I love to climb trees !
Today, I climbed the flame tree in front of my house.
It was easy to climb up, but very difficult to climb down. In the end, I jumped in my mentor's arms.

I forgot to introduce myself : I live in Kissidougou with my mentor poissonrouge and the cat Fansidar.
My house used to be a school, but it is only a house now.
Look at the photo : yes, there is a closet outside... A friend of poissonrouge moved, and she could not take this closet with her. So she let it here, and one day it will be given to someone else. It can stay outside, because it will not rain for the next four months. And the objects inside are things poissonrouge does not want any more. She is waiting that someone says "Oh, why is this outside ? If I had one, I would put it inside !" And this person will receive the object. :rolleyes:

I just helped poissonrouge to change the wick of her petrol fridge.
Yes, a petrol fridge ! Even if it is quite a big town, there is no electricity in Kissidougou. Poissonrouge has a solar panel, but it is enough for a computer, not for a fridge !
You need all these things to change a wick, plus a lot of patience.
Now, I smell like petrol :mad:

Today, I went to work with poissonrouge, on her motorbike !
On Tuesday, she teaches french to adults. She made a vocabulary test today. I did not know any of the words she asked...
You can see the photo of the school house. Yes, it is a church ! There are no tables, but there is a blackboard inside, and many benches.

This morning, I helped poissonrouge wash the solar panels. During dry season, they have to be washed once a week, because although it is the season of sun, it is the season of dust, sand and ashes too. One of the two solar panels does not work any more, but poissonrouge says it will be replaced next month.

Now is the time for oranges !
In Guinea, oranges are not orange, they are green, or sometimes yellow.
Thoses oranges are ready to welcome new toy voyagers : Roary and Das Schweinchen. They should arrive here in a few hours. I can't wait to meet them !
poissonrouge


Posted Dec 20, 2011, 6:11 pm
I am not the only toy voyager any more here ! Roary and Das Schweinchen arrived yesterday, with Simba, who is not a toy voyager, but surely a great voyager anyway.
First thing in the morning : we swallowed our anti-malaria pills.
Then, we went for a walk in the bush. It was a nice day.

Today, we did a big walk. It went up and up and up and up. Finally, we discovered the town of Yendè from above. A very nice view.

Today, a very good car was needed, to go deep in the bush. There, we saw a wonderful waterfall. I did not fall in the water, but I tasted it : it was quite cold. There is a lot of water everywhere in Guinea.

I helped build a little door for the cat Fansidar. Fansidar learnt quick how to enter, but still has problems finding the way out.
Then, I cooked something in the solar oven.

Happy Christmas !
Today, we first noticed that there was tap water ! A good thing on a celebration day.
Then, we received new clothes, like everyone for Christmas.
After that, someone told us that there was diesel oil in town. We hurried, but we were too late : the truck just before us received the last drops.
So we went to church (late...). There was a lot of singing, and then the pastor spoke about the birth of Jesus, and then we ate a lot of rice all together : that is 747 people.
Next week, I will probably not be online : we are travelling in an area without Internet. So have a happy new year !

We did not make it... the car had a breakdown after a few kilometers, and we had to head back home. It is repaired now, and we will try again tomorrow.

In the morning, we visited a hospital. I especially liked the place where protesis are made.
Then, we drove to N'Zao : another hospital, and a nice place to stay for a holiday. And very practical, because tomorrow, we are going south, to... you'll see !

We did it !!! We looked for chimpanzees, and we found them ! I don't have a photo of me with the chimpanzees, but here is one poissonrouge should not have taken : with the forbidden flash... it was an accident. But the monkey did not take notice.
It was fantastic. We walked in the forest, then we heard some noise (chimpanzees are not quiet at all, they are always chatting or arguing), and finally we saw some black fur. We saw them eating, and scratching, and jumping, and running, we saw entire families... It was a great, great, great day !

Guess what it is ! Something dried, of course, but if you want to be know exactly what, and why we are drying these, ask Das Schweinchen and Roary.

Haha, look at what we received ! These can still be useful to someone here.

Hey, my dear Mummy at home in Africa!

I savely arrived in Lichtenfels. Woooooooooow, it is really cold here! Thank god I was welcomed very warmly by a few nice TVs!

There are two other dogs, the little Kibblet from Wales and the cute *-Cookie-* from Germany.

I gave my hostmum the present, she was very happy about  :D

Now I am very tired and we go to bed.

Sleep well, my dear Mummy! Love you!

Kisses to Africa!

Hey, all my friends in Africa!

Here I am again!

What a great first day in Lichtenfels! Hostmum said she needed my help. OKKKKkkkkkk....

She said, she must go shopping and I should go with her. O yes, I like it!
At first I watched the exotic fruits. Then we bought Ladyfingers (Löffelbiskuit) and cacao. I saw a coconut liqueur, but hostmum said, we don´t need it  :(
BUT: the other ingredients are for my Tiramisu!!!!

After that we went sightseeing with Leoshek and _Lilly_. We studied the map of the historic city center. I saw the emblem of the city. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, 2 lights and a stone! This is the sign for Lichten-fels!

We cycled to the next point of interest, the museum. Because of the sunny weather we didn´t go in, but saw another interesting building, the old city gate. There are 3 cannonballs in the wall, to remind of the war in 1553.

