Hey friends,

this is my first day at home. Today I arrived at my new home and got to know my mommy. She instantly fell in love with me - she told me that she always wanted to have a little donkey in the family - so here I am :)!
I feel very comfortable in mommy's hand, and I really like my new home - it's very nice and light and the sun is shining through the windows!
And I even met a new friend here, he's also a little donkey and he showed me around!
I'm very glad I'm here - lucky me :)!

See you soon with my first adventure!

Yours, Lucky

Hey friends,

today I've started my very first adventure: a skiing trip to Sölden!
Although I'm a child of spring, I looove snow - and I never refuse a nice slope :)!
So we drove down the "Fernpass" to Austria and passed the "Zugspitze" - it's the highest mountain of Germany with 2962 metres. Of course I had to keep that moment with a nice picture ;)!
And then we were there: the weather was nice and the food was perfect - I love Austrian cuisine!

So see you tomorrow, the weather is said to be gorgeous then  B)!

Servus from Sölden!

So this is exactly what I expected - blue sky, bright sun and perfect slopes!
Isn't it lovely to be a little donkey ;)???

This is our last day here, but I do anything to enjoy it to the fullest!

These are my pictures - I'll be back, I promise :)!

Hellooooo,

what a big day for me: TODAY I'LL GET MY HÜ CAPE! It's yellow - my mom says it's the color of happiness and luck - so it's my favorite color now, it fits me :)!
It was really difficult for me to work with a sewing machine, but I think the result is good, isn't it ;)?!

After that I got to know my big brother Hotte. He was the first TV of the family and has already experienced a lot of great adventures. So he gave me a very warm welcome and told me some stories of what he has undergone so far! He's a real cool guy - maybe I'll be as cool as him someday...

I think we look sooo good with our Hü-capes - what do you think???
This is real brotherly love <3!

Hello from on the road!

We are on our way to Telfes in Austria. It is located at the Stubaital, where there is a glacier and where you can have wonderful slopes to ski!
Tomorrow we will check this out of course ;)!

Our drive is also very interesting: we enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Alpes and even drove by the famous "Bergisel". There you can find the ski-jump area,where the Four Hills Tournament takes place every year! It is really impressive to see this special location!

See you soon!
Yours, Lucky

Wohooo! Today's the day, we go to the Stubai Glacier to have a wonderful skiing day! The weather couldn't be better and so we enjoy the perfect slopes and the sunshine!
My daddy took me with him in his pocket, so I see everything and feel the wind around my big donkey ears!
When having a little break, I drank something that is very special for Alpine countries: Almdudler! My mommy always drinks it when being on a skitour - it tastes like a mixture of apple juice, herbs and soda - sooo delicious and refreshing!

When you have a closer look at my scenery pictures, you can see veeery far! In the back you can even see the mountains of Italy! We stood on a very high mountain, it is called the "Top of Tyrol" and is 3210 metres high! It is really an incredible feeling to stand up there!!!

What a perfect day! I hope tomorrow will be as good as today ;)...!

Hello from Sölden again!

We decided to make another trip into the Ötztal and check out the slopes in Sölden again!
Unfortunately the weather wasn't as good as yesterday, but nevertheless we had a wonderful day there! My daddy gave me a seat in his pocket again and so we dashed down the mountain!

Of course we had to have some drinks after our ski adventure - this is called "Après Ski". So I had a wonderful Jagertee and I must admit I felt a little dizzy afterwards  :p...!

See you soon!

Hello folks!

After two days of sportiness we wanted to experience some more Austrian culture and visited Innsbruck, "the capital of the Alpes", and of course the capital city of Tyrol!

The sun was shining and it was very warm! We visited the "Goldene Dachl", a golden rooftop which is the town's landmark! It was glowing in the sunshine and I was very impressed by it!

Then we had a break in a nicely decorated sidewalk café and had a lovely drink in the sun! I could have sitten there for ages...!

Everything in Innsbruck was decorated in various colors, so we could feel that Easter was coming! Easter eggs and chocolate rabbits everywhere!

At last we visited the Swarovski museum and shop! Everything was sparkling and gleaming, what a wonderful view!

This is our last day here in Austria, tomorrow we'll drive back home - what a pity! I hope to come back very soon!!

Love, Lucky

Good morning my friends!

Today we'll leave Austria and drive back home to Germany! But before we leave I have to take some veeeery special pictures in order to fulfill one of my life missions: I WANT TO MEET A REAL DONKEY!

So we went for a little walk in Telfes and went by some very nice flowers - everything is blooming here, although we had some new snow yesterday...!

And then we were finally there and met my fellows! They were almost as beautiful as I am - but just ALMOST ;)! I said hello to the grey donkey - I think he like me because I'm also grey - the brown one was a little shy first, but then he also came to me and told me about their lives in an Alpine village!
Maybe I will also come here when I'm wise and old - but at the moment this way of life would be far to quiet for me! I'M READY FOR NEW ADVENTURES!
Then we said goodbye and I promised to come back!

On our was back home we drove by Bergisel again and got a last glimpse of the impressive mountain range!

See you back home!

Yours, Lucky

Hello friends :)!
I'm sooo excited...today I had a hard working day with daddy in his office. Such a nice office with many many telephones, computers, printers and meeting rooms. First I had a telephone conference with some customers. Daddy was absolutly contented with my negotiating skills and I also got a commendation from the customers :). After this hard conference I checked the complete office and did some work to disburden daddy in his daily work. A working day is very hard for a little donkey like me, so i had to relax a little bit in the afternoon with coffee and a visit in the chill out area.

Now I'm very tired and must go to bed :)
I'm already very curious about my next donkey adventures

Greeeeeets Lucky :)

Hello friiiiiends!

Great days in Ischgl. I was allowed to join daddy and his friends to Ischgl season closing event with the great "Top of the mountain concert". This year it was unbelievable there, Robbie Williams performed on the mountain with 25000 fans :) . My papa bought me a lift ticket and I was allowed to celebrate with the whole Ischgl closing group. So exciting, so much nice people there and moreover an absolutly great performance by Robbie Williams. After the concert we all started celebrating in Trofana Alm and Pazze Nova and in the whole village. I will nerver forget this and hope to come back soon there with mummy and daddy.

Greeets Lucky :)

Hello my friends!

juhhuhhhhhhh today we did something veeery special! We went on a tour with alpacas! Daddy loves these animals, so we went to a farm where there are two of them! And we were allowed to put a leash on them and take them for a walk.
It was soooo wonderful. Their names were Marf and Janosch and they were both sooo funny! Have you ever heard what kind of strange sounds they make? We almost died of laughter!!!

It was such a great day with a lot of fun, sunshine and laughter!

Yours, Lucky

Hello friends!

Yiiihhaaaa, summer holidays :). I was allowed to go on holiday with my parents to Pieve di Tremosine at Lake Garda. There I spent one evening at the James Bond Hotel Paradiso, where the movie "Quantum of Solace" was made. From the hotel terrace you have a great view over the whole Lake Garda and you can eat the best pizza in Italy :). Moreover I had the possibility to fulfill some part of my life mission and took a picture with a wonderful lucky charm: a lovely rainbow!

Love, Lucky

Hello friends,

today I'm gonna start my first journey! As I'm the youngest of the Hü-family, my mom is almost as nervous as I am :-D! But now it's time to discover the world, and I want to start with my home country!
Germany has so many beautiful places I want to visit! And now I start with Bavaria! I can't wait to meet my host mom, I always need a mommy by my side...

Before I left my home, I had to take a good breath of fresh winter air and played in the snow. I tried to make a snowman, but I think I'm a lousy artist :-D...!

Then I packed my bag and said goodbye to my brother Hotte. He wished me good luck and told me to take care! My mom and dad kissed me goodbye and the I made myself comfortable in my travel envelope!

I hope it doesn't take too long until I can hug my host mom!

So long! Yours, Lucky

Mom, mom, mom!!!!

Today came Berta and Petunia to me. They want to bandage my eyes… strange  :stare:.
So I’m a good sport  ;)!
http://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t386/toyvoyager2015/P1120940_zpsc911a75d.jpg

http://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t386/toyvoyager2015/P1120941_zpsdbba09b0.jpg

I heard Petunia and Berta whispered and a rustle.
http://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t386/toyvoyager2015/P1120942_zpsf6cd282b.jpg

Then  I could remove the blindfold…..

