Look, we celebrated the 1st advent.

I am soooo happy!!!
I met Santa Clause at the weekend.
I told him I like chocolate...

...and so I got a big chocolate ball and little chocolate Santa Clauses 

So, today I will go home and take some chocolate to my mummy
So, goodbye Bietigheim-Bissingen...

Hey Folks!
Today I arrived at home. I had such a great time at my host's homes.

As soon as I came in my mommy showed me the Advent calendar and I was allowed to open the bag for today. Look what was in it.

Today it is 3. Advent.
Mommy had a huge surprise for me. She told me where my next trip goes...
..
...
ITALY
...yeah...
...
I can't really say if I'm happy or not. On the one side I would love to celebrate christmas with my family - on the other side I can't wait to see how christmas gets celebrated in Italy. On Tuesday my journey starts.

on my way... can't wait to arrive 

I'm still travelling and it's so dark inside this envelope.
Mommy what did you do with me? I wanna get out here  I don't want to spend christmas at a post station...

Hello!
Finally I arrived in Italy, but unfortunately I missed the Christmas day. But I took comfort in climbing the Christmastree! 

Hello there!
Today I would go skiing, but it's foul weather. So my host took me for a walk on the mountain, called "Rosskopf". It was very cold and windy. On my way I saw a little cottage. Maybe there lives a witch inside? Later I tried to drive around with a snowmobile.

Last week the weather was foul. I hope next week it will be better. Today my host took me for another walk in a forest. I had a lot of fun in the snow and I looked around and I saw many beautiful mountains.

Hello there!
Today it snowed again here in Sterzing. I went out in the garden and there I played with the snow until It got quite cold. 

Hello there!
Today my host took me to a very small village near Sterzing, called Mareit. There i saw the castle "Schloss Wolfsthurn". In the castle there is a museum of hunting. I also saw beautiful mountains, who are covered by snow. In Mareit it was very cold, windy and shady.

Hi folks.
I have arrived already!
Here just two quick pics of the reception.
Miss Zwie-Tea and Mr.Zwie-Mueller talked to me on the big sofa.
Sine I was  not expected today there was only a soft drink and a jelly banana. Yummmmy anyway !

More news soon.

Hi folks,
today i awoke in my hotel room No.102.
It is the same that Private slept, but has the new carpet and a new picture on the wall.
The painting is from Daniel Authouart, a famous french Pop-Art artist, and shows the NY Time Square. There are so much details you can not see on the Photo. James Stewart is kissing Kim Nowak and Alfred Hitchcock is watching. There are so many people and cars in the scene and in the front are some cartoons from Fritz the Cat doing things...

Later Blue Zwie-Brat came by showing her new sledge, wanting to go on a ride with me, but look at the weather :
It's raining cats and dogs.
She looks kind of funny, like a Henson creature from the muppet show.

Then the two Bavarian Lions told me that snow is only in the Alps, what is far to far to go today.

So Blue Zwie-Brat decided to show how to cook "Rheinischer Sauerbraten". It has been in the marinade for some days and had to be stewed for over two hours with red wine, vegetables and Pumpernickel. You see that on the pic. But at first it had been roasted in corniness.
In the evening we make the sauce and dumplings.
In addition there is German Beer.
The beer should be Kölsch and the original recipe was horsemeat but we'll have Pils and beef.
It'll taste very yummmy also.

More news soon.
