Travelog for: Milk Chocolate

Bloomington, Minnesota, USA - 10th April 2012

By: lazyfairy

Hi Everyone!

My name is Milk Chocolate, and I LOVE chocolate!

I am a chubby puppy that wants to travel the world.  I love art and beautiful things.

There are no dogs at my house, so I am hoping I get to meet a dog very soon!

Hello!

Today the weather was nice!  The sun was out and so warm!  I visited Hidden Falls Park for a walk in the forest.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-LMIUo8aVmZI/T4ng3fl-guI/AAAAAAAAAwk/rXAV0R_wdnQ/s400/P1060525.JPG

I just HAD to climb this tree and smell these cherry blossoms!

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4nqDKzsMOa4/T4ng-2S2O2I/AAAAAAAAAws/5urF1Bp6NBM/s400/P1060536.JPG

Hidden Falls was beautiful!

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Ye1unaCQfCM/T4ngobltZ2I/AAAAAAAAAw0/Z06tKRHapcI/s400/P1060505.JPG

After all the hiking, we walked down to the beach.  This is the Mississippi River.  It was too cold to go swimming, but I had fun watching the boats.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-QFXM8pGRr04/T4ng8QabmFI/AAAAAAAAAw8/IpYt3usotbo/s400/P1060539.JPG

Being an artist, I love finding art.  This is an untitled sculpture by Salah Hammad.  We found it along the walking paths near the park.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-wn24v6MrDso/T4nhBxbvRSI/AAAAAAAAAxE/aQ1F1NHwO-0/s400/P1060544.JPG

I am also very excited to announce that I will begin my journey soon.  In just two days I will be on my way to Germany!

Good Night!

Bochum, Germany - 8th May 2012

By: Shilo

Hello Mum!

It took a while, but finally I arrived in Bochum.
When host mum, took my envelope into the living room, I was very curious who will be there, to welcome me.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ankunft%20Milk%20Chocolate%20und%20spielplatz/DSCN3403600x450.jpg

Then the envelope was opened. I couldn’t wait to come out of it. But ups, it was opened on the wrong side, so my feet went out first.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ankunft%20Milk%20Chocolate%20und%20spielplatz/DSCN3404600x450.jpg

When I sat up I could see two other TV’s.  I was welcomed by Snowball and Freddi. They hugged me and asked me about my long trip.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ankunft%20Milk%20Chocolate%20und%20spielplatz/DSCN3407600x450.jpg

After that I gave them the chocolate I brought with me. They were really happy about it.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ankunft%20Milk%20Chocolate%20und%20spielplatz/DSCN3410600x450.jpg

Because I was so long into this small envelope, we decided to go outside and play a bit on the playground near the house.

Freddi and I tried to pull Snowball up to us, but it was too heavy for us.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ankunft%20Milk%20Chocolate%20und%20spielplatz/DSCN3421450x600.jpg

We climbed everywhere around, every time another one of us was faster than the others.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ankunft%20Milk%20Chocolate%20und%20spielplatz/DSCN3431450x600.jpg

After that we were a little bit tired and went onto the swing.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ankunft%20Milk%20Chocolate%20und%20spielplatz/DSCN3436450x600.jpg

It made a lot of fun, but then we were a little bit too fast and so we…… :)

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ankunft%20Milk%20Chocolate%20und%20spielplatz/DSCN3438450x600.jpg

You don’t have to worry, we were fine. But after that we went onto the seesaw.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ankunft%20Milk%20Chocolate%20und%20spielplatz/DSCN3433450x600.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ankunft%20Milk%20Chocolate%20und%20spielplatz/DSCN3435450x600.jpg

It was a great day but now I am very tired, so we went to bed.

Love you Mum

Bochum, Germany - 15th May 2012

By: Shilo

Hello Mum.

Today a new TV arrived. Her name is Lorca and she is coming from England. She told us, that this is her first trip. I think we will have a lot of fun together.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ankunft%20Lorca/DSCN3441600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ankunft%20Lorca/DSCN3444600x450.jpg

We hugged her to welcome her here in Germany.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ankunft%20Lorca/DSCN3445600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ankunft%20Lorca/DSCN3446600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ankunft%20Lorca/DSCN3447600x450.jpg

Then Lorca showed us the Sweets and the Card she brought. The sweets look really yummy, so we decided to share them later.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ankunft%20Lorca/DSCN3451600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Ankunft%20Lorca/DSCN3454600x450.jpg

After that we took a new group picture together.

By: Shilo

Hi Mum.

Today the weather was so good, that Snowball went with us to the Kemnader Lake, to play miniature golf.

