Travelog for: Amelie

Hello !

In this update I will show you the old synagogue of Essen. It is a museum now, for the Jewish history in Essen. It was closed, when we were there, but maybe we will visit it again and go inside.
I have made a lot of photos. The arm in one of the photos is Torstens arm (the boyfriend of Fabi) - he has to hold me, while she was making the picture ! It was funny !
Have fun looking my pictures.

Amelie

PS. Some history:

Hello !

My last update from the city ! We found a shop, which I really like ! You will see, that they have funny things inside. We were laughing a lot about their things.

Amelie

Hello !

When we came home today, we found an envelope on our chair. Wauzi and I looked at it and try to find out what was in it...when Fabi opened it a little bit, we looked inside and then we knew what was in it.

Trafalgar arrived today. Right in time, because we will go to a big festival tomorrow ! Hopefully we can make a lot of photos !
Welcome little Trafalgar. Hope you will have a good time, here!

Amelie

Hello !

Today we had a long drive. We wanted to go to Xanten. It is around 1 1/2 hour away from Essen. So we drove with the car of Fabi's mum.
We had a break on the road (at a resting place) and made some photos.

I want to show them to you !

Amelie

Hello everybody,

we went on a Middle Ages festival today and we made some photos for you.
I saw an windmill and made a photo with it ! But it wasn't in Holland, so my life mission isn't fulfilled !
We saw an Knight's tournament, but we couldn't make photos with us on it, because we were standing really, really last row. It wasn't funny. But after the tournament we made a photo with the place ! Hope you like the photos. They are not so good, but maybe we will go to another festival next week.

We and Fabi in her dress (left side )!

I am so sorry, that I didn't update this week. It was such a great weather, but the camera is broken !
Hopefully it will be fixed soon, because we will go to an other festival tomorrow.
Cross your fingers for us,

Amelie

Hello !

We don't have so much time so I have to hurry updating. We are already ready to go to the next Middle Ages festival. But the postman came and gave Fabi a big envelope.

Chocolate Moose arrived here! Hope we will have some fun in the sun today.

Amelie

Hello,

here I am again. We are back home from the Middle Ages festival at Castle Broich.
Now you can see how nice the German Middle Ages fans are. We made so much photos for you.
I was able to sit in a selfmade cage and next to a campfire. I learnt how to fly and I met a lot of nice people.
I am so happy about it. And I want to say thank you to the people who were so nice and let us make photos with their things.

Lots of love,
Amelie

Happy Mothersday, mummy!

Today was such a nice sunshine outside, that we went into the garden. We had a lot of fun. First we played Hide and Seek. Trafalgar hided behind the high grass. We need a long time to find him. But it was funny.
After that I layed down in the sun and took a little nap. It was so nice and warm. When I wake up again, we picked some flowers for Fabi's mum. Fabi's mum wished herself for Mothersday some selfpicked flowers. So we helped Fabi and made a big bunch of flowers !

Have a nice day, Mummy,
Amelie

Hello,

when you read this I am already on my way to the next host.
I am a little bit scared of the travel. But Fabi said, it isn't too long because I will go to South Wales. That's not so long, she said.
I hope she is right!
It was hard to say goodbye to everyone. But I hope we will meet us again somewhere else. Maybe at a next host!
I had to eat a lot, before I went into the envelope, so that I can stay there for some days. Fabi made me a Pizza baguette. It was really delicious.
I hope I can tell you, that I arrive safety, soon !

Lots of Love,
Amelie


Goodbye Chocolate Moose




Goodbye Trafalgar (he is at the post office with me, but in an other envelope)




Goodbye Wauzi!




Yummy !

Hello guys!

I arrived in South Wales and I'm ok.



I was starving and it seems someone was expecting that as I had this 'cheesy tea time' prepared for me by this nice japanese doll!



I couldn't understand a word she said but Penvmbra told me she's coming with me to Portugal to stay with my mum 

Then there was this nice surprise: Lucky Duck had arrived just before me so I won't be alone in my adventures, eheh

He joined us for the 'cheesy' tea:





And then, resting time 

Take care,

Amelie

Hi again!

I haven't updated that often because Penvmbra's on examinations season at university and had loads to study, but I have had nice chats with Lucky Duck about our travel experiences 

However, today was a really nice day and we went for a walk in Cardiff city center.

Wales is a land of deep celtic roots.
There is an ancient tradition of giving a wooden spoon as a token of love to the loved one's.

Here you have the story of the Lovespoons:



That's me and Lucky Duck with an ancient warrior:



And me on his hands:



Then we went to a comics book shop called Forbidden Planet where there was hundreds and hundreds of comic books:



Before we go home we passed by a handmade soaps shop called Lush that smells really good.
Here I am on a pile of soaps to make bubbles:



I won't probably update so soon because Penvmbra has 3 examinations due next week, but once I have news, I'll show you

Kisses for mum and hugs for the rest,

Amelie

Today Penvmbra's friend Hugo, who came to visit her to spend her birthday with her, cooked a spanish speciality called 'tortilla'.

It was really good. 



Then, me and Lucky Duck spent some time exploring our hostess' books.



But we got tired quickly. 



By the way, look at her laptop 



And this is all for today!

Take care everyone,

Amelie

Today was Penvmbra's birthday so, besides she's full of stuff to study for the exams, we went to have a british breakfast outside and walk a bit.

The typical british breakfast is full of greasy food!





Here's the tower of a church near her house:



And then me and Lucky Duck spent the afternoon chatting on this nice art nouveaux gothic style sofa, eheh



Kisses,

Amelie

Hi there!

I'll let you with some photos me and Lucky Duck took still in Cardiff.

The first two are in the Cathays Cemetery, where almost all tumbs have celtic crosses.

The last one is from a lunch we had with kidney pie, so typical in UK and with an awsome taste.
