Hi Mum,

The weather was nice outside so we took a walk around Sülfeld. Behind me you can see the tree that Dicker Kumpel loves most.

   

Look – we had sunshine – and talked a lot on this bench.

   

   

The trees looked so wonderful and colorful.

   

I thought about taking a bath – but didn’t do it, because the water was not so clean.

   

Back home we walked through this forest.

   

What a nice house!

Hi Mum,

I went to a small town near to Sülfeld. Look – there was a wonderful water wheel.

   

Can you see me? Maybe it is not so easy – a green frog on the green plant. Behind me you see the church of Bad Oldesloe.

   

Here I sat together with Dicker Kumpel and Dottie Mouse – you can see the water wheel again.

   

There were some nice houses.

   

I wanted to send you this flower – but maybe a photo is enough, too.



This is the town hall and a nice fountain.



And another nice house – the Stadthaus (house of the town…)



There is a nice river in Bad Oldseloe.

   

   

On our way back to the car we met these ducks. They were friendly and we talked some minutes.

Hi Mum,

It was sunny outside so Dicker Kumpel and I walked through Sülfeld. It is autumn here – but we have no snow, like you have at home, Mum!



I liked the colorful tree behind the little lake.



This is the old school of Sülfeld, a nice building.



The emblem of Sülfeld is beautiful – but they should put a frog onto it.



Sülfeld is an old village, it is more than 800 years old.



They have a wonderful church here – we wanted to go into it, but it was a church service at this time.

Hi Mum,

SURPRISE! We flew to South Africa. Isn’t that exciting? I looked out of the window.



On the map I saw that it won’t take too long anymore.



Today we took our first trip here. We went to a colony of penguins, but first I met this nice guy – it was a Dassie.



Then I saw the penguins – there were hundreds!



I went closer to some of them.



Look – there were parents with their child.



These guys were very close to our way.



I wanted to have a photo with this penguin. He was not afraid of us.



It was a nice time here with the penguins!



Back ‘home’ we had delicious Sushi.



It was a lot to eat, but ToyVoyagers are always hungry.



I have a great time here!

Hi Mum,

I am in Hermanus now.It’s a city where you can see whales. We saw some from our balcony – but wanted to see more. A funny taxi brought us to the city center. It is called Tuk Tuk.



From this point we saw one of the whales very close, but unfortunately RikeH took photos of the whale at this moment – and not of me and the whale.



But here you can see how big the whale was. (About 15 meters!)



We decided to walk back to our home. The Cliff Path seemed to be a good idea.

There were nice plants next to it.



We had nice views from the Coast and some Whales – but the Whales were too far away for a good photo without zooming.



We took a rest, because the way was long – and we loved this stone formation.





Wow – they have strange but beautiful flowers here.



Can you remember the photo we took half an hour before?  It was nearly the same photo. The path was longer than expected. Because I am an intelligent frog - I travelled in RikeH’s bag.



Fortunately we reached our home – and I want to show you our view from the balcony.



We relaxed in the sunshine after the long walk.



Mum, have you ever seen a big flower like this one?

Hi Mum,

It was time for adventure –we lived in this tent for 2 nights.



We relaxed next to a beautiful lake and in the late afternoon we went onto a safari in this car.



We watched out for wild animals and saw some – but you cannot see them on the photo – they were far away!



The nature looks different here to my home country!





Our guide told us that maybe a hippo is living in this little lake. But we didn’t meet one here. We saw three others earlier in the afternoon – but it is always the same with these wild animals – they didn’t want to be close to us.



This is a typical tree for this part of the world.



Look – can you see the rhino on the hill? It was amazing – and so big!

Hi Mum,

It was RikeH’s birthday and we sang a wonderful song for her in the morning.





In the morning we visited an ostrich farm and learnt a lot about these birds.



This one was older than the first one we met.



On this photo you can see a family. The black one is the male, the brown one is the female – and you see some children.



Their eggs were soooo big.



