Hey Guys,

here comes my first Travelog. :)
As you can see I´m still at home and waiting for my first adventure. Yeah!!!

Before I will start my first journey I will give you some more information about myself, my hobbies and about my lovely family here in Berlin.

At the pictures you can see me at my favorite place at home: daddy´s blue white striped sofa. Why I´m loving this sofa so much you may ask?! Because mommy loves it as well. ;) 

We sit here quite often especially during the winter. The winter in Germany can be very long and cold and so we do something nice at home like reading a good book at the blue white striped sofa or drinking a hot chocolate. I love chocolate by the way. ;) hehe

The next picture shows me with my brother Lucas Spoon. He is such a friendly sheep.

Lucas doesn´t want to leave the home, because he will get homesickness for sure. So his live mission is to stay at home and to welcome all the traveling Tv´s here in Berlin. You will have a lot of fun with him. Lucas will show you the best places in Berlin and you can be sure that he is doing his best that you feel comfortable here.

One of my hobbies is flying around good smelling flowers. Daddy bought me a new rose and I love her very much.

Hey my dears,

It´s me again. As promised you will get some more information about me.

Another hobby of my family and me is sport. Mommy and daddy like to go jogging. As you can imagine I prefer to fly, but I understand that the humans prefer to stay on their feet. ;)

Lucas instead like the hurdles – he is practices almost every day. You can see that on the picture. Even during the photo shoot he cannot sit. Sheep’s!?

Besides the sport we like to cook and bake together. I really like sweets and on the next picture you can see me how I steel a tasty chocolate-chili cookie dad baked yesterday. But please do not betray me. ;)

Normally I take some coffee and cakes together with Lucas Spoon. I like to share my time with good friends and I hope that I will get a lot of possibilities during my journeys around the world.
Mareikingowicz


Posted Jul 6, 2012, 10:58 am
At the evening we often look through our cook books. Here you can see a small session and discussion which cake we will do next. Lucas always wants to bake some fruit cakes I prefer the chocolate ones.

But I´m a nice brother and from time to time I agree to bake a fruity cake. The next one will be a Berliner Apple Pie. Yummy!!! 

This for today my dears! Tomorrow we are going to make a bike trip and I think I can show you pictures from the trip as well.

Cheers, Cupcakie

Hello again,

yes finally it´s weekend and we are going to make a bike tour. Yes - I like it.

See here is our equipment and normally I am the one who gives the commando. Yes, yes you heard right. ;) See below the picture is my evidence.

On the next pictures you can see us in Berlin Grunewald at our first brake. We saw a really big anthill. Wow!!! Can you see it?

We started our bike tour in Berlin Grunewald and went to Potsdam. Mommy and Daddy were very fast today so we hadn´t enough time to take some more pictures.

But here can you see me at the Glienicker Brücke. During the Cold War in Germany this was a Spy Bridge where they changed the Spy´s between East and West Germany. Of course it was a secret. At that time the bridge was called Freedom Bridge.

In the 4th picture you can see me and the Havel River. Some tourists going by boat.

After another hour we arrived in Berlin Wannsee to take the train back home to Grunewald. :)

I was very ko and needed a nonalcoholic beer. hehe I love beer. In the back you can see the Wannsee lido.


See you soon my dears, I´m very tired now and have to take a small nap.

Hey, Hey,

today just a short message from me. Today me and my mommy went to a friend. At first we talked a lot about things happend the last weeks and after that we went to a really cool Asian restaurant in Berlin Friedrichshain. Of course I ordered Sushi - I really like these small rolls. Especially Tempura Rolls with prawns. Yummie!!!  :D

On the first picture you can see me at the station as we started our journey to our friend. The second one is showing me after the Sushi. I was so full that I couldn´t sit anymore. Oh jeh.

Read you soon my dears,

Hey Dears,

After one day break I´m online again. Yesterday mommy and me didn´t do a lot. We just went to work and mommy took some pictures from the most famous street in Berlin – the Ku´damm. You can see me in front of the Schaubühne – it´s a theater.
Mareikingowicz


Posted Jul 10, 2012, 10:54 am
At the next pictures you can see me at Olivaer Platz and in front of our German celebrity hairdresser Udo Walz. Unfortunately the bus was so fast that it is hard to see anything. Maybe we will take another stop there.  :D

Posted Jul 10, 2012, 10:56 am
Cartier is mommy´s favorite shop to buy some good clothes. Every week she is welcomed by Cartier personally. Hehe maybe in her dreams. ;)

For our tourist in Berlin we have quite a lot of these sightseeing buses. I like the old green busses, but mommy don´t want to go with me on a bus trip. Such a pity I think.

