Hello mum,

Today we started our very short holiday. On the way to Thuringia we stopped at this beautiful spring. The water looked great, didn’t it? 



On the sign there were a lot to learn about this spring.



It was so wonderful here.



We didn’t want to leave. 



A last photo of the spring and we continued our trip.



On our way we saw this sign.



Surely HoBi had to stop.  And we had to search for Easter eggs. And yes:





Easter was here… 

Jasper

Hello mum,

We learnt a lot about Martin Luther in Eisleben. There he is…



This was the house where he died.



This beautiful fountain had nothing to do with Luther.



Neither this house. It is the town hall.



There were many sculptures of Luther in Eisleben. We really liked this one.



At the end we found the house where Martin Luther was born.





So much about Martin Luther – but it is Easter 

Until soon

Hello mum,

Isn’t this a beautiful castle?



We wanted to have a closer look at it.



We walked around the castle.



It looked like a castle in a fairy tale. 



In the inner courtyard there was a market. It looked like the Past. 





This was a wonderful day – let’s see what we will do tomorrow.

Many greetings

Jasper

Hello mum,

On our way to Tilleda we drove through Bad Frankenhausen. Here you can see a very famous church. 



The church is more inclined that the tower of Pisa. 



Then we went to a museum. You can see parts of a castle of Emperor Barbarossa.



The gate to the old castle and an old workshop.





This is an old smithy.



I really liked this house.



An old stove out of mud.



Behind me you can see our next goal. 



Yours

Jasper

Hello mum,

This was our next stop. I think that this monument is famous in Germany. 



It is a monument for the emperor Barbarossa.





Here you can see a photo of Barbarossa



I absolutely wanted to have a photo with this lion.



How exciting – petrified wood… 





We wanted to have a souvenir from this holiday. 



What a great coin – it was self-made by us.



Unfortunately our holiday is over now.  Time to start the way back.



It was a wonderful holiday, I saw so many things. 



Until soon

Jasper

Hello mum,

today I took a look at the hometown of Murph. This river flew through the whole city.



There are 2 big salines in the spa gardens. The people used it to produce salt in the past.





It smells good. 



This is the famous place of Murph. It is called Summstein – you sit inside of it and bumble. Then the whole body prickles. Very funny! 



Next to the Summstein you see the colorful pigeonry, but I didn’t see pigeons.



There were many beautiful trees in the park.





They opened a golf-course here. It is an 18-hole-adventure golf course.



Bad Salzdetfurth is a really nice city. I hope that I will show you more of it.



Many greetings

Jasper

Hello mum,

We went into the forest again and searched new mushrooms for DottyCroc.



But first we found many orchids. Really beautiful flowers!



The first mushrooms… St. Georg’s mushrooms



Murph told us that we should smell the mushrooms. Not that nice  ….but eatable.



The bear’s garlic blooms!



And another  Orchid – it was really big!



We never saw a white orchid before. They are very rare. 



Another mushroom: a little brown cup





We saw this danger sign in the forest. Ticks should live here – but we have no problems with it – we are ToyVoyagers. 



This mushroom is really rare. Murph only knows one place where it grows. Normally it is purple – this one is not that purple – and it is poisonous – violet crown cups



We continued our walk and went onto a meadow. So many Snowdrop windflowers!



And more orchids – I love these flowers. Mum, do we have wild orchids at home, too? 



You know this orchid, don’t you? 



At last we found another brown cup – but this one was really big…



What a wonderful day in the forest. Next weekend we will visit Dicker Kumpel, the best friend of Murph. How exciting!

Yours

Jasper

Hello mum,

Today we visited Dicker Kumpel.





We showed our gifts to the others.





They really liked it and were so happy.



Dicker Kumpel planned a game for us - great! 



He explained the rules. We played with the die. Everyone who has a six put the cap and the scarf on. Then he or she was allowed to ‘fight’ with the wrapped chocolate. This seems to be funny. Let’s start. 



I threw the dice – unfortunately no 6… 



The next time there was a 6 – I took the cap and the scarf – and here I go. 



After the game we all ate sweets – yummy!





What a wonderful day!