I saw a little candle in a carott and my TV-friends.
They sing „Happy birthday“…
http://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t386/toyvoyager2015/P1120943_zpsf8521997.jpg


Oops! I forgot my own birthday!

What a surprise  :cyclops:!

I blow out the candle and make a wish (you know what  :cyclops: … )
http://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t386/toyvoyager2015/P1120945_zps56288fe0.jpg

I got a little present….
http://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t386/toyvoyager2015/P1120946_zps4b6cd8f8.jpg

Look! It’s a carott! I love carrots  B)!

I’m so happy!

Berta and Petunia decorated my birhtday-table with gras, a balloon, candles and paper-streamers!
It looks wonderful!
I got a flower-crown on my head.
http://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t386/toyvoyager2015/P1120953_zps889840cb.jpg


Then I got a present from host-mum: a carrot-cake!

Hello Mommy!

Yesterday I said „Goodbye“ to Berta.
http://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t386/toyvoyager2015/P1130056_zpsywajqsh5.jpg

Today we found this bananas. They look not delicious…
But host-mom says they are right for a banana-cake!
http://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t386/toyvoyager2015/P1130065_zps4tcgzss6.jpg


Well, so we make one!


First I mix bananas with brown sugar and sour cream. Set aside.

Then I stir butter, eggs, sugar, baking powder, wheat and rye flour.
http://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t386/toyvoyager2015/P1130076_zpscigowrkj.jpg

http://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t386/toyvoyager2015/P1130077_zpstmxshouh.jpg


Stir both together.
http://i1057.photobucket.com/albums/t386/toyvoyager2015/P1130080_zpssywsqvzr.jpg


Put the dough in a bundt pan pan.

Hello Mum,

Great News, after a fast trip I arrived in Sülfeld. Dicker Kumpel gave me a warm welcome.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Amrum_0232.jpg

I showed his brothers, sisters and girl-friend my postcard – Eselsfurt would have been nicer.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Amrum_0233.jpg

I found some nice flowers in the house – hopefully you like it, too.

Hello Mum,

We explored Sülfeld today. Our first stop was next to the Alster-Trave-Kanal. I learnt a lot about it on this sign.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0001.jpg

There is a big nature reserve with many birds. Maybe I will see some in the next weeks.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0002.jpg

I stopped next to a big meadow with many colourful flowers.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0011.jpg

And I really liked this small lake.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0015.jpg

Here you see me with my new friends in front of the old school of Sülfeld.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0017.jpg

Look, this is the emblem of Sülfeld.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0020.jpg

We wanted to see these two storks – and we were happy, because they were at home.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0027.jpg

My last stop for today was in front of the beautiful church.

Hello Mum,

Happy Easter to you!

I met the Easter Bunny! It was so cute and friendly.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0040.jpg

Then it was time for the search.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0041.jpg

I found something!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0042.jpg

Look, there was something in the basket – but it was high in the air.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0043.jpg

I asked Long Hippo and he wanted to help me.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0044.jpg

This was steep.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0045.jpg

But I did it!

Hello Mum,

We took a trip to Timmendorfer Strand. First we went to a concert and heart songs of sailsmen.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0151.jpg

Look – wonderful flowers!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0153.jpg

I had fun with this funny fish.

Then we saw the Baltic Sea.

This old man and his granddaughter seem to have a good time.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0164.jpg

We went onto the pier, it was a nice sunny day.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0166.jpg

What a wonderful place.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0169.jpg

Do you know Udo Lindenberg? He is a famous German singer – and this is a monument for him.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0172.jpg

What a funny bird!

Hello Mum,

It was time for some sport, but only for RikeH, she took her bike and we all went to this nice building in Borstel, a place near to Sülfeld.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0202.jpg

Can you see the beautiful tree in front of it?

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0203.jpg

We continued our trip and found this lovely lake.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0208.jpg

Spring is one of the best time in the year.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/April_0209.jpg

Dicker Kumpel, Krystal and I had fun on this big piece of a tree.

Maybe I should live in a house like this, when I stop travelling…

Hello Mum, 

We went to Boltenhagen, a nice place and we saw a nice concert in the first evening.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0001.jpg

It was a group that played Rockmusic from the former East Germany.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0003.jpg

It was a long concert – and it was dark outside, we had a great view from our holiday appartement.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0006.jpg

They finished the show with a great laser show – it was amazing!

Hello Mum,

Today it was time to visit some butterflies. I loved this blue one.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0013.jpg

But this one on the flower was beautiful, too.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0015.jpg

I went close to this butterfly.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0019.jpg

What a great caterpillar!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0022.jpg

Wow, bananas.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0026.jpg

And this is one of the biggest butterflies in the world. Believe it or not – it was a living one, but it slept when we took this photo.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0028.jpg

On our way home we stopped at his harbour of Boltenhagen.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0032.jpg

The weather wasn’t too nice, but wait for the photos of the afternoon.

Hello Mum,

In the afternoon we had wonderful weather and decided to take a trip in this nice small train called Carolinchen.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0037.jpg

We drove along the sea – and will go to this high bank there.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0040.jpg

The sky was blue, I loved it.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0045.jpg

Then we reached this high bank and had a nice view.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0048.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0051.jpg

What a wonderful yellow color!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0054.jpg

Then we drove back to Boltenhagen.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0057.jpg

It was time for another concert.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0062.jpg

We went to the beach.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0064.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0068.jpg

Hello Mum,

It was time to see more of Boltenhagen. This is the Kurhaus.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0074.jpg

Look, funny wooden people.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0076.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0080.jpg

We went to the small church.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0084.jpg

It was nice inside.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0081.jpg

This building was funny, too.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0088.jpg

This was the spa garden – and behind me you can see our house.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0092.jpg

I loved this building.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0094.jpg

Then it was time to relax.

On our way home we saw his nice fountain.

Hello Mum,

I went back into the Past – into the Stone Age. Here you see a house of this time.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0118.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0117.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0113.jpg

This was a small storage house.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0123.jpg

Maybe they took their water of this little river.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0126.jpg

These houses were older.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0129.jpg

Then I met these funny pigs.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0130.jpg

This house was big!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0148.jpg

And the garden next to it.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0136.jpg

Here you can see the shoes…

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0143.jpg

… and some tools.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0144.jpg

Hello Mum,

We visited the Castle Bothmer, well not really the Castle, because it was not open.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0154.jpg

But we were allowed to go into the park.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0155.jpg

There were nice plants.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0160.jpg

This was the moat.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0163.jpg

Another nice view of the Castle – can you see the swan behind me?

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0165.jpg

What a beautiful mill!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0169.jpg

Later that day we took a ride in this wonderful train.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0171.jpg

This was the railway building.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Bolt_0174.jpg

Hello Mum,

Believe it or not – I am on a Cruise Ship. It is the Mein Schiff 4. First I show you the pool.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0021.jpg

We started in Hamburg and had nice views over the new part of the Port.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0026.jpg

Look, the ship had an indoor pool.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0029.jpg

There was a smile on the chimney of the ship.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0034.jpg

No problem, if I would jump into the sea.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0038.jpg

A look into the other direction.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0041.jpg

These guys were so funny.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0046.jpg

On the way to our cabin.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0048.jpg

This was our cabin, not that big, but enough for a short cruise.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0052.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0056.jpg

We liked this place.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0057.jpg

Then we started our cruise – with music.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0061.jpg

Look, a funny boat with water fountains was in front of us.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0063.jpg

This is a very expensive building in Hamburg.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0069.jpg

The church is called Michel – it is famous in Hamburg.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0071.jpg

Hello Mum,

Today it was a day on the Sea – more time to spend on the ship. First we had a cup of coffee.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0087.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0090.jpg

The machine did the work.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0092.jpg

Well – water around us – but this is typical for a Cruise.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0097.jpg

Nothing to see in front of us, too.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0098.jpg

Then it was time for artist – these men did great things with fruit and vegetables.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0103.jpg

Look, a funny bird.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0110.jpg

These guys were great.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0113.jpg

Some people relaxed next to the Pool.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0119.jpg

Should I run around the ship?

