/AAAAAAAAAGE/unZjPKER93E/s400/103_0719.JPG
http://lh4.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOPGy0IBv4I/AAAAAAAAAGM/KoCDV6npkYU/103_0723.JPG

Unfortunately it started to rain so we hurried to go inside. Katrin needed a cup of coffee to warm herself and I enjoyed the warmth, too. Seems like I experienced the typical Hamburg weather: grey sky and rain.
http://lh3.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOPGzI3DcXI/AAAAAAAAAGU/QXe3Oz_IChQ/103_0724.JPG

The last hours we spent in the exhibition hall to see how the things are going on there. We had a first look at the objects which are already there and I spend  the whole time climbing from one object to the next one.

http://lh4.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOPG-JU4DDI/AAAAAAAAAG0/OUPgWQiJiQ4/103_0729.JPG

Some time later we were leaving and on the ride home Katrin and I were reading.

http://lh3.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOPG-C7f1MI/AAAAAAAAAG8/AFc7OOBz6F8/s400/103_0730.JPG

Now I'm very tired and I'm happy that Katrin told me that I'll spend the day home tomorrow.

Kellinghusen, Germany - 2nd October 2008

By: babyamy

Today was a lazy day. Katrin went to Hamburg alone and I slept nearly the whole day. Yesterday was too much trouble for a little ice bear like me. But now Katrin is back home and she told me that we are going to visit her boyfriend in Schwerin tomorrow. We'll spend there the whole weekend, so we packed a huge suitcase for both of us. Luckily I'll travel in the small bag.  ;)

Hamburg / Schwerin, Germany - 3rd October 2008

By: babyamy

Hamburg, Central Station: Katrin and I are on our way to Schwerin. Yes, we are going to travel by train again and, as always, the train is delayed. Now we have more than 30 minutes to discover the station.

http://lh4.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOZL8cN4tKI/AAAAAAAAAHw/8-3wm2QODDY/s400/103_0734.JPG

When I was sitting on this funny guy, a homeless man came to me asked me if I'm going to bite him. I was a bit scared and hurried to crawl back into to safe bag.

http://lh5.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOZL8yWPTHI/AAAAAAAAAH4/AaI-3gaTG8s/s320/103_0736.JPG

There was a store with many toys. I felt a bit sorry for them because they had to sit there and can't see so many exciting things as I can. ;)

http://lh4.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOZL9LbFVDI/AAAAAAAAAII/y4zIPefduiE/s320/103_0740.JPG

Finally we wanted to go to the train but we had to find the right track first, because it changed two times before the train arrived.

http://lh5.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOZL8_Yj5uI/AAAAAAAAAIA/F-r9azCcEp8/s400/103_0739.JPG

Now we are on the way to Schwerin. Katrin sat me on her book on the table and let me have a look out of the window. The first ten minutes were the most interesting ones because we were passing the "Speicherstadt" (you can see it on the picture) and the Hamburg Harbour. Outside the city there were just fields and I decided to sleep a bit.

http://lh3.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOZL9WVf7ZI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/vzDFSuT5rXY/s320/103_0743.JPG

In Schwerin it was raining the whole afternoon but in the evening the sun broke trough the sky and I saw a beautiful sunset.

http://lh6.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOZMGPJ_k9I/AAAAAAAAAIY/ZMpp7yLmxkQ/s320/103_0744.JPG

Later I made a tour arund the living room and ended up in this pot.  :D

http://lh3.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOZMGE0MXII/AAAAAAAAAIg/SaQBKsTy8lg/s320/103_0745.JPG

Now I'm waiting for tomorrow with hopefully better weather, because I want to see the beautiful castle and the colorful houses and the big lake Katrin talked about and the big church I saw from the window.

Schwerin, Germany - 4th October 2008

By: babyamy

Today we were visiting the Schwerin castle. It was very cloudy outside  but the sun was shining, too, at least for the time we were outside.

