Hello Mum,

I arrived in Sülfeld today. Dicker Kumpel gave me a warm welcome.

Then he introduced me to the others.

It was Christmas Time here - so they have a tree inside the house - strange people...

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A2010c/A_0061.jpg

And outside there is snow. Where did you sent me to, Mum?

I will write more soon.

Hello Mum,

today we went to a small town called Bad Oldesloe. RikeH went to school there - many years ago. The weather was not so nice - it was getting warmer - and most of the snow is away now. There is a small river in the city.

This was the view into the other direction.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0003.jpg

There were nice old buildings.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0006.jpg

And an interesting monument.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0008.jpg

The last things we saw were a nice fountain and the town hall.

Many greetings

Hi Mum,

today we made a walk around Sülfeld.Look, this is the nice old church.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0011.jpg

On the other side of the street is the pharmacy. Don't worry - I am not ill. I only liked this building.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0012.jpg

Another beautiful building is this old school.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0013.jpg

The mayor lives here.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0014.jpg

The house has a nice big door.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0015.jpg

Next week we will go to Hamburg - just wait for more updates.

Hello Mum,

We went to Hamburg today. RikeH had to work, but maybe we can make a walk in her lunch break.

We took the train to Hamburg.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0024.jpg

It was dark outside.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0025.jpg

Well - we helped RikeH with her work all the day - and didn't went out on the lunch break,  but we made a walk after the work was done. This is the place where we worked:

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0027.jpg

Near to it is a theatre.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0028.jpg

We went to a nice lake in the city centre. It was a great view!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0031.jpg

On the way to the Trainstation we stopped at a nice house - called Levante-Haus.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0034.jpg

Look - there are funny animals in it.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0035.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0036.jpg

The house is really beautiful.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0040.jpg

We had to look, where our train will start.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0041.jpg

A view over the trainstation.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0044.jpg

We drove back with this train.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0045.jpg

Mum, I am proud to say, that I didn't smoke since I am here in Germany.  :D

Hi Mum,

A new TV arrived today - he is called Bobi and seemed to be a nice guy.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0050.jpg

He arrived just in the right time, because we will make a nice trip this weekend.
We visited a nice town called Nienburg. This is the townhall.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0052.jpg

There was a funny fountain. With aspargus.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0055.jpg

Can you see me?

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0056.jpg

It was time to eat something delicious. But no aspargus.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0051.jpg

Then we continued our walk. What a nice tower.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0059.jpg

And a big church. How beautiful.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0061.jpg

I loved this statue in front of the church.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0065.jpg

The last building was a museum. We didn't went into it, because the weather was so great.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0067.jpg

Then we jumped into the car. Tomorrow we will see something great - RikeH told us, but we didn't know what.

Hi Mum,

We went to a Darts Tournament in Halle. Many great players were there.
Here you can see Phil Taylor - the best of all, I think.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0071.jpg

Here were some of the other players - it was great to stay near to the players.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0075.jpg

So many people were here - but only two bunnies.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0077.jpg

It was so interesting.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0080.jpg

We had such a great day. Maybe I will become a Darts-Player.

Hi Mum,

we visited a Hanseatic city today - called Lübeck. It is a very nice city - and the City Centre is a Unesco Place.

We started with the Holstentor. It is very famous in Germany - it was on one bill for many years here.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0086.jpg

Now you see it from the other side.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0089.jpg

There were nice buildings next to the river.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0094.jpg

And old storehouses.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0093.jpg

Then we went to the place next to the townhall.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0098.jpg

There was a skating rink. We wanted to try it - what they hadn't small shoes for us.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0097.jpg

So we continued our walk. The last photo shows the other side of the townhall - a very beautiful house.

Hello Mum,

Today it is time to say goodbye for me, but yesterday we went to Hamburg. Here you see me in front of the planetarium.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0114.jpg

We saw a great movie about the stars, then we made a walk through the park.
There was a big lake - with a little ice on it.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0117.jpg

Nice trees were next to the lake.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0118.jpg

Fortunately no one was in danger in the lake, so we made this photo.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0122.jpg

Later we went into the city center. Here you see the townhall.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0125.jpg

Near to it there is the Lake Alster - with nice buildings around.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0126.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0127.jpg

I loved the view - and the clouds were so beautiful.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0134.jpg

Now I will jump into my envelope and go to my next host. I said goodbye to Dicker Kumpel.
We became good friends.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0135.jpg

He and Bobi gave me a big hug.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2011/B_0136.jpg

But before I leave I want to say :

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!