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0120.jpg

Better not…

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0127.jpg

I decided to explore the Ship. These people with the umbrellas were funny.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0130.jpg

I loved this couple.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0135.jpg

Hello Mum,

We were in Copenhagen and left the Ship for some hours. It looked great!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0137.jpg

This was the little Mermaid – full of tourists… but I was the only donkey.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0141.jpg

We continued our walk and stopped next to this beautiful fountain.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0150.jpg

Not far away there was this little church.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0153.jpg

I think this is the place where the royals live.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0159.jpg

Oh – a wonderful church.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0160.jpg

I went into it.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0165.jpg

Then we went back to the big place and saw the Guards.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0169.jpg

This is one of the most famous places in Copenhagen, called Nyhavn.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0172.jpg

Look, the town hall…

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0184.jpg

… a funny fountain….

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0183.jpg

… and a big hotel.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0175.jpg

On our way back to the Ship I wanted to have this photo!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0188.jpg

This was a great size of the Ship!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0193.jpg

Time to relax in the sun!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Mai_0195.jpg

Then we left – it was a nice day in Denmark.

Do you know which vegetable grows here?

White flowers were beautiful, too.

And this curious frog told me a lot about the neighbourhood.

Two months ago I visited the church of Sülfeld, today I walked there and it was open.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0166.jpg

We went inside. It is beautiful!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0173.jpg

I went to the front part and had a closer look.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0176.jpg

Here you can spend money.

Hello Mum,

I was time to continue my trip, but first I wanted to see more of Hamburg.
This is the library.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0344.jpg

What a funny man!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0345.jpg

Then we went to the Alster lake. I really wanted to see it!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0346.jpg

There were many birds around it.

Other views of the Alster lake.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0352.jpg

These buildings are called Alsterarkaden.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0353.jpg

And behind me you can see the town hall.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0354.jpg

At home it was time to say goodbye to Dicker Kumpel. We had so much fun together!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/2015/Juni_0355.jpg

I got a hug by my friends – now I travel to my next host.

Hello Mum,

Where am I? Where should I go? :thinking:

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Okt%202015/Ankunft%20Lucky/IMG_4248_zpsug9g1cec.jpg

I walked a long way – alone all the time. Now I need a break. This place there looks great.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Okt%202015/Ankunft%20Lucky/IMG_4251_zpsi2kopdkj.jpg

I will relax here. B)

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Okt%202015/Ankunft%20Lucky/IMG_4266_zpssxvhjhtc.jpg

We wanted to see the autumn – let’s start.

Hello Mum,

Today we searched mushrooms on a big meadow.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Okt%202015/Truppenuebungsplatz/IMG_4344_zpsawibklz2.jpg

But there weren’t many yet. But we found some. This will be an Octopus stinkhorn soon. Looked strange, didn’t it? ;)

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Okt%202015/Truppenuebungsplatz/IMG_4328_zpsx8w02djl.jpg

There were not many flowers anymore.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Okt%202015/Truppenuebungsplatz/IMG_4322_zpsunmnblrz.jpg

This mushroom had great colours! Orange and green.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Okt%202015/Truppenuebungsplatz/IMG_4336_zpskawhlmpx.jpg

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Okt%202015/Dino%20Park/IMG_4478_zpsdzrp5th4.jpg

No, this wasn’t a dinosaur, but he looked funny. :) We wanted to have a photo.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Okt%202015/Dino%20Park/IMG_4482_zpsiybrwxaa.jpg

It was a little foggy, suitable for a swamp.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Okt%202015/Neustadt/IMG_4563_zpslu8xjrs4.jpg

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Okt%202015/Neustadt/IMG_4570_zpsjvzagjaw.jpg

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Okt%202015/Neustadt/IMG_4573_zpsil7sahho.jpg

This was the old harbor of the Castle. The boats were very small in the past.

I learnt a lot about the park here.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20November%202015/IMG_4642_zpskooo9lvz.jpg

These trees are called the 12 apostles. :thinking:

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20November%202015/IMG_4648_zpsopeb1pjx.jpg

We were not allowed to take a photo of the Castle, because the way was closed.


http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20November%202015/IMG_4650_zpst5d3mnkw.jpg

There was a beautiful obelisk inside the little lake.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20November%202015/IMG_4656_zpsyxnshqeo.jpg

Dicker Kumpel showed us something interesting.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20November%202015/IMG_4662_zpsnowekx9r.jpg

People cooled goods in this house in the Past.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20November%202015/IMG_4665_zpsewkxbilo.jpg

On our way back we saw this beautiful graffiti, the church of Sülfeld.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20November%202015/IMG_4670_zpsbqruqtib.jpg

And here you see the emblem of Sülfeld.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20November%202015/IMG_4673_zpsxqbc3nid.jpg

Unfortunately it was only a short visit. :(

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20November%202015/IMG_4678_zpsgmpnbjts.jpg

Hello Mum,

what a wonderful day. :D We celebrated the birthday of PieksiHH and me. Murph had a cake with candles for us.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/IMG_4710_zps92kermpu.jpg

We blew the candles out.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/IMG_4712_zps5v2p1jxg.jpg

And ate the cake.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/IMG_4715_zpsf8xqzilt.jpg

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/IMG_4717_zpsihph0wgg.jpg

It was so yummy! :p

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/IMG_4722_zpsfqr12stq.jpg

Murph told us about a big surprise.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/IMG_4726_zpstuokdhti.jpg

But first he tied our eyes. :rolleyes:

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/IMG_4728_zps4j8cpkoz.jpg

We had to wait.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/IMG_4740_zpsnvbdspbj.jpg

What was he doing?

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/IMG_4738_zps9tsboqkr.jpg

Eventually we were allowed to have a look. :)

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/IMG_4742_zpszdy7yj9h.jpg

But what was it?

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/IMG_4749_zpsfgwaiumv.jpg

3 canisters with oil? Oil to drink? :thinking:

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/IMG_4761_zpstas1yeni.jpg

How will it taste?

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/IMG_4763_zpso4hlvxm7.jpg

It was delicious! :D

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/IMG_4769_zpskv1bo1jx.jpg

And we get very tired. ;)

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/IMG_4774_zpswb0awh9y.jpg

Hello Mum,

Today is Nikolaus Day : the humans put their cleaned shoes in front of the door the night before – and on the 6th of December the Nikolaus came and put sweets into the shoes – if the humas were well-behaved. Unfortunately I don't have shoes :( – but we searched big ones from HoBi. B)

These shoes are too small.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Nikolaus%202015/IMG_4872_zpswsrakgax.jpg

But this one was great ! This was big enough. :)

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Nikolaus%202015/IMG_4808_zps6rn5cncz.jpg

Bad luck for us – the boot was dirty. And the Nikolaus only fills clean boots with sweets. :thinking:

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Nikolaus%202015/IMG_4812_zpsvxfvrdaa.jpg

So we searched something to clean.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Nikolaus%202015/IMG_4816_zpsm8w5bdzw.jpg

And we  cleaned it.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Nikolaus%202015/IMG_4820_zps7903qljw.jpg

It looked great... :D

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Nikolaus%202015/IMG_4831_zpsiwlyg0pm.jpg

Ready – now we put the boot in front of the door.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Nikolaus%202015/IMG_4834_zpskg4joz06.jpg

This was exciting – we sat behind the door and wanted to surprise the Nikolaus.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Nikolaus%202015/IMG_4835_zpsdx03xz2y.jpg

We waited all night long – this was my time to hear what happens!

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Nikolaus%202015/IMG_4843_zpsumxxmueq.jpg

Well – I heart something!

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Nikolaus%202015/IMG_4854_zpscyt2c925.jpg

It worked – the whole boot is full! :D

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Nikolaus%202015/IMG_4861_zpspdrjhvqc.jpg

But what now? How can we get the sweets? We are so small – and the boot is so big! :thinking: We pushed togehter – maybe he will fall?

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Nikolaus%202015/IMG_4862_zpsrjb0nswu.jpg

We made it – and so many sweets for us!

