Travelog for: ZORRO_Zebra

hi, everyyyyyyyyybodyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!

we went to the groceries and helped ipuenktchen a lot to carry the shopping cart... coz in her neighborhood it's a bit hilly, 400 m more altitude than in the city-center!!!

we saw some white berries.... mulberries, as ipue told us!!! later there will be also black ones, even in her garden!! and also king-mulberries, black and giant!!!!

heyyyyyyyyyyyy, leutzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!

although the weather was a bit stormy we had a ride downtown and noticed - believe it, tabriz is the host of the Asian Women Chess Games!!!

when we came out from the taxi there was a nice flower-basket and we would like to see it from nearby!

then first - yeah.. the post-office!! and what a surprise, they had STAMPS>>> hehe... mostly missing...  and so we were able to send out our postcrossing cards!! even we had been allowed to take a pic from a new stamp sheet, will be issued after one week!!



from there we passed the ancient townhall (built during the thirties by the germans!!!) and very fast we went back home as we were pretty hungry!!!!!!!!!

hey, dear friends heeeere & theeeeere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

boahhhhhhhhhhhhh, how tired we got todayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!??!?!?
but it was an excellent tabriz-tour today - everybody enjoyed a lot!!!!!

very early in the morning we started at the hotel with a small german group and made it downtown into blue mosque!! our next stop was the yard of the silk road tower and you can see ZIZZI  with its beautiful mosaic! then a must, the tabriz bazar, world heritage site, the world largest roofed bazar!! on our way out of the bazar we passed the main mosque and next the restauration dept, section bazar, of the iranian heritage and in front we entered the constitution house! later we joined a sangak bakery, the famous tasty bread baked in a traditional kiln on pebbles!! beside it we went into the pilgrimage place and didn't got any pic inside - a matter of respect. *smile* just beside there was the modern poet's mausoleum from the sixties!

then it was time for a late lunch and you see us waiting for!!!!!!!!

everybody agreed this great day and we were pretty tired!!!!!!!!!

today JORIS the 2nd asked dear lili_6789 to take a pic of baby's room!!! it's soooo beautiful!! together with close friends they painted one of the wall of baby's room with a beautiful pic, designed by the mom-to-be, dear _6789!!!!! and as me, ZIZZI, and dear ZORRO_Zebra had been guests at lili's today, we took the pic together!!!! and we all are sooooo excited when the baby will arrive finally!!?!?!

helloooooooo, pplsssssssssss!!!!!!

finally a glimpse on our salade olivier Ipue prepared yesterday and we helped a lot!!!!

in the afternoon she told us we have smth to do at the tab airport!!?!
so pls stay tuned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??!?!

EDIT:
later we understood lili_6789 and ipuenktchen had an idee to cheer up dear little princess_04 (former anita_2004), the granddaughter of ipue, for her b-day in june and she found somebody to bring the gift to DE....... so it can reach dear little princess_04 in time - juchuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pssssssssssssssssssssssssst.... pls don't speak to anybody about!!!

helloooooooooooooo, leutzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!

some *younger ppl* picked us up towards the garden.. and what a great day we had!!!??!??!?!
there we found still some *elder ppl* who had lots of fun with a yummy barbecue!! and so we
had a great day and with such a feeding we'll grew up soon - hehe!!!!! besides a tasty halva!!!!!

the nature was again so beautiful because of lots of rain! pls have a look yourself!!!

helloooooooooooo, leutzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!
what a lazy and boring day today.. so we got in our mind to eat some cherries from the yard.... but how we can bring the ladder at the cherry-tree???? we decided first to have a power-nap to get more powerful... and so we did....



later we got a training on the rings to get more bulging muscles and then we tried to climb on a tree.......... boah, it was really hard!!!!!!!!!! then ipue-mom found us and was laughing - she knows us pretty good, that we were thinking for the cherries!!!!!! and she gave us one to try - and really, they aren't ripen yet..........



so all our efforts reached nowhere...............

