Hi friends,

It was time for a Cruise – well – this boat looked small. It didn’t matter, we wanted to cruise on the Donnelly River.



This boat looked good – and I saw the Captain.



We drove from the  Karri-Forests to the Ocean.





Surely I had the best place on the boat.



Look there was some sand.



The trip was relaxing!



When we went near to the ocean, we saw some small hills.





This looked exciting. What will be behind the curve?



The rock looked great!





There was the beach – and behind it the sea.



This was the way we came.



The beach looked so beautiful. Behind me you can see the river.



The boat waited for us.



The beach was great – and there were only 4 other pessengers from the boat here with us.







Then we had to go back on the boat.





We had tea and fantastic muffins.



On the way back we saw this small cottages.



We really enjoyed the trip!



You can see where we went today. At ‘you are here’ was the start and end – and we went to the ocean.

Hello friends,

You need to visit a beautiful lighthouse in every holiday! This was the Cape Leeuwin lighthouse. We saw so many tourist here as never before during this holiday.



I wanted to show the flag, but it was more important to see my whisker.



This is one of the houses, where the light keepers lived with their families.



Wow – this lighthouse is the highest in Western Australia and the third highest in Australia.



We were not allowed to leave the ways, because there were snakes in the grass.



The lighthouse was so beautiful!





And I loved the view here.





This was a great point – two oceans meet here.

Hello friends,

Time to climb under the ground. We visited the beautiful Mammoth Cave. We were allowed to visit it on our own. We had an audio-guide.



The first hall was very big!





This cave was famous, because they found fossils there. Here we saw a bone.



There were more bones.



It was a great visit.





But it became exhausting at the end – we had to climb up 200 steps.

Hello friends,

We were in Margaret River in a nice house. There was a place called amaze’n near to it. What a funny name.

Next to the mazes were a botanical garden.





This was the entrance to a maze – will I find the exit?



Murph and I found it together.



We had to rest – it was very hot today.



Oups, this was the entrance to a very big maze – this looked difficult!



Which is the correct way?



Which is the correct way?



We were ready with the first half of the way – it looked difficult from here, too.



Fortunately we were able to escape and watched beautiful flowers.





This should be art – but for us - swings.





More plants.









Another difficult game.





What was this?



We were caught in the net of a giant bird.



But we were able to escape on this bike.

Hello,

I want to show you our holiday house. This was the nice view from our veranda over a small lake.



The lake was really beautiful.



You can see our cottage there.



We had enough place to relax in the living-room.



Then we drove to Busselton. They have a 1,8 km long jetty there. A small train drove on it, but we preferred walking.



Look, see-gulls with their chicken.





We were far away from the coast.



But there was a longer way to walk.



No idea, what this was – probably arts…



Back on the safe land, we saw this old crane.



It was nice here.



Then we continued our trip to Mandurah. The weather wasn’t so nice here.





However it was beautiful.



We walked over this high bridge.



There were many small boats.



And surely arts again.



The view from our next apartment was nice, too. There were many beautiful birds on the stone in the lake, but there were too far away for photos with me.

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.

Hello friends,

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,

On our way to Perth we stopped in North Norcia. It is a town of monks. Behind me you can see the Gertrude's College.



Next to it was another college – it looked similar to the first one.



This was the Abbey Church.



And here a look into the Abbey.



We had a delicious meal in this hotel. In the town on our walk it was too hot – and there were many flies around us.

We were in Perth – the loneliest city in the world. The next city is very far away. We saw beautiful houses.



The streets were ready for Christmas.



Look – skyscraper behind the low old buildings.



I really liked the theatre.



But the high-rises were nice, too.



A small church…



…and another old house.



These men were funny – they showed the evolution of businessman in the last centuries.



London Court was a nice small mall.







You can see the difference between old and new here again.



This man was very sportive.



The town hall.



There were kangaroos in the middle of the city.



We jumped with one of it.





Really exciting!



There were more beautiful buildings…



…and small gnomes.



This was the bell tower.



What a wonderful view of the skyline of Perth!

It was our last day in Australia. The plane will start late in the evening, so we had time to visit the zoo. It seemed to be too hot in the sun for the penguins.



I learnt a lot about penguins from all over the world.



There were beautiful birds.



And I was impressed by these tall birds.





Prickly companions slept here.



Of course there had to be kangaroos.



This was a strange tree.



Do you know Numbats? We rode on one.





This tree was funny – the fruits looked like sausages.



A friendly turtle brought us to the airport. It was a wonderful holiday in Australia.

Hello friends,

Back in Germany I took a trip to the wonderful town Quedlinburg. There were many timbered houses here - we lived in one of it.



There was a funny monument – Stoker and I loved it.





I liked the old houses here.



This one was beautiful!



There was a wall around the old city.



Then we visited the Christmas Market.



Look – the town hall.





This church was funny – with two different towers.



I walked through small streets…



…and found more nice houses…







A beautiful town!



Back in our holiday home we found a nice Christmas tree.

We knew that there was a nice Castle here. We wanted to see it. On our way we crossed a big place with many nice houses.







Hey, we found the Castle.



First we went into the church.





The Castle looked really nice.





What a great Castle.



We went into the Castle Garden and had a wonderful view over the town.





I liked it here!

Merry Christmas!

But first I have to show you our nice Nikolaus-Tag. We got a wonderful gift from Murph.



Wow – what a lot of chocolate!



Thanks Murph!



Now it was time for Christmas. We met our old friends Snowy and Rudi.



What will be in this great parcel?



Time to open it!





Wonderful!



The left gift was for us!



We had to open it.



Wonderful postcards!



Thanks a lot!

Hello friends,

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



This small lake looked beautiful.



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.

Hello friends,

I am on the way to Amrum Island. There was the ferry that will bring us to Amrum.



Behind it you can see the other ferry that is on the way to Föhr now.



But first we watched some Kite-Surfers.



People are working here - fishermen.



But I was here for holidays – there was the Schleswig-Holstein.



We will start at 3:05.



I was on the ferry.



I saw Amrum – it was very windy.





Behind me you can see a holm.



But I want to visit Amrum!