The last picture is showing me in front of the Europa Center. The Center was built during the early 60´s. Now you have a lot of shops, cafe´s, restaurants and a lot of fountains inside. You should go there when you are in Berlin.  :D

Taking a coffee frappucino in the sunshine. :D

Mommy is already very excited about her first tv coming to us this week. Lucas and me will welcome him friendly with a small party and we will prepare everything tomorrow.

I hope that my journey will start very soon. I will attend the round robin first. Ui I´m excited as well. Here at home I have a small travel box where I can relax during the journeys but a box isn´t very good for an envelope so mommy told me that she will buy me a small travel bag. Juhu!!!

Mommy knows that I´m a bit vain.  B) So she prepared a small travel box for me, that I don´t get dirty. Isn´t she lovely to me?

Bye guys, read you soon!!!

Hey my Dears,

It´s me again your cupcakie. After few days we went to mommy´s flat today.

And can you believe it, she has no flowers?! :( Just such non smelling green plants, which you can see below. It is a pity.
Yes of course, I´m smiling on these pictures, but I´m doing it only for mommy. ;) Please don´t tell her that.

As a good boy I helped her with some small house duties today . :D

Yesterday evening mommy told me that we are expecting our first tv Jefferny. So I did some small thinks for his welcome party.

Mareikingowicz


Posted Jul 15, 2012, 3:51 pm
This week I will do my first journey. Yeah I´m excited what I will see and what I will explore.

I hope to meet some plushies or tv´s and I hope to see typical buildings of the city or area. Maybe a brewery? ;) hehe

Because I will leave soon I enjoyed my day with my brother Lucas Spoon. :) Jefferny was doing a bike trip with mommy and daddy and so Lucas and I watched TV and we  looked on the internet to see where I´m going to. :)

Greetings yours cupcakie

Hey dears,

It is my last day at home. Yeah! So I did the breakfast together with Jefferny. See it below on the pictures.

I did the coffee and Jefferny was helping me. Such a lovely dog.

Yes I knew that Jefferny was responsible for the rolls, but I just wanted to be sure that the temperature was the right one. For my mommy just the best rolls. But don´t worry – my feet is ok and not burned.

It looks great our breakfast. And by the way – my brother Lucas was still sleeping and of course he didn´t get anything of the tasty breakfast. He is too lazy I think. ;) hehe

The last picture of me in Berlin for a longer time. Mommy and Jefferny brought me to the post office. I´m very excited about my first journey to the north of Germany.

See you soon my dears. Bye yours Cupcakie

Hey dears,

Today, I arrived safely in Bremen.
First, I met Dana the Devil, Bob the Bear, Benny the Jedi-Beaver and Lily the Hare. They were so happy about my chocolate! Everyone could get one piece:) Ayphy also read the letter to them, which my mommy had given me for them, they all found it really nice, too.


Because Ayphy had to work very long today, we couldn't see that much on my first day.
On his way to work, he showed me the Lila Eule, the oldest music club of Germany. After work, he took me to the soccer stadium at Weser River and then we walked along the river to "Beck & Co."-Brewery, where I could even climb a lorry and see the brew coming from the brewery put into the lorry. :)
Unfortunately, we couldn't do the tour, maybe another day!
On the way, we saw the famous "Schlachte"-harbour with many restaurants and stuff, the theatre-ship, the waterworks called "commode upside down" and some other ships. One ship had a car on the heck, which was pretty funny. And another was like so tiny, I didn't believe that there could be humans on-board, but I saw them later. From a Café on the other side of the river til the brewery, we also took part in like a marathon-kinda-thing, but the people were all so fast, maybe it was a car-race with cars disguised as humans? You can see me fly with the red group on some photos, though.

After strolling around the brewery and taking some pictures of huge amounts of beer, we went to the city centre to see the "Ratskeller", where they have like really old wines and stuff, the city hall(Can you find the hen, who is part of the founding-myth of Bremen, as Ayphy told me), the parliament building and the big "Dom"-church. Also, we saw the Bible Garden with plants from the bible and the "Glocke", where you can hear concerts sometimes.
We then went on to see the courthouse, which is like very old. :)
I was allowed to sit in a police car at the police-station nearby, too! :D
Then, we went to the "Kunsthalle"(Art Exhibition Hall) and Goethe-theatre back to Ayphy's home. He showed me the amazing view from his roof-top-balcony and then we drank a local beer from the brewery we had seen before. :)

Good Night for today!
Yours Cupcakie
Ayphy

Hey dears!