So much information! I will dream tonight of buildings... and of Tiramisu  :D

Kisses to Africa!

Hey, my dear Mummy and all that read this log!

I´ve been fullfilling my first live mission!

Hostmum helped me cooking a Tiramisu. At first we put all the ingredients on the table. Then I dipped the ladyfingers in a mixture of coffee and amaretto ( a liqueur of almonds). The ladyfingers must be layed in a mold. Then we had to mix curd, sugar, cream and amaretto. This cream comes on the ladyfingers. I tasted... hhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm yummiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeee :p
Cacao was the last layer on top of the tiramisu. (I napped a ladyfinger  :D)

Then I had to wait. I made a tissue around my neck. And waited :rolleyes: My new friends waited with me. Oooooooooo it looks sooooo fine!

Then hostmum said we waited long enough.

We tasted! ooooooooo how fine a lifemission can taste!

I would like to send you a piece of Tiramisu, dear Mummy!  ;)

Hey, Mummy!

Today I saw an very old german town! We visited Bamberg, a world heritage. It has a nice, historic city center and there is much to see!

Our first stop was at the fountain, the Bambergians call "Gabelmo". It is a fountain with a neptue ontop. Then we had a nice view over the river Regnitz. There is a historic crane and in the background you can see the church of St. Michael. Our last station was the historic town hall. It was built in the middle of the river, crazy  B)
On the left side of the building you can see realistic paintings. When you look first you think it´s real, but is is an illusion!

Wow,so much culture!

Love you, Mummy!

Kiss, your Wolley

Hey, my dear Mummy!

We made a very delicious surprise dinner for our hosts!

After putting alltogether we had a wonderful and yummie meal for hostmum and hostdad!

Enjoy!

Today we were in a toystore and because it is carneval, there are a lot of funny hats to try  :D

The white sparkling stovepipe hat was not exactly that what I was looking for.

But the light blue hat fits perfect! I look like an english gentleman  B)

What a funny day  :D

On our way we took pictures of wonderful spring flowers, calles daffs and hyacinthes.We ordered a stawberry cake and a ice cup with strawberries, too. I tasted both  :D

Hey all folks at home in Africa!

Yesterday we got visitors! At first an african compatriot arrived! The little Billy from South Africa and after that the famous Dr.Kröbner came to us with all his TVs!

So we were unbelievably 16 TVs at home!

I catched Dr.Kröbner in a calm moment and talked to him about my home country. He was very interested and a good listener. I like him very much!

Mummy, I hope you are well! I miss you!

Dear Mummy!
I was very glad to get a mail by you!
Thank you, its a good feeling to know that you think of me!

Now spring starts in Germany! Today we were in our hosts`garden! It is a pretty meadow with a lot of trees.

Hostdad explained that he has a little sequoia farm! We looked at the little trees and wanted to know if they survived the hard and cold winter in Germany. Of course, most of them did! Great!

But they needed water. So I helped to water them with the watering pot.

On our walk through the garden we found pretty little crocusses, typical spring flowers.

So much fresh air made us weary ;) and we took a short nap in the warm sun. The sun reminds me of you, my dear Mummy!

Yours in love, Wolley

Look what hostmum, Billy and Mr. Quakedi brought along from their shopping trip!

A motor scooter in the right size for us TVs!

Everyone was allowed to make a round trip through the kitchen  B)

Hi there, it´s me again!

Today we made a hiking trip to the Staffelberg. We walked the whole way by foot. Ok, our hosts walked by foot, we sat comfortable in the backpack  :)

It was a pretty sunday, we had a good view over the valley. We saw the monastry Banz at the other side. On top of the mountain we had lunch in the restaurant and I tasted two typical franconian  Bratwurst with sauerkraut.

It is crazy, you go on a mountain just to see how pretty the land under you is  :stare:

On our way back we visited the famous pilgrim church Vierzehnheiligen. Is is very pretty and behind the church is a very famous brewery. We tasted some beer. It is typical for the region, it is a dark beer.

Back in Lichtenfels there was an exhibition where you could watch cars and motorbikes. I found that very crazy camouflage motor scooter, and I made this photo exspecially for you  :)

Lots of Love,

Hey Mummy!

I wish you a happy easter!

Today hostmum said we should come altogether to the garden, she saw a bunny with a big basket and sweets inside. Maybe he concealed some coloured eggs for us?

And really, I found a purple chocolate bunny on a tree!!! I climbed up (hard work) and got it!

Altogether we found a whole basket of sweets in the garden, maybe there was really the easter bunny in our garden???

Today was very stormy outside! But nevertheless we were at the lighthouse of Blavand. Hostmum helped me the 170 steps up. Then we stood on top. WOW, such a wind!!!! We just looked once to the right, once to the left and then we went the 170 steps down again  :D

Back on the bottom there was the best weather, blue sky. So curious  B)

Hello, Mummy!

Today I accompanied Wavy Gravy and hostmum to Sonneberg, a little town near to Lichtenfels. It is called "Toy City" because there were many toy factories.

In the hall were many interesting boothes. There was one with a pyramid of bears!