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Nikolaus%202015/IMG_4868_zpsegi7sbop.jpg

Hello Mum,

today I took a look at the hometown of Murph.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Summstein/IMG_4779_zpsfqgykelr.jpg

Bad Salzdetfurth is an old miningtown. And you find memories of this time everywhere.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Summstein/IMG_4775_zpspgwignug.jpg

I like this old door.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Summstein/IMG_4781_zpso5xk6bp9.jpg

There are many old timbered houses.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Summstein/IMG_4788_zpsrhevgcqf.jpg

The golden ball in front of the ‚Kurmittelhaus‘  is the sun. All over the town you find planets in the right distance and in the right dimension

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Summstein/IMG_4789_zps3gifpxn2.jpg

There are 2 big salines in the spa gardens. The people used it to produce salt in the past.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Summstein/IMG_4794_zpsy2aozg92.jpg

This is the famous place of Murph. It is called Summstein – you sit inside of it and bumble. Then the whole body prickles. Very funny! :D

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Summstein/IMG_4797_zpso2mgh02g.jpg

During the Advent season the whole city is decorated for Christmas. Beautiful, isn’t it? :)

Hello mum,

Today I went to a beautiful park.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Bodenburg/IMG_4891_zps1apoyfa7.jpg

On our way to the park we found this gate. I loved the color. :)

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Bodenburg/IMG_4876_zpsnhsmylvq.jpg

... and this fountain.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Bodenburg/IMG_4879_zpszurtw8le.jpg

We wanted to have a photo with this tractor. Maybe it can still drive? :rolleyes:

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Bodenburg/IMG_4881_zps0ja26p0g.jpg

Behind me you can see the castle.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Bodenburg/IMG_4884_zpseum2c8h8.jpg

There was a small pavilion in the park.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Bodenburg/IMG_4888_zpsrugx2hcr.jpg

These old tomb slabs were impressive.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Bodenburg/IMG_4903_zpskfklawb0.jpg

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Bodenburg/IMG_4904_zps3o5uuusc.jpg

Oups, this way was closed. We had to search another way. ;)

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Bodenburg/IMG_4906_zpswvr5vj5z.jpg

A beautiful lake belongs to the park, too.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Bodenburg/IMG_4908_zpsjnlvjivv.jpg

Let’s see, what more we can find here.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Bodenburg/IMG_4913_zpsxzrymm7w.jpg

The Castle at close range.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Bodenburg/IMG_4899_zpsolvamwyb.jpg

These old bonnets look funny, don’t they? B)

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Bodenburg/IMG_4894_zpsonom1zmz.jpg

Look what we found in the park. A mistletoe! Normally this plant is high in the trees.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Bodenburg/IMG_4902_zps66oorinf.jpg

Hello Mum,

We spent Christmas in Müden. A beautiful village with a small church.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Heiligabend/IMG_4960_zpst0avrtts.jpg

We had no Christmas tree in our holiday house. So we searched on in the village. First we saw this beautiful house.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Heiligabend/IMG_4947_zpsfmo02n3n.jpg

The street lights in Müden were decorated for Christmas. :)

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Heiligabend/IMG_4951_zps930bupqc.jpg

We found these great figurines in a garden. :D

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Heiligabend/IMG_4948_zpsq43seqfu.jpg

And a wonderful windmill – just built for us TVs.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Heiligabend/IMG_4949_zpszlw7ugiv.jpg

Then we found it – a big Christmas tree…

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Heiligabend/IMG_4954_zpsd9vhyk7r.jpg

… decorated with wonderful balls! :D

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Heiligabend/IMG_4958_zpsp2bbshuu.jpg

On our way back I found a beautiful dress for you, Mum! It looked great, didn’t it? :)

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Teufelsheide/IMG_4926_zpshym5r5te.jpg

A beautiful region!

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Teufelsheide/IMG_4934_zpsxzuqkq68.jpg

We had to be careful. :o

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Teufelsheide/IMG_4929_zpsug9k7k6e.jpg

But we were brave TVs! ;)

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Teufelsheide/IMG_4939_zpsxjbgnjae.jpg

I had no idea, what this cross is for.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Teufelsheide/IMG_4932_zpsm3nloykk.jpg

Then we found these red points. Blossoms of a lichen. It looked funny, didn’t it? :)

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Teufelsheide/IMG_4944_zpsedvrluzv.jpg

It was a great landscape although we didn’t found wolves. B)

Hello Mum,

today we had a closer look at Münden. This was the Heidesee.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Mueden/IMG_4995_zpsmaqhkylu.jpg

We found a comfy swing and took a break. :)

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Mueden/IMG_5000_zpsmnifhscy.jpg

We saw this big millstone at the mill of Müden. It was impressive.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Mueden/IMG_5003_zpspytiyfd1.jpg

This was the famous mill of Müden.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Mueden/IMG_5009_zpsegngxcc3.jpg

In front of it we found something unbelievable.  People hang their shoes at this tree… :thinking:

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Mueden/IMG_5007_zpsyxnymtgf.jpg

In the Past many people had wells like this, today there were only a few of it left.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Mueden/IMG_5011_zps4wsdhmnz.jpg

An old storage from the earlier days…

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Mueden/IMG_5013_zpsilc4uiic.jpg

This was a monument for a famous poet. The poet’s name was Herrmann Löns.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Dez%202015/Hermann%20Loens/IMG_4973_zpsfosycz3f.jpg

We took a nice walk along the „Innerste“.  Look, we had snow. :rolleyes:

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Feb%202016/IMG_5042_zpsdbxej9zj.jpg

It was not much snow, but the nature looked beautiful.

This tree was very old – very impressive. :)

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Feb%202016/IMG_5041_zpsvgpgahv1.jpg

There was an old water mill at this place in the Past.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Feb%202016/IMG_5043_zpshtosmdun.jpg

We saw the Murph’s home from this place.

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Feb%202016/IMG_5052_zpsgonvsxns.jpg

There were two lions to guard it. They look funny at the moment. :D

We had to warm up and dry after the walk.

Hello Mum,

this looked exciting. :)

We wanted to have a closer look.

Behind the entrance we saw this buggy. It was so big! :D

There were small figures in the houses. They played the scenes for us.

This tool didn’t belong to a fairy tale. Messages were send with it through the forest in the Past.

Hello Mum,

After a long break we were able to go into the forest. We wanted to see Murph’s famous mushrooms in the wintertime. On the way we found something funny. Ears were growing in Murph’s forest. :D

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Feb%202016/Rote%20Becher/IMG_5105_zpsn5mci1ku.jpg

But where were his famous mushrooms. They should be here… :thinking:

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Feb%202016/Rote%20Becher/IMG_5135_zpssx1qjfjk.jpg

We had to have a closer look! There they were! Can you see the red thing?

http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb347/HoBi666/BadSe%20Feb%202016/Rote%20Becher/IMG_5123_zpszitys5el.jpg

They were called Scarlet Elf Cup. :)

Hi friends,

today I arrived at home. I didn't know what to expect there, will there be some new TVs to get to know? Then I heard some noise from the outside - it sounded like a low neighing and barking... Then my travelling-parcel was opened and bright sunlight shone into it! And guess what! Hotte and a friendly looking dog looked at me! The dog's name is Karakolak and we became good friends immediately!

We had a wonderful evening with a lot of stories to be told!

Yours, Lucky

Hi friends,

so this is the day of continuing my journey. I've received an invitation from Wuppertal, and I'm really excited to visit another famous German sight ;)!
I said goodbye to my big brother Hotte, and of course he gave me some sweets for my new host :)! Then he gave me a big hug and told me to take care! After mommy also hugged me - I almost couldn't breathe - I crawled into my travelope!

See you very soon!

Love, Lucky

Hi Mum,
today I arrived at my new host's home. I am staying with Katja in Wuppertal now. Wuppertal is located in the German state North Rhine-Westphalia.

Katja, _Mishuta_ and Jasper gave me a warm welcome. They are saying "Thank you" for the candies I brought with me  :D

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1644/25744234442_01205288e6_z.jpg

Today we just had time for a quick overview from the balcony.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1613/25744235762_327cfd3627_z.jpg

Because the weather forecast sounds good Katja promised that we would take a walk tomorrow after work.

Hi Mum,
today the weather was fantastic, so we went for a walk immediately after finishing work. We met a friend of Katja and took a walk to "Hardt", a large landscape park. We started our trip close to the district court.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1597/25744237292_d28f29b848_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1708/25839123056_31f5b318e1_z.jpg

We went here by "Schwebebahn". This is a suspension railway which is travelling along the valley of river Wupper, mostly following the river. The Schweberahn route is about 12 km long and has 20 stations along the way. We had to leave the train at the station "Landgericht".

