Travelog for: Haribaer

Happy birthday, hostdad!
Unfortunately in the afternoon it started raining so we had the birthday cake in the kitchen and not in the garden. But nevertheless the gooseberry-cake was very yummy!
Yours Haribaer

And in the evening we went into the restaurant "Fischerhütte" in Bad Lippspringe on the edge of the spa forest.
Not only the dinner was very good but also the ambience 
And look whom we met in the garden...

Hi mummy,
now it's 'Libori' in Paderborn and that means it is state of emergency 
'Libori' is both a secular and a worldly festival in Paderborn with many masses in the cathedral and processions in honour of St. Liborius whose relicts were conveyed from Le Mans to Paderborn in the year 836 and are kept in a shrine in the cathedral's crypt.
Every July the shrine is shown for a few days and the 'Libori' festival is celebrated for one week.
There is a big market round the cathedral and a very big fairground.
Today 'Libori' has been opened and we were present! Mum, you can't imagine how many people and how many bishops I saw!
Next week we'll visit the fairground.
All the best
yours Haribaer

In the evening we visited hostmum's parents for watching the football match Dortmund against Bayern. You know hostmum and her mother are enthusiastic Dortmund fans and so it was a very good evening for them cause Dortmund won 4:2!
Before watching the match we visited hostgrandma's lovely garden. We discovered a small fountain, a small pond (with a BVB-duck AND a Schalke-duck in it  ), a hotel for insects, a birdhouse, many flowers and some strange occupiers of the garden.
When it got dark hostmum showed us a very nice flower: in German 'Nachtkerze' (Oenothera biennis) that blooms in the night! Every evening some blooms open in some seconds and bloom for only one night. They looked beautiful!
Love you
yours Haribaer

Hurray!!! The German women have won the Euro Cup!! 

Hi mummy,
today morning we welcomed another TV from Finland: Sebastian the little bear (completed a part of a life mission!)
He showed us a postcard from his home and gave us some yummy candies  I think he's a nice guy!
Today evening we'll visit the big Libori-fair 
All the best
yours Haribaer

The fair was fantastic!!!
First we drove to Paderborn city by bus. The town was full of people...you can't imagine!
And then we saw the fair with lots of merry-go-rounds, tickets stalls with hundreds of plushies, strange figures, music all around...wow!
And we drove with a Ferris wheel  We could see the whole town, it was so great!
After all these impressions we were very hungry and so we got some chips and chocolate cherries at 'Petit Paris'...yummy!
Back home we heard somebody whispering...ans saw two curious guys who have followed us from a plushie stand 
See you
yours Haribaer

Hi mum,
today morning hostmum said 'let's go for a walk through the forest round Neuenbeken as an alternative programme to our fair visit in the evening'.
And so we did.
We saw nice flowers, many many trees, a big thistle and a raised hide and had a great view.
And we discovered a mousehole and waited and waited but no mouse appeared...
Of course we had to take some rests, one on a bench, one on a tree stump, one in a cabin and one in a tree cave. The weather was very good so we had a nice walk and have now energy enough for visiting the fair again
Yours Haribaer

Dear mum,
in the evening we drove to the Libori-fair again.
Cause the weather was much better than last Wednesday we went into the Ferris wheel again. The view was fantastic!
After that we had some cider, yummy!
The Libori-fair ended with a gigantic fireworks! Unfortunately you can see us only in a very shadowy way  but we were there and it was great!
Bye, yours Haribaer

Dear mummy,
time to say goodbye 
Goddbye my friends Laika, Sebastian and Mr. Moose, goodbye all the other plushies, goodbye hostmum and hostdad and thank you for the adventures in Paderborn.
And goodbye Twixx, my best friend! I'll miss you and I hope we'll meet again!
Mummy, I'm coming hooooome!!!
Yours Haribaer

Today I came home from Paderborn.
Mummy is really happy to have me back at home, and so am I, although I'm already missing my friend Twixx.

Everyone was also happy that I brought delicious candy with me and such a cute postcard.



Mummy promised that she would invite Twixx to visit us one day.

Now I will spend some time at home.