I watched the table with the members of the contest. Wow, very pretty bears! I like the bear who plays several instruments himself most  :D

On another booth we found a little form! This reminds me of good old times, when I lived at the school. I was the teacher and Wavy Gravy one of my pupils. I talked about my interesting life in Africa!

On our way back to the station we passed a statue. It shows a girl who plays with toy blocks... and two toyvoyagers!

Hey Mummy!

Last weekend we made something very special! You know there was neraly no rain in Germany in May. Hostmum was so sad, because nothing grew in her garden.
We decided to help her.

Hmmmmm, what to do???

I had a great idea!

We could make a rain dance!

I explained what we should do.

At first: build a circle

Second: Dance to the left

Third: Dance to the right

Fourth: pot with coal in the middle

Fifth: Fire the coal

Sixth: resin and other stuff on the coal

And: look what happened: It started to rain!

And the rain goes on  :rolleyes: We should try this in Africa, too!

Love you!

Hello, Mummy!

Today we made a trip to Nueremberg. We travelled comfortable in hostmum´s bag  B) In the train we got off and read some interesting science magazine. In the railway station of Nueremberg there is a very pretty mosaic at the wall, a lady with a dog  ;) I like it very much!

Then we started sightseeing: a big cathedral, called Lorenzkirche, a really bif nut cracker in front of a shop for christmas stuff. Then we needed a rest on the bridge across the river Pegnitz.

On our way we saw some boothes, one with african drums! Oh Mummy, believe me, I thought for you exspecially in this moment!  :(

But no time to worry, we went off to the Hauptmarkt. The place where the most famous and oldest christmas market in the world takes place in December.

Hello, Mummy!

We were on holidays! We visited the capitol of Germany, Berlin. It was hostmum´s and of course my first trip to this big town. So we wanted to see the most famous buildings there. Best way to explore the city center of Berlin is to make a boat trip in the river Spree. There we saw the new Chancellery of Germany (it looks like a big washing machine  :) ) and the old building, called Reichtstag, that houses the german parliament. This building was destroyed in world war II and got in the 1990th a new dome made from glass.

Very big and very impressing!

Maybe I will come back one time!

Love you, Mummy!

Hello, Mummy!

On our way back to Lichtenfels we stopped in Lichtenstein to explore the Mini world. There are several sight in scale 1:25. A perfect size to make great photos and a chance to see the whole world in one hour!

At first the castle of Sanssouci near Berlin. It is called the "prussian Versailles" and a world heritage. It was built in the style of Rokkoko in the 18th century. You see us in the garden.


In the next picture there is the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin and in the background the Siegessäule "Victory column". Both are very famous sights in Berlin. The Brandenburg Gate was once the border between west and east. But now these times gone by  :D

Changing the continent! I looked at the Taj Mahal in India. In originally size it is 100m x 100m!

Go east once more! See the great wall in China! Isn´t it crazy, it is unbelievable 21.000 km long!!!  :o

The Sydney Opera House in Australia is one more world heritage. It´s architekture symbolizes sails in the wind. It is a phantastical building!

Last but not least I came back to Africa!

I found a small african village. I called if there is anybody at home, but got no answer  :(

So I call you, Mummy!

I hope you are fine and want to say: I LOVE YOU!!!

Hello mum!

How are you! I hope fine!

Today Fanny had a funny idea. She gave us a lesson in the Franconian dialect.

The weather was fine so we could go outside.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/P1060699.jpg

First we learnd  food-words like eggs (Äer) or potato (Grumbern).
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/P1060702.jpg

http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/P1060703.jpg


Then animals:
Hua, that means chicken or hen.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/P1060707.jpg

Gögger: cock
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/P1060708.jpg

And Fannys favorit word because she is one: Bätzer - sheep.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/P1060710.jpg

Things:
Emer =  a pail
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/P1060712.jpg

Lädder = ladder
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/P1060713.jpg


I was able to wipe the blackboard.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1060714.jpg


Then we learnd some other words like...
Simbl (idiot, jerk)
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/P1060716.jpg

Towd (godfather)
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/P1060717.jpg

Wengert (vineyard)
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/P1060718.jpg

I've taken notes.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1060728.jpg

The lesson had just endet when Lumpi came to visit us. He is the dachshund from the neightbours.

http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/P1060837.jpg


In the evening blew the wind so I let fly my kite. What a fun!
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1060851.jpg

Fannys kite was blown into a tree! She was very sad...
So we helped her to get her kite back!
We're a fantastic team!

Hello!

Today I helped hostmum to cook a new recipe, but it was very simple: Rice with pork.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1060933.jpg

First I cut pickles
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1060943.jpg

then an onion....
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1060949.jpg

.... leek...
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1060942.jpg

and  grate parmesan-cheese.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1060935.jpg

I give pork and the onions in a hot pan....
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1060950.jpg

then add  rice and broth. Cook for 30 min.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1060954.jpg

Then I give the pickles, leek,  parmesan-cheese  and a little sage in the pan.

