Hi everyone,

yesterday I have heard in the radio that we had only one hour of sunshine in Hamburg until now. And indeed it was cloudy or rainy every day.
But today the sun was shining a little bit. The perfect time for a walk.

First we crossed the river Alster.


On the other side of the bridge they are building a new lock with a fish ladder :-)




This is a prison - a place I never want to see from the inside. It is called Santa Fu and probably the most famous prison in Germany because many people escaped in the 70s and 80s. But no fear - I am a well behaved TV.


This is a very funny tower. First I thougt it is a lighthouse. But we are not by the sea. Hmmmmm.... we learned it is a radar tower for the nearby airport.


As we were near by we decided to visit the airport.


Look how many destinations the german airways Lufthansa flys to directly from Hamburg. Maybe some new ideas where I can travel to?


Back at home we had to say good bye to Alex. He will go to the USA. We all gave him a big hug.




All the very best

Hi everyone,

after a mild beginning it is now freezing in Hamburg with a little bit of snow. We decided to take a walk and enjoy the ice and snow in the Alstertal (Alster valley).
Look at me skidding on the ice.




From a bridge we had a nice view of the Alster river.


Then it was time for a rest on this tree trunk.




We found this tree to play in.




Look, I found this nice spot to watch the river from.




Unbelievable! There are some mad people canoeing on the river.


What a great afternoon out!

All the very best

Hi everyone,

Today a new TV arrived. His name is Alberto.


He showed us his welcome presents and we and we had a lot to chat about.




And we had a great surprise for Alberto: on wednesday we will fly to Malaga for a few days :-) A visit to his home country! So we studied the travel guide.


Look at this funny pair, we showed Alberto

Hi everyone,

Hola from Andalucia!
Yesterday we flew from Hamburg to Mallorca and from Mallorca to Malaga - all in one morning! And now we are in Andalucia.
Today we had a rental car and drove to Ojen near Marbella. It is one of the white villages and really beautiful.




The weather is fantastic - so we decided to take sunbath.


Look, this is a steep path down the mountain. But we prefered to drive down. 


Then we went to a small beach café by the sea. What a great life in January!


The Mediteranian sea, a beach and beach café - what could be better?






We had a great day! But now we are tired and are enjoying our hotel room. See me with my friends.

Hi everyone,

another sunny day on the costa del sol. Today we wanted to explore the harbour of Malaga.
But first we saw the main shopping street and the cathedral of Malaga.




On our way we saw this nice garden along the street.


This was our first view of the harbour with the lighthouse and a big sailing boat in the background.


I liked this water fountains on the newly renovated waterfront.


Oh look, this a high speed catamaran ferry to Tenerife.


How beautiful - an old seaman chapel and some orange trees.


See me in front of a really beautiful old dutch sailing boat.


Here you can see the lighthouse.


And because of the nice weather we visited the beach of Malaga.




When we came back to our hotel we explored the swimming pool on the top of our hotel. Life can be so wonderful!


All the very best

Hi everyone,
another sonny day on the Costa del Sol.
This is the Malaga market hall.


The back entrance has very colourful glas!


Look we found the Picasso museum. Picasso, one the most famous painters of the world, was born in Malaga.


There is an old castle overlooking Malaga.


See me in front of the bull fighting arena of Malaga - Olé!




Look. this carousel is very funny, isn't it! Which saucer should I ride?


This is the town hall of Malaga.


On our way back to our hotel we past the back of the cathedral. I could not resist taking another photo.

Hi everyone,

another sunny day on the Costa del Sol. But today is our last day in Malaga.
To enjoy the lovely sunshine we had a coffee in a café on the harbour promenade.




Then it was time to catch our flight back to Hamburg. See me on flight AB2587 from Malaga to Hamburg - sundown over spanish airspace!


Then like good TV's should we red the flight safety instructions.


See me enjoying the flight with good food, music and something to read.






Now we are back in cold Hamburg.
All the very best

Hi everyone,

it has been quiet a long time since the last update. But the weather has been very bad.
We have decided to see the town of Hamburg as soon as the sun comes out. For friday the weather forecast is great and Scilly and Richy have a weeks holiday. And we take lot of lovely photos next week.

For the moment I am looking forward for spring. See me playing with the daffodils.


All the very best

Hi everyone,

the sun is back in Hamburg. And we decided to visit the harbour.
Look at me in front of the so called „Landungsbrücken“ where the harbour boat trips starts.


These are some typical boats for boat trips.


You also can use this kind of boat. It is build like a paddle steamer.


Behind me you can see the old fish market hall of Hamburg Altona. Nowadays there are a lot of events in this hall and every sunday the famous fish market.


We had the idea to take a ferry and enjoy the sun on the water.
Please see some of the Hamburg docks with ships in it .






What a nice view from Hamburg!






The white ship behind me ist he „Cap San Diego“ – a general cargo vessel in former times, now a museum ship. You also can see the „Elbphilarmonie“ – a concert all which  should be ready in 2016


See me in front of the „Rickmer Rickmers“ – an very old sailing boat and now also a museum.


All the very best from a sunny Hamburg

Hi everyone,

today we went on a trip to Sylt – an island in the north of Germany. It is famous for ist endless beach.
After a nice train ride we arrived on the island.


Look at the beautiful beach. We took a long walk .










Look here, the wavebreaker in the background makes a nice photo.


After the walk we  were hungry and had a little lunch in the dunes.


On the way back we saw the town hall.


We had a nice day. Hope you all enjoy the pictures.

Hi everyone,

after a sunny week suddenly it began to snow this afternoon.
I decided I must go out and enjoy it. Look at the lovely pictures I took.

Hi everyone,

today we had sunshine - a good opportunity to visit the town center. See me in front of the town hall.


We could't see the mayor. But we had the possibility to go in to the entrance hall.


This is the courtyard of the town hall with this nice fountain. Look us playing with the fountain sculptures.






This canal is called the little Alster. It is situated between the town hall and the Alsterlake.




This was our first view from the Alster lake with some white Alster boats.


We decided to enjoy the sun with a cup of hot chocolate and a view over somes boats and the Alsterlake.


The Alsterlake is really beautiful. With these whites boats you can explore the town on the water.

Hi everyone,

it is still very cold in Germany. But today we had a lot of sunshine. So we decided to go to Bergedorf - a district of Hamburg.
Look, we found this nice half-timber church.


And it was a surprise to find this little castle with moat around it. I liked it very much.