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1491/25234639594_f0a3d9c090_z.jpg

Hardt is a height inside the Wupper valley, so we had to walk uphill for some time to get there. On our way we had a good overview across the city.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1517/25744240182_baa823997f_z.jpg

On Hardt you can find lovely houses which were mostly built in Wilhellminian time.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1702/25234642234_e1a6b60708_z.jpg

Soon we reached the Botanical Garden. There is an information board in the entrance area showing some important data.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1625/25770104901_3e44054a91_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1628/25564510930_3b094a77ac_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1441/25234657344_108f15e810_z.jpg

A large area was planted with the most beautiful crocus.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1558/25564488250_aa9f325d8a_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1479/25238596923_834f243ba4_z.jpg

There is a lovely tower in entrance area - Eilse Tower. Elise Tower was built in 1838 A.D. as the garden's focal point.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1579/25865166085_33f24b9628_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1530/25865168795_a008dd531a_z.jpg

There is also a smaller "twin" of Elise tower - an insect hotel.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1479/25234650704_e9239a71f8_z.jpg

Of course in March there are not so many blooming flowers.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1650/25865174505_6136be6f7e_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1713/25839141596_5340eed48b_z.jpg

Next we took a walk in the large park.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1610/25865176875_148d3ed7c9_z.jpg

Katja told me that in spring and summer lots of people enjoyed being here, sitting on the lawns, relaxing or making music.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1693/25744256832_4ddd44ce9b_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1670/25744257892_839ae4a4c2_z.jpg

We found this exotic tree (not a sequoia!).

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1648/25770099681_0ddfe6ce0a_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1704/25839147116_c1708ebe97_z.jpg

You can also find greenhouses belonging to the Botanical Garden, they were already closed.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1471/25564508890_df387746a8_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1499/25234664364_a9f1961f45_z.jpg

Can you see the three-part building located at that hill in the right part of the next picture? This building belongs to a well-known insurance company. My current home is in the vicinity of this company building.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1720/25234669824_5e1f27a45f_z.jpg

Hi Mum,
unfortunately the fantastic weather is over, nontheless Katja showed me the city centre of Wuppertal-Elberfeld today. We left the Schwebebahn in the city.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1580/25268386974_3d2bd8c606_z.jpg

The Schwebebahn (suspended monorail ) is one of the city’s greatest attractions. It was established in 1901. The tracks are 8 m above the streets and 12 m above the Wupper River. Here you can see one of 20 stations along the 13,3 km long route.  This station is built in a modern style while others were restored in their original historic appearance.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1519/25272398183_b5cf955c5e_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1473/25780341942_83e560a14e_z.jpg

This is one of the shopping streets. You can find lots of bars here ...

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1681/25600540970_66db57906d_z.jpg

... and a funny statue. It is called "A new successful day".

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1651/25462611523_ce4cb3f88b_z.jpg

This is the city hall, built in 1900 in gothic revival style. The fountain in front of it on Neumarkt is a copy of the Neptun's fountain in Trento/Italy.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1584/25972661822_0b3a0d0a60_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1515/25998869961_3f34f815fd_z.jpg

In the pedestrian area you can find the "Uhrenmuseum", run by a local jeweler family.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1498/25462612973_e0319394d1_z.jpg

This is another famous museum. The Von der Heydt Museum includes works by artists from the 17th century to the present time. They already had important exhibitions here, a Monet-exhibition five years ago for example. The building was the city-hall of Elberfeld once.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1473/25998870621_54faf50d01_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1611/25998870871_4ee8b9602e_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1482/25998871161_00f3e3b7c0_z.jpg

You can find lots of historical company buildings along river Wupper. Wuppertal was well known for its textile industry and cloth mills once.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1592/25780344432_d2f28b0660_z.jpg

Here you can admire another main sight of Wuppertal: a giant building site. A vast area including a national highway (B7), a central bus terminal and the entrance area of the central station are rebuilded. The project is planned to last from summer 2014 till summer 2017. This means lots of traffic jams and detours for drivers and also for pedestrians.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1632/25875230616_4966d97742_z.jpg

Time to walk home. Here you can see the official sign for the Schwebebahn stations.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1569/25998871781_891f51bc1c_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1518/25268392484_957cfa3282_z.jpg

You can find about 400 public stairs in Wuppertal, to make it easer for people to reach the areas at the steep slopes of the valley. They often have more than 100 steps. We often take this one on our way home. The great overview compensates the 100 steps  :D

Hi Mum,
Katjas often takes her neighbour's dog Jule out for a walk. Today we picked up Jule, took the Schwebebahn to Barmen, bought a special knitting yarn and walked back home through several parks and forests.

Wuppertal in its present borders was formed during 1929 by merging the industrial cities of Barmen and Elberfeld and also several further communities.

A former tram track is planted with daffodil.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1499/26038817136_d8f3196d16_z.jpg

Soon we left the actual city area and reached a lovely landscape park, Barmer Anlagen. There are two parts, a smaller one and a large one emering into a forest, divided by a large road.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1536/25998422971_2a8661c434_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1496/25972219582_068c8593f3_z.jpg

Like always, taking a walk means uphill, uphill, uphill.... Wuppertal is a city for people and donkeys with a decent level of fitness  :p

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1670/26064762735_b29f51e2b7_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1605/25459992434_90956bc075_z.jpg

During autumn and winter a lot of trees were fell.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1484/25998425861_123be5c186_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1711/25459993274_b320c33deb_z.jpg

What is this? This silvery thing looks a bit weird in the forest.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1617/25459993544_8e3600f537_z.jpg

Katja told me that Wuppertal is the home of a British sculptor, Tony Cragg. He created a sculture park in a forest. Maybe we will visit it while I am staying here.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1675/26064765255_364457d8e8_z.jpg

It looks interesting with all the different reflections on its surface.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1480/25791906130_89f5c3c67b_z.jpg

New green leaves - it seems that spring is on its way to us  :D

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1651/25791906590_f53b6efbf7_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1606/26038824106_4fd00153b3_z.jpg

Jule is also saying Hello.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1538/25462176263_2dfa056fa2_z.jpg

In the meantime we reached another part of the forest.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1656/25791908450_6378cd133e_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1448/25791908760_6a1a1cb86a_z.jpg

No more photos now, it was already rather late and it was beginning to get dark, so we had to hurry a bit. In the end the route was almost 8 km long.

Hi Mum,
today Katja showed me where she grew up. She was born and lived in Remscheid until summer 2014 when she moved to Wuppertal. She grew up in the historic district Lennep.

Lennep is the second largest district of Remscheid with about 25.000 inhabitants. Lennep once was one of the most important cities of the region Bergisches Land.

Lennep has an historical city core based on a medieval structure. There were several large city fires, the last one in the year 1746 which destroyed most of the city. It was rebuilt afterwards. Lennep received its town charter between the years 1259 and 1276- In 1929 Lennep was annexated to Remscheid.

The city core is characterized by timber-framed houses and houses covered with slate, the houses usually having a green door and green shutters.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1688/25634844543_fb7dc2a0aa_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1702/26145069532_3409acae07_z.jpg

Here you can see remains of the historic city wall.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1682/26211600576_99ba3e84e4_z.jpg

Look at those narrow lanes.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1447/25964627670_e7fec1fbf2_z.jpg

This is the market place with one of two churches in the city centre.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1489/26145072232_72b3e808b1_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1660/25632767414_97629862cd_z.jpg

A well-known scientist was born in Lennep - Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, founder of the X-rays. He was born here in March 1845. The Roentgen-Museum is located here.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1508/26145073882_8d9c394b30_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1453/26171234731_0e32838d3b_z.jpg

The heraldic animal of Remscheid is a lion (a very special one, with two tails). In 2014 the "Lions Parade" was celebrated. Those large lions were decorated and can be found in many places in Remscheid.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1542/26171235731_649cff6d1e_z.jpg

Klosterkirche was the chapel of a monastery once, today it is used as an event location A really restaurant can also be found here.

... and a nearby park.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1663/25964634380_e9da7d0913_z.jpg

After our walk in the city we went to visit Katja's Mum. She is living in a home for the elderly. They are keeping some animals here, Cameroon sheep and a donkey named Kasimir. Unfortunately Kasimir was not willing to say hello to me.

Hi Mum,
today we bought flowers for the balcony. Of course I helped to put the flowers into their pots. We bought hornet violet, primrose and tunic flower.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1494/25632787924_bed04f86fc_z.jpg

I was not the only one to help Katja  :D Katja's pets also helped (or at least they thought they would help). To be honest, they caused chaos! Katja told me that ferrets ALWAYS caused chaos  :D  :D

These are Shiva and Zähnchen.

