Travelog for: Simão IV

Hello Mum,

We were on the water – and it was stormy. But we saw the sun between the clouds.



It really looked like winter.



Somewhere there behind the hills should be Harvoysund.



But first I had another look forwards.



There was the village.



With many colorful houses…



Then we continued to the North Cape! This was our famous place in the cabin.



Sadly the motion of the sea and the wind was too bad – we had wind force 11 and the shipping company decided to change the route. Our next stop was Hammerfest. I liked this monument.



And these arches with the Polar bears nice.



It was very windy. On the sign behind me I read, that it was the northernmost city of the world.

Hello Mum,

Yesterday evening we reached Alta. Today we took the bus into the city – and here you see the only interesting building in the city. It is called polar light cathedral. I can imagine that it looks wonderful during nights with polar lights reflecting in the walls.   



And I liked it inside.



Then we walked through Alta – there was an Igloo here, but it was not many left of it.



This guy produced shingles.



Maybe you can get water here during the summer time – but not at this time of the year.

Hello Mum,

Our ship went back to Tromsö.



Look, there were icicles on the ship.



On the sign we read what to do when there will be a man over board. Luckily everybody stayed on board.



This is the route of the post ships. We only tried to use a small part – and didn’t do it, because of the weather.



There was a big tugboat in the harbour.



I built a snowman.



This was the flag of the ship.



Some hours later we arrived in Öksfjord. The surrounding looked beautiful.





But again it was stormy and we had dark clouds. The weather changed every few minutes here.



This was Öksfjord.





It was a nice holiday here in Norway – unfortunately the ship wasn’t as good as we hoped.

Happy Easter Mum,

It was Easter – the party for Bunnies and Chicken – so I visited some.



Look, a wonderful pyramid with Easter bunnies on it.



Then I met some birds in front of a nice plant.



It was amazing – I met the real Easter Bunny – and got a chocolate Egg.



We all had a great day!

Hello Mum,

Today we went to Bad Segeberg. There was a big lake.



We had lunch in this small house.



There were many fallen trees on our way – this one felt into the lake.



And this one was cut, because it felt over the way around the lake.



On our way back we saw this nice monument.



And a helicopter – there is a hospital close to this place.



This was the church…


… and a place with y nice fountain.



Look, this tree was wonderful!



Another big old building.

Hello Mum,

In the afternoon we celebrated Dicker Kumpel’s birthday. We wished him a happy birthday and sang a song for him. He loved the couch that Murph gave him as a birthday present.



We played soccer, because it was EM!



It was fun.



Then we went on the swings…



…and into the sandbox.



I had a great place.


 


Then we sat in the sunshine and talked a lot.



Oups, nobody should see this – we took some drinks with us.





Cheers!

Hello Mum,

We are in the North of Europe. And who lives here? Correct – the Vikings! So we visited a museum of Vikings.



The church looked beautiful.



I was so brave – and we took a photo of this Viking and me.



This was a scary sacrifice place.



I liked the wonderful houses.





We looked at the boats!





This is the place where they are during the winter time.





On our way back we stopped at a mountain. This looked steep. What will be there on the top?



There was a nice big stone.



The Danish flag is everywhere.



There were strange signs on the other side of the stone.

Hello Mum,

Time for a party- it was called a Halloween-Party. We celebrate it now, because we won’t be at home at Halloween. Wow – a basket full of sweets.

   

This was our place for this evening. Nice flowers, great confetti and sweets!





Yummy and scary sweets!



We all found something nice.



I chose a funny mouth.



Then Kleine Fee showed us a game. Well it looked like chocolate.



Before Kleine Fee explained the rules, I played with the funny eyes.



We had to play a memory game. There were 5 different pairs.



This looked difficult – we cannot see the images on the front anymore.



I tried it – no pair – bad luck.



After 10 rounds I found one pair - and I didn’t won.



Well – Kleine Fee told us, that it was an easy game, because we could have looked at the different colors.  I think that she is very intelligent, no one of us 4 players had that idea!

Let’s change the Topic…..What was this?



It was getting darker.



