Noisy Posted Dec 21, 2011, 7:52 pm	SNOW! I have made a "snow-angel". Can you see it at the photo?
Noisy Posted Dec 21, 2011, 8:16 pm	I made a long walk with my mom, her dog and Tiplitaps. It was cold, sunny, cloudy, windy...just like a typical day in November.
Noisy Posted Dec 21, 2011, 8:21 pm	Mom was at the attic and has found some furnitures just for us TVs! We have to sort and to clean them, but I think they are looking very nice! Maybe we get some more furnitures on Christmas eve!
Noisy Posted Dec 21, 2011, 8:23 pm	My mom's daughter * is she my sister??? * celebrates her 13th birthday tomorrow. We helped with baking some cakes for her.
Noisy Posted Dec 21, 2011, 8:37 pm	Mom read us the fairytale "Sterntaler" There was once upon a time a little girl whose father and mother were dead, and she was so poor that she no longer had a room to live in, or bed to sleep in, and at last she had nothing else but the clothes she was wearing and a little bit of bread in her hand which some charitable soul had given her. She was good and pious, however. And as she was thus forsaken by all the world, she went forth into the open country, trusting in the good God. Then a poor man met her, who said, "Ah, give me something to eat, I am so hungry." She handed him the whole of her piece of bread, and said, "May God bless you," and went onwards. Then came a child who moaned and said, "My head is so cold, give me something to cover it with." So she took off her hood and gave it to him. And when she had walked a little farther, she met another child who had no jacket and was frozen with cold. Then she gave it her own, and a little farther on one begged for a frock, and she gave away that also. At length she got into a forest and it had already become dark, and there came yet another child, and asked for a shirt, and the good little girl thought to herself, "It is a dark night and no one sees you, you can very well give your shirt away," and took it off, and gave away that also. And as she so stood, and had not one single thing left, suddenly some stars from heaven fell down, and they were nothing else but hard smooth pieces of money, and although she had just given her shirt away, she had a new one which was of the very finest linen. Then she put the money into it, and was rich all the days of her life. ...and we made many stars out of paper.
Noisy Posted Dec 23, 2011, 7:10 am	Today I looked around at my mom's farm. When I came in, I saw the pm of beelicious who ask for me to visit her and  -schwupps- I hopped into the box for travelling to her. I really hope, that I will reach her home before Christmas eve.
beelicious Posted Dec 28, 2011, 2:52 pm	Hi mum! What a trip! Unfortunately I didn't manage to be before Christmas with my host-family. I had to wait five days for my liberation. But now, I'm fine  ! Here are two other TV's. Sir James (the white bear is from Heiligenhaus near Essen) and Rapunzel (the little honeybee is from Switzerland). I think I'll have fun here! My host-mom says thanks for the gifts sent. And I say thank you for the beautiful star chain! You have promised me a flock of sheep. And here it is: Their names are: Stinker, Shirly and Betty. Then the neighbor's dog came over to say hello. My host-mum don't know her name. She calls her "Oma" (grandma), because she is a very old dog. Love and kisses, Boofle
beelicious Posted Jan 2, 2012, 9:01 am	Hi! Today was a very windy day. We stayed inside and played ("Settler of Catan" and "Jaipur" ). Beautiful orchid: Bye, Boffle
beelicious Posted Jan 7, 2012, 10:18 am	Hello everybody! We had a small but nice new year's eve celebration! Our neighbours Oli and Ines were with us. We made pizza. Yummie :-)! Sir James, Boffle and I had much to do! I was able to cut the eggs..... HELP  ! Better... Together we rolled out the dough. Done! There was punch and chips. I'm a very funny guy  ! And then it was midnight... HAPPY NEW YEAR! Party!!! I wish all TV's and their friends a happy new year! Bye, Boofle
beelicious Posted Jan 7, 2012, 5:45 pm	Are we twins  ???
beelicious Posted Jan 10, 2012, 8:10 am	Oh what a Sunday morning... I slept peacefully as I was dragged roughly into bright light ... What time is it? 7.33??? What the hell I'm doing on a dark, rainy Sunday morning? We travel by car and then stopping at this house. It is the "Meister Bär Altstadt Hotel" (Master Bear Oldcity hotel) in Hassfurt. Oh, there is a delicious breakfast buffet! There are tea, juice, eggs, cheese, salmon, croissants, delicious fruit etc..... It was sooo yummie  ! Greetings, Boofle
beelicious Posted Jan 10, 2012, 8:12 am	"TV-Gaststätte" means "TV-Restaurant"... Wow! A Restaurant only for us??? This is determined by ordinary people, and TV stands for television. These poor ignorant people  ....
beelicious Posted Jan 12, 2012, 11:52 am	Hello! Today was an exciting day! First, the postman brought a small package. Sir James, Rapunzel and I were very curious. What is inside? Hello? Is anyone there? Look, it's BineHH! Her home is near Hamburg, and now she comes to us from Dortmund. She really is a sweet little crab! Then our host mum told us that we will go to the theater tonight! We see "Rain Main" (like the movie). That will be fun!