Then grind the bread-spice.

and vinegar.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1070109_zps9e794057.jpg

http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1070111_zps0fbe1d03.jpg

Mix everything.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1070115_zpsba72517c.jpg

Then knead...
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Cherry%20Lola/P1070123_zpsa08998b9.jpg

We are curious.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Cherry%20Lola/P1070131_zps682f08cd.jpg

Look! The dough has doubled!
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1070134_zpsfb54e7a1.jpg

And then knead again.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1070136_zps108baa13.jpg

Now it looks like a bread. It smells great!
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Cherry%20Lola/P1070141_zps9cbcc4b2.jpg

In the oven for an hour.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1070144_zps714ebeaa.jpg

Done!  It smells gorgeous!

There's an old mill wheel.

Hello mum!

I've harvested pumpkins few weeks ago. Do you remember?

Today we cooked with one of them!

I made pumpkin-lasagne!

First I wash the pumpkin.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1070876.jpg


I cut the pumpkin.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1070880.jpg

A pumpkin is very hard so we helped cut together.

http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1070885.jpg

http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1070889.jpg

Then I steam the pumpkin.
After 25 minutes the pumkin is done.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1070893.jpg

I cut onions.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1070897.jpg

Then I mix the onions with soure cream and cheese spread.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1070901.jpg

I give the half in a beaker and  add  vegetable stock, thyme and a little bit of olive oil. 
I puree all.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1070915.jpg

Hello mom!

Today I was in the theater.

This is the theater in Schweinfurt.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1080443_zps209e3645.jpg

We saw "The King's Speech".

http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1080449_zpsa5a2d57e.jpg

The theater is not big and I have a good view of the stage.
http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff457/Kalea3307/Wolley/P1080455_zps3748745b.jpg

The theater took a long time... 2h 30 min.!

After the theater we go to an Indian restaurant and eat very delicious things.

Hello mum,
I reached Switzerland on a very cold day. 7 degrees below zero, brrr.
A little shy, I looked in my new home.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1251672_zps125ef72c.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1251673_zps68a14277.jpg

From above I could hear voices and laughter. I climbed a small cabinet

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1251674_zps8ca45058.jpg

and saw many funny TV's sitting in a comfortable basket.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1251675_zps16f6be1b.jpg

They greeted me kindly and called for host mum. She took me into the kitchen, and because I was so hungry I got a big sausage,

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1251676_zps074b98c2.jpg

a very big sausage.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1251677_zpsa0952eb1.jpg

After I had eaten the sausage, I was very tired. I had no long journey but because I wanted miss anything, I did not sleep very much. It was too exciting. So I curled up on a cozy blanket and slept until evening.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1251679_zps26b9fe31.jpg

For dinner we had a hot soup that had boiled the TV's.

Yoohoo mum,
Today I helped Jasper to bake cakes. Carrot cake. I have carefully read the recipe to not make wrong anything.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1271712_zps0d7f3ce1.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1271713_zps86e6228e.jpg

First I grated carrots.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1271715_zpsbb6a3c14.jpg

Then I beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1271718_zps9c1232ce.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1271719_zps479f2aa4.jpg

I added the carrots and nuts.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1271720_zps1cf9a9b0.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1271722_zpsd2127553.jpg

I added beaten egg whites

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1271723_zps878c61aa.jpg

and flour and baking powder and mix gently.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1271724_zps3c677d39.jpg

I could lick the blenders.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1271721_zps313eb019.jpg

I filled the dough in cake tins and baked for 50 minutes.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1271725_zps9ba2e7fd.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1271726_zps31307ef3.jpg

Later, I decorated the cakes with powdered sugar icing and marzipan carrots.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1271727_zps10edef8c.jpg

They look so delicious.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P1271728_zps61acfb59.jpg

One of the cake is a gift and the other I enjoy. OK, I'll share.
That's it for today, love you mum.

the weather is going crazy. On Wednesday the sun was shining (as host mum had to work) and it was 14 degrees. Then we had bucketfuls of rain and storm. This morning it started to snow again.

Within ten minutes everything was white.

No chance to go outside. And then the bad luck, host mum has a torn ligament in the foot. Dolivia, she is a pharmacy TV gives us instructions on how we have to maintain host mum.

Hello mum,
Last night we had a small farewell party with great pizza.

Once again we had to say goodbye to grown fond friends.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P2041743_zpsc41fafa7.jpg

Lancel travels to China and Nils visits the U.S.. The weather here makes them a little easier to say goodbye. It's horrible, storm, rain and snow. Everything except sun. We gave both a group hug

Hi mum,
Last night we bet that we are going to have Wednesday's weather. We won. Wednesday's weather means good weather in the morning when host mum works and rain, snow, storm or doomsday when she comes home. Every Wednesday, the same game. But today, something was different. Host mum brought an envelope. We are all long enough TV's to know what that means. A new guest has arrived. Host mum opened the envelope. Curious, we stuck our noses into it.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P2061749_zps4442c5d1.jpg

A small, green turtle looked towards us a little bit shy.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P2061751_zps8bdac461.jpg

Cosily the turtle climbed out and introduced himself.

Shakespeare is his name and he brought gummy bears as greeting gift.

Hello to all the loved ones at home,
Finally, after many days of bad weather, the sun is shining today. Host mum immediately grabbed us and we went on a winter walk. First we drove a short distance by car.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P2101768_zpsb8600262.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P2101773_zps15fd82f0.jpg

But then we enjoyed the sun, the fresh air and the beautiful view.

