Vienna, Austria - 6th September 2012
By: Grinsekatze
Hi!
I`m Carolin.
I also like to go shopping. I like bags and shoes.
I also like water: waterfalls, the sea, fountains and so on.
I like the nature and to climb on trees.
I also like to eat. I think there is nothing that I didn`t want to taste.
Most I like sweets, pancakes and cakes.
I love seeing historical sights.
And before I forget: I want to see as many hospitals as possible - inside and outside. I should do this because my mum is a nurse and I want to make her happy with this photos.
So that`s all for the first. Have fun Carolin

Zoo Schönbrunn - Vienna, Austria - 9th September 2012
By: Grinsekatze
Today I visit with my mum Grinsekatze and many friends: Daisy Orange + Kara + Kathy + Melek + Pingi +Taja the world oldes Zoo in Schönbrunn.
Here you can read about it:
The World´s Oldest Zoo
Part of the imperial summer residence of Schönbrunn, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the world's oldest zoo is indeed an unforgettable experience, and one that no visitor to Vienna should miss. Along with the historic complexes of the former "menagerie" of Emperor Francis Stephen of Lorraine, visitors discover what is perhaps the world's most beautiful zoo in a unique setting where culture and nature blend. More than 500 animal species, some of them threatened, have found a home here and a chance for survival as a species.
From A as in anteater to Z as in zebra: A visit to the Schönbrunn Zoo is a tour through every continent in the fascinating world of animals. See giant pandas, Siberian tigers, orangutans, and elephants, or immerse yourself in the Amazon and experience the tropical rain forest. A visit to the zoo offers young and old alike an enjoyable vacation in an incomparable setting and interesting insights into our nature and species conservation work.
Modern zoos such as the Schönbrunn Zoo have become educational centers; they are showcases for teaching and research, and valuable partners for many nature and species conservation projects. Not only are the knowledge and experience of zoologists, veterinarians, and keepers available for such projects, but so are the threatened animal species that have been carefully bred in the scope of the international zoo network. With your admission fee, and more especially through your interest in the animals and the work of the zoo, you are supporting our efforts in nature and species conservation!

And here the photos:
We were at the Giant Pandas but they had played hide and seek and so we couldn`t see them.
But we were lucky. The artist Gottfried Kumpf has made a Giant Panda and so we could climb on it.
Have a look!

Einsiedeln, Switzerland - 30th September 2012
By: Jasper
Hi mum,
Today we went to Einsiedeln. Einsiedeln is a small town in the canton of Schwyz, and known for its baroque church and the Black Madonna.
It is also a place of pilgrimage on the Camino. Unfortunately, the photograph is not allowed in the monastery church. Host mum is looking online for a picture, the church is really beautiful,
you could not tell by the weather, it was foggy, wet and cold. With hot chestnuts, we warmed up a bit.
Then we visited the ski jump.
It is a plastic covered jump and is used for summer training.
Even the students of the high school sports train here.
At home host mum has made a special dinner - Raclette.
Melted cheese with potatoes, cucumbers, onions, sweet and sour homemade pumpkin and more.
It tasted wonderful.
Bye mum
Carolin

Lichtensteig, Switzerland - 1st October 2012
By: Jasper
Hello mum
This morning we found a well-known envelope on the table. With an address on it. Curious, we tried to figure out where things are headed, and above all who is going to travel.
Fiete is the lucky one, he can travel to Finland. At first we were all a bit sad Fiete is leaving us, but we were happy for him too. Hemming had to distract him at the computer,
while we have baked a farewell cake.
Fiete enjoyed immensely.
Then he was allowed to fill his belly with fruit. You never know how long the journey lasts. Then he packed up his cap, in Finland it can be very cold, a few sweets and a card of host mum.
We gave him a big group hug
and he slipped into his envelope.
We will miss him. Bye, bye Fiete, bon voyage, and
bye, bye mum
Carolin

host mum's home, Switzerland - 4th October 2012
By: Jasper
Hi mum,
We have a new family member. Miss Kitty, she is host mum's first amigurumi.
Host mum had never heard of it until she read it in the forum. The images she liked them so much that she had to try it. Isn't Miss Kitty cute?
Bye for today
Carolin
