Travelog for: OleOrangescarf

Dear mummy,
when we looked out of the window this morning everything was white! The first snow in Paderborn this winter! 
OF COURSE we wanted to go out immediately, grabbed our scarfs...ready! First we made four snowangels 
Then we started to built up a snowman: the girls made a small snowball, we boys a bigger one and all together the biggest. Stacking up the snowballs was not easy but of course we managed it  It's a very nice snowman, isn't it?
At last my friend Monsti and me made the girls happy pulling them on the toboggan.
Then we went in and sat together drinking hot tea with honey and eating yummy cakes...
Yours Ole

Dear mummy,
today we drove to a birthday party of a friend of hostmum.
As you can see we enjoyed ourselves with yummy cakes and fruit salad 
Then we met some funny girls and a not so funny guy (Monsti was the only one who wasn't afraid of this strange fellow  )
The party ended with some excellent self-made liqueur...great 
1000 hugs
yours Ole

Dear mummy,
today we drove to the spa Bad Pyrmont for visiting a friend of hostmum.
We walked into the great spa gardens with many old trees, some old avenues, nice lakes and pavilions. How great it would be to visit this park in the spring or in the summer!
There was an old castle in the park with a very old vault and surrounded by water...and an Castle-café in which we had very yummy cakes 
In the inner courtyard we met a funny guy standing on his head 
And at last we visited two enchanting statues...one for the boys  and one for the girls 
Love you
yours Ole

Dear mummy,
today we went on a walk for visiting friends of hostparents who live in the middle of the forest near Neuenbeken.
On the first picture you can see where we roughly wanted to go to.
On our way we saw some nice heralds of spring. Looking back we could see hostparent's home village Neuenbeken and in front of us the forest began.
After a while we took a rest on a tree stump full of moss and on a natural 'stonework' which showed how stony is the ground round Paderborn.
The weather was great as you can see 
After one and a half hour we reached the half-timbered house.

Dear mum,
today two postcards have arrived which *Nick* and Störte had sent from Tenerife. One of the postcards showed the whole island with it's most famous places. So we sat in front of the laptop and compared the postcard with the travelogs of *Nick* and Störte cause now we could see for certain the places they visited.
See you
yours Ole

Dear mum,
today the weather was great, so we took a long walk round and up the Velmerstot mountain.
On the top of the Felmastot there was a wooden tower from which we had a great view.
On the way back we crossed a nice stream and took a rest in front of a mysterious cave...

Dear mummy,
today it was Bernie's birthday so we woke her up with a birthday-surprise: happy-birthday-candles around her bed 
After singing three birthday songs for Bernie she blew up all the candles. Then we all hugged her and gave her our birthday presents: some sweets, a biscuit and a little nice ladybird which shall bring her luck on all her journeys.
See you
yours Ole

North Sea, we're cooooming!!! 

Dear mummy,
after having a yummy breakfast we started to the North Sea and  today noon we arrived hostuncle's flat in Jever at the North Sea.
We were warmly welcomed by Zebresel and Paul the mouse who  invited us to sit on the balcony.
After a while we drove to the coast and had a first look to the Sea. Great 
We sat there on the beach...only watching without talking...
And we found a sand castle in which we played and had a lot of fun.
Back home Zebresel and Paul invited us to a welcome drink...fantastic 
I'm sure we'll have a great time here!
Love you
yours Ole

Dear mummy,
today we went to Spiekeroog island by ferry. On the island we first had tea, coffee and cakes in a very nice café. After that it was time for another rest so we sunbathed on an old tree 
Then we visited two churches, the old one and the new one that looked like a tent.
The whole afternoon we enjoyed the warm and lovely day on the beach 
Special greetings and 1000 hugs
yours Ole

Dear mum,
today we walked through Jever looking for a bikeshop for borrowing some bikes.
On our way we visited some nice old houses, the palace of Jever, a statue of Mary (last regent of Jever), a statue of a big bull, a statue of a peeing dog  and a nice blooming tree. Suddenly we came into difficulties (a battle in the middle of the town  ) but finally we found a bikeshop and with our bikes we started to our first biketour.
Look at the funny sign: a place called 'without-sorrows'...it must be nice to live there!
And look at the road surface: millions of old stones instead of asphalt!
Love you
yours Ole

Dear mummy,
today we went on a cycling tour. Following the 'Tour de Fries' we passed typical Friesian farm houses, typical Friesian moats with nice typical reed and typical Friesian cows.
After a while we reached Hooksiel, a coastal place that is filled with tourists during the summer months. We visited the little old harbour, the yacht harbour, the former townhall, a canon  and a funny cow 
After sunbathing in a typical Friesian wicker beach we went into a nice café for drinking typical Friesian black tea (from a typical Friesian tea service) with rock candy. Yummy!
I think it was a typical Friesian very nice day 
Yours Ole

Dear mummy,
today we went to Langeoog island by ferry. From Langeoog harbour we drove to the centre of the island by a nice old train.
For exploring the island of course we borrowed two bikes. On our way to the beach we met a bull with imposing horns (definitely no typical Frisian bull  ). We visited the water tower and a very funny sign. The beach was as great as our tour through the dunes. We climbed up the highest point of Langeoog and had a great view! When we carried on cycling suddenly a nice seagull landed and said "Hi, I'm Emma and I decided to come with you!" and so she did. Back in Langeoog-town we met a fisherman before it was time to say goodbye to this great island.
Yours happy Ole

Dear mummy,
today morning we were just relaxing on the balcony when suddenly somebody rang the doorbell. Who could it be? We walked to the door and opened it and saw a rabbit girl who said: "Hi there, I'm Hanna Hops and I decided to drive home with your hostmum when your holiday's over. I saw her together with you in the book shop in Jever I've lived until now and I thought it's a good idea to start a new phase of my life leaving this place behind me and following you."
With these words she jumped onto the sofa. We followed her and for the rest of the mornig we sat together listening to her experiences and adventures. She's very nice and she knows what she wants, I'm sure.
Yours Ole

Dear mummy,
in the afternoon we visited another parts of Jever city: the Jever brewery, a windmill, a cage for people (in former times supposed witches were put under water in such a cage...if they survived under water they were real witches and were killed, if not they were innocent but dead...a total terrible practise... ) and a millions-year-old fossil in a not so old wall.
Yours Ole