Hi Mum,

today we met a friend of Katja in Remscheid and took a walk in the forest with her. We started our trip in a rural district close to a large stadion.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1713/25632776084_bb5f660b24_z.jpg

Soon we reached the forest.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1712/26145082112_7ce35a3daa_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1636/26171242441_acd93a8ed9_z.jpg

Sometimes you can find pieces of artwork in the forest, like this statue which more than 2 m tall.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1485/25964637970_8b99b8ce7e_z.jpg

Here you can see Muengsten Bridge, Germany's highest railway bridge. It is under construction for more than three years now, but nontheless it is crossed by trains.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1470/26171243131_500395568d_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1549/26237534995_7482965e56_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1594/25964639330_57d9676ed8_z.jpg

We walked downhill some time and reached river Wupper. The river is marking the border between Remscheid and the neighbour city Solingen here.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1670/26145085242_094fcbf824_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1715/25632780544_8786d24560_z.jpg

The soil was covered with wood anemone.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1687/25634862233_e7da63a77d_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1535/26211616586_22de7a523d_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1488/26145088312_ba7e519e13_z.jpg

There were some sources along the slope of the valley building small waterfalls.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1679/25634864123_e5740369ff_z.jpg

Later we walked underneath Muengsten Bridge which is overspanning the valley of river Wupper. This bridge was built in early 20th century, it is 107 m tall and about 500 m long.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1458/26237540945_606649622a_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1641/26145089892_2a6fde72fa_z.jpg

What a great scaffolding!

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1518/25632784314_8ca7f4e59a_z.jpg

We reached a lovely outlook pavilion then.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1506/26145091262_ef6d7896df_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1710/26145091822_2b1210c4aa_z.jpg

This is the view into one direction ...

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1717/26211621236_40b65fa0fc_z.jpg

... and towards Muengsten Bridge and the leisure park which was created under the bridge.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1496/25632786314_48c9be0752_z.jpg

From here we had to walk all the way uphill.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1710/25634867983_232ec66b01_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1680/26145093482_e4b2dbeff9_z.jpg

I think that Germany's highest railway bridge could count as a famous German sight  :D

Hi Mum,
like often after work we took a walk in the city, dog Jule accompanying us. Today we went to Hardt, where I already have been (this hill with the lovely Botanical garden). The view across the valley is great. Yopu can see that there are woodland areas all around the city.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1554/25724556004_38bc997992_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1684/26237010152_52814656dc_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1586/26263198941_a7bf86390f_z.jpg

We walked through a part of the park where you are allowed to let your dog run without its leash.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1710/25724557484_16372ba171_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1634/26303469196_a3309e43ab_z.jpg

We crossed Hardt and had a look at the opposite slope of the Wupper valley.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1569/26237012192_bdeb10dd63_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1486/26056560120_2c7bdf7fa5_z.jpg

This is one of about 140 Bismarck monuments  in Germany which were erected in many parts of the German Empire in honour of the long-serving Prussian minister-president and first German Reichskanzler, Prince Otto von Bismarck.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1561/25726656933_2f7003e7ed_z.jpg

We left Hardt by using one of several hundreds of public stairs.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1488/26329428655_9940f8f52a_z.jpg

Next we walked through a district called "Ostersbaum", one of the "old" districts which many old houses still remaining here.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1612/26056562250_89da6b95ae_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1547/26303473256_b060ab02f4_z.jpg

The streets are narrow and the quarter is generally densely built.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1542/25726660583_0237af4765_z.jpg

We stopped in a small park to let Jule play with two other dogs. In the meantime I rested for a while.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1675/26056563850_37ea853d01_z.jpg

I like this funny coloured house  :D

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1541/26056564290_8e630a60e9_z.jpg

Just a few moments after taking this photo it began to hail and we had to look for shelter. That's April  :p

Hi Mum,
the weather was fantastic today so we decided to take a really long walk, once more taking Jule with us. We walked to a nearby wooded area called "Friedrichsberg".

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1619/25743563104_2b721dc2a6_z.jpg

Like so often, the overview across the city was great. This time we looked across the city centre of Elberfeld.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1551/26075562400_4fd8a97f32_z.jpg

In the background you can see the university, built in the 1970s years. The complex is constantly enlarged and the university has several outposts in Elberfeld.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1505/26256037572_367738ef8d_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1451/26075563740_2a7aef12b6_z.jpg

"Baby trees" are growing everywhere.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1513/25745670893_32bfb6ee8b_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1627/26348437715_6e2c1d01ea_z.jpg

We reached an area which is called "Königshöhe". We found an old marker, it was called "Königstann" about  100 years ago.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1691/26075565380_9677321314_z.jpg

Next we walked through a housing area.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1567/25745672713_3a4ce382ab_z.jpg

We reached a special place then, an arboretum. Do you know what an arboretum is? An arboretum is a collection of trees. From 1900 A.D. trees from other continents were planted. After WW II especially trees from Northern America were planted in search of fast growing trees. The arboretum is a vast area and we followed a hiking trail which is leading across the area.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1657/26075566700_8876f2a471_z.jpg

Of course all the broadleaf trees are still bare-branched, the conifers were obviously not only domestic trees.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1543/25745674073_36b5c8d613_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1451/26075568330_b88de1deb9_z.jpg

We had to follow this yellow hiking sign.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1540/26348441875_771cbb2290_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1691/26348442285_132c2d6c07_z.jpg

These are trees from Northern America, mostly giant fir.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1463/26256044742_a632ce3b0b_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1690/26322485486_cd829b47bf_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1689/26075571580_dfb91225f8_z.jpg

I hope that nobody can see that these are only three-leaf clover  :D (Katja said that maybe a hungry mouse has eaten away all the fourth leafes  :p )

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1596/26322486866_c22cef86c2_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1635/26075573000_91cfe12a78_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1703/26348446065_d67986b708_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1617/25745681133_d54fea112a_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1715/26322489486_28baf15fd1_z.jpg

Highway L74 is marking the border of the arboretum.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1623/26256050502_76f43e3b77_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1492/26075576370_7aec3712b3_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1673/26348451035_9193503fb9_z.jpg

A lot of hiking trails are crossing this area. The large "W" for example is a hiking trail around the municipal area of Wuppertal, about 120 km long.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1688/25745686453_315d1f45b8_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1458/26075581700_17488c9c5f_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1528/26256057352_ab301cee20_z.jpg

I found an abandoned bird's nest in a toppled tree.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1691/26256058372_b08680cdc6_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1719/26282224881_86f224b03e_z.jpg

We almost reached the "end" of the arboretum. Here you can find one shorter trail with special trees from Europe and Eurasia and another one with trees from Northern America. On these special paths you can find information boards for the respective trees.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1620/26256059332_15468094f2_z.jpg

Yes, these trees are tall!

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1486/26348457985_5739ae001d_z.jpg

And the sequoias are even taller!

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1485/26282226571_1566a253d8_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1625/26348458845_e133279532_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1649/26256061912_447394f787_z.jpg

The walking path is ending in the district Cronenberg, one of the historic districts of Wuppertal. We still had to walk for almost half an hour to reach the small city core. On the way to get there we saw lovely blooming trees and bushes, like this star magnolia.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1473/25745694443_4217569d7d_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1582/26282228661_4da2612602_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1524/26282229231_bba919a274_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1544/25745696023_4593018175_z.jpg

The houses are really pretty.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1719/25743590274_38841270c7_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1596/26256065412_9db1976aba_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1541/26282231151_c3f30810bb_z.jpg

After walking for almost 14 km we were almost starving, so Katja bought delicious french fries for us and later we took a bus to get home.

Maybe we will visit the arboretum again to walk along those "special" paths.

Hi Mum,
I played with the ferrets today. There are four of them: Zähnchen (8 years in summer), Shiva (7,5 years in summer), Charlotte and MollyMops (3 years in summer). It is quite difficult to take photos of ferrets, because they are so playful and always fooling around. Here you can see ferret bums ... (after they knocked me over)

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1459/26546319945_c4523991f3_z.jpg

... ferret backs...