Yesterday, we went to see some more of Bremen. After work, we went to the city's state archive, then we saw the Bleikeller(Lead Cellar), which is I think the creepiest tourist attraction I've seen, because they have real mummies there! The flash of Ayphy's camera is very shiny, so we decided to take the photos without flash, so they're a bit dark. But I think you can figure out the important details, anyway.
After leaving Bleikeller we went to the city's oldest part, the Schnoor quarter. I met a Calvinist who was really nice to me(he could remember Ayphy's toyvoy Ronya visitting him, too!). And I saw an all-year-christmas-shop!
Then we went on to meet a friend of Ayphy's Millipede(the turtle) and Rufus(the seal). They are so funny!

Today, we strolled a bit around the city center. I saw the wishing-well with angels, a well with Poseidon and his horses, the dom church and the "Spitting Stone", where legend says the head of an infamous mass murderer called Gesche Gottfried landed after her execution(the last public one in Bremen, actually, 1831).
Then Ayphy showed me the "Viertel"(maybe the best-known quarter of Bremen, Ayphy said) and "Wallanlagen" city park, which is actually only like 1-2 minutes from the city center away. Ayphy also showed me a very controversial site in the Wallanlagen park, which is a memorial for the soldiers killed in WWI, but also for the dead of Freikorps Caspari, who destroyed the Bremish council republic in 1919.
I also saw Bremens last windmill, which is a café nowadays, and the Sögestraße("Swine Street"), another side of the court building and Wilhelm Kaisen, the first mayor of Bremen after WWII, the shopping street "Lloydpassage" with hand-prints from famous people.
And the "Bremer Loch" where you can insert money and hear one of the Town Musicians.

Bye for now, feeling happy but slightly filled with Bubble Tea(Ayphy allowed me to drink it all by myself, but I didn't manage, it was like too big :D)

Hey dears!

Today, I visited the City Hall, Main Station and the Bürgerpark city park! I also saw pigs(and piglets!), deer, chickens, ducks, goats and Minizebu with its calv in the zoo! So cute:)

Tomorrow, I am going on a journey to the Netherlands:) I'm so excited!
Ayphy said he doesn't know, if I can write my travelog online there, but we'll try.
Otherwise, see you in two weeks!

Hey dears!

I was so excited to go to Ameland last week!
Everyone was so happy when we crossed the German-Dutch border because they were all looking forward to the camp:)
We drove with a biiiig car and then we went with the car on a ferry!:) A seagull tried to attack me, but Ayphy and his friends saved me from it:)
When we arrived, the weather was fantastic! There was sunshine all day long and I saw a beautiful sunset on the beach!
(Can you see my footprints in the sands?)

I am here to help with the kitchen, and I must say cooking for so many people is really fun! And the kids and everyone of the team is so nice to me, too!

I miss you mommy, I'll write more soon!

Hoi mommy!

Today was such a cool day, too! The weather isn't as sunny anymore, but anyway, we flew in a very tiny airplane above the island today! So I could show Ayphy and the others from which perspective I see the world! YAY!!!
We even saw seals, but unfortunately they are not so well to see on the photos...it was cool, anyway!

I even learned some dutch today!
Hartelijke Groeten van Ameland,

Hey dears!

The second week was very exciting, too! In the beginning, the good weather went away and two nights before we had a kind of extreme thunderstorm. We took a few photos in the beginning,  but then it got too stormy for me to fly around, so we returned home.
In the night, we constantly heard the thunder rolling in the dark and the lightnings were there every minute when it was above us from approx. 3am until 6am in the morning. All the kids woke up, when a lightning struck our house! There was an eletricity cut and the emergency generator went on, which was quite creepy, because it makes a high squeaking signal when it is on. The rain was so hard you couldn't see anything but darkness, drops and the lightnings. And when it ended, the water was 10cm high in front of the house, the owner had to pump it out for about 30 minutes.

