Travelog for: Hessen-Leo

I looked forward to the trip to Sirmione very much, but the weather was very unstable and we got wet in the rain.  Btw. Sirmione is a beautiful place on the side (more precisely it's something like a peninsula) of Lago di Garda. Lago di Garda is a very large lake and its water looks like sea water.

Now I am back in Brescia and am writting postcard to you, mom.

.... cup of the day...

Now we are on the way home. Bye bye Italy, I will miss you!

.. a cup of coffee in Beroun (Czech Republic)....

The weather was very warm today, so we decided to go swimming, but we found out that the water is still too cold so we just borrowed a pedalboat.
1) pedalboat rental
2) I am a helmsman!
3) red chapel
4) bridge
5) something about the dam's history
6) view of the Pastviny Water Reservoir from the dam
7) artificial lake
8) I am too curious and careless

May 1st is the time of love here in the Czech Republic, so I am adding thematic cup of the day.

Today we visited the Litomysl town.  We saw the Litomysl Chateau (= UNESCO site since 1999) and the Monastery Gardens.
1) dollies and cups! for sale in the chateau
2) in the courtyard
3) in the courtyard (for this pic mailianne used flash and that caused the total discharging of the battery in her camera, so the next photos are taken by cellphone)
4) in front of the chateau
5) detail of the sgraffito decoration on the walls (every single frame is original and unique, you can't find two that would be the same)
6) in the Monastery Garden (great place for picnic or taking a rest)
7) music fountain with statues by Olbram Zoubek, but without water
8) me inside the fountain

Rishu left us today. Good luck my friend, I will miss you.

Mailianne wanted to show me Pardubice (the city where she works) before I leave her. But unfortunately I have not seen much, because she was in a hurry.
1) the town hall on the Pernštýnské Square
2) the Jonah House - the picture on the house is showing the Bible story about Jonah and the whale, but the whale looks like a normal fishy fish.
3) there was an international fair on the Pernštýnské Square,  so we saw many stalls with food and crafts and these traditional Indonesian music instruments.
4) cup of the day (the background is a poster )

Last unplanned trip in the Czech Republic.... We visited the New Chateau in Kostelec nad Orlici and the Castolovice Chateau.
1) the chateau (back side)
2) the chateau (front side)
3) blooming rhododendrons (the sweet smell of flowers was all around)
4) another flowers
5) on the tree
6) miniature of the Kostelec town in 15th century
7) what a perfect banisters - I have an idea... 
8) banisters slide!

I will add Castolovice later... stay tuned!

So this is the quick stop in Castolovice:
1) the main entrance
2) in the courtyard
3) in the courtyard (close-up)
4) cups of the day

This is really the last travelog from the Czech Republic. Next week I am going to return back to Germany and visit Zandy. I am looking forward to new adventures.

Hello mummy!

Sorry, that I didn't wrote earlier, but Zandy was really busy before the holidays and so I we couldn't take pictures. But now I'll write you beforewe will go to Tenerife. I can't belive, that I will go there. So cool!

First I checked the sunglasses, if there are ok.  But a little to big for me 



Than we all - that are: Meav, Bussi, Ayana and I - checked the card of Tenerife which we will take with us. We study it and also the book about Tenerife. The place we will stay is called Playa de las Americas.







Than we packed the luggage. Look here we are ready.



And at least we all jumped into Zandys backpack.



But she smiled and sayd that this is to early, this night we will sleep at home and in the morning we will fly. But we all decided that it is better to sleep in the backpack, so that she can't forget us. 



Good night! We will see us in 14 days.
Hessen-Leo

Have a nice time, little Hessen-Leo!

Hello mummy,

like you allready knew: We lost the SD-Card with all our TVpictures  But Zandy allowed me to take her "private" pictures to show you what I see. Of course without myself at the picture, but I will show you all the fantastic things. And at the end, you will see some pictures and videos with me, because there we had another card (this one with we had to put into the cam, because the other one was full. In out last hour in Tenerife.  )
But ok, it happens and we can't change it. But we can keep the nice things we saw in our mind. 

We flight from Frankfurt (HOMEEEEEEEEEE!!!!  ). Here you can see our airplane which reflect in an bulding.



And here we are over Frankfurt. What a nice view!



An here, look how great it is over the clouds. We sang the song "Über den Wolken" together. It was funny!



So this are the first pictures. More will come soon after prepairing them for uploading. 

Yours,
Leo
