Randburg , South Africa - 31st August 2008
By: Vicki
Spring has sprung in Johannesburg!
Mrs C came to fetch Gilbert and we all hid in the Brunsfelsia that is growing outside Vicki's front door. It smells beautiful! Can you see all eight of us? I am pretty well camouflaged, don't you think?
We posed for a farewell photo.

I already arrived in Germany. I thought this way would take me much longer. Hopefully we'll do something fun this weekend. It's the last of the summer and the weather is supposed to be dry and sunny.

Essen-Rüttenscheid, Germany - 20th September 2008
By: Apperveilchen
On Saturday morning people go grocery shopping in Germany. Often they prefer to buy fruit and vegetables, but also flowers and eggs on the markets. The are held in different parts of the bigger towns, because many of those grew together from smaller town and villages.
The one we visited today has stands that offer more exotic or expensive things.
Here's the French cheese stand. My host bought a lot of stuff here, but not without tasting.

Isn't this a beautiful entrance? The trees won't be this green for long now. Some are already turning yellow or red.
This is on the Dreiringplatz in Steele. The nets are there to protect the column from pidgeons.
This is the small counrthouse, also at the Dreiringplatz.

We went to a biker party. They had fireworks there. It was hard to take pictures in the dark, but I got one and I asked to pretty please put a picture of the fireworks here, even though I am not in it, I am just watching.

Messe Düsseldorf, Germany - 28th September 2008
By: Apperveilchen
Today was the first day of three different trade fairs in the 'Messe Düsseldorf. (Messe = the fair but also the building for it) They are called InterCool, InterMeat, InterMopro and hogatec. They are about gastronomy, hotels, foods, etc.
The area is so big that the shuttle bus had several stops before we came to our parking place and we'd been there early. The LTU Arena is also in that area. The soccer club Fortuna Düsseldorf plays there.