After that exciting start of the week, it stayed more or less rainy in the evenings, but sunny again during the days.
So we could have a lot of fun again and I even saw how to tie-dye t-shirts and stuff!:)

Tomorrow, we will go back to Bremen, I think I'll miss Ameland a bit, but not as much as I miss you:)

Hey dears!
Today, I arrived back in Bremen and wanted to chill a bit in the city center on my last day before the big journey to Austria. We started to stroll a bit along the River and the center and watched some cool places there.
But when we had a break at the little fountain on the church place, I was so excited because I saw…JEFFERNY!! YAY!!!
We were so happy and we had so much to talk already!!
First we went to the insurance company, because Jefferny and I had some cool ideas, but we wanted to have it save, first. So we tried to jump from a very high tree (I must admit I didn’t dare to, because the insurance company denied me hehe). Then we went to the Mall of Fame and a little playground in the city center.  After we saw the city council house and the old trading house we went to chill a bit on Weser river with coffee and chocolate. We even found a cool slide, which was dangerous but very fun!
We also saw the theatre ship:)

I miss you, but looking forward to Austria!
Greetings from Jefferny and me,

So Mummy I have to confess you something… as I helped painting the fence I became a little bit dirty :thinking: I hope you are not angry with me. Silvia tried to clean my feet and my wing but the color is really persistant. So I can say I have a new tattoo on my right wing :p

In the garden there are many trees, plants and interesting things to discover… and it was a beautifull sunny day B) They also have own plant grapes they tasted veryy good!

Please don’t worry I didn’t smoke! ;) It is a funny joke from the kids in Plank to scare you a litte bit :rolleyes: I am very well-behaved I promise you!

Because Tomy had on 15th August Birthday, Silvi and I baked him a Birthdaycake :cyclops: It was a easy recipe so the cake tasted so good. After cooking we was celebrate Tomys Birthday all Night long ;)

Hello Mummyyy :D

This weekend is a Tennis-match in Horn. Silvi and Tomy played a double match not together but with other partners. It was so excited because the matches was so thrilling. The sun shine so much that Silvi nearly knock over the tennis court. But don’t worry all of us are fine  ;)

On our way to the tennis court we saw a pigsty where the farmers bring there pigs and the big firms pick up it. Similar an intermediate stop for the pigs. And in the hills there are very old cellars I think they are interesting.

Bye for now,
yours Cupcakie :rolleyes:

Hello Mummyyyy :cyclops:

Sorry that you hear so long nothing from me but I was still busy :rolleyes: I visited Vienna, the capital of Austria and it was soo interesting!!! :o Unfortunately the pictures are a little bit blurred because the camera of the mobile phone was not the best but it was very nice there and make a lot of fun to explore the big city.

Berlin is 3 times larger than Vienna but Vienna is a very beautiful place with many different interesting people. So on the "Stephansplatz" we visited the "Stephansdom", the emblem of Austria :) On this place there are a lot of street-artists who earn there money with them for example painter, brake-dance, still-standing-men and so on. Maybe as Silvia lived in Vienna she goes often to the "Stephansplatz" to admire the artists.

I also saw the "Prater" a veryyy big amusement park. The Big Wheel in Vieena is very impressive :D whe take a round on it and I saw the whole city it was an breathtaking moment despite I am huge levels used because I am a sweet butterlfy :cyclops:

Also cool was the "Donauturm" it is specially because there is an restaurant and this restaurant turns around every time so you can sit and eat very well tasted meals and see the whole city in all wind directions :stare:

At home by Michele she shows me her apartement and her nice cat "Leo" and her fishes B) don't worry Mum Leo was very cuddle to me and didn't want to eat me ;) On the one picture with the pink flowerpot you can see an insect-eating plant - that was sooo cool B) Playing the piano was very difficult I think this become not my favourite hobby :)

So Mumy, I love you don't forget this ;)

Hiii Momy!!

At Saturaday we drive to Silvias billardclub where Silvi often play pool in a pool organization. On the way to the club we drive through the "Kamptal" which is a veeery beautiful sightseeing road with many many trees, forests and wine yards. By the curves we have flown literally by car :cyclops:
The first place on the photo with the speed-radar is "Schönberg" a little nice place in the Kamptal.
The view over a city is the view from "Krems" a big city in Lower Austria where we can make shopping tours in the "Bühlcenter", there is also a photo from it below. On the photo with the skulpture on the left side you can see the "Hollenburg" on the rigt sight very very small unfortunately. And over the bridge we can admire the big river "Donau" where many canoe clubs are there. It was a great view you can believe ;)
The pinwheel where also very impressive they are used for producing energy. A very environmentfriendly possibilty!
Finally arrived in the billardclub we played a lot of rounds pool and I am not so bad as I accepted :D it was a great trip! :rolleyes:

Love you mom!!