The club was is really heavy, but I made it to hit the ball.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Minigolf%20und%20Spieleabend/DSCN3456450x600.jpg

I hope the ball will roll into the hole

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Minigolf%20und%20Spieleabend/DSCN3457600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Minigolf%20und%20Spieleabend/DSCN3458600x450.jpg

The different obstacles were funny and it made a lot of fun to play on them.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Minigolf%20und%20Spieleabend/DSCN3465600x450.jpg

Freddi and I liked this obstacle the most, because we could slide on it

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Minigolf%20und%20Spieleabend/DSCN3468600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Minigolf%20und%20Spieleabend/DSCN3469600x450.jpg

In the evening we played a game named Talisman. It is a very easy game, because you only have to roll a dice and do what was standing onto the board.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Minigolf%20und%20Spieleabend/DSCN3493600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Minigolf%20und%20Spieleabend/DSCN3472600x450.jpg

These are the cards for magic spells and for monsters

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Minigolf%20und%20Spieleabend/DSCN3473600x450.jpg

Snowball got horns on her head  :)

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Minigolf%20und%20Spieleabend/DSCN3476600x450.jpg

Hey mum I am a rhino

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Minigolf%20und%20Spieleabend/DSCN3477600x450.jpg

I played a thief

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Minigolf%20und%20Spieleabend/DSCN3488600x450.jpg

I was bewitched and now I am a frog  :(

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Minigolf%20und%20Spieleabend/DSCN3485450x600.jpg

Oh no… we lost… and Lorca had won the game

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Minigolf%20und%20Spieleabend/DSCN3478600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Minigolf%20und%20Spieleabend/DSCN3492600x450.jpg

Now it is time, to go to bed.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Minigolf%20und%20Spieleabend/DSCN3495600x450.jpg

Good night Mum

Gelsenkirchen, Germany - 19th May 2012

By: Shilo

Good morning Mum!

Today Snowball went with us to Gelsenkirchen, to visit the Zoom. The Zoom is a giant zoo with a lot of interesting animals.

When we entered the zoo, we had to choose which way to go first. We could choose between the Africa world, the Asian world and the Canadian world. We decided to visit the Asian world first.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3776450x600.jpg

This is the compound from the red panda. Can you see the two behind me? Unfortunately they didn’t want to show their heads, to take nicer photos.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3497600x450.jpg

Here we are playing in is a small hut, that was built on the water in front of the orangutan compound.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3498600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3501600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3502450x600.jpg

Can you see the fruit bat over there? It is sleeping but it looks a little bit scary to me, because it is so huge.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3564600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3562600x450.jpg

This is a wonderful old hand truck

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3508600x450.jpg

We took a break before we went to the African world

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3504600x450.jpg

This gorilla is sitting in front of the entrance to the African world.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3774600x450.jpg

I’ve found the zebras. They were sharing the compound with the antelopes

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3597600x450.jpg

Wow the throat of these giraffe is so long.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3632600x450.jpg

Here you can see two African huts. Sadly we couldn’t go inside

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3567600x450.jpg

With these boats you could drive on a small river that was floating around the baboon compound, the flamingos and the compound of the ostrich’s. Unfortunately the line was too long, so we didn’t take a boat.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3657600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3679600x450.jpg

Wow these hippos are really big

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3687600x450.jpg

These lemurs were really cool. They were running around on a small island here. But I was a little bit too scared to touch them.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3709600x450.jpg

Before we went on to the Canadian world, we took another short break

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3655450x600.jpg

Now we are entering Alaska

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3779600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3718600x450.jpg

These moose had really long legs

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3740600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3772600x450.jpg

Here you could see an old school bus that was standing around here.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3751600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3753600x450.jpg

We meet a really friendly bear here and took a photo with him

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3769450x600.jpg

Wow reindeers, do you think they will bring me presents this Christmas? :)

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3754600x450.jpg

Lorca and I were playing around in a small wood hut.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Zoom/DSCN3723600x450.jpg

It was a wonderful day and we had a lot of fun.

See you soon
Love you
Yours Milk Chocolate

Bochum, Germany - 23rd May 2012

By: Shilo

Hello Mum!

Today a package arrived. Shilo brought it to us into the living room. We were very curious who will be inside.
Lorca took a scissor to open it. When the box was opened, we saw a little rabbit. His name is Hoppsi and he is coming from Berlin.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3781600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3783600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3785600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3786600x450.jpg

We made a poster to welcome him here in Bochum.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3789600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3790600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3791600x450.jpg

Hoppsi brought a suitcase with him and we were really curious what was inside, so he showed us.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3794600x450.jpg

After that Shilo brought an interesting looking plushy ball to us.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3796600x450.jpg

We were wondering what it will be, and when Hoppsi touched it….