We trudged through the snow (80 cm. High) over small bridges,

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P2101805_zpsb3c1cfa1.jpg

We rested on the bench,

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P2101827_zpsc552948e.jpg

which could be seen in the deep snow barely.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P2101828_zps32034114.jpg

I wished we could have done together.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P2101826_zps1c9f464a.jpg

Enjoy the pictures as I have enjoyed the walk.
I think of you.

P.S. I met today real hens. I think one of my Life missons is fulfilled, or?

Yesterday we celebrated Lola's birthday.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P2141853_zps284c68d9.jpg

We sang happy birthday and wish her ​​all the best.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P2141858_zps51052ecf.jpg

Then there was chocolate and sweets.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P2141861_zpse3afe48f.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P2141863_zps15741a3e.jpg

Today was beautiful weather. Sun much as you wanted. The best thing was, host mum did not have to work and we could take a winter walk. We walked up and down through the glistening snow.

The sky was blue, the sun was shining, what more could you want?

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P2141950_zps4bce2c3a.jpg

An adventure! On our way we saw the sign to the waterfall. The road, really just a path is a little dangerous. Narrow, steep and icy in the winter. We begged so much until host mum gave her ok. First she checked the phone connection. (In case we need the fire brigade or the helicopter to get us out.) Then it went off.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P2141948_zps669fdede.jpg

From time to time our heart beat a little faster.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P2141949_zps58a5c4a0.jpg

And then we saw the waterfall is an icefall now.

Dear Mommy,
Today, a new envelope has arrived. When Jasper opened it, a tiger jumped out with a loud roar. The two little ones (Lille and Stripes) hid behind me fearfully and I had to growl.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P2212035_zpsbdf894e7.jpg

The tiger told us he roared for joy after a long, long journey finally be out of this envelope.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P2212042_zpsf0087ae8.jpg

We welcomed him kindly and then looked at his presents.

Hi mommy,
what a boring week. Jasper had to work full time, the weather was bad (two weeks with no sun, no more snow, but fog and rain) and host dad was sick. But yesterday we had a lot of fun. We celebrated Lille's birthday.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P3032049_zpsba63c082.jpg

She got a huge cake, a big lollipop and a little sheep. All kissed and hugged her and wished her all the best.

Then she blew out the candle and cut the cake.

A dear Hello back home,
after felt like eternity we could go outside today. Jasper packed us into her big bag and we drove to St. Gallen, the capital of the canton. St.Gallen is not really big (74000 inhabitants) but is known for its embroidery. The university is one of the leading business schools in Europe and the Convent of the monastery is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The first thing we saw was the red square.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P3092067_zps6d1d5fac.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P3092072_zps988e06d3.jpg

Yes, not only Moscow has a red square, and this place is really red,

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P3092074_zpsbc79598b.jpg

Oh, oh, we forgot the turtle. Again pose with turtle.

it is a gift from a reputable bank to the city. On our way to the old town we saw the synagogue of the Jewish community.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P3092084_zpsc6f94e18.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P3092162_zps8abe4feb.jpg

But on closer inspection we found things that make hope for spring.

The weather was beautiful but the wind is still cold

and the snow is still near.

We saw a really old apple tree with mistletoe.

Huge, felled trees

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P3222284_zpsdddc7ca7.jpg

and snowdrops.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P3222293_zps21394030.jpg

I met a dog,

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P3222294_zps9e9fbca7.jpg

he was not really friendly.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P3222295_zpsa9bd1185.jpg

We saw bees that were battling for first flowers.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P3222299_zpsfa746b4e.jpg

(You can not see so well but look right in front of my nose.) And then we took a sunbath.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P3222301_zps4481b031.jpg

It felt so good.
In the hope of more sun I send you greetings

Hello mum,
we are all pretty frustrated. After last week, it looked a bit like spring, winter reigns again. Jasper will be crazy, slowly but surely. Yesterday we tried to bring some spring mood in the house.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P3262311_zpsca176f9b.jpg

Jasper bought everything that looked like Easter and warm weather, and we built and decorated it into a indoor garden.

I think we succeeded.

Hi mum,
I have a job. The next seven days I am in charge of nine chickens. A neighbor of Jasper (the chickens belong to him) is on vacation. Normally Jasper takes care to the chicken then. But this time I will do it. In order to be quickly friends with the chicken, Jasper told me a secret. They love pasta. So I cooked pasta.

Happy Easter mum!
although it looks more like Christmas.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P3312423_zps3cee100e.jpg

Due to bad weather (snow again) we must search the Easter Bunny in the apartment. We searched long and found plenty. Everywhere chocolate bunnies, eggs and other sweets were hidden.

Hello mum,
we can take pictures again. Right after Easter, the cat had thrown the camera from the table. She was broken. Not that you had missed something. The weather was as usual - bad. Jasper had bought us a small bench

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4102482_zpsfcf10b49.jpg

so that we can enjoy the sun on the balcony. What sun? We now sit in the dining room under the Easter tree.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4102480_zpsd6a35e14.jpg

He gets small leaves. Feels like spring.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4102481_zps03b8c03f.jpg

Today we say goodbye to Lille. She will travel to Germany. We cuddled the little sheep and wished her a good trip - and better weather.

