Remscheid, Germany - 6th December 2013

Hi Mummy,
today Katja met her friends for their weekly knitting round. We enjoyed eggnogg, the kind of eggnogg people are prefering in the North of Germany, with white wine and eggs.
Yummy!
Don't worry, we only had one of them, or maybe two? I think two of them, but definitely not more.
Bye
Dutchy

Hi Dutchy!
What a wonderful cook you are and wearing a cook's hat as well! Looks really official! I had to laugh when I saw the pot leaves! Was there something in the cookies perhaps?
Thanks again for the great updates! Give my regards to your kind host and your TV-friends!
Hug,
your mum Emjay

Hi Dutchy!
I can see you had a great day! The TV's and me were in Germany too! We visited the Christmas market in Mainz, Koblenz and Rüdesheim. You can read the update of Hemming, if you like.
Well, have a nice time and give my regards to the other TV's and to hostmum!

Remscheid, Muengsten Bridge, Germany - 21st December 2013
By: olgamaus
Hi Mummy,
today we visited Germany's highest railway bridge, Muengsten Bridge.
Katja told me that Germany's highes railway bridge is connecting Remscheid with the neighbour city Solingen. We went there with Strunki and her guests.
This is Morsbach creek, flowing into nearby river Wupper.
Next we reached river Wupper. In the background you can see an outlook pavilion, Katja told us that we would see it again later.
This place is one of the touristic highlights of this region, so you can find information boards all along the way.
On this board the height of Muengsten Bridge is compared to other well known buildings like Cologne Cathedral or Berlin Cathedral. This picture is taken from an original historic postcard.
Do you believe in oracles? Here is one and only puddle oracle! I'm afraid it told us that the ugly weather will stay for the next days and that there was no winter in sight. No snow, no cold, nothing but rain.
Due to the rainfalls you can find lots of little waterfalls running down to the valley.
We reached the outlook pavilion than,the one we have seen when we started our trip. It was built around 1900 by a rich former citizen of Remscheid, August Diederichs. That's why it is called "Diederichstempel".
From here we had a first look to Muengsten Bridge. It is under construction works at the moment, no trains are crossing the bridge.
We found these weird things in the forest. Nobody knows what it is. They were made of something like concrete.
We all needed a little rest, I decided to sit in a tree and watch the river.
Along the path you can find several pieces of artwork, mostly engraved rocks like this one. A nine-men's morris!
Can you see this bridge in the background? Here we crossed the river to walk back along the opposite side of the valley.
Soon we reached Muengsten Bridge.
Muengsten Bridge was built of steel, completed in 1907. It is about 480 m long and 107 m tall. There are extensive repair works going on in the last few years and they are taking place at the moment. The bridge will be closed for several months. Some years ago a leisure park was built under the bridge. You can find lawns for relaxing here, a crazy golf course and playgrounds for the kids.
This was an interesting trip
Bye
Dutchy

Hi Mummy,
in Germany Christmas is already celebrated on December 24th. We helped to wrap the presents. Today Katja's son and daughter will visit us to have dinner. Tomorrow we will visit Katja's sister and on Thursday Katja's sister-in-law and her family.
We had a really calm evening with dinner. We had salmon with a mustard topping, potatoes and savoy cabbage. Yummy!
Bye for today
Dutchy