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1679/26520310346_dfcd37a734_z.jpg

... Charlotte and me ... (Charlotte is a well-behaved ferret)

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1551/26273439270_ca1cf8a4b1_z.jpg

... ok, not too well-behaved  :D ...

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1496/25941336244_9588be9397_z.jpg

... and MollyMops and me (Molly is a beauty, but a real goop)

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1720/25943392413_9f6940f9e0_z.jpg

... YES, a horrible goop.

Hi Mum,

the weather was fantastic today, so we took a walk when Katja finished work. We took the Schwebebahn to Elberfeld and got out at "Robert-Daum-Platz", a major intersection.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1457/26453313532_78e24703f1_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1710/25942726853_f0abe5b8a3_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1616/26453315122_a0fc13eb5d_z.jpg

We walked towards a quater called "Briller Viertel", you can find lots of the most beautiful mansions here, most of them originally built by manufacturers in late 19th or early 20th century.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1697/26479576711_ba0939bc8a_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1678/26479577221_5481acfd05_z.jpg

Ooops, this is not a mansion, but a train station!

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1478/26479577751_f3b56091dc_z.jpg

Katja told me that this WAS  a station once. We reached the so-called "Nordbahntrasse", a closed former railway track. It was re-built to a lane for pedestrians, bikers and inline skaters. In the municipal area of Wuppertal this track is about 23 km long, altoghether it is much longer as it does not only belong to Wuppertal, but is following the complete former track. The conversion was initiated by citizen's movement.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1582/25942730273_ec9bce244c_z.jpg

You can often find industrial sites along railway tracks, here also. Partly abandoned sites as well as those where there is still worked in.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1614/26479579201_b86726725a_z.jpg

Graffito are allowed here.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1661/25942731753_66b37aab99_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1549/26453319552_8fe53e4aa0_z.jpg

There are also several tunnels, sometimes rather short ones, but there is one about 500 long!

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1510/26479580811_8b8a0749de_z.jpg

Each tunnel has its own illumination style, red and white here.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1535/25942733383_ca6a4b1772_z.jpg

We reached the so-called Nordstadt, a large coherent old building area.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1570/25940679994_2974535b3d_z.jpg

This is not a desert, but the laydown of a big building site - a bridge has to replaced by a new one.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1590/26453321752_c04706da9f_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1582/25942735383_ca489bc190_z.jpg

This is also an interesting place, the former station "Mirke". Nowadays a sociocultural centre can be found here. There is a bar, a service station for bikes - just a lovely place to enjoy free time.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1530/26453323162_dd7c61844d_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1714/25940682624_4e6ee60fb5_z.jpg

We found an information board.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1528/26519656726_651eba67f4_z.jpg

We started our trip in Ottenbruch and we will leave the track after passing Ostersbaum.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1650/26545665165_6d4d8bfea5_z.jpg

This building look more or less abandoned  :D

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1521/26272785820_196763e407_z.jpg

Another interesting place: The track is crossing one of the main streets here. (The historic factory building is gorgeous!)

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1671/26479587431_567b8a4139_z.jpg

Can you see the bridge in the background of the next picture? This is the A46 motorway.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1692/25942739843_ac2aa5240a_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1573/26519659936_2c5ea65451_z.jpg

There is the district Ostersbaum behind me, I was there a week ago.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1612/25942740903_897e1f44a7_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1651/26545669785_c0fa85bc60_z.jpg

Another tunnel came into sight...

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1550/26519662456_edf6bd92b5_z.jpg

... this time illuminated blue!

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1456/26479591151_4f90ec16b1_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1558/25940689794_5a87ec6122_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1443/25942744313_f7c0b2eb46_z.jpg

One more interesting point: The Lego Bridge.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1498/26479593041_7f71859631_z.jpg

In 2011, a graffiti and street artist repainted the bridge in the style of Lego bricks. The work was awarded the Deutscher Fassadenpreis Advancement Prize in 2012. Of course I cannot see it as long as I am standing ON it, so Katja promised that we would leave the Nordbahntrasse soon and then walk to the Lego-Bridge.

By the way, the green area in the background of the next picture is Hardt, the landscape park which I already visited twice. There are also allotment gardens along its slope, you can find lots of allotment gardens (about 8.000) all over the municipal area.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1461/26519665826_05f4e9561e_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1605/26479594731_52f297860c_z.jpg

We left the track here and reached the Lego-Bridge within a few minutes.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1615/26453333752_d5bab960fe_z.jpg

Wow! What a crazy bridge  :D :D :D

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1682/26479595921_90acc4b32e_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1692/26479597271_e3d487d541_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1646/25940695664_12b579e92d_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1497/26545677285_9c112e9be1_z.jpg

From here we walked to Ostersbaum, this time the climbed the large stair I already saw last week.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1678/25942750653_b2410ebbd1_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1658/26479599851_081b0faf9b_z.jpg

Here, on top of this hill, there is Platz der Republik. It was first created in the 1820s years as a military drill ground. Later it became a park for the citizens of this quarter. There are also many beautiful old buildings here.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1468/25940698444_fcd0466131_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1528/25940699254_98f48c36a4_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1571/26545681075_def4e547a4_z.jpg

There is a beautiful fountain in the park, called "Gerechtigkeitsbrunnen". It was a present once from an manufacturer on the occasion of the 300-years-celebration of Elberfeld in the year 1910.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1569/26519674396_47ac1369f8_z.jpg

From here we walked to the city centre.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1698/26453342962_27e257b199_z.jpg

Here you can see the Schwebebahnstation "Hauptbahnhof/Döppersberg" with parts of the gigantic building site.

We walked along river Wupper towards the next station.

The company building of a provident bank is one of the best-known landmarks of Wuppertal.

We walked uphill to get home. We came across the historical concert hall.

Katja is living in the so-called Südstadt, located on the Southern slope of the valley, above this main road.

Hi Mum,
today we started a walk on the Nordbahntrasse just where we left it yesterday.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1610/26549297962_1830367002_z.jpg

Once more we found fascinating grafitto.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1503/26616186066_8085fbeeb9_z.jpg

It's hard to believe, but there is a beekeeper at the Nordbahntrasse. His bees are producing honey from robinia in early summer and a different honey during the rest of summer. You can buy this honey here, just from his garden.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1550/26642787955_4267cc1c4e_z.jpg

Next we walked along an estate with a large garden. This garden is decorated with the funniest things from household, toys etc.

Here you can see teddy bears in roller skates...

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1621/26642788945_b4200166af_z.jpg

... or plants in tin boxes or buckets ...

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1582/26039056833_4e8a829115_z.jpg

... or in a meat mincing machine.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1687/26642791745_ae45a22922_z.jpg

Another former station ... here a separate track for handcars is starting.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1597/26642792365_020a0b7b24_z.jpg

We almost reached the district Barmen, the second largest district of Wuppertal. Here are several bridges with a fantastic overview.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1706/26642793085_0bfa8f13ff_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1677/26036807994_5b265116b2_z.jpg

Another tunnel, much longer than those we walked through yesterday.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1717/26036808764_2e23662770_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1544/26642796725_5d24fe8bdb_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1468/26642797445_360c181f91_z.jpg

We were standing on an historic viaduct, the renovation works are still going on.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1718/26369373430_583a12fc11_z.jpg

Here we left the Nordbahntrasse.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1675/26369375240_38ff1b1fb6_z.jpg

This apartment complex is quite a contrast to the city itself :)

Hi Mum,
today we went to Barmen to go shopping. Katja's daughter got engaged this week, we had to buy some special things for making delicious cupcakes.

Here you can find the "Historic centre" with the house where Friedrich Engels grew up, a social scientist and journalist, one of "Marx and Engels", founder of Marxist Theory. He lived from 1820 till 1895. Nowadays the Museum for early industrialism is also located here, with an adjoining park along the main street.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1706/26036813144_91cb62cbc5_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1526/26039067783_4907572f0c_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1449/26549313712_eb507623da_z.jpg

This is old man Friedrich Engels.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1561/26577069681_fae88b93b2_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1679/26369390070_82cab779c7_z.jpg

From here we had to walk just for a few minutes to reach the shopping streets. You can also find one of Tony Cragg's shiny sculptures here.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1573/26642813655_9a848448f3_z.jpg

Those pillars belong to the Schwebebahn station, they are also visible from the viaduct at the Nordbahntrasse.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1715/26642814455_2b686489c2_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1546/26039071623_bb79ac5068_z.jpg

The shopping streets ...