beelicious Posted Jan 12, 2012, 12:26 pm	Hello again! We arrived in Schweinfurt at the theater. Tonight we see on stage, "Rain Main". Even the theater is empty, but it will be fully determined yet! The theater lasted 2 hours and then we had  hunger. We went to an Indian restaurant called "Maharadscha". We ate "Sabji Pakora" (fried vegetables with mint yoghurt). For main courses there was "Palak Murgh" (chicken with spinach). The Indian spices were delicious! It was a very nice day! Love and kisses, Boofle
beelicious Posted Jan 16, 2012, 12:18 pm	Hello! Do you know what my hosts have just told me? We leave tomorrow on a trip to Cologne! There we go into the late-night -Show "Harald Schmidt Show" (a German moderator). There is also another surprise, but it will not tell us ... We even stay away overnight. We are all excited like that! Greetings, Boofle
beelicious Posted Jan 20, 2012, 9:17 am	Hello! All there? We are ready! We travel to Cologne! Was our first trip a little bit boring, but we drove past the airport of Frankfurt. He is so huge! We saw some planes land and take off.
beelicious Posted Jan 20, 2012, 9:19 am	In Siegburg (a small town near Cologne), we had a hotel room. The hotel was called "Kasserrolle". There we make our fresh and then drove to Cologne for the "Harald Schmidt Show".
beelicious Posted Jan 20, 2012, 9:22 am	Here is the television station SAT 1. And here you see the entrance to the show. Unfortunately we were not allowed into the studio...  So we've done a photo with the painting by Harald Schmidt. After the show it was a little surprise. We rode in a car-cinema! We saw the German film "Offroad". The movie was quite ok. It was almost midnight when we finally were at the hotel. We slept like one too ....
beelicious Posted Jan 20, 2012, 6:39 pm	The next day... This morning was very cold! We snuggled into the warm blanket. After breakfast we drove to Cologne. BineHH: Where is the cathedral? Sir James: Well, over there he is! Me: I see I have not even .... Rapunzel: I see him, I see him. BineHH: Yes, I too now! Me: He's so big! From here I had a nice view of the Cologne Cathedral. These three buildings are very modern flats behind me. They should look like old cranes on the Rhine. Behind me is the great railway bridge over the Rhine. We wanted to take the cable car over the Rhine, but unfortunately it didn't work. Then we made our way home.
beelicious Posted Jan 20, 2012, 6:40 pm	We saw airplanes again...
beelicious Posted Jan 20, 2012, 6:42 pm	On the way home I thought to myself: It was really a very nice trip! Our hosts told us that we go away again next week for a few days ... I'm curious where we go! Bye, Boofle
beelicious Posted Jan 28, 2012, 4:40 pm	Hello! Today we were  in Wuerzburg again and we had a little more time to take pictures. This is the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the baroque residence and Franconiafountain. It was built from 1719 - 1744 Here I am on the Main. Behind me is the "Old Crane". This is the fortress 'Marienberg'. It was built around 1200. This is the church "Kaeppele" (Chapel). She was built vom 1748 - 1750 from Balthasar Neumann. This is the "Alte Mainbrücke" (Old Main Bridge). A lion from the Ludwigs-Bridge. A view over Wuerzburg. Greetings, Boofle
beelicious Posted Jan 29, 2012, 2:00 pm	Hello! Today we packed our bags! But my hosts did't tell me where we go .... I see nothing! Too much fog ... Here is a little snow. Where could we be? And here is yet more snow! We are in the beautiful Upper-Bavaria! This is our home for the next few days - the hotel "Alter Hof"  in Vaterstetten near Munich. We  have a bed for us alone! In the afternoon we visited relatives of my host mother in Munich: Aunt Gerda is a 86 year old lady and Uncle Bruno and his wife Gerlinde. Tomorrow we take a trip to the mountains! Bye, Boofle
beelicious Posted Jan 29, 2012, 3:10 pm	Winter-Wonderland-Tour Without words - so beautiful! Then we drove to  "Starnberger See". This house is in Irschenhausen. It is known, because it is in the German crime series "Der Bulle von Toelz" (The cop from Toelz). A typical Bavarian  house. Here I'm at the "Tegernsee". Do you see the colorful balloons? And this is the "Schliersee". Behind me is the peak of the mountain "Wendelstein". He is 1838 meters high. Isn't that a beautiful winter landscape? Behind me you see the mountain "Wilder Kaiser" and the "Kaiser Mountains" in Austria. Here we are at the "Chiemsee",  also called the "Bavarian Sea". The gull is hopefully nice to us... On the way home we see children go sleigh. We are all very tired after this long day ... But we still enjoy the setting sun. Love, Boofle
beelicious Posted Jan 29, 2012, 3:17 pm	Today we are unfortunately already gone back home ... We stopped briefly in Munich. It was very cold and there was freezing rain ... This is the "Chinese Tower" in the English Garden. The television tower. And the Olympic Stadium in 1972. The Soccer Station "Allianz Arena".
