Travelog post for: Knut

Hi again,
I had such a great day at the "Tropical Islands" with my host Marie and her family yesterday. Before we started our trip I helped to pack the bags and then I went into my own bag. During the whole drive I was so excited because I didn't know exactly what would await me. Sometime I saw a big hall out of the bus window. Marie told me that this hall used to be a dockjard for airships. But the company which wanted to pruduce these airships became broke and then somebody had the idea to build the "Tropical Islands Resort" in it .
When we got of the bus it was very cold outside. Actually the perfect temperature for a polar bear like me but I wanted to get warm again . And my wish became true. Inside the hall it was so warm and the hall was really big and high. And not only that: It really looked like I were in a tropical forest. Tropical plants everywhere and two big swimming pools: the "Southsea" and the "Lagoon". Later I even saw a golf course and waterslides.
But first I wanted to explore the tropical forest. I saw many beautiful plants, little lakes and (wooden and some living) animals.
Then we all went swimming and Marie's little sister taught me how to swim .
Swimming makes hungry and so we ate a delicious pizza, YUM.
By now I was a bit exhausted but that was no problem. I could relax on the beach and on another little lake with koi fishes inside .
Later I enjoyed a cocktail and when I looked up I saw a hot-air balloon! Some people were inside the gondola and looked down at me, amazing .
We stayed at the "Tropical Islands" till 9:00pm. When it got dark, the masks which were at some of the walls were glowing. That looked very cool.
Then the time came to go home. I was a bit sad about it but I was so tired that I only wanted to go to bed. Besides, I got a souvenir: a little pin which is now on my scarf. So I can always remember at the beautiful time I had here .