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3799600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3798600x450.jpg

It opens and we could see a cute little hedgehog

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3800600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3801600x450.jpg

His name is Knöpfchen and soon he will be a TV too.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3802600x450.jpg

Now that we were all together, we took a new group picture.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3803600x450.jpg

After that Snowball took out a game called “rabbit and hedgehog”. Because we were two hedgehogs and one rabbit, she thought it could be fun to play it.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3921600x450.jpg

First we had to arrange the game

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3879450x600.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3881450x600.jpg

Knöpfchen was the one who started the game

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3883600x450.jpg

When it was my turn, I gave 6 carrots to go 3 steps.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3887450x600.jpg

I arrived at the first rabbit field. So I had to take a rabbit card

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3888600x450.jpg

Oh no, I had to fall back one position

Yeah I am on the first position at the moment

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3896600x450.jpg

On this field I could give away one of my salad cards

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Hoppsi%20und%20Hase%20und%20Igel/DSCN3905600x450.jpg

Oh no, I was so good but Lorca had won the game. I made only the third place

Although I lost, it made a lot of fun playing the game.

Witten, Germany - 26th May 2012

By: Shilo

Hello Mum!

Today we went to friends from my host parents. They also joint Toyvoyagers and we wanted to meet their TVs and watch the Eurovision Song contest together.
We meet Imodra Dragon, her tree kids Ranja, Spikey and Little, Cosy and Zeitgeist.
Here you could see a group picture from us all together.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Grand%20Prix%202012/DSCN3822450x600.jpg

Before the Song Contest started, we made some flags for all the countries that were participating in the contest.

When we were finished, we all sat down to watch the contest.

I am for the Candidate from Iceland

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Grand%20Prix%202012/DSCN3849600x450.jpg

We made our own ranking for the countries. At the moment I think the Swedish candidate was the best and Iceland could make the 4th place

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Grand%20Prix%202012/DSCN3826600x450.jpg

Watching the contest and cheer for the candidates made me really thirsty

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Grand%20Prix%202012/DSCN3824600x450.jpg

The Swedish candidate won the contest and the candidate from Iceland made the 20th place

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Grand%20Prix%202012/DSCN3858600x450.jpg

It was a funny evening, especially the meeting with the other TVs.

Movie Park, Bottrop, Germany - 28th May 2012

By: Shilo

Hi Mum!

Today was very exciting, because we went to the Movie Park in Bottrop. It is a very cool amusement park. 
Here you can see me in front of the entrance.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Moviepark/DSCN3932600x450.jpg

The “Bermuda Triangle-Alien Encounter” is a very cool water ride. But the Aliens made awful noises.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Moviepark/DSCN3938600x450.jpg

Everywhere on the streets we saw cool cars. Some of them were really old and others looked like they came right out of an action movie.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Moviepark/DSCN3986600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Moviepark/DSCN3987600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Moviepark/DSCN4004600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Moviepark/DSCN4005600x450.jpg

Riding this chairoplane made a lot of fun

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Moviepark/DSCN3956600x450.jpg

“Time Riders” was cool, it is a flight simulator

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Moviepark/DSCN3990600x450.jpg

It was so hot today, that we made a short break and bought a slush. It was really tasty.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Moviepark/DSCN3975600x450.jpg

When I looked around on the streets of New York, I saw this wonderful poster. Isn’t it nice?

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Moviepark/DSCN4020450x600.jpg

In the background you could see the “Avatar Air glider” and the “Ghost chasers”. It made fun, riding on them, but I think the Air glider is better.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Moviepark/DSCN4061600x450.jpg

Before we went home, we watched a Show called “Back to the movies”. At this show they played a lot of cool film themes and danced to them.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Moviepark/DSCN4038600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Moviepark/DSCN4022600x450.jpg

It was a great day. And Shilo told us, that when the weather is good, we will visit the “Heidepark” in Soltau in two weeks. I hope we could get there.

See you soon

Köln, Germany - 3rd June 2012

By: Shilo

Good morning Mum!

Oh mum, this was the best day I had so far on my trip. Shilo took us to Cologne to visit the Chocolate Museum. And inside the museum is a chocolate factory, so I could fulfill one of my life missions today.

First we went into the tropic house. There I found a cacao plant, but it has no fruits at the moment.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4071600x450.jpg

With this tool you can find out how heavy the bag with the cacao beans is

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4079450x600.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4081600x450.jpg

Oh look I found some chocolate in the show cases.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4087600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4123600x450.jpg

Then we went into the section with the chocolate factory.
This machine is called Cocoa mill.  The pre-crushed cocoa kernels were milled and trough the frictional heat the cocoa butter melts and the cocoa mass leaves the mill in a liquid state.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4107600x450.jpg

This is a giant mixer. Chocolate essentially consists of cocoa paste, cocoa butter, sugar, milk or cream powder, and flavourings such as vanilla. All components were filled into the mixer and thoroughly blended.  After that the paste was lead to the rolling mill.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4147600x450.jpg

