BlackCat Posted Dec 20, 2010, 5:04 am	Hey ! Today Fabi and her best friend went to Cologne. Her best friend is a big fan of bears, so Michel and I were allowed to go with them. We didn't do a lot, just made some photos for her best friend of a restaurant and then we were allowed to go to the Rhine and watch the boats. It was already dark so the pictures are not so nice, I am sorry. Close to the part of the Rhine where we were was a little tower which looked really cute. We don't know what kind of tower it was, but it looks really old, or? Love from Cologne, Barney
BlackCat Posted Dec 20, 2010, 5:13 am	Hey ! Today we went to the Margarethenhöhe in Essen. Here is a quote from wikipedia: Quote: Gartenstadt Margarethenhöhe: Founded by Margarethe Krupp in 1906, the garden city with its 3092 units in 935 buildings on an area of 115 ha (284.2 acres) (of which 50 ha are woodland) is considered the first of its kind in Germany. All buildings follow the same stylistic concept, with slight variations for each one. Although originally designed as an area for the lower classes with quite small flats, the old part Margarethenhöhe I has developed into a middle class residential area and housing space has become highly sought after. A new part, Margarehenhöhe II, was built in the 1960s and 1970s but is architecturally inferior and especially the multi-storey buildings are still considered social hot spots. It was so nice there with all the snow around us. Hope you like the pictures. Love, Barney
BlackCat Posted Dec 20, 2010, 5:32 am	Hey ! Today we went to the christmas market at the CentrO in Oberhausen. CentrO is a big shopping centre, but we didn't went inside. We were on the christmas market outside. Fabi made a lot pictures without us, which she wants to share with you as well. So first the ones without me and then the ones with me, okay? Fabi absolutely loves the cow bear. And now, finally, ME: Love, Barney
BlackCat Posted Dec 20, 2010, 5:42 am	Hey, today we went to Sealife in Oberhausen. It is like a zoo, just under water. We saw so much nice things and now I want to share some photos with you. First a group picture: We were all really excited what we will see there. Love, Barney
BlackCat Posted Dec 20, 2010, 6:04 am	Hey mum, we wanted to show you the snow outside, without going outside. So we all sit down at the window and tried to make a photo where you can see the snow. Snowy love, Barney
BlackCat Posted Jan 10, 2011, 8:34 am	Hey ! Today was a nice day. I had to help Fabi with baking Muffins, as her boyfriend Torsten has birthday tomorrow. So I had to make the dough and put it in muffin dishes. It was a lot of fun. Here we have some photos for you: They were really delicious when they were ready. So delicious, that I wasn't able to take a photo... sorry. Love, Barney
BlackCat Posted Jan 10, 2011, 8:51 am	Heyho, today we visited the cathedrale in Essen. It is a big church in the middle of the city and I really like it there. The garden of the cathedrale is really small and cute. We made some pictures there and with the outside of the cathedrale. Hope you like them. Even though it is in the middle of the city, it is always quiet here. I really loved it and we enjoyed it a lot. Love, Barney
BlackCat Posted Jan 10, 2011, 8:58 am	Merry Christmas Mum ! Today is Christmas Evening in Germany. In Germany the Christmas celebration starts today. In the Evening you come together with your family and eat cookies, listen to Christmas music and get the first presents. I don't have photos of that, but here Fabi and her boyfriend had to make some cookies before Christmas Evening celebration, so we helped them. Love, Barney
BlackCat Posted Jan 10, 2011, 9:14 am	Hey mum, Today Fabi wanted to show us a place where we can play in the snow. The problem was that Torsten wasn’t able to stop the car somewhere, as all the parking lots where full with snow. So Fabi and he decided that we have to stay inside the car for making photos. So you see us all in the car and snow outside. Have fun looking at the pictures. Love, Barney
BlackCat Posted Jan 10, 2011, 9:41 am	Hey, Today we went in a coal mine museum in Bochum. We even went down in a coal mine. There you can see what machines they used in coal mines and other mines. I am sorry I can’t explain what kind of machines you see on the photos. Fabi was tired and forgot to write down what machines we saw. But she can explain some other things. You will see. I hope you will like the pictures. First the group pictures of us all: This is a small train which drives in the coal mines. With Fabi =) This is a so called “Dahlbusch Bombe”. This thing was used in Chile as well for getting up the miners which were still in the mine without another chance of getting up. There you can see the coal. Some photos of me alone: An emergency part for a little train. Love, Barney
BlackCat Posted Jan 10, 2011, 9:46 am	Hey, today I was allowed to go shopping with Fabi. Just food shopping, but it was still a lot of fun. I was sitting in the bag of Fabi COOKIES Behind me: The meat corner Going to the joghurt Chocolate...everywhere chocolate... And last but not least: Vodka haha... Love, Barney
BlackCat Posted Jan 10, 2011, 9:50 am	Hey ! Today we celebrated New Years Eve with fondue. It was a lot of fun.

But we all counted the countdown... 10....9....8....7....6....5....4....3....2....1....HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! See you in 2011, Barney
BlackCat Posted Jan 10, 2011, 10:10 am	Hey, today we visited the coal mine Bonifacius. It isn't used anymore, but it still looks really nice. We made some photos for you, of course. And I was allowed to drive the car ! HAHAHA. Love, Barney
BlackCat Posted Jan 13, 2011, 9:55 am	Hey , today we had a walk at the river Ruhr. The Ruhr has flood at the moment and it is really high. The watergate is all open (which it is usually not) and there is a lot water coming out. We stand there and watched it and got wet...because of all the water. We made some nice photos of us at the Ruhr and at the watergate. Hope you enjoy them. Love, Barney
BlackCat Posted Jan 13, 2011, 10:04 am	Hey ! Today we went to see some industry. We saw the Henrichshütte in Hattingen. We didn't make a lot photos. Just one, to be true, as we were there by car and weren't able to go in as it was closed already (it was too late when we got there). Hope you still like it. Love, Barney
BlackCat Posted Jan 29, 2011, 2:27 am	Heyho, today we went to the river Ruhr again and had a long walk from there. I will show you all the photos of the whole day. It was such a long day. The ruhr was still flooded. You can see it on the picture. Under the bridge is normally no water. Do you see the water that is there now? After the walk there, we went to Heisingen (a district of Essen) and Fabi showed us a nice church. We made some group pictures. After that we went up to the Korte Klippe. It is a place above the Lake Baldeney and we had a wonderful view from there. Have a look at the pictures. I loved it. Love, Barney
BlackCat Posted Feb 2, 2011, 5:10 am	Hey, today we had to say Goodbye to Levi. He is leaving to his next host. Bye bye Levi ! Love, Barney

BlackCat Posted Mar 8, 2011, 6:44 am	Hey, Today I was allowed to join Fabi for a drive to Hattingen Blankenstein. Blankenstein was a little town a long time ago and is now a part of Hattingen. We went there because Fabi wanted to show us the castle Blankenstein. I saw the houses of this cute little town and I loved them. What do you think? It was a nice day, really. Love, Barney
BlackCat Posted Mar 10, 2011, 2:44 pm	Hey mum, I am on my way home. I will bring you two pieces of chocolate and I hope I can travel fast. I am already excited to be home soon. Love, Barney