Hello,
Today a new TV arrived. Jasper brought a heavy package and we were very excited to see what or who is in it.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4122502_zpsbe34d5e9.jpg

The first thing was a postcard,

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4122503_zps955604c1.jpg

then came sweets

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4122504_zps9310d675.jpg

and then a bunch of money.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4122505_zps67652dde.jpg

The last climbed out a small panda bear.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4122506_zps1c9be828.jpg

We greeted her warmly and introduced ourselves.

Hi Mummy,
Yesterday the weather was wonderful. Therefore Jasper decided we take a trip. After a short drive we arrived at the Walter Zoo in Gossau. It's not a big zoo but you can feed many animals and be close with them. The first thing I met Lama.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4142545_zps5e53fee5.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4142547_zps372b6be9.jpg

Host dad and I have fed.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4142546_zps2e9361d7.jpg

They do not spit on me. Then I saw a zebra,

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4142561_zps9b333121.jpg

I loved this nose.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4142560_zps5f295a3e.jpg

I met an ostrich,

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4142562_zps99b5dd0d.jpg

he cuddled with me.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4142563_zps4cb70405.jpg

I saw small monkeys

and an alligator.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4142574_zpsa4e2a1ea.jpg

A tiger was very close.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4142594_zpse5154795.jpg

Then we came to the camels.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4142596_zps061b622c.jpg

We fed them

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4142597_zps94115b7e.jpg

and I told Esther

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4142598_zpsb71acd27.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4142600_zps5d825849.jpg

(which is the name of the camel lady) my heart's desire. A few minutes later, I was the happiest dog in the world. I was allowed to ride on Esther.

Two days ago I was sitting on the balcony in the sun.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4172611_zps551a25bc.jpg

We had 23 degrees and enjoyed the spring to the fullest.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4172619_zps39d2f804.jpg

When I woke up this morning and looked out the window, everything was white,

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4202627_zps7ab8322e.jpg

I could not believe it. Overnight it had snowed again, 10 cm.

Hello mum,
We are back from wonderful short holiday. With Jasper and her daughter we explored the "Route de Vin" (wine route) in Alsace. A paradise for wine lovers, gourmet and storks. We started with best weather

and looked gorgeous little wine villages. In Ribeauvillé we made the first break and tried Riesling d'alsace.

Excellent. We saw a stork's nest on an old tower

and many storks in the gift shop.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4242660_zpsbee16ad3.jpg

On a tour of the city we discovered many beautiful old houses,

And vineyards, where you look.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4242671_zps2af763d7.jpg

Then we drove to our hotel in Rosheim. This small wine village near Strasbourg has four gates.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4242675_zps8e9ca929.jpg

One of them is called Zittglöckle (time bell) because it has a clock.

Hi, all at home,
the second day of our holiday we spent in Strasburg. All were pretty tired when Jasper woke us up,

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4252690_zps13720d60.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4252689_zpsfba5cc30.jpg

but the nice weather lured us outside. Arrived in Strasburg we walked to the cathedral along the Ill River.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4252694_zpse6b65918.jpg

We marveled at an old carousel.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4252695_zpsc743ad11.jpg

Then we saw the cathedral.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4252699_zpsf3912424.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4252703_zps309fc70b.jpg

It is really impressive.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4252704_zpse1812361.jpg

Strasbourg Cathedral or the Cathedral of Our Lady of Strasbourg (French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Strasbourg, German: Notre Dame Cathedral in Strasbourg), also known as Strasbourg Minster, is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Strasbourg, Alsace, France.
At 142 meters (466 feet), it was the world's tallest building from 1647 to 1874, When it was surpassed by St. Nikolai's Church, Hamburg. Today it is the sixth-tallest church in the world and the highest still-standing structure Entirely built in the Middle Ages.
The cathedral is visible far across the plains of Alsace and can be seen from as far off as the Vosges Mountains or the Black Forest on the other side of the Rhine. Sandstone from the Vosges used in construction gives the cathedral its characteristic pink hue.

The Place de la Republique, it was not far. Colorful spring flowers

and the War Memorial were there to see.

The Palais du Rhin is also there.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4252713_zps9f263a1b.jpg

Then we saw the Church of Saint Paul.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4252717_zpsd249b957.jpg

We walked on the Ill river to the Pont Couvert (covered bridge)

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4252728_zpscc2691b7.jpg

and also saw there this towers.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4252727_zpsbbd69afe.jpg

One of them is called hangman tower. We could imagine what happened there before.
On our way home we saw this funny house.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4252729_zpsaa1e3588.jpg

It is called "the worm hole"
Arrived at the hotel we were very exhausted.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4252733_zps8b6c73be.jpg

We slept a little but not too long because it was a full moon and we absolutely had to see.

Hi mum,
after we had admired the full moon enough, we enjoyed another bottle of wine

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4252738_zps5950be08.jpg

and then fell into a deep sleep. The next day was like our heads - cloudy. On the way to our next destination we stopped often and let the wind blow us around the nose.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4262745_zps633f6def.jpg

And again, as far as one could see vineyards.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4262746_zps0256b2df.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4262747_zpsda36bbca.jpg

Then we reached Haut-Königsbourg, a 900-year old fortress.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4262782_zps669b5824.jpg

A truly impressive building. After a break and delicious food,

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P4262783_zpsb330018c.jpg

we drove to our hotel to Riquewihr.

