Hi Mummy,
we met Katja's friend Erika today to take a walk together. We picked up Erika at her house. Erika is living in the district "Hasten", one of the oldest districts in the municipal area. You can find lots of typical "Bergische Häuser" here, usually half-timbered houses or those which are covered with slate.
We walked through a garden area, I saw blackberries here, not ripe yet.
I have a new furry friend now, his name is "Lumpi".
We walked towards the forest than.
In the garden of this house I found parts of historic machines.
We reached the forest than.
I saw some trail markings here. Katja explained that the encircled "R" and "W" mean hiking routes around the cities of Remscheid and Wuppertal, about 59 and 110 km long. The other marks are marking shorter hiking trails, usually between 5 and 15 km long.
This is a fish pond.
We rested on this pile of tree trunks for a while.
We decided to walk back home than. This did not mean that we would be home within a few minutes. First we had to walk back to the bottom of the valley and than walk back uphill to the city centre, we would still need at least 45 minutes to get home.
We saw old factory buildings when we crossed the road in the valley.
We walked through a hamlet where I found beautiful flowers.
What a lovely old house!
When we walked towards the city centre we had to walk uphill for ages, like it seemed to me.
This is a small park, situated in front of the police headquarter.
This column in the park is dedicated to the town twinning with Quimper in France.
When we walked home Katja told me that she will visit the ferret shelter tomorrow and maybe she will bring a third ferret home. I will show you the ferrets soon although I am a little bit afraid of them. I know that ferrets love to eat small prey animals.
Bye
Bussi
