Travelog for: Frederik

Hey Mom,

last Weekend we went on a City trip. 
We took the Train to Freiburg which is in the federal state of Baden-Württenberg and is surrounded by the black forrest. Means there are hills and mountains all around. 
On friday afternoon we climbed one of (with the help of a small cable car Train) to get to a panoramic view Tower. By the time we reached it we were already so exhausted that we didn't even went up the stairs anymore.
After that the three of us just strolled around in the old part of Freiburg and found that cute small alley with vine branches growing over it and saw lots of other nice places.

Hello dear Mom,

our second day in Freiburg didn't start off too well. It was raining a lot. So Orkku Orava, Susie's and me jumped on the tram and crusied around town.
In the afternoon the weather got better and we got to go outside. That was luck for us cause we met some very interestings residents  and saw beautiful mosaic's on the sidewalk (they even mark the store they are infront of) and small water canals that are all over town (they are great to play in but you have to make sure not to step in the water or otherwise you have to marry a local  ).
And not to forget the cathedral with it's super nice and colourful Windows.

Love you Mommy

Yo Mama,

sunday was actually depature day. But since we planned to take a Train in the afternoon there was some time left. And we even left the town and took some kind of cable-sky-cabin-train up to the top of the Mountain "Schauinsland" (20 Minutes, 3,6 Kilometers, Elevation 1220m). We walked around a bit and enjoyed the view. But had to go back soon to catch the Train back home.

What a super nice Weekend. 

It is summertime and the weather is nice lalala dadada 
What a wonderful day. And we spent most of it in the park at Schloß (Castle) Philipsruh. Susie's showed us the place from all around and then wanted to relax in the shade. But not us TV's.  We ran around and climbed things and didn't fell like stopping.  But when we came back to hostmum we fall over even had to take a nap to rest from all the climbing and runing.
After waking up we even got some icecream. 

I like the summer.

Yours

Frederik

PS This Castle is right behind the Theater we went to a couple weeks ago.

Hi Mum,

this morning I had to say goodbye to my good friend Orkku Orava. She is on her way to the netherlands. I will miss her because she is lots of fun. 

To distract me, Susie's took me to Frankfurt and showed me a real nice place. It's a rooftop garden with lots of herbs and lavender. I really liked it. Especially because I could see the Skyline of Frankfurt in the distance. 

Have a nice Weekend.

Last sunday we went to some kind of zoo.  But they only have animals that usually live in the wild in Europe. Like wolves, elks, deers, wild pigs and some more. All the animals have very spacious compounds with lots and lots of room. It's a huge zoo and we spent many hours there.
They also have a falconery with trained  birds. Of course we had to see the Show. 

How was your Weekend?

Love you

Hey Ma,

how are you? How was your Weekend?

I spent the day outside (of course).
This time we drove to Bad Orb to walk along the barefoot path. It is supposed to be the longest one in Germany with it's 4,5km.
We walked on a whole lot of differed Undergrounds. As there is: Wood, sand Stones, mud and even a little greek to wade through and much much more.
That was fun.

Love you

Good Evening Mama,

have you melted away yet? 
I almost did, yesterday. But it was worth it. 
You will see.

First of all we took the Train to the Frankfurt central Station. Where we got an ice cold chocolate drink. It helped a bit but only for a few minutes. Cause then we had to take atoher Train to the
Stadium which usually is home of the 1. League Soccer Team called Eintracht Frankfurt. But not yesterday night.
A super great Show took place. Named  Aquanario.
Of course it has to do with water but there also was fire, Music and fireworks and lights and........ It was just wow! I loved it. 

And how was your Weekend?

XOXO

Frederik

Hi Mommy,

yesterday Susie's took me to Frankfurt/Main for some Sightseeing.
I got to see the cathedral and the Römer (square). Both are nice and are famous sights of Frankfurt.
I would tell you more about them and their very important history but I'm way to tired cause that weather that extremely hot weather is so exhausting.
I'm sorry.

Night night

Cause it is still sooooo warm we can't do much. Neither inside nor outside.
So all we did last Weekend was a short walk along the river Main sunday morning (this time without a flood). That was bearable. At least for a little while.
And how was your Weekend?

Send you hugs and kisses

Hi my Love,

yesterday I had to say goodbye to hostmum Susie's. 
But now I am on my way to beautiful switzerland. What a great place. 

Love you Mammi and goodbye Susie's

Hi mom,
I arrived safely. Shortly after the postman put me in the mailbox, my envelope was taken out again.



I heard whispers and rustling -





then it was bright



Someone opened my film container.



Ooh, a snake.



I got a little scared.



The warm welcome made ​​me forget my fear quickly.





All hugged me very carefully.











Then we shared the sweets and Jasper was happy about the beautiful card.
Now my adventures in Switzerland can begin.
See you mom,
Frederik

Hi mom,
This afternoon I was suddenly a little hungry. I followed my nose and "found" in the kitchen - cheese,



Swiss Appenzeller.



Mouse - Cheese - perfect. First I tried just a bit.



Oh, so yummy. Then I ate a bit more



and a bit more



and a bit more.



I think no one notices it - or?



Greetings from a happy mouse

Hi mommy,
Yesterday I visited the Alp Sellamatt. First we took the car to Alt St. Johann













and there boarded the cable car.



This brought us to 1390 meters above sea level.



We had a great view of the Thur valley, the Säntis and Churfirsten.











We hiked on a circular route and there was a lot to see:
Happy pigs



Alpine chalets



rocks



Wooden art objects



and many beautiful plants.





We also wanted to visit a small chapel but there just a baptism took place. Because we do not want to disturb, we sat on the low wall in front and enjoyed the view.







At a fountain we refreshed ourselves.



Then I climbed a huge mountain.







Okay, the mountain was most 2 meters high but to me it looked like Mount Everest.
We walked on and it was very warm. I needed a sun hat.



Over the upper Alp







our path led us back to the cable car.



I slept very, very well that night.

Hugs from your mountain mouse
Frederik

P.S. sorry for the blurry pictures. Jasper did not think that it is so difficult to photograph little mice and I could not sit still.
We promise to do better.

Hi mommy,
what a great day today. It's my birthday!
I slept until Jasper came home from work.
Then I got a nice lunch - cheese, Italian salami and walnuts and a glass of wine.





I enjoyed it.









Then all my friends came - hugged me, wished me all the best and gave me a gift.











I was quite touched.



Also, I got a gift from Jasper.



What could it be?





Hey, a tiny beer mug.





And a huge cake.



It smelled soooo good.



I tried a bit



- so delicious.







When host dad comes home I will broach the cake and then I'll drink a beer with him.
Then we will celebrate until the morning.
Love you mommy
Frederik