Unfortunately it started to rain heavily. Jasper had to decide - Camera or umbrella. She opted for the umbrella. So we spent the rest of the day and the journey home into Jasper's bag.

Hello mum,
Last weekend Jasper promised a special trip for Thursday, when the weather is good - really good. So we kept our fingers crossed for the whole week, but the weather forecast was not promising. Host dad decided: We try.
Thursday: Get up 5 clock in the morning, departure 1 hour later. Much too early for TV's. Therefore, we slept on during the car ride.
As Jasper woke us the next time we were in Interlaken train station. The ticket showed us: We travel to the Jungfraujoch.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P5092806_zps36843e63.jpg

To the highest train station in Europe. The first train took us to Grindelwald at the foot of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, the well-known mountains in the Bernese Oberland.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P5092811_zps7494e5b0.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P5092812_zps08664091.jpg

There, we changed the train to Kleine Scheidegg, the starting point for the trekkers climbing the Eiger North Face.
Here you see this notorious mountain wall, which has so many climbers cost their lives.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P5092822_zps9c4e19ad.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P5092820_zps30209273.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P5092819_zps17adb199.jpg

Next, we boarded the red train to the Jungfraujoch.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P5092821_zps2e704397.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P5092828_zps2b66c27b.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P5092829_zps5c3a14fc.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P5092831_zps8a08cd26.jpg

This train is required in addition to the normal rails a gear to overcome the steep climbs.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P5092835_zpsecb1bc51.jpg

As the train travels most of the time in tunnels, there are several breakpoints on the line with windows. From there you can admire famous places.
Our first stop, and also the last outside of the tunnel, was Eigergletscher.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/P5092841_zpsc2f3789f.jpg

From the once mighty glacier is not much left.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092847_zpsb0705875.jpg

The next stop was Eigerwand.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092861_zpsafc207b6.jpg

The view from the middle of the Eiger North Wall was breathtaking.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092849_zps65d7aa93.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092856_zps2d46a606.jpg

The last stop is called Eismeer. Here you can see the glacier crashes between Eiger and Mönch.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092866_zpsc5dcb7cf.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092867_zps1a644293.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092873_zps061fe04a.jpg

Then we reached the highest station in Europe. 3454 meters above sea level. It was too dark to make pictures. We took the elevator to the Sphinx. 117 meters in 26 seconds.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092885_zpsfc0eda6d.jpg

The Sphinx is a research station and an observatory. In 1996, the observation deck was opened. On clear days one has a fantastic view.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092878_zps598e39b2.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092881_zps0ff25afe.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092894_zpsfb477c64.jpg

This mountain is called  Mönch and is 4107 meters (13475ft.) high.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092893_zpsc37b6fb0.jpg

This is the Sphinx.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092901_zpsde47040d.jpg

It was very stormy, you can see fly my ears.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092910_zps0c151594.jpg

Through this wind changed fog, clouds and a clear view in seconds - unbelievable. Then we took a walk on the Aletsch Glacier.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092915_zps8b30eed2.jpg

This glacier is the largest of the Alps in terms of area and almost 23 kilometers long. The ice flows at a speed of 180 meters per year towards the Rhone. On Konkordiaplatz the ice thickness is about 900 meters. We were not allowed to leave the path of the glacier under any circumstances. Right and left there are deep crevasses - life threatening. But the outlook was fantastic. This is the Jungfraujoch.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092921_zps1a755698.jpg

If you look closely, you see at the top  the Sphinx - quite small they stuck to the rock.
This is a big glacier demolition.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092926_zps06cdbbf8.jpg

Then we marveled at various exhibitions

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092932_zps0b1ca84c.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092944_zps44a25167.jpg

and the Ice Palace.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092966_zps628af070.jpg

Can you imagine that they need to cool down these halls, which consist only of ice at minus 3 degrees? Because of the body heat of the many tourists.
Then it was time for the return journey. Everyone was tired and fell asleep on the train - we also.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092968_zps0dad874a.jpg

In Kleine Scheidegg we changed train,

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092971_zpsca6a5aef.jpg

took one last look at the Eiger and Jungfraujochbahn

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092973_zpsc686a3b7.jpg

and went on to Wengen. This place is famous because of the Lauberhorn downhill skiing. We were looking for the famous ski run - but without snow?

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092989_zpsdda21b85.jpg

We have not found. The rest of the way we slept in Jasper's bag.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5092993_zps7df09ef3.jpg

We were all very tired - but what an adventure.

Hello mum,
when I woke up this morning, I saw a small hippo sitting on our little bench and have breakfast.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5163008_zpsecc1bd3b.jpg

Jasper introduced us. Ismaya is the name of the hippo and he comes from Bali, Indonesia. It rattles with the teeth because it is so cold here. This morning it was 7 degrees.
Then Ismaya showed us his gifts.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5163011_zpscf9c8783.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5163012_zpsac9b105e.jpg

Wonderful things from his home country. We hugged him and greeted him warmly.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5163013_zps97bb1deb.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P5163014_zps9001adb1.jpg

Later we told a lot of our adventures and Ismaya marveled. He is on his first trip.
We will have lots of fun with him when he stops teeth from chattering.
See you soon

Hi mom,
Yesterday we had to say goodbye to Salmonella. She travels home. In parting, we celebrated a tea party with cucumber sandwiches and scones and cream and strawberry jam, and of course tea.