Later we saw some stupid people riding on the ostriches – at this moment there was no one riding anymore.  But maybe you can see that the ostriches can run very fast.



These 3 ostriches wanted to have a group photo with me.



Later we visited the Cango Caves. It was not so nice to take good photos – but I wanted to show you how the cage looked like inside.





Back home in our lodge we relaxed some hours – then it was time for meeting elephants. They should be there behind the lake.



We were really close to the elephants. These elephants were orphans – their parents were killed in the Krüger National Park. Now they were about 10 years old – and really tall!





It was so interesting to meet them!

We went back to our tent – you can see it far behind me!

Hello Mum,

It was our last day in the tent – and I wanted to show you how it looked like.



Before we left we had a morning safari.



It was amazing – we went really close to many giraffes.



There were 10 of it.



We stopped at this wonderful point and saw other animals – but they were far away.



Here you see me with my friends on our vehicle.





I liked this nice flower.



We went to Plettenberg Bay – the world looked different there! We went to the beach.

Hello Mum, 

Today we went to a place called Birds of Eden – the largest free flight bird aviary in the world.

We saw a lot of wonderful birds there – look – this one had my color!



Can you see this colorful bird? He run away when he saw me.



There were a waterfall – we walked behind it.



Then we crossed this adventurous suspension bridge.



At the end we came to the ducks, swans and other birds who live on lakes.



These red birds were wonderful!



The last birds were these blue parrots – they were so big!



What a nice day here.

Hello Mum, 

After visiting the birds yesterday, it was time to visit the Robberg peninsula. We saw it from our balcony.



Then we were there – and behind me you can see the beach of Plettenberg Bay – and maybe our hotel far away.



We took a walk on the Robberg – and had amazing views.



Here you see me at the point called the Gap.



Then we went to the other side of the Mountain – another nice beach.



We climbed up the mountain and relaxed, hearing the sound of the ocean.



What a wonderful trip!

Hello Mum, 

We drove to a town called Graaff-Reinet and had a wonderful home there. We stayed in the feather baron suite. Look at the beautiful bedroom.



This was the room for the daytime.



A beautiful garden was just in front of our room!



This angel played a song for me.



There was a funny bike with flowers.





Around the pool there were colorful plants.









I would love to have such a nice garden, too.

Hello Mum,

I want to show you the house we live at the moment.



Isn’t it beautiful?



We walked around Graaff-Reinet and saw this colorful tree.



This is a typical house for the town.



And look – they have such beautiful church here.



I found another nice plant…



… in front of this house.



In the evening we celebrated Stoker’s 100th birthday! We sang a wonderful song for him.



He loved his birthday candle.



Then he got his presents…



… and a big hug.



many greetings

Hello Mum, 

We went to the Camdeboo National Park - and stopped at this beautiful point. We had a great view over Graaff-Reinet.



In another direction I saw this funny mountain.



Then we continued our trip to the Valley of Desolation.



I liked these stone formations.

Hello Mum, 

We went to another lodge and had a drive in the afternoon. We saw so many animals – starting with elephants.



There was a big elephant family!



Then we met the hippos.



Earlier the day we saw them outside of the water – you can see them here:  hippo1 and here is a closer look. hippo2

Sometime later we saw cheetahs.



Closer photos here : cheetah1 and cheetah2

Back on the road we saw some antilops and zebras. antilope1, antilope2,  gnu, zebra1 and zebra2.



The last animals for this day were lions – we were very close to them. lion1, lion2 and lion3



It was a wonderful experience!

Hello Mum, 

I want to show you more of our Lodge. There were many interesting things to see. Here you see wooden characters from South Africa.



I loved this guy.



This was the small pool.



From the pool I saw our tent!



This was the main lodge.



Then I played chess.





Time for dinner?





This place was a little scary.



Back in our room.





This was the view to our balcony.



And here is our balcony. One day we saw baboons on the hill in the back.





In the evening we had another drive and met friendly giraffes again.



And lions. This time you can see them better, I guess.