This was the first view of the castle:
http://lh5.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOeg8j7XysI/AAAAAAAAAJA/bZyXXPY7g7g/s400/103_0779.JPG

The way to the castle took us about ten minutes and Katrin and her boyfriend showed me a small harbour were I met this nice swan.
http://lh3.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOeg8g8d0NI/AAAAAAAAAJI/A_-9GGo__4w/s400/103_0747.JPG

There also was a playground, but it was too windy to take some fun photos and I wanted to see the castle!
http://lh3.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOeg8110KbI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/edRBeBRJSpw/s400/103_0748.JPG

Here I am. The castle is build on an island. In the castle the gouvernment of the state Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is situated. But we didn't enter, we had a nice walk around it.
http://lh6.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOeg80I3NBI/AAAAAAAAAJY/lCbTnT1BLq8/s400/103_0750.JPG
http://lh6.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOeg85I_vnI/AAAAAAAAAJg/hWr8a4jGGL8/s320/103_0751.JPG

This is the view from the island back to the city. On the left is the theater, on the right the museum.
http://lh3.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOehRi01h0I/AAAAAAAAAJo/ofpPFqehKOU/s400/103_0754.JPG

In the "love grotto" I discouvered an empty nest from which I had a nice view over the Schweriner lake.
http://lh3.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOehRrIBkxI/AAAAAAAAAJw/OEqEY2ZiMT8/s400/103_0756.JPG

This is the back of the castle, actually I was on the Swan Island and a lot of ducks were running around. I was scared of them because they were running so fast.
http://lh5.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOehRkwDBXI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/5cu7fkY4E4I/s320/103_0759.JPG

This is a statue of a thinker. Can you see were I have hidden myself?  ;)
http://lh4.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOehR78BAZI/AAAAAAAAAKA/FtrzYwaqGA0/s320/103_0764.JPG

This is in front of the museum. We were trying how to take the best photo but it started to rain very heavily so we decided to go back home on the fastest way.

Schwerin / Hamburg / Kellinghusen, Germany - 5th October 2008

By: babyamy

This day was more or less fine and I wanted to see more of Schwerin. This funny guy was the first one I met:
http://lh5.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOkY83PcQgI/AAAAAAAAAKQ/9T4rNWV_zs4/s400/103_0766.JPG

Here are the first colorful house I wanted to see:
http://lh3.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOkY9F-hqxI/AAAAAAAAAKY/HQS-gVu8eD0/s400/103_0767.JPG

View over the "Pfaffenteich"
http://lh4.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOkY9M_i3dI/AAAAAAAAAKg/fwVDu5RSSmM/103_0769.JPG

The cathedral of Schwerin. We couldn't take a better photo because it is so huge.
http://lh5.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOkY9N4jqDI/AAAAAAAAAKo/cjk7NR4yKTw/s400/103_0771.JPG

I met Oudry the rhinozeros. It is a symbol of Schwerin. This statue is an advertisement of the "Bundesgartenschau" (flower show) which is in Schwerin next year.
http://lh5.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOkY9aXuNbI/AAAAAAAAAKw/vjBA4hJjc28/103_0772.JPG

Another colorful house
http://lh3.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOkZN_n6lnI/AAAAAAAAAK4/QE6HvdVSov4/s400/103_0774.JPG

This is in front of a nice wine store in a small street called "Münzstraße". There a a lot of small shops and it looks very nice.
http://lh6.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOkZOXtbohI/AAAAAAAAALA/mzcyEoSdiHM/s400/103_0776.JPG
http://lh3.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOkZOSWgPDI/AAAAAAAAALI/k6qfiW3yJpA/s400/103_0777.JPG
http://lh3.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOkZOuffu1I/AAAAAAAAALQ/b0cBxKGVBU0/s400/103_0778.JPG

Our trip back home was a bit like hell. All trains were delayed because of the rain and when we arrived in Hamburg, we missed the train home because it leaves from another station. We had to go there by subway but it we passed by an interesting station called "Reeperbahn"
http://lh5.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOkZOnA1jmI/AAAAAAAAALY/p-a_ZpeGanw/s400/103_0780.JPG