The luke-warm chocolate paste is passed into the preheated moulds. The moulds then pass over a vibrating table so that the chocolate paste is evently distributed and any air bubbles can escape.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4145600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4146600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4117600x450.jpg

And this machine wraps the chocolate into paper. This chocolate was given as a gift for every visitor at the entrance.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4144600x450.jpg

This is a giant chocolate fountain. It looks so yummy and I hope I can taste a little bit of this chocolate.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4136600x450.jpg

Oh great, host dad was so nice and shared his chocolate with me

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4154600x450.jpg

Here you can see some shapes for chocolate bunny’s and Easter eggs and some sheets for Santa clause

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4162600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4170450x600.jpg

Look mum; here you could see how different chocolate sculptures were made out of different shapes.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4181600x450.jpg

The best thing in the factory beside the chocolate fountain is that you could design your own chocolate. You could choose which kind of chocolate you want and up to 4 ingredients which came into it. We choose white chocolate with cranberries, almond and crisps.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4182450x600.jpg

Here we could see how the self-designed chocolate was made.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4287600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4189600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4192600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4193600x450.jpg

After that we needed a little break

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4259600x450.jpg

Mum did you know, that Years ago you couldn’t buy chocolate in supermarkets? You had to buy it in drugstores or get it out of cool looking machines

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4212600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4216600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4232600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4279600x450.jpg

Wow a giant Lindt Rabbit and the in Germany very famous Milka cow

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4236450x600.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4257600x450.jpg

Here we could see how the packaging of some chocolate products changed through the years

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4243600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4250600x450.jpg

I couldn’t imagine how long it will take to eat this huge chocolate ball

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4261600x450.jpg

On our way back to the factory we saw some old commercials

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4280450x600.jpg

Great we got our self-made chocolate. It looks really yummy.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Chocomuseum/DSCN4302600x450.jpg

It was a wonderful day. We had so much fun and we learned a lot about the history of chocolate and how it was made.

Love you Mum
Milk Chocolate

Bochum, Germany - 6th June 2012

By: Shilo

Hey Mum.

Today we bought a lot of strawberries for us. It was a giant bowl.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Erdbeeren/DSCN4398600x450.jpg

Hmm they smelled very good

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Erdbeeren/DSCN4400600x450.jpg

And they tasted even better :)

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Erdbeeren/DSCN4401600x450.jpg

After so many strawberries our bellies were so full

Heidepark, Soltau, Germany - 7th June 2012

By: Shilo

Hey Mum,

I am very happy, because today we went to Soltau to visit the Heidepark.
When we stood up in the morning we weren’t sure if the weather would be good, but we were so excited that we started our journey anyway.

After three hours in the car we are finally at the entrance of the park. I am so happy that we are here now and the weather looks good.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Heidepark/DSCN4395600x450.jpg

Behind me you could see the roller coaster Limit. First I was a little bit scared because it looked so fast but then I had a lot of fun riding on it.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Heidepark/DSCN4319600x450.jpg

After the ride we went on the Panorama tower. From so high above we had a great view over the whole park.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Heidepark/DSCN4345600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Heidepark/DSCN4347600x450.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Heidepark/DSCN4352600x450.jpg

Then we went into the haunted house called Krake lebt. First we went under water with a submarine and under water there were a lot of scary sea monsters.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Heidepark/DSCN4381600x450.jpg

This roller coaster behind me is called Colossos. It is the biggest wood coaster in the world. Host dad wanted to have a ride on it, but we were too scared of the height.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Heidepark/DSCN4306600x450.jpg

We took a little break on this cool stone turtles in front of the Limit Roller coaster. While we sat here and enjoyed the sun, we were visited by a goose and here kids.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Heidepark/DSCN4359450x600.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Heidepark/DSCN4361600x450.jpg

This free-fall tower is called scream. Host dad went on it, but for me it was too high. I went on this free-fall tower called screamie. It is the small brother of scream.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Heidepark/DSCN4370450x600.jpg

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Heidepark/DSCN4375450x600.jpg

Riding this water slide made a lot of fun.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Heidepark/DSCN4389600x450.jpg

Now the park is closing and we were driving home. The day was really great, I love amusement parks.

Bochum, Germany - 17th June 2012

By: Shilo

Good Morning Mum.

Today Shilo told us, that Lorca will travel on to her next host the next days. Because of that Snowball had the idea to have a Tea party before she leaves. We planned to make a cake for the party.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Backen%20und%20Abschied%20Lorca/DSCN4414600x450.jpg

Before we started to bake the cake, we played around with the scale.

http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w503/Jasmin_Ogermann/Backen%20und%20Abschied%20Lorca/DSCN4463600x450.jpg

Now we could start our original Bochumer Tea party. :)
