Travelog for: Mirembe

It's me again. This day was our last day in Crimea. We came to the main railway station beforehand. And walked around it, while were waiting.

The main clock of city.



Station buildings.



Near we found a little park with wood sculpture. They were funny sometimes.







We at our train already.







I saw a piece of the Black sea at parting.



Then we had a tea. A glass-holder was with gulls. And went to sleep.




When I woke up next morning, we were in Kiyev already. 

Hello! Today was day of last buyings and preparations before my departure and my host too (she is going home). This morning we went to railway station to buy tickets for Katusha. And then to buy an envelope for me. On the way we saw The People’s Friendship Arch. It is sooo big! And in the night it shines as a rainbow.





We bought big cup for my host's Dad, sets of cards with Crimean and Kiyev views for friends, wax pencils and lemur YooHoo for their little kids.



We veiwed postcards a long time. They were very nice!



Then we decided to choose a postcard for my next host.



"With mermaid, I think, will be great!" - MokoMoko offered. And I agreed with him.



Then, when everything was prepared, all my friends here came to say goodbye to me.



It was very touching. And MokoMoko even became upset a little.









But when Katusha promised to cook his favourite banana pancakes, he cheered up!  He so food-driven.



So tomorrow we will go for some sweeties for my new host, then to the post office. And I'll set out on my further journey.

Bye, Mommy! I'll write you already from Germany.

Hallo Mum,

good news  - I arrived in Germany and went out of my envelope.



Murph waited for me – he will be my host here.

   

I told Murph that there was more in the envelope and we both had a look.



I brought sweets and a wonderful postcard for Murph. 



Thanks Katusha - Murph and Hobi were very happy to get it

After the long travel in the small envelope I wanted to stretch my legs. Murph showed me the spa gardens in Bad Salzdetfurth.



There were two Salines in the Spa gardens. In the Past people used them to make salt.







Today the people are not working here, they sit in front of the Salines and enjoy the healthy air. Of course we tried it out.



   

We saw many colorful and really beautiful flowers!

   





It was so hot today! So we made a rest in this pavilion.



Bad Salzdetfurth is an old mining-town. Everywhere in the town you can find mining equipment.





   

Murph is a funny guy – I am sure that we will have a lot of fun together.

Love
Mirembe

Hello Mum,

Today a big envelope arrived. Maybe it was Jujube? The poor guy was on his way to Murph for 8 weeks now. We kept our fingers crossed.



Of course we opened the envelope. And who came out of the envelope?...



… Jujube! He made it!!!



We were all very happy, and then he told us about his horrible time. He spent weeks in the customs.



Of course he wanted to go out, after the long trip. He loves flowers. Murph and I went to the spa gardens on Friday – and we knew that there were a lot of nice flowers. So we all went to the gardens.



I didn’t see this owl on Friday – she is beautiful, isn’t it?

Then we found a cozy place in a tree – can you find me?



I relaxed and had a look at Jujube. He jumped from one flower to the other and looked so happy!



We tried to follow him…



…but then we decided to search a nice place and wait for him.



Suddenly Jujube called us. He loved this lower – and it was really pretty. So I wanted my own photo, too.



Finally we all sat together in the Pavilion and talked a lot!



Bye

Hi Mum,

today we went to Lamspinge. There is a big park with a nice playground.

Here you can see the Abbey, where the park belongs to.



In this park the Lamme starts – the little river, that flows through Bad Salzdetfurth. 



There was a big roll on the playground. Unfortunately it is full of graffiti.



But there was a wonderful slide.





We wanted to use the seesaw, but Jujube was too big, so it didn't work.



The ride on the ropeway was so funny.



Then we had a rest on this roll.



At the end we found this beautiful water wheel.



We had so much fun.

Many greetings

Hi Mum,

Today we drove to Hildesheim and visited the rosarium there. In front of the rosarium we found these two palm trees – it was like being on holiday.





This is the entrance to the Magdalenengarten.



Of course we found many beautiful flowers.



And there was a wonderful sundial.



We took a rest and enjoyed the sunshine.



I loved this rose most.



Now I wanted to show you a photo of the whole garden.



There were many statues.



This pavilion is in the middle of the park.





Hildesheim is the rose–town. This flower is named after Hildesheim.



At the entrance there was a funny collection box. Bine tried to put me into it, but fortunately I was too big. 



What a beautiful garden!