beelicious Posted Jan 29, 2012, 3:42 pm	Puuh! After 3 hours of driving we were back at home ... We just back as the postwoman came. And what she brought us? An envelope. Whether this is probably a new TV? You see a littlebit of blue ... Look! It is Blou Beer from South Africa! We all welcome him warmly! He has traveled very far. Nearly 16,000 km! He  shows us on the PC where he comes from. Do I ever  travel so far away from home? Bye, Boofle
beelicious Posted Jan 30, 2012, 1:23 pm	Hello mummy! Last night it snowed a lot! The other TV's and I played in the snow. Together we built a snowman. Bye, Boofle
beelicious Posted Feb 1, 2012, 9:07 am	Hi! Today is a sad day ... Sir James is leaving us. We tell him  "goodbye" and wish him a good journey. Bye, Boofle
beelicious Posted Feb 4, 2012, 6:28 pm	Hello mum! I've heard that I should travel to Dortmund! I'm very happy about it! May I also go the carnival? As what I disguise myself .... ? I look on the PC where Dortmund is. Then we play Monopoly together again. In the next few days  it starts ... I'm very excited! Bye! Boofle
beelicious Posted Feb 6, 2012, 4:53 pm	Hello! Before I resume my journey, we made a trip to Bamberg. Some information about Bamberg: Bamberg is a city in Bavaria, Germany, located in Upper Franconia on the river close to its confluence with Regnitz the river Main. Its historic city center is a UNESCO listed world heritage site.   In 1973, the town celebrated the 1000th anniversary of its founding. Bamberg extends over seven hills, each crowned by a beautiful church. This has led to Bamberg being called the "Franconian Rome" - a running joke among Bamberg Although's tour guides is to refer instead to Rome as the "Italian Bamberg". Bamberg prides itself with being on seven hills, as it symbolizes similarity to Rome. The hills are Cathedral Hill, Michael Berg, Kaulberg / Upper Parish, Stefan Berg, Jacob Berg, Altenburg Hill and Abtsberg. First, we are the "Altenburg" from up there. The old castle is located at the highest of Bamberg's seven hills. It was mentioned for the first time in 1109th. Between 1251 and 1553 it was the residence of Bamberg's bishops. In 1801 doctor AF Marcus bought the castle and it completely repaired. His friend, the famous German writer E.T.A. Hoffmann, who was very impressed by the building, lived there for a while. An old cannon. A beautiful view of Bamberg. This is the Cathedral of Bamberg. The cathedral is a late Romanesque building with four grand towers. It was founded in 1004 by the emperor Henry II, finished in 1012 and consecrated on May 6, 1012th. The cathedral is 94 m (ft 308) long, 28 m (ft92) broad, 26 m (85 ft) high, and the four towers are each about 81 m (ft 266) high. In addition, with the tombs of emperor Henry II and Pope Clement II. This is the "Neue Residenz". The Neue Residenz (New Palace, 1698-1704) was initially occupied by the prince-bishops, and from 1864 to 1867 by the deposed King Otto of Greece. Klein-Venedig ("Little Venice" ), a colony of picturesque fishermen's houses from the 19th century along one side of the river Regnitz. Beautiful housefascade from  "Altes Rathaus" (Old town hall). (The informations are from wikipedia.com  and Yosemite  )
beelicious Posted Feb 6, 2012, 5:36 pm	When we came back from Bamberg, a small yellow package was in the postbox. What is inside? I knew it immediately, because it was written "Leopoldi inside". Leopoldi! My beloved adopted-brother :-D! Unfortunately, the joy of reunion is short because I leave the beautiful Steigerwald to travel to Dortmund. Finally I got my Travel-ID and my passport. I say goodbye to my friends and sing softly "Time to Say Goodbye" .... Thank you for everything! Maybe we see us again! Boofle
dragonfly mareen.haferkamp@emailn.de Posted Feb 15, 2012, 8:42 pm	hi mummy! i have arrived my new host. im feel fine. and i have meet drago,.
dragonfly mareen.haferkamp@emailn.de Posted Feb 19, 2012, 7:52 pm	hi mommy. Today we were at the carnival for children. Unfortunately, it was very cold and probably therefore also not as crowded, but some great costumes we have seen yet. also female soldiers hark small, but unfortunately only when they are already gone off, because they had unfortunately no time for a kiss next Monday's Rose Monday. hopefully we can find a space where we can see a lot and catch a lot of sweets.
dragonfly mareen.haferkamp@emailn.de Posted Mar 20, 2012, 8:05 pm	hi mommy. I think this is my last update from here, for my journey continues to Holland. I am looking forward to it very much. But now I will still show a lot. that's near our house ... and here we were a couple of days in the park westphalia. and today we were at a lake
