Travelog for: Mr.Shaun

We went geocaching today! Well we tried to go anyhow. We went to check on one Tera's family has hidden and then it was too late to go anywhere else..opps!

This is the log the cache is hidden in.



The Kalamazoo River.



Us TV's were being very naughty and would not behave for a nice group shot with the river...this is the best one Tera could get!

We went on a field trip to Fredrick Meijer Gardens. www.meijergardens.org for their Christmas display. Here is some information on it from the website.

Excitement surrounds us this time of year as Christmas and Holiday Traditions Around the World brings the glow of 300,000 lights, strolling carolers, horse-drawn carriage rides and more than 40 international trees and displays. A new feature this year is the redesign of the Diwali display honoring the Hindu Festival of Lights, along with the enhancement of Nativity displays including the new-to-the-exhibition Polish szopka.

Let me tell you it was beautiful!!! Really amazing.

Sorry for the blurry picture here but this is the Germany tree with the nutcrackers underneath.



This is a huge cactus in the arid garden. Don't worry I didn't get close enough to get poked!



This church was in the train room. Everything on this church (and in the room) was made from natural materials. This church took over 200 hours to make.



There had to have been hundreds of these poinsettias! This is a traditional Christmas flower.


It was a great day!

Hello all my friends at home,

after I've spent enough time here, I've thought it is time to come home,  unfortunately, Tera has not time,  so I had to come up with another way to come to Germany.
Since I'm a clever sheep I had an idea, I take the Queen Mary from New York to Hamburg.

To earn the trip, I'll sing in the piano bar.

keep the fingers crossed

Mr.Shaun

Hello,

It worked, I'm on the Queen Mary.......I´`m seasick
sadly there are no photos of the trip

love from the pale Mr.Shaun

Hello at home,

Finally I arrived in Hamburg, the last piece of the trip I'll make hitchhiking.
Dr. Kröbner, and all my friends at home ..... I'm on my way.

Love
Mr.Shaun

He folks,
it´s no easy task for a little sheep as me to hitchhike!!! Most of the drivers doesn´t take a notice of me at the roadside!!!!

But after a while I managed it to tumb a diesel down. The friendly trucker with eagleeyes brought me homeward till the neighborhood of Celle in lower saxony.

There I met a black sheep. It was unhappy because all the other sheeps in the flock (they where white) don´t want to play with it.
So we put together and I finished the last miles on a sheeps back… It was a new great experience. After a 2-Day ride I saw the Sign: DELLIGSEN…..  finally after month, lost in the world, I´m back home! Jeah, the is the entry-door….





Ring the bell…. HALLO DR: KRÖBNER, I´S ME, SHAUN!!!!





Oh what a farewell, Philly,B.o.B., Mr.Lemony and Dr.Kröbner arranged a offhanded Party in the garden under a new tropical tree,we talked about my adventures



now I must relax in my deckchair, a souvenir of the eventmanager from the Queen Mary for my great piano playing



I`m soooooo happy

love
Mr.Shaun

Australia I`m coming 

I HAVE ARRIVED DOWN UNDER

Pictures soon!

Love Mr Shaun

Hi Mum,

Here I am!!! I have arrived and am safe and happy but very hot!!


Sue says thank you for the chocolate - I was very good and didn't eat it on the way!! 



Today I met Cyril - he lives here and is a mature aged sheep! He is going to come to New Zealand with us -he says young sheep like me need to have a chaperone when they travel???? Mmmmmm..might have to have a talk about that! Anyway I got to meet Tupai the chow chow - he was resting and feeling the heat - is 38 degrees here today! Phew!! Cold drink needed I think!


Today I also met Kali, Dottie Mouse and Tica - it was hello goodbye to Dottie Mouse she is heading back to Germany today! 



Me and Cyril having a chat - I think he might be a distant relation Mum....do we have family already in Australia Mum? Maybe he is a distant cousin? We might have to look into the family tree!

Well Mum, we are off to New Zealand tomorrow..the Land of the Long White Cloud and many sheep - I hope I meet some Kiwi sheep!! Lots of photos when we get back

Love and hugs
Mr Shaun

PS Cyril says hello! 

Hi Mum,

Today we went to the airport to get on the plane and we found another TV - his name is Napoleon and he said he was teleported here from Chile!!! Wow! Have you heard of that Mum....I might like to try that one day! 

Here we are at the airport



Here we are on the plane - not much to see from the window


More soon
Love and hugs
Mr Shaun

Hi Mum,

Today we are heading out of Auckland along the motorway - it isn't called a freeway in New Zealand!  It is nice and green here after the brown of Australia




Next stop soon Mum, no sheep so far!! 

Love and hugs
Mr Shaun

PS Someone took the corner too fast and I nearly fell over!! 

Hi Mum,

We have stopped at Paeroa - this town is "World Famous in New Zealand" for the mineral water drink made here - it is fresh mineral water from under ground and lemon juice - today it s made by the coca cola company, but it is tradition here to have your photo taken by the big bottle!






Off down the road now
Love and hugs
Mr Shaun
xxooxx

We are now between Paeroa and Waihi and have stopped to look at the river and the swing bridge - this area was really busy with gold mining back in the 1800's, you can still find the old workings and tunnels back in the hills




here I am in a native rimu tree - it's a bit spiky!!

More soon
Love and hugs
Mr Shaun

Hi Mum,

I have found a pohutukawa tree in flower near the beach - it is known as the New Zealand Christmas tree here, if it flowers in November that means a long hot summer


Love and hugs
