Today I have had a trip to nice little towns.
Early in the morning we started to Leer. My host mother and my host brother wanted to go for shopping.
I made some exciting experiences.
I sat on a tea pot from a statue. It was very scary in the beginning. In the background on the right side you can see the Bünting tea museum. Tea is be drunken every day in this area here. Every East Frisian drinks a lot of tea every year!
On the second picture you can see a typical little street in the historic center of Leer. There were nice little houses.
At the third photo I´m on a bridge in Leer and you can see the city and the Ems river behind me. I was scared to fall down, but I have been calm down when I saw that the river was completely frozen and covered with snow. A few minutes later the snow felt again, on my head also. It was very funny to feel this cold powder on me.
I´ve found some new friends. They look a little bit frightening, but they only wanted to get some food, especially bread. They call ducks. And they are not much bigger than me, hahahahaha.
Then I have had the biggest experience of my little life! They brought me into a train. Because my host family wanted to travel to another city, called Emden. Buhuuuuu, I cried a lot and wanted to sit on the lap of someone when train left the station.
Then you can see a picture of me in front of the town hall of Emden. There is a carillon outside. Very nice! And on this street we have seen a bad accident later the day. Two cars crashed, I was crying of fear!
In Emden is also "dat Otto Huus", which means "the Otto house". Otto is a very, very famous comedian in Germany and he was born in Emden. At first I have been very scared about the elephant, that looked at me all the time. But it´s only a funny elephant, drawn by Otto and also very famous. It´s name is "Ottifant" from OTTo and eleFANT.
The doll is a little sculpture of Otto, hahahaha. Maybe someone knows him?
In the evening I was really tired and slept very early!!!