Many greetings

Mirembe

Hello Mum,

Today we went to Hildesheim again. Murph wanted to show us his famous places.

Here you see the „Kehrwiederturm“



This is a beautiful street with many frame houses.



This wonderful fountain is a memory for a Jewish synagogue.



There are nice paintings on this house.





This Statue shows the indian goddess Shiva



Can you see, what is there in front of her feet?



On our way back we passed a field full of flowers. HoBi had to stop, because we wanted to make photos with the flowers.





As a nice last photo I chose this beautiful sunflower.



Many greetings

Hi Mum,

Shush! It is a secret! It will be Murph’s birthday tomorrow. Jujube and I prepared everything. First we wrapped our gift for him.










Then we decorated the room and the table.










Then we decorated the room and the table.



I hope that Murph will love it. Will tell you more about the party!

See you tomorrow

Hi Mum,

Today it is Murph’s birthday. He reveived a nice card from his best friend Dicker Kumpel.



We sang a wonderful birthday song for Murph.



Then he blew out the candles.



We gave him our gift.



He unwrapped it  - and he was so happy about the great game.





We had coffee and a cake.





Then we played ‚hit the pot‘. It was so funny!



First I went into the wrong direction.



But then I found the pot.



I won sweets!!!



What a wonderful birthday party!



Many greetings

Hi Mum,

Yesterday we made a nice trip to Derneburg.

Here you can see the Castle of Derneburg.


We walked along the Lavespfad.



First we went along this wonderful Lake.





This house was really beautiful.



Then we saw old houses of fishermen.



We went into the forest and found an old teahouse.



We had to go upstairs. It was exhausting.



At the End of the stairs we found this:



A pyramid – in the middle of Germany – in the middle of a forest – it was great!

Today Jujube wanted to travel to the next host. We searched a nice postcard for her.



Then we said good-bye to Jujube…



And she jumped into her envelope.



Have a good and safe trip Jujube.

Many greetings
Mirembe

Hi Mum,

tomorrow I will travel to Essen.

But today I wanted to go into the forest with Murph. We wanted to search mushrooms. Then this happened! The sky was very dark – it looked like some rain soon.



But we really wanted to go into the forest. We asked Bine, if she would allow us to go. She thought about it – then she had the great idea! Bine had rain capes for us.



So we were able to start!



And we found wonderful mushrooms. A beefsteak fungus.



and a famous  Maitake – Hen oft he woods



Here we had a short rest.



We found this wonderful red mushroom. Wasn't it beautiful? It was a Conical wax cap.



On the way home we had sunshine....



At home we searched for a nice postcard.



Then I said goodbye to Murph.



And I jumped into my envelope.



Essen – I am coming!

Love
Mirembe

HELLO???? Anyone out there???



Oh, seems like I am with my new host now ! Cool. Hello!



As you can see I am not alone. Really great. I hope we will have a good time.



Me and the postcard I brought with me.

I hope the weather will get better soon. It is raining and BlackCat doesn't know if we will go somewhere while it rains like this.

Greetings,
Mirembe

Today we want to show you a recipe. We really hope you enjoy watching us cooking and maybe you will try it at home as well?

What you need?

Noodles


Bolognese sauce (2 glasses)


One cup cream


Grated cheese (BlackCat uses Emmentaler) One package (here 200grams)


Okay, let’s start the cooking.

Preheat the oven on 180°C upper and lower heat.


Please cook the noodles as long as they need (normally 10 minutes). In the time while the noodles are cooking, you can mix the Bolognese sauce with the cream.




When the noodles are ready, get them out of the pot.


Now you put the noodles in a casserole and put the sauce mix on it. Mix it.


Put the cheese on it.


And now the casserole needs 15 minutes in the oven.


Here you see how it looks in the oven.


After 15 minutes it is ready!


Now, enjoy your meal!

Today was a nice and sunny day. But BlackCat promised a friend to visit a pet shop with her. A special pet shop, as they have a lot animals there, normal pet shops don’t even sell. So we went with her and had a look at all those animals.

There were chameleons, prairie dogs and other animals. But see yourself.













And we found some other cuddly toys. But they were hanging around and not really talkative.



Love,
Mirembe

Today a new voyager arrived at BlackCats house. He is called Grouchy and is mumbling the whole time. We will try to make it a nice time for him, but I guess he doesn’t want to…we’ll see.
