Hello Mommy,
today I arrived in Germany.
When I crawled out of my box I realized that some other tvs stared at my box. They didn't realize me!
When they saw me they noticed that the box was my traveling box!
They welcomed me warmly and told me about their adventures. I think we'll be good friends!

Hello family,
it was time for Fiete to leave us. We all cuddled him a lot.
Then he crawled into his envelope. His next stop is Switzerland.
Goodbye Fiete.

Oranienbaum, Germany - 26th August 2012
By: MA_17
Hey Mommy,
today we had some cultures...
First we walked around the castle and the park. The Gardens had its origin in the 17th century, when the marriage of Leopold's great-grandfather Prince John George II of Anhalt-Dessau to the Dutch princess Henriette Catharina, in 1659 brought a team of engineers and architects from the Low Countries to lay out the town, the palace and a Baroque garden in the former settlement of Nischwitz, which was renamed Oranienbaum in 1673. The Dutch influence remained prevalent in the Principality of Anhalt-Dessau for many decades. Oranienbaum Palace was finished in 1683 as the summer residence of Henriette Catharina, where she retired after the death of her husband in 1693. From 1780 on Duke Leopold III had the palace and the park rebuilt in a Chinese style with several arch bridges, a tea house and a pagoda. In 1811, the orangery was built, with 175 m (574 ft) in length one of the largest in Europe, which still serves to protect a wide collection of citrus plants.
The front...
...the back.
The fruits (oranges and lemons) mellow.
We also went into the castle! We visited the Dutch Design exhibition which takes part for a few months. It was opened by the Queen of the Netherlands.
We bought some tickets where we didn't have to pay the full price and a permission for taking pictures inside!
It was really interesting and so much to see on 3 floors!
Some vases...
...and a lovely lamp.
It's time for dinner!
They had chicken in the cellar! Ok, no real ones...
I think I could need a new dress...
I really enjoyed the day!

Hello Mommy,
today we did a short stop-over in Oranienbaum. We visited the Baroque parish church which was built in 1712.
We also stopped in front of the famous orange tree on the historical market square. The tree is the symbol of the city.
