(This is me!)

Hi!

This morning I arrived at my new host Tine. She opened the envelope immediately and I could breath some fresh air.

I came out of the envelope and looked around.

Wow - I'm not alone - two other voyagers are with me . Both like me, I got hugs and kisses and I feel fine.

I show them my notebook, the dutch shoes, the postcard - and everyone was interested - how nice !

I think the next days will be fine here in Germany,

Good evening - here are the news of my first trip - my name is Sebastiaan the hiking and climbing crab - and I am sooooooooo tired.

Therefore I would like to show you some photos of the trip to Monschau, an old village in a region called Eifel, which has got many hills...

Brrrrr - today my host had to go to the dentist. We went to Dortmund by car and had a short rest before visiting this kind of doctor. We visited the ruins of Hohensyburg and my host took some photos.

Sebastiaan

I am so sad, because Tux left us today - he is travelling to Mizzery now. Here are the last photos we took together with him ...

Good-bye, lovely Tux - it was nice to meet you!

Last week I was on a trip for two days together with Tilda and my host. We went to Würzburg, a nice city in the Southern part of Germany. Würzburg is situated on both sides of the river Main. Therefore I wanted to see this river first.
My host is great - she always does what I want to do  - and because of that we went there, having a nice look on an old castle on top of a hill. As I saw many ships on this river, I asked Tilda if she would also appreciate to go on a boat trip.
And - on the next day we went to a small town by boat - the town was named Veitshöchheim, a really difficult name for me and this town had a nice garden with a castle and also with some dragons. I wasn't afraid of these dragons as you can see on the photos !
At the end of the trip we went back to Würzburg again - and there we saw a nice pig in green. I liked this pig and I was happy that my host took a photo of us.

Bye,
Sebastiaan

Some days ago I visited a nice old town with a great market together with my host family and Tilda. We went to Kornelimünster which is close to Aachen near the border to Belgium and The Netherlands. Because of the fact that there were many, many people on the market my host didn't take many photos. But we all enjoyed the market very much...

Hi - here are some news from me - last Sunday I had a closer look at Alt-Kaster, the place where my host lives. I was on the playground too and we walked together to the lake. During the whole trip the sun was shining - I liked it very much.

Sebastiaan

Today Tilda and I visited the castle of Paffendorf and the castle park. The weather was fine - warm and sunny - and after some days with a lot of rain it was great to go on a trip outside again.

I hope you like the photos - have a nice Sunday!

Sebastiaan

Hi - what a misty weather - we went to the open cast pit Hambach - and everything was misty and it was hard to see something. But after some concentrating I could see the huge excavators in the coal mining. It looks like they are standing on the moon - what a grim place. I was pleased when we came back home and my host took two photos of mine with nice and colourful flowers...

Sebastiaan

Today Tilda, my host Tine and I went to Tine's physiotherapy by car. I tried to drive myself, but I wasn't successful - then I had to sit down on another seat.
We arrived a bit too early - therefore we had to wait a bit. Of course, we had been really helpful with the phone and the fax . Then we were allowed to go in - and, what was that??? We meet a skeleton - his name was Fridolin. I tried to talk to him but he was too shy to answer - what a pity...

Sebastiaan

Greetings from Düsseldorf !

What a hard day - I had to get up early in the morning. At 6:30 we left the house and I went with my host to her working office. I helped her with the phone calls and the computer during the day. In the afternoon we went to the Media Harbor where I saw the silver Geary Building, the TV-Tower, the marina and the river Rhine. The weather was great and I enjoyed every minute.

Sebastiaan

This evening we went to the castle park of Bedburg. I liked it there - it was calm and Tilda and I saw some ducks. My host told me that I have to leave her during the next days - I am bit sad about that, because Tilda is allowed to stay longer, but my host told me that I will travel to another host named Apperveilchen soon. I am really curiuos about that !

Sebastiaan

Yay, I arrived in Homburg! I had to wait in the mail box for a bit, but that was okay. Look what a greeting I got: There are Greta, Josh, Little Tex and beck the lion. They just got back from a short trip and we were all happy to get out or the dark and rest in the appartment. They told me about their trip to Bedburg today, where I just came from! Funny! They visited someone and then had a look around Alt-Kaster, where I was on June 1st.

This weekend it's not only the final of the European football championship, but also the Medimesterschaften. That's a yearly football (soccer) competition of teams from the medical schools in Germany. It's hosted by a different university each year and this year it's in Homburg. One or more teams from 31 different medical schools participated, bringing their own fans. They camped next to the stadium.

The field was was divided into 4 smaller field because the whole competition is in one days and there are women's and men's teams. One game also only lasts for 20 min. The men's semi-finals were decided with exciting 11meter shots. Homburg and Ulm won.

Then came the final. All the fans of the teams were at the side of the field and had to repeatedly be pushed back outside the side lines. I had to stay in the bag because of the pushing and shoving my host said. I don't think that was so bad, I think she just couldn't hold me, her beer and operate the camera at once. But I'm being understanding, after all she had gone there to celebrate.

They had lots of fan songs and games and of course t-shirts. (The owl is on the flag of the Saarland university that the medical school at Homburg belongs to.)

They even had various 'Flitzer' which were a lot of fun! There were pink bunnies, a couple from Magdeburg in matching thongs,

a team in surgical caps and masks on their heads and faces and face masks creatively made to cover their bits


and a number of others. I got the impression that the whole fan thing was more important than the actual games.
But in the end the first men's team from Homburg won for the 3rd consecutive year.

Everybody cheered, even those from other universities.

The official Homburger fan t-shirt: This kind of barbecue is called 'schwenken' and pretty particular to this area.

For the trophies everyone went into the party tent hours later. I'm not sure who cheered for whom here. I don't think they all knew. But people seemed to have fun.

There were even torches:
