Travelog for: Ismaya

Hello

My name is Ismaya
My dream is to feel snow , just like my siblings ( Larasati, Arimbi and Bisma ). Hope my dream come true as soon

Hello....

Here iam , in Bajra Sandhi Monument
About the Bajra Sandhi itself ,  the architecture  is very unique, taking the shape of Bajra or Genta, a bell that used by Hindu Priests during religious ceremonies. It is also a symbol of the bond between males and females that creates prosperity according to the epic that tells the story of the Gods struggle to get the Water of Eternity.
Every statue and each carving in the monument compound has its own meaning. The whole of the monument symbolizes Mount Mandara where, according to the epic Mahabarath, the Gods had a battle with giants fighting for the Water of Eternity

Hello..............

Now , iam being located at Kertha Gosa , an old building of jurisdiction and legislation and is one of the main areas in Bali that has been important throughout history in the development of modern Bali. Located within the district of Klungkung in the north of the island and is an excellent and grand old area with amazing history. The words Kertha Gosa mean peaceful announcement which has been the prime focus of the Kertha Gosa throughout history. The inside and outside of the Kertha Gosa and all around it there is some amazing art in the form of paintings and carvings of wood and stone. This is an area unlike the temples of Bali and the feel is very different. Here at the Kertha Gosa the focus is on power and the importance of the legal system as it was here that trials and penalization was carried out. When inside the Kertha Gosa it is easy to feel how it must have been in the old days when the trials and deep discussions on the politics of the area where carried out. The Kertha Gosa is not only of great cultural value but many of the artifacts and artwork that is inside the building has been deemed extremely valuable although obviously it will remain inside.

And i took a picture with Indonesia girls that wearing their traditional dress, KEBAYA

Hello mum,
Yesterday I arrived in Switzerland. After a long journey I was very tired and needed to sleep. Jasper wished good dreams because the first dream in a new bed will come true. The dream must remain my secret, but you know certainly from what I've dreamed. This morning I was sitting on a small bench and had breakfast,



as by and by many stuffed animals appeared. Jasper introduced us:

Panda_Lilo from Germany



Shakespeare from Germany



Hase from Germany



Wolley, he is from Guinea, Africa



Salmonella from Wales



and last but not least Lola Rabitt from Germany



and I showed them my gifts.






I was a bit nervous but they hugged me and welcomed me warmly.






I like it here but it's so cold.
Best regards from your (chattering his teeth) Ismaya

Hello mum,
today, when Jasper was at work, I've been looking a little bit.

I found beautiful flowers





and a small tree on the balcony.



Then I met a cute cat.





She liked me.



Beautiful views with a wild, blooming cherry tree.





Sunny but cold (10 degrees)





I got a warmer sweatshirt, have you seen it?

miss you mum

Hi Mum
The last few days were boring. Only bad weather and cold it is. Today we made soap bubbles. First, we have tried it in the dining room





but Jasper has sent us out to the balcony. Too much water and soap on the table and the floor.









We had lots of fun on the balcony.
yours
Ismaya

Hi mom,
Yesterday we had to say goodbye to Salmonella. She travels home. In parting, we celebrated a tea party with cucumber sandwiches and scones and cream and strawberry jam, and of course tea.





We enjoyed the food and talked a lot.











Then Salmonella packed her things and it was time to say goodbye. We gave her a big group hug and wished her a safe journey.





A little sad we watched her as she slipped into her jacket.





Bye, bye good friend, maybe we'll meet again.
Also, bye, bye dear mom,
your little Ismaya

Hi mom,
Today we took a small break in the rain and walked 10 minutes to the outside. We found large tree mushrooms.









A little change in this gloomy monotony.

Ismaya

Hi mom,
The last few days were exciting and boring at the same time. We had heavy rains, floods and landslides and we could not go outside. As the weather improved, Jasper's dad had to go to the hospital. Again, no time for walks or excursions.
But today the weather is wonderful and grumpy grandpa is healthy again.
Early in the morning we started for a walk to the river Thur. It was lovely. Everything was very quiet, most people were still asleep. You could hear the birds chirping and rushing the river and the air smelled of hay.
We went over a small bridge. The river looks so romantic.



We sat in the moss



and ran through between rocks.







A narrow footpath led us to the waterfall.













Then we walked along the shore







and saw remnants of the flooding.



On the grass in the trees you can see how high the water was.















By beautiful forests







and mysterious gorges, we were on our way home.



In one of the houses that you see in the background I live.



At the end of our walk we discovered these wonderful flowers.



It was great.

Hugs and kisses from your happy Hippo

Hello home
Today I was a pilgrim on the Camino de Santiago. Honestly it was a coincidence. We wanted to visit the ruins Iberg.













On our way we saw this sign.



It means:  the castle Iberg was built around 1200. By 1300 it was mentioned as a monument to the pilgrimage route. Since about 1800, it is a ruin.

We felt very special.
From the castle we had a great view over the Thur Valley.











On our way home we sat on a funny looking tree.



It stung a little on my butt.

Hugs and kisses from your
Ismaya

Hello mummy,
Today I got up early. A trip on the program. According to the weather it is 30 degrees Celsius today. I wanted to put on my shirt but Jasper consisted on the warm sweater. After half an hour's drive we reached the Schwägalp (1352 meters above sea level) I saw high mountains with white spots.



Jasper said to me: This is snow. I wanted so much to go there.
And so we boarded the cable car





and drove up the mountain Säntis.









At 2,502 meters above sealevel, Säntis is the tallest mountain in the Alpstein massif of northeastern Switzerland. The mountain is a highly visible landmark.





The panorama from the summit is spectacular.













Six countries can be seen if the weather allows: Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, France and Italy.
The exposed location of Säntis results in weather conditions normally observed in the high Alps. For example in April 1999, just beneath the summit on the northern snowfield of the mountain, a snow height of 816 cm recorded what. The daily mean temperature is -1.9 ° with a precepitation of 2,701 mm per year.
The International Meteorological Congress of Rome in 1879 declared it as a necessity to build weather stations on adequate and accessible summits. Therefore the Swiss built a weather station on Säntis. (Commissioned in autum 1882)



Located on the peak of the Säntis is a 123.55 meter high transmission tower.



Mom, what can I say, the weather was wonderful. Jasper showed me all the six countries.







Here you can see on the horizon of Lake Constance.





The TV Tower was impressive.

I sat on rocks





and admired rare alpine plants.





I visited an exhibition of minerals - beautiful.












The most beautiful was: I could play in the snow.




I was sitting on the snow,







I was lying in the snow,







I dug down in the snow.








Jasper told me that the snow in June is not as nice and powdery as in the winter. That did not bother me. It was cold, it was wet but it was snow.
Many greetings from the happiest hippo in the world

Hi mum,
Jasper brought us a little skateboard.



On the balcony I tried some feats.



I came away with a few scratches. Nothing serious.
Ismaya

Hello mum,
Today a new TV arrived.



I think it's a little leopard but I'm not sure.
I'll ask her about it. She is a little shy but very nice.
And that we are, Jasper's gang.





Hugs from Ismaya

Hello mum,
on Friday I had my lazy day.
First I tried the new swing



and then I lay in the sun.





Greetings from your deeply relaxed
Ismaya