Until soon

Jasper

Hello mum,

We took a trip to Grabau together. There is a maypole in the middle of the village.
   


But actually we wanted to go into the forest.



Let’s see what we can find here.



Wow – really beautiful!



We loved the view over the lake.



A quiz in the forest. Do you know this tree? It was an oak tree.



Normally you can play music here, but I was too small. 



We found great mushrooms! Everyone knows these mushrooms – you can eat it in chinese restaurants – jelly ears… 
 

We observed animals.



For good photos we were brave and went near to the animals. 







Then we continued our walk- and at this lake we watched out for birds.





More mushrooms!



I think that DottyCroc completed his 2. life mission. But now surely…



At the end we found this great wooden wigwam.



What a wonderful forest! But then it was time to say goodbye to Dicker Kumpel and his guests.



It was a great weekend!

Yours

Jasper

Hello mum,

Today I had to say goodbye to Murph and DottyCroc.



I visited Murph for a long time – and we had a lot of fun together. He is a funny guy and became a good friend of mine. 



But now it is time for me to travel on.



Bye Germany! Russia – I am coming. 

Hopefully until soon.

Jasper

Hi, mum!!!
toyvoyagers is finally repaired. I am very happy
I'm alright, I rest in Russia and miss you so much



In the near future I'll tell you what I was doing all this time. Happy Holidays!



Jasper

Hi!

I very miss you. I want to tell you soooo much. Sit in a comfortable position and listen



This summer I and other good TV went to Lake named Bannoe



It was cold, but very fun





I was even able to put on the One Ring. I'm Frodo, can you see me?





We also saw the horses and cows. They are so big compared to me! I wonder how much I need to eat that to be the same as they are?





In the autumn we went to watch a movie in the open air. Do not worry, I put on my hood







In honor of the opening of the "cinema" was a drift cars...



...and fire show







It was awesome! Then we watched 2 films and went home.

We celebrated the New Year at home. We found a present for us under the Christmas tree



It's a little Christmas tree ^_^ But the best gift is to see site working again







We walk in the park next day



It was so cold brrrrrr



We should drink hot tea with some tasty staff after a good walk



So I spent time very good

See you soon,
Jasper

Hi Mum,
this Saturday we went to the city to buy a few things. Because the weather was so great we walked around for some time. We started our trip in the city centre, in front of the city hall.



Katja showed me the listed facade of a well known department store.





We walked towards Luisenviertel ...



... with its picturesque narrow streets.



From here we walked uphill towards a quarter called "Ölberg". This quarter was built as a housing area for workers, although there was already electrictity, most residents of this quarter still used oil lamps.
That is where its name is coming from.





Walking uphill often means a fantastic view across the city 



Have a look at thouse gorgeous houses!



Once again we had stairs to climb.



This is a  well-known place in this quarter, "Schusterplatz" with a large playground.







This church belongs to a large cemetary.





We walked back towards the city centre though another part of the Northern city.







We had to buy food for the ferrets then. Katja often buys it in a Turkish supermarket.

Bye
Jasper

Hello
as our weekend trip turned out (heavy thunderstorm, the road has been spilled) mom comforted us with a pizza.





A pizza from sweets.



Bye for now
Jasper

Hello There,
we will take a trip, no matter what the weather report says.
We make our way to Flims in canton Grisons.
There lies on 997m above sea level, tucked away in the woods, one of the most beautiful mountain lakes of Switzerland - the Caumasee.
The first view of the turquoise lake let us cheerfully start.





Through wild meadows and unspoilt woods brought us our path to the viewing platform Conn.





First impressions of the gorge.











This is the platform.







"Il Spir" (swifts) is called this platform for their birdlike appearance.
It extends diagonally across the 400m deeper Anterior Rhine Gorge.







Then it was time for a break.
Apple pie and coffee gave us the strength for the way forward.



Wild strawberries, mushrooms and escargots were our companions for a certain time.







Then we reached again the Caumasee. The short rain shower caused a particular mood.



This color - something truly special.



We enjoyed the rest of the way.









After five hours we arrived back to our starting point.
A last look at this beautiful lake.



Maybe I'll be back someday.

Hugs and kisses
Jasper
