Hey,

right after we said Goodbye to Marty, a new Toy arrived here. His name is Ceryni and he said he comes from Hamburg, which is not soooo far away.


First he was a little shy to come out of the envelope.


But then it was okay and we made a group photo.

Love,
Herlinde

Hey mummy,

today BlackCat showed us the castle ruin Altendorf.


From the street, we already saw that.


That's how the ruin could have looked in 1200.









I really like the ruin. What do you think?

Love,
Herlinde

Today we went food shopping and from the parking deck we had an amazing view to the coal mine Holland.

Hello everyone,

today we made a walk through Haltern (am See). Why do I write (am See)? It is because it was just added for tourists. The city is still called Haltern everywhere, but the signs say Haltern am See and such. It is just for tourists. Funny, or? Changing a city name for tourists...

We had a nice time in the old town of Haltern. But see yourself, we made some photos.











It is a nice town and I hope we'll go back there one day.

Love,
Herlinde

Hello everyone,

today BlackCat visited a pen pal who is living not so far away from her home. We went with her and had a lot of fun in Viersen. You will see on the pictures.







Viersen isn't really a big town, but a nice one. Hope you like the photos.

Love,
Herlinde

Hello,

today we made a walk through the fields of Essen-Kupferdreh. It was a really long walk, but we really enjoyed it.


















Can you see the lake in the middle? It is far away. It is the Lake Baldeney. And the black points on the field in front of us are cows...but they were too far away for a better photo with me.

Love,
Herlinde

Hello mum,

when you read this I am already on my way home to you. So excited to see you again.

Love,
Herlinde

Hi there,
I came home in September after having a fantastic time in Essen with BlackCat. This weekend we are having wonderful weather, so I went out for a walk with my Mummy and Scotty.

First we walked to the district Hasten, one of the oldest districts of the municipal area.





You can find really lovely houses here.



The next shot was an extremely dangerous one



The German Tool Musuem (Deutsches Werkzeugmuseum) is situated in Remscheid. Even in their outdoor facility you can find some machines and tools.









You can also find a wonderful Patrician Villa here, built in late 18th century, also containing a museum.







Like you can see, this district is surrounded by woodland. In the background you can see suburbs of the neighbour city Wuppertal.



We walked downhill towards Morsbach Valley (Morsbachtal).



There is a farm situated in the valley. They have horsers, dogs, sheep and geese in the yard.



Mummy, told me that those cryptic signs were route markings for hiking trails. Ehe encircled "R" means "Roentgenweg", a hiking trail following the borders of the municipal area of Remscheid, about 65 km long. The encircled "W" means "Rund um Wuppertal", this hiking trail is even more than 120 km long. The other markings belong to shorter trails, about 10 km long.



We reached a small hamlet than, I especially liked this tiny house. Mummy told me that it had been restored in the last years to prevent it from decaying.



Can you spot the tiny house on this historical photo?





We found a funny mirror





When we walked along allotment gardens I found those purple berries.



Bye

Hello everyone,
today I visited one of my favourite places of my home region: Schloss Burg in Solingen.

Schloss Burg is a medieval castle, situated high above the river Wupper. It was built in 1133 by Count Adolf I von Berg on a hill above the river Wupper. bout a hundred years later it was enlarged by Count Engelberg II von Berg. In Thirty Years War (17th century) large parts of the castle were destroyed. It was rebuilt then, but it was used for industrial purposes for many years. In the end of the 19th century they began to rebuild it as it appears today.

Before we got to the castle we took a walk in the lovely surroundings of the castle.

Here you can see the castle, still in the distance.



We saw a defence tower. It was built for protecting the outer line of defence, some hundred meters apart from the castle.



Here you can see me with my travelling friends. There are also some TVs which were brought by [img]fam-united[/img], who is visiting us for a few days.



Soon we reached the castle. A market for decorative arts is taking place here, as well in the courtyard as in the castle itself.

Today we visited the zoo in Wuppertal, one of the neighbour cities.









They built a new house for the penguins recently. They were swimming right above my head!





I liked the elephants.



When we went home my Mum showed me the old station building, nowadays a restaurant is situated in the building.



Herlinde

I am on my way to Castrpppp-Rx...., Castrop-Rxua...., Castrop-Rauxel! Mum told me that I would travel to Turkey if I would arrive in time.

Herlinde

Hi Mum,

I arrived safely in Castrop-Rauxel on time, because my Host's Parents flight to Turkey nearly the next day.
And now I have time to show you all the great pictures from me and what I've seen.

This is me in the airplane. It was very exciting to fly with it. First I thought I could fly by myself, but the airplan is much faster than me!




After a short bus trip we reached the Hotel. It was beautiful there and the bed was very soft.


The Hotel was called Hotel Dragon, and I saw some dragons there!


After a long journey I was glad to go into the soft bed and sleep.
Soon I will show you all the trips I made and what places I see.