what an unexpected trip we had just now in december!!!?!?!
after a short flight of 2 h we opened our eyes and ppl were speaking a bit rough in their melody of speaking in comparing with farsi.... and they told us it's arabic!!!! wow!!!

the next morning we got up early and had a walk downtown!!!!!!! souk... - the arabic bazar, the creek, a boat instead of a taxi on!! and arrived at bur dubai! and as they had just the day before our arriving their 43th national day there had been flags and pics of the founder of the UAE and their leaders everywhere!!

this morning we started the day with a trip at the mamzar beach!!! oh how great to go for swimming in the persian gulf with its beautiful turquoise water... although as we had swimming at our hotel, too!! on the roof is a nice swimming pool and we used it every day!!!

hehe.... st. niklas day in dubai.......... hohohoooooooooooo!!!!
today we had to leave :-((((((((( it was really nice here. we couldn't imagine before we saw it with our own eyes!!!

arrived at the dubai airport we had time enough to have a glance again at the duty free shop - and ipuenktchen couldn't believe it when she saw the famous FAZER choci from finland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??!?! and yeah, she bought one!!! yummyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!! what a great souvenir!!! well done!!!!!!!

and you can also see our colourful new friend with us, which was bought by dear lili_6789 also from duty free shop!!!

btw - and yessss, for sure we saw all these highest skyscrapers, but we didn't took any photos of, no need, coz this is boring as you see their pics everywhere!!!!!

hello, everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
today we had REAL WINTER, it was snowing heavily and we got so happy about!!!!! well, finally it was ipuenktchen
and her hubby, who had to clean the doorways, and this was hard for them!!!!!!!
but we like all kids were happy for so much snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and our friends POSSY & CROSSY & ZIZZI are with
me!!! but, BELIVE IT!!!!! at last ipuenktchen forgot us in the yard, and now it's dark and late and we had to sleep outside... :-(((  thanks god it's not that cold!!!!!!!!!!!! so we are waiting for the sunshine in the morning...!!! 

helloooooooooo again, everybody!!!!!!!!!!

when the door opened and ipuenktchen came out into the yard, we all got so happy to be rescued after this long night on the snowy tree...... and poor CROSSY was hanging upside down even, poor guy!! ...and my dear buddy ZIZZI, most miserably, went down into the snow ... upside down!!! But we all swore black and blue that they crashed the moment ipue came to our rescue, so nothing had happened at all. (the uncaring mom was still ashamed...)

and so we went for a walk in the park.. shahgoli is the ancient name!!

so awfull, dear followers, when we got up in the morning and it was again snow everywhere and a very bad stormy weather.... but to have a look outside in the yard wasn't that bad...........

we understood, that Possy & Crossy went out with dear ipue.. but we agreed a lot to stay at home!!! this was even the better part!!!!!!!!!

today I had the great opportunity to reach my first LIFE MISSION, to take part in a postcrossing-meetup abroad!!!! we had been 60 participiants, what a crowd, and so many cards to sign or stamp... oh...

as ipue was so excited when she met at the cologne-meeting 60 postcrossers!!!!!! she took only one pic at the restaurant while we made our signatures on the tons of cards!!!



a little bit we were unhappy.. when we understood today we have to say goodbye to our cute buddy POSCHTI who met his mom today in this meetup!!! and also we kissed goodbye POSSY & CROSSY who have such a lot of holidays to manage... bielefeld, delft, beijing... oh, we got really a bit jalous!!!!!

hi, leutz, today on 2nd easter holiday I got thrilled when we opened the envi and ipuenktchen introduced herself and...................... MY DEAR COUSIN CHRISSI, which arrived from essen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was one of my life missions, and I'm so proud to reach it!!!!!! we both got speechless, when saw each other, as we look like 100 % twins!!!! but, guys, honestly she was a bit cleaner than me - well. she's a girl... hehe........ but she's a cute gale and I like her a lot!! and ZIZZI_Zebra was also with us, but she is different, with short legs.. we got friends all together!!! and feel so happyyyyyyy!!!!

we immediately made some pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
pls have a look!!!
we will have a lot of fun, I'm sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
