Hey Hey,

Today we went to another National Park - Oulanka NP – and made a walk called the Bear Loop.

We started at this suspension bridge.



This was the view from the bridge – and you can see me at the beginning of the trip.



We saw this little boat, but we didn’t have to use it.



Then it was so great – we stopped next to these rapids.





We went into this old mill.





We had to climb up mountains and had this great view!



Later we stopped at this waterfall. It was nice to sit there.



But it was even better to have a picnic in the forest!



The look into the other direction!



This was really interesting. You see the yellow ribbon around the tree? It shows that here is the start of the zone between Finland and Russia. We were not allowed to go there. The green color on the tree showed our trail.



A lovely bumble-bee.



Then we were back at the beginning – can you remember this view?



This time I had enough time to look into the other direction from the bridge!



Yes – I am a brave bunny – I crossed this dangerous bridge!

Hello again,

Another lazy day at home – this is our home…



In the evening Vriendje and I had a nice time together. First we had something yummy to eat.



This way it was easier to get the cheese-balls.



Can you imagine what we were doing ?



Yes, we sat in front of the fireplace.






It is great to spend time with a friend!

Merry Christmas to all of you! 

The Finnish people are crazy sometimes. We arrived in our new home today.



And look, what we have in front of our house – a Christmas tree!







This was really strange. But my Mum told me that we are in the Santa Claus Village. Santa lives here – this is amazing!

Maybe we will meet him tomorrow. Who knows?

But first I had to show you two funny things in our room. This is the wonderful lamp!



We had fun playing on it.



Now I believe that the Christmas Time comes nearer!



Hohoho

Hello from the Santa Claus Village!

We saw these signs today – and wanted to meet Santa Claus.





But can you imagine it? Santa Claus didn’t allow making own photos – and wanted to have a lot of money for the photos taken by his gnomes…

So we decided that this Santa Claus is nice, too.



There were an ice bear and some gnomes next to him.





There were signs showing the distance to some cities around the world.





And here is Santa Claus’ Main Post Office – he has to write many letters each year.



This girl helps him.



I was really in the North now.



I crossed the Arctic Circle. Have you ever done it?







It is even written in my language here!



Later I saw this funny tent.



There was a friendly reindeer with a sleigh.



I really loved it here in the North, but tomorrow we will be back in the South and visit Helsinki.

Love

Hello from Helsinki,

Yes, we visited Helsinki today.  Behind me you can see the cathedral.



I went inside.



Another nice view of the cathedral.



I liked this nice fountain.
 


This is the market hall – it is too long to get a photo of the whole building.



There were some ferries in the Port.





This is a Russian church – I loved the gold on the roof.



I saw some people making music.



There were some nice buildings in this part of the city.





Near to the water there was another beautiful building.





Look – we made a trip with a bus – and I learnt a lot about Helsinki.







These animals looked strange!



This is a wonderful church – inside a rock – really strange.





In front of a museum there was this moose.



There were two statues in front of the railway station. I think they have lamps in their hands.

Hello from Porvoo!

Today was our last day in Finland – and we spent it in Porvoo. We met a really nice lady there. First we climbed up a hill and had a look over the town. Unfortunately the trees were really high!



This was a better place to look at the city.



Behind me you can see the famous houses next to the river. The weather was not as sunny as yesterday, so you cannot see it so good.



There were moomins living in this shop.



We had a stop next to his bunny-lady. On the right side you can see some other TVs.





We went up this hill.



There was the cathedral of Porvoo.





It was a little dark inside.



Then we did something funny – we went onto the Castle-Hill. But there was no castle anymore…



We stopped on a bridge and saw some nice new houses…



…and a ship with the funny name Glückauf.



There was an exhibition of the fire department.






Here we had a better view of the famous houses.



It was a great time in Finland!

In the late afternoon we went to our ferry – here you see us in the port-area.





We drove onto the ferry. This was interesting!

Hello from a Ferry again.

We were back on the way to Germany. Fortunately we had television in our cabin. So we watched soccer. In the first game the Netherlands played.  Vriendje was so excited.







Unfortunately for Vriendje the Netherlands lost.

We went outside and had a wonderful sunset!







It was stormy again!







Here you can see a model of our Ferry!



It was time for soccer again. We decided to have a party!



Cheers!



Well the wrong supporters!



The game was great!