Wow – a big pumpkin!



There were other great shadow-creatures.

A big skull – but I was brave!



It was funny – a shadow of Stoker.



It was a wonderful party!

Hi Mum,

I am in Australia and it was time to see the red earth of Australia. We took a guided tour and were 4 human guests, the guide and we TVs, enough space for all of us in the car.

Our first stop was Broad Arrow – you can see a water tower behind me.



There was a pub – the Australian people leave the town to have a drink in the outback. Really strange.



I looked at the map – where we will be today.



Then we arrived in Menzies – a small village. But it had a nice tour with funny sculptures. Can you see us on the camel?



This was the typical landscape here.



Look, some nice old machines.





The town hall of Menzies.



This side looked great – with a photo of the people in the Past.



This was the bakery.



I liked the beautiful flowers.





Wow – a cool motorbike – I had a great ride on it.



This was our goal of the day – the Lake Ballard with 51 statues- we are so curious.



I had a great seat in the car.



This looked adventurous.



Then we arrived at the Lake Ballard – a salt lake with a small hill in it.



There were 51 of these art works all over the lake. They should show people out of the region – only smaller and a little different to their normal appearance.



We shouldn’t have go here, when there would have been rain in the last days.



It looked great!



I had a nice view from here.



This was exciting – and this was the landscape next to the lake.



We stopped in this pub on our way back to Kalgoorlie. Maybe you have to do this on an Australian tour…we had lemon lemonade.

Hello Mum,

We drove to the Torndirrup Nationalpark. First we stopped for the view over Albany.



This viewing point is called The Gap. Oh – they build an exciting platform there.



I was so brave – it was high about the sea level.



We were able to look through the platform.



Beautiful!





This was a Natural Bridge.



We had a great view from here.



And we learnt a lot about different kind of rocks.



These rocks were nice.



From the Jimmy Newhills Lookout I saw the ‚secret‘ haven.



This plant was great!



There was a round way on the Stony hill. This plant next to me was funny and very tall. The rocks on the hill looked beautiful!



And we had a nice view.





Can you see the small people on the rock?



We were on the left side during the last hours – now we will drive to the right side.



I am on the beach yet.







It was a great day in the National Park!

Hello Mum,

Time for another beach. However – this one should be cleared for the summer – it was a lot of seaweed on it.



But the color of the sea was beautiful!





Then we went to high Dunes. The Australians have their own sense of humor. This sign is for drivers, who stuck in the sand.



This looked beautiful. The small points on the Dune are humans – they drive on sand boards there.



I would have loved to drive in this sand buggy, but I wasn’t able to reach the accelerator.



Yours Simão IV

Hello Mum,

These funny formations are called Pinnacles. You can find them in different sizes.



I really like it here.



These ones were very tall.



And it was very windy here.





It was a great trip through this scenery.



We saw many Pinnacles from this viewpoint – and many tourists.



In the evening we went to Cervantes’s beach. Soon we will be back in dear old and cold Germany - so we had to enjoy the blue sky and the high temperatures.



There were fishing-boats on the ocean.

Hello Mum, 

I am on the Amrum Island with my friend Dicker Kumpel. There was a nice plank roadway.



And surely the way went into the Dunes.



The signs showed different nice places here.



This is a wonderful lake in the Dunes.





The sky looked wonderful!



It looked great into all directions.






I like Dunes!



Hey – there is the lighthouse.



There were more small lakes between the Dunes.



I came from there…



It will look great when the plants are blooming.





At home we sat on the beach chair and looked at the Kniepsand.





It is beautiful!



And I liked the tree in the garden.



Love
Simão IV

Hello Mum,

Today we went to Bad Oldesloe - a small town near to Sülfeld. We walked through the spa gardens.



This small lake looked beautiful.



I felt like being at home – look – a salt spring.



It should have been here – but the view was nice.



We had a break in the forest.





This was the sign of the salt lake.

Happy Easter, dear Mum!

Many Easter bunnies are living here!



I love this Easter-Pyramid.





Then we met the Easter Bunny.



He gave us chocolate!





What a nice day!