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1529/26642816725_f6d07946ba_z.jpg

There is a funny story which belongs to Wuppertal like the Schwebebahn , it took place in 1950 and an elephant was leading character ... I will tell you later about this. But this story is the reason why there are so many elephant sculptures, pictures etc. in Wuppertal.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1496/26039072583_cb3fa66213_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1537/26642819015_b81b321b84_z.jpg

This is the city hall of Barmen.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1487/26577076531_08464da4bd_z.jpg

Katja told me that behind the city hall there was something much more interesting, a brewhouse!!! Really, this sounds really thrilling! I hope we will have a look at the rear side of the city hall one day :D

Hi Mum,

today we met Katja's friend Kerstin and took a walk with her and her dog Pepe. Jule also accompanied us. We went to Scharpenacken, a former army training area. This area was used for military purposes until 2004 A.D as a shooting range. Today there is a local recreation area with vast open areas.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7387/26797710105_86e3dd7bc1_z.jpg

A lot of people come here with their dogs, because they can be here without their leashes, they can run and play as much they like and they will always find other dogs to play with.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7233/26797710295_69426bae12_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7627/26797710885_1453311482_z.jpg

There is a house in the forest, far away from civilization :)

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7522/26797711145_5dd9d122dd_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7611/26797711385_250d4d7e4b_z.jpg

We reached a park area, the park was created by a factory owner once. I think it will be wonderful in a few weeks when all the trees are green and rhododendron will be blooming.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7010/26773273106_ee205a2993_z.jpg

The landscape is lovely, isn't it?

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7396/26704561962_4b96abf00f_z.jpg

Kerstin went home to Remscheid by car and we took the way back home through the forest, thankfully mostly downhill. It took us about 40 minutes until the three-part company building came into sight. I know that we are almost home when I can see it :)

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7435/26704563002_5fc1235734_z.jpg

From here I can look across the valley towards Hardt, with the Botanical Garden.

Hi Mum,
today we took a shorter walk in the district Sonnborn, located in the West of Wuppertal. Well known in Sonnborn are the stadium and the zoo. The stadium still has its historical facade.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7341/26924772221_7fcaeb363c_b.jpg

Like always ;) we had to walk uphill to reach the forest.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7146/26387575204_6f181452be_b.jpg

We took a lovely path towards home in Elberfeld. From a hill we had a great overview across the valley of Wupper. Can you see two towers in the background of the next picture (on the left side)? A slim television tower and an angled one? Katja promised that we would have a look at those towers maybe at the weekend, because they belong to the best known landmarks of Wuppertal.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7430/26959820646_b3f57b8fbc_b.jpg

Our way back home took us along the railway track for a while, you can see the historical concert hall in the background.

Hi Mum,
today we went to Remscheid, the neighbour city where my current host has lived until late summer 2014. A special event was taking place here, it was called "Park Food". You could try street food from all over the world. It was really exciting! This event was taking place in the municipal park, we had to walk there from the city centre.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7545/26387588574_cb934dfec2_z.jpg

Remscheid is well known for its tool producing industry. These giant forceps at the entrance of the shopping street are reminding everybody of this fact.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7775/26387589324_a87afd4d03_z.jpg

This is the city hall with its characteristic tower which is 48 m tall.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7330/26959829336_fb9b336732_z.jpg

We almost reached the municipal park. Close to it there is another small park in front of the police headquarter. The pillar is showing the coat of arms of Remscheid and the names of the twin cities.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7314/26389268083_200a2d56ba_z.jpg

In the municipal park there were lots of food booth and food trucks. I was almost starving!

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7749/26898982362_89d30442ea_z.jpg

At this booth Katja and her friend had delicious burritos, Katja a veggie version and Kerstin the one with beef.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7692/26898983762_fd111733ee_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7061/26898985692_38edae7fb7_z.jpg

There was so much different food: Sweets, pasta, all kinds of burgers, Thai food, Chinese food etc.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7075/26898986472_f353b198fb_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7527/26387595734_6b39588fe4_z.jpg

Here we tried Chinese dim sum filled with shrimps.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7225/26387596054_46496daf4c_z.jpg

This crèpe booth is the cutest booth I have ever seen :)

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7555/26387596794_34a1ab6454_z.jpg

Then the ladies tried fried Pirozhki from Poland, delicious fried buns stuffed with vegetables and sour cream, served with a really hot sauce made of beetroot and horseradish. Then unfortunately it was time to take the bus home.

Hi Mum,

today we walked along a hiking path along the Northern slope of Wupper valley. On this hiking path you cross several alltoment garden areas, the whole walkway is about 10 km long.

We started our trip in the garden plot "Eschenbeek". Lots of fruit trees were blooming.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7344/26799634622_8af24beb61_z.jpg

Do you know this plant? It is wild garlic, you can often find it in the forest and along gardens.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7783/26859467106_99a88ebf21_z.jpg

The walking path was leading us through woodland areas as well as through housing areas...

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7363/26893242875_f37d64eea9_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7278/26893244435_667efbd2ce_z.jpg

... and more allotment gardens.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7444/26825556301_de12e13df7_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7412/26825557121_cf544478c8_z.jpg

The housing complex on the next picture is opposite of my current home, we can see it from the front window, located at the opposite slope of the valley.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7061/26825558031_97aa534a2a_z.jpg

Columbine is already blooming.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7424/26825558691_992c5f0291_z.jpg

This building complex is a hospital.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7378/26825559161_973ccb2d9c_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7781/26287884474_84b215e413_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7073/26287885044_b6b4fded7c_z.jpg

We had to walk uphill once more to reach the top of the hill. The angled tower is coming into sight!

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7105/26287885434_268441f93a_z.jpg

And also the television tower!

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7395/26287885924_c93ea5dab3_z.jpg

The angular tower (hidden behind the trees) is a water tower. It is called "Atadösken" because its shape reminded people of the packing of the scrubbing agend "Ata" when it was built in 1927.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7511/26825563021_b8f87c5f81_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7165/26825563561_a3db4c3b4c_z.jpg

When we reached another garden plot, it seemed we entered a completely different world. There was nothing to see from the city, only green.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7252/26825564071_8e6afb95c0_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7451/26825564581_c79f220d10_z.jpg

Already on the way back to the car ... we had a good view to the Southern slope of the valley.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7212/26288802193_ec6a195764_z.jpg

Next, the path led us through a landscape park...

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7032/26288802623_8e651f53a8_z.jpg

...and another garden plot. The large building in the background is a vocational school. Katja's daughter's final examination as a professional cook took place here some years ago.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7010/26288803123_0e7a2b747b_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7745/26288803423_70c6639ebf_z.jpg

The following building is the remaining part of "Teschemacher Hof" which was build in the 1630's years. It is one of the most outstanding and eldest timbered houses in Wuppertal-Elberfeld.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7424/26287890424_d5163cd3ac_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7651/26893272765_0ed5393c52_z.jpg

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7536/26825534661_bc9449a302_z.jpg

Really interesting, this passage way in the housing complex.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7701/26825535331_62e5d4c0a3_z.jpg

Soon we reached the car and went home to have a cool drink on the balcony.

Hi Mum,

we went on a weekend trip to Bad Driburg, a town and spa in Höxter district in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. We stayed in a wonderful hotel which is situated in the "Gräflicher Park", an English landscape park which goes back to the 1820 years. In the city itself you can find a lot of half-timbered houses.

today we went to the city centre of Bad Driburg, enjoyed ice-cream and strolled around.

https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8160/28589119695_dcde87f4be_z.jpg

Bad Driburg is also well known for its glassworks, located here since 13th century. We found a respective statue of a glassblower.

Later we visited the Iburg, the ruin of an ancient hill castle. It goes back to the Saxon wars in 8th century.

There are really only ruins left, the tower is the only remaining building, and just because it is being restored.

There are also the outlines of the former chapel.

Afterwards we had a drink in the nearby restaurant "Sachsenklause" with a fantastic view across the landscape.

Not too far from Bad Driburg we visited the Wewelsburg, a Renaissance castle in the village of Wewelsburg. The castle has a triangular layout - three round towers connected by massive walls.

From the outside the triangular shape is almost not noticable. It looks quite normal :)

Inside the courtyard the shape is visable. The castle is containing a museum and a youth hostel nowadays.

It was time to drive home then.