I think, I've heard about this famous street of Hamburg but Katrin was in a very bad mood and she didn't want to leave the subway to take some photos outside. Her mood was like this guy:
http://lh4.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOkZX0FnwAI/AAAAAAAAALg/QmP6008z5R8/s400/103_0781.JPG

Hours later we finally arrived back home and there was a big surprise: Another TV has more or less expected arrived! This is Stutz and I took her to my slepping place to tell her everything about my weekend.
http://lh6.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOkZXxIJD0I/AAAAAAAAALw/0886aAkAU1c/s400/103_0783.JPG

Katrin's home, Germany - 7th October 2008

By: babyamy

This evening Stutz and I helped Katrin to pack some packages. She has sold some books and cassettes on Ebay and now the money has arrived on her bank account. Here Stutz is closing the first envelope and I fill the second one. The work is done much faster when we help Katrin because she is very tired after her long working day and now we are going to bed quickly.

Hamburg, Germany - 8th October 2008

By: babyamy

Katrin took me to her job. She is working a few hours every week in an office on her campus. Before we arrived there she showed me the big IBM building.
http://lh3.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOz-HcOtuII/AAAAAAAAAMo/HjdviFTqtYw/s400/103_0792.JPG

Autumn is coming. ;)
http://lh5.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOz-HRl_QiI/AAAAAAAAAMw/NKSmHXPOar8/103_0793.JPG

Katrin's desk in the office. She is very happy that she has her own room.
http://lh4.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SOz-HtzpdpI/AAAAAAAAAM4/6U2TPMg2cnM/s400/103_0794.JPG

Katrin's home, Germany - 9th October 2008

By: babyamy

Post has arrived! Since Katrin has started with postcrossing, every few days a postcard arrives. Today she was very happy, there was a postcard from Hungary and letters from her penpals.
http://lh4.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SO4mkubvjKI/AAAAAAAAANI/jt0ZFfsaMRs/103_0799.JPG

And there was another bigger letter from England. When we opened it, we could welcome another guest: it's Mousy Mouse from Taiwan!
http://lh3.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SO4mkrYigXI/AAAAAAAAANQ/TYAZ6Kl9t4U/103_0806.JPG

The sun was shining outside and Katrin showed us the neighbourhood.
http://lh6.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SO4mkzlcbxI/AAAAAAAAANY/PlSQXXGMaqw/s400/103_0811.JPG
http://lh6.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SO4mk1O4MdI/AAAAAAAAANg/WFFNNrWariQ/103_0807.JPG

http://lh4.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SO4myCT14DI/AAAAAAAAANw/Jxg_IOyIZ78/s400/103_0810.JPG

Now Stutz an Mousy Mouse are talking a lot about the places they have already visited. Since they are both from Taiwan, they enjoy to speak theier own language again. I decided to take some time for myself an start to read a good book. I chose "Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer" by Michael Ende.

still Katrin's home, Germany - 12th October 2008

By: babyamy

I wouldn't say that my weekend was boring but I finished the book much faster than I expected. I spend some time exploring Katrin's room.

This box was great. Katrin got a lot of samples of the new softener of Lenor to give them to her friends. Well, as you can see she still has a lot of them I enjoyed playing there.
http://lh3.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SPJCNpcyj9I/AAAAAAAAAPs/He2YNNIV900/s400/103_0836.JPG

Meeting Johnny Depp and rocking the candle holder
http://lh4.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SPJCNr2XDFI/AAAAAAAAAP0/Sa2v7zxyiVQ/s400/103_0837.JPG

Finally I met "The Smile". It told me that it was a lucky charm when Katrin was dancing on championships a few years ago.
http://lh6.ggpht.com/katrinwieckhorst/SPJCNtAxBXI/AAAAAAAAAP8/pF3uHVpErHA/s400/103_0838.JPG

Now Stutz and Mousy Mouse are back home and I want to hear everything about their weekend.