GOAL!







The good supporters!



Germany won – and we celebrated it!

Hello from Travemünde.

We arrived in Travemünde in the evening. Our ferry was very late – but we had nice views of Travemünde.

Can you see the big house?



We came nearer to it!





I visited this place last year. It was funny to see it from the big ferry!



This big sailing ship was wonderful!







I would have loved to spend some time at this beach – but it was time to drive home.



We passed these houses.



This big building is a place for old people.



Many greetings

Hello friends!

It is my birthday today! My TV-friends came and sang a Birthday-Song for me!



My Mum had this gift for me!



The others gave me a big birthday-hug!



We didn’t have a big party today – because my friend Murph will come this week-end and we will have a party then.

Yours
Dicker Kumpel

Hello again,

My friend Murph arrived today – and he brought some gifts for me!





I gave him a big hug. It is always great to meet him!



Then I started with the first gift.



What will it be?





Some sweets!



But there was more!





Beautiful sunflowers!



Thanks Murph.





Then I had to blow out the candle.

Hello Mum 

I really wanted to search mushrooms with my friend Murph. We went to Mölln and met some mushroom-friends of Murph.



The weather was horrible. It rained all the day. But no problem for us – we went to the ‘Krebssee’ and searched for mushrooms.



The friends of Murph didn’t have a problem with the weather.



We decided to sit under the tree – and watch the others!





We found one mushroom.



But it stunk!!!




In the afternoon we explored the terrain of Uhlenkolk. I never saw such a big Indian tent!



What a wonderful barbecue place. Maybe we can have the next big TV-meeting here?



And I found this beautiful flower.



I wanted to have a look into the tent, but it was closed.



The friends of Murph examined the mushrooms in this house.



Unfortunately we had bad weather and didn’t find so many mushrooms.



But of course it was a great day with my best friend Murph!

Many greetings

Hello Friends,
 
We went to Hamburg today.  The weather was not so nice - but no problem for us. We walked along the lake Alster in the center of Hamburg. Can you see the sailing ships?



There were more boats - I think they will be used if the weather is better!



There were some geese.



It was a nice place!



I saw other nice birds. A mother with her children





Then I met some relatives – can you see the bunnies on the grass?






Believe it or not – it was the same day – only some minutes later – and we had sunshine.



One of many churches in Hamburg.



Many greetings
Dicker Kumpel

Hello from the Port of Hamburg,

We went to Hamburg again. But today we went to the Port. And we saw a cruise ship!



This Part of the Port is called ‘Speicherstadt’. It is the old warehouse district, but they built a lot of new houses there.







Here you can see the old houses.



This is another part of the Port.



We made a short boat trip.













There was a wonderful sailing ship!





Behind me you can see the pier of the port.



My last views of the port.





Bye

Hi friends,

I wanted to show my guests some nice sights in Sülfeld. First we stopped at this nice lake – it was a little green.



Behind me you can see the old school.



This is the emblem of the village.



Later we went to the church – first I learnt a lot about it and the surroundings.





It is a beautiful building!



We were lucky – the church was open.







We had fun!





At the end of our tour we enjoyed the sunshine and talked a lot! Some of the others will leave soon.



I love this stone – but I am not sure if it is better to sit on it or in front of it – what do you think?





Love
Dicker Kumpel

PS : To Murph – the words meant many greetings!

Hello friends,

In the last time I had the feeling that I miss something. First I had no idea, what it should be – but now I know it. I should fall in love!

Well – it is not so easy to find a nice girl in the garden – so I decided to join www.find_your_bunny.hops

And this is what I wrote into my profile:

Friendly bunny wants to find the Mrs. Right Bunny!

About me:
My name is Dicker Kumpel – and I love to travel. I saw a lot of the world – and I already travelled more than 52000 miles in the last years.

I love to have guests – and often there are guests (or maybe always some guests here) – but I would love to have a nice Bunny-Lady next to me.

If you like travelling, having guests – and of course if you like my photo, then please send me a message.

Yours Dicker Kumpel

Great idea – but now I must have a nice photo. Women love flowers – so I should have a photo with flowers.

Maybe this one?



Or is it better not to see all of me?



Maybe it is better in the sun?







Well – I think this one is the best.



Keep your fingers crossed for me that a lovely lady will write me.

Yours
Dicker Kumpel
