Travelog for: ThomasHH

Hi

RikeH showed us two nice buildings in Sülfeld
The first one is the old school....



the second one is the church – as you already mentioned, I think.



When we came back, we played in the garden. We made a race – and I won the second place ! I am very proud !!!!

Hi ,
today is the last day for 3 of us in Sülfeld, so we watched our travel logs together. We had so much fun to see, what we have done!



Then we all decided to talk all the day and the night, before some of us leave to their new hosts. So here we are sitting in front of long hippo and talked about our adventures. From the left to the right you see us all together. We are dicker Kumpel, Kunigunde, me, Slummy, Penny, Bree and Lupus-Tigger.



I will leave tomorrow and go to rick0928 in New Zealand. We will go skiing, so I asked a skier, how to do it. He showed me, how it works – well – we will see…..





See you soon from New Zealand !

ThomasHH 

hey hey~~~
i am in New Zealand now and i met Rick this evening. it is warm and nice here so i am not afraid of its winter anymore. i am going to have a nice sleep now because i am tired ^0^. good night~~

hi~~

it is quite nice here, i can enjoy the weather and sunshine as much as i like. Rick showed me his house today and i met a captain and a sailor in his bathroom. they told me their stories on the sea but i can not totally understand them.

i will fly to Queenstown with Rick tomorrow and we are going to ski at Coronet Peak. excited~~~

I fly to Queenstown with Rick today. It is so excited to see a grand view of snow coverd mountain on the aeroplane for me and i really like the coffee on it. When we landed, I found that all nature in Queenstown smiled in the sunlight.

I went to ski yesterday. It was my first to see so many crazy people play on snowfield. I took a beginner's course and the coach discovered that i am a smart boy finally. It was so fun!!
I got up early this morning, went to look around the town. We will back to Auckland this afternoon but i like here more. Bye Queenstown~~

Help – I am lost – for weeks now. It is awful….



But – what is this? I hear a voice. Who is it? I know him – it is Dicker Kumpel.



He is standing in front of the crystal ball and is looking into it to find me.



He is getting closer to it, it is hard work….



BANG – it worked. I don’t know why, but I am back in Sülfeld. That is great !!!!



We are both very happy – what an amazing crystal ball.



But look – it wasn’t a crystal ball, but a magic hippo.



Thanks magic hippo – I am back home again!

yours ThomasHH

Hello, hello !

BineHH and I came back from nowhere with the help of Dicker Kumpel and a magic hippo. We were both lost – what a bad experience. I really hope that I never will have this experience again. I am so happy that I am back!



We talked about our trips and came to the topic of cruise ships. RikeH told us about a big ship that will be in Hamburg today. It is called Queen Mary 2. We couldn’t believe how big it is. length: 1132 feet / 345 meters, Height 236 feet 2 inches / 72 meters.  Passengers: 2620 (3090 max). We think that maybe all TVs could travel on it at the same time. That would be a party.

We decided to go to Hamburg again – and see the QM2 in reality. But first we saw a model –it is not really big…



We went to the Cruise Terminal. Wow – the QM2 is really big!!! The Astor was much smaller, when we made a cruise some months ago.









In the afternoon we went to the port again, because we wanted to see the ship, when it was in action on the river Elbe. We waited…



Then it came – it is amazing!!!











On Monday I will start my trip again. I will stay inside Germany, because I am a little afraid of get lost again. Sissi, I am coming.

Hi mommy

Today we made a trip to the Lochmühle in Eigeltingen. Eigeltingen is a small community with around 3.500 inhabitants, about 5 km away from Aach where Sissi is living.

The Lochmühle itself is a 400-years-old farm which is nowadays a theme park that is very popular, esp. for families.


Look, that's me in front of the sign that stands in front of the entry!


We saw pigs ...


... and horses.


There were many ponds, too.




All 5 of us 

A trip to Radolfzell

We went to Radolfzell these days.
Radolfzell is a town at the western end of Lake Constace. It is a well known health care city and an important railroad junction. In 1990 Radolfzell was named the Federal Environment Capital City of Germany.

Radolfzell was developed out of a monastery founded in 826 AD as a "cell" under Bishop Radolf of Verona. The town belonged to the Abbey of Reichenau, then to the house of Habsburg for a long time, and for 40 years was a Free Imperial City.


This is me at the market place. In the back you see some signs that lead to the museum, lake, park, etc.


We then went to the lake. We had to pass the railroad and took a photo with a train. Sissi told us that she went to school for 3 years here in Radolfzell and always came with train.


Then we reached the lake. There was a little girl with her parents coming, too and when she saw the lake she told “Oh!!! The sea!!!”. Actually, Lake Constance is really also named “Swabian Sea” (not officially though).


There were also many ducks and swans.



On the other side of the harbour mole is the harbour with many ships.


In the end we also made a group photo!




Bye bye!

Hi mommy!
We made a walk to the Aachquelle here in Aach!

The Aachquelle is Germany's biggest natural spring. It is producing an average of 8,500 liters per second.

The name Aachquelle or Aachtopf is compounded from Aach (meaning water in Old High German), the name of the river created by the spring. Topf can be translated as bowl and is commonly used for round, bowl-shaped springs. The Aach flows southward into Lake Constance, which empties into the Rhine.

Most of the water is derived from the Danube River and is obtained where the latter river disappears underground at the Donauversickerung (Danube Sink) near Immendingen and Fridingen. Strangely, the Danube flows eastwards into the Black Sea, whereas the Rhine flows northwards to the North Sea. Therefore the water of the Aach flows under the European continental divide. This is a relatively common feature of karst stream captures.

The Aachtopf is a favourite weekend destination and very romantic. It is not possible to see the cave because it is underwater and cave diving is extremely dangerous.


We had to walk through an old lane in Aach. It's the Mill-Lane (Muehlengasse) and there are many old houses.



Behind the Mill-Lane is the river Aach. So obviously there are also many bridges.



The signd here's showing you how many kilometers it takes to reach other towns or sightseeings. There are often people hiking or doing bycicle tours.


We also went by to many gardens with trees. Although Fall is coming the leaves are still green.


Then we met some goose!!!


Then we arrive at the Aachquelle:


Well, the water is a bit green but it's not allowed to take a bath


Relaxing on a bridge


There are also lots of trees around and the spring lies a bit into the mountains.

And this is where we are

Dear Mommy
I'm travelling home now!!!
See you soon!

Hello from Hamburg!

I am at home again – and today we went to Hamburg, because my Mum wanted to show us the Alster – a nice lake in the middle of the town. And I wanted to meet Tobi, I will go on a trip to France with him.

Here you can see a photo of me and one of the group in front of the Alster.





There were some nice geese.



Some views from the other side:





This is the town hall.



Hamburg is a very beautiful town!

Then I said good-bye to the other TVs – and will go to France now!

Greetings

Guten Tag Mum,

yesterday I had arrived in Hamburg. Today I drove to the railway-station in Hamburg-Altona where I started with Philipp and Tobias, who are friends of SunnyHH, with the car-train to a motorbike-holidays to France.



With the check-in our motorbike got a sign with our destination “Alessandria” which lays in Italy.



Here you see me on the car-train and cars which ran on the train.





I was the first one in the train compartment where I had my own seat. Some minutes later Teddy - a bear from Neumünster, Germany - entered with his parents the compartment.





After talking a while we read the newspaper and enjoyed the beautiful landscape of northern Germany …





… and we had a party.





The beer was fine but later after drinking some tins I got tired and went to bed.





Auf Wiedersehen!

ThomasHH