First we did a joke with "Petunia".

Hey Mummy,
I´m sorry, that I didn´t write so often. I´ve a lot of fun in Germany and my host is waiting for her marriage, so she has a lot to do :)

But now I wanna show you some impressions of the last weeks :)

We visited the Library and took some books for the hosts lessons. She is a teacher.
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/CIMG1674.jpg
and then we drove to Düsseldorf. We ate something and watched old cars.

My hosts car isn´t a Cabrio but we wanted to drive outside...
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/CIMG1682.jpg
We sat there but... she said we have to come in  :(
Our host was a little bit confused, when we used her wardrobe
WE HAD A LOT OF FUN  :rolleyes: :p

Hello to you :)
We celebrated a great wedding day with my hosts...
The host dad was to shy to come on the pictures but the bride was happy to celebrate with me :)))

It was hard not to smoke on a party but I was hard and didnt smoke

http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/DSC_0056.jpg
But I think instead of smoking I love to eat now :)
The wedding cake was too good

Hey Mommy,
we had a great time in Belgium with the scouts.
First the weather wasn´t fine and my host was sick but then it was a great weekend.
We went to Belgium by bus.
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0132.jpg
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0135.jpg
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0136.jpg
It was so much fun and everywhere German scouts (11-16 years old) and of course the leaders ...
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0139.jpg
The first night was cold and it was pretty good to sleep with my friends so we could warm each other :)
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0202.jpg
In the morning I enjoyed the silence because I woke up really early. So I took the time to read a book. But this was the last time for reading.
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0207.jpg
In this camp, called Intercamp were around 2500 scouts from different countries (England, Belgium, Netherlands, France, Switzerland, America, Canada, Tschechien, Poland and Germany).
It was a great view from the banner and gaming point to the tents
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0215.jpg
The Intercamp flag was yellow like the sun
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0219.jpg
and so much children played ... me too :)
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0227.jpg

http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0231.jpg
My host printed a T-Shirt with the Intercamp 2011 Logo and I tried to wear it, but it was a bit to small ;)
and she let me use her Gilwell ... WOWWWWWW

Hello Guys,
I was on honeymoon... ok .. it wasn´t my honeymoon but the hosts honeymoon.
It was pretty good. But let´s start at the beginning.
We landed in Dublin and they lost our luggage :( so we had to wait about 2 hours but I played a little bit.
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0572.jpg
The first week I gone for a daily donkey walk. It was so great to see all the green and the nature.
The donkeys "John-Willy" and "Hero were really nice.
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0637.jpg
The donkey on the picture is "John-Willy", he had to take me in his luggage all the time .. ;)
The nature was so adorable. I saw a lot of fantastic places and ruins.
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0648.jpg
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0647.jpg
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0658.jpg
This is "Hero", he was the younger one.
It was a great time in the nature but there wasn´t so much time to photograph all the impressions.
So, I went on to Dublin City for a week and saw so much more and had more time to stop.

Posted Sep 2, 2011, 9:04 pm
The second week was so loud and full of music and fun.
I started with a sightseeing through the city.
I saw a man who made great pictures with chalk.
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0771.jpg
The weather was good but on the "needle" I had a big cloud in the backround
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0776.jpg
I went to the Leprechaun Museum (don´t do that, if you´ll go to Dublin - I was bored but the Leprechaun was so funny that I wanted to show him to you)
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0780.jpg
Here was the entry of the "losing money museum"
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0790.jpg
My host Mom had fun with me
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/P1050086.jpg
Of course I saw a lot of pubs and I loved the atmosphere in there ... but I just took a picture for you infront of the pub.
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0789.jpg
(too much beer ...  :rolleyes:)
It was a little bit romantic on the bridge in Dublin.
http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/eurydike1/IMG_0796.jpg
The half penny bridge is called like this because in the 19th century the took a half penny from the people so they could cross it and go to the other side.

It was a typical Irish church.
One day I met some nice girls but they didn´t spoke to me... sad but so I just stopped by and left them soon.

It was a museum with a viking and a medieval section.

Sad but true they got us in the Medieval ;) Little joke but I took the host Mom with me for these pictures
It wasn´t allowed to take any photos in the library of the Trinity College. But it was so great that I bought 2 postcards and made a picture in the hotel for you

One of the last days I went to Bray. It is 45 minutes away from Dublin and I had a great day on the beach and in the sun.