Today we took a small break in the rain and walked 10 minutes to the outside. We found  large tree mushrooms.

Hi mom,
The last few days were exciting and boring at the same time. We had heavy rains, floods and landslides and we could not go outside. As the weather improved, Jasper's dad had to go to the hospital. Again, no time for walks or excursions.
But today the weather is wonderful and grumpy grandpa is healthy again.
Early in the morning we started for a walk to the river Thur. It was lovely. Everything was very quiet, most people were still asleep. You could hear the birds chirping and rushing the river and the air smelled of hay.
We went over a small bridge. The river looks so romantic.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P6083135_zpse734bf72.jpg

We sat in the moss

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P6083140_zps6c70cebb.jpg

and ran through between rocks.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P6083141_zps7514e5ba.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P6083157_zpsf0ada8f2.jpg

A narrow footpath led us to the waterfall.

and saw remnants of the flooding.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P6083193_zps1fd721db.jpg

On the grass in the trees you can see how high the water was.

Hello home
Today I was a pilgrim on the Camino de Santiago. Honestly it was a coincidence. We wanted to visit the ruins Iberg.

On our way we saw this sign.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P6153290_zps4286921c.jpg

It means: the castle Iberg was built around 1200. By 1300 it was mentioned as a monument to the pilgrimage route. Since about 1800, it is a ruin.

We felt very special.
From the castle we had a great view over the Thur Valley.

Hello mum,
Today a new TV arrived.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P6193475_zpsd9198c11.jpg

I think it's a little leopard but I'm not sure.
I'll ask her about it. She is a little shy but very nice.
And that we are, Jasper's gang.

Hello mum,
yesterday, when Jasper was at work, the bell rang at the door. Although it is not allowed to open the door in Jasper's absence, we could not resist. Hase opened the door a little bit and discovered a envelope with interesting stamps.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P6263508_zps0106bc15.jpg

A packet from Trinidad and Tobago, wow. Together we brought the envelope into the dining room

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P6263511_zps02fc1938.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P6263512_zpsce9dc72e.jpg

and considered what we should do.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P6263513_zpsa019852e.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P6263514_zps49100c31.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P6263516_zpsf658db12.jpg

We opened it.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P6263517_zps1ca50ae4.jpg

The result was a small giraffe, wrapped in pink paper.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P6263520_zps871c1712.jpg

We introduced ourselves

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P6263521_zps3fe7045d.jpg

and gave GiGi (so the giraffe is called) a warm welcome.

She is so cute, I like her.

Hi mum,

Today we celebrated Shakespeare's birthday. Its 89th Birthday. Can you imagine that?
At Wikipedia we read, the turtles have lived on the earth before the dinosaurs evolved.
Shakespeare has held up well.
We congratulated him and sang a song.

He got a cake and a fishing rod.

While we waited for the cake,

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7023539_zpsb67ac90e.jpg

he practiced fishing.

Hi mom,
Today we said goodbye to Hase. She travels home to visit her mom.
Therefore, we had a big party yesterday.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7033556_zpsc17075d8.jpg

Sweets as much as we wanted.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7033559_zps772bafe6.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7033560_zps4f63fe13.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7033561_zps6afec60c.jpg

We could bathe in it and had so much fun.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7033591_zps427bf884.jpg

There was a lot of laughter and stories and adventures were told.

But today we had heavy heart. As Hase grabbed her things a few tears flowed.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7033592_zps0f2259cd.jpg

We all wished her a safe journey.

Hi mom,
Today we made a trip to Konstanz.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7133733_zpsbda76cbe.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7133734_zps9432f4d0.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7133735_zps56568a70.jpg

Konstanz, English: Constance) is a university city with approximately 80,000 inhabitants
Konstanz is situated on Lake Constance (the Bodensee in German).

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7133750_zps81bc8b09.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7133765_zpsc63e1a07.jpg

The Rhine river, which starts in the Swiss Alps, passes through Lake Constance and leaves it, considerably larger, by flowing under a bridge connecting the two parts of the city. North of the river lies the larger part of the city with residential areas, industrial estates, and the University of Konstanz; while south of the river is the old town which houses the administrative centre and shopping facilities in addition to the Hochschule or the University of Applied Sciences. Car ferries provide access across Lake Constance to Meersburg, and the Katamaran provides a shuttle service for pedestrians to Friedrichshafen. To the south, the old town borders onto the Swiss town of Kreuzlingen.

This is the Munster.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7133749_zpsec04f61c.jpg

We saw beautiful old houses.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7133767_zps9962b936.jpg

The casino

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7133780_zpsb2924b40.jpg

- we wanted to play roulette or blackjack, but Jasper said no.

So we admired the view,

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7133782_zps5ead1650.jpg

and talked with a swan.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7133807_zps86551807.jpg

Behind us you can see the Steigenberger, a luxury hotel.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7133809_zps5b080d6f.jpg

The courtyard of the town hall.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7133853_zpse84a81ba.jpg

An art object

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7133854_zps33585f47.jpg

- the inscription on the red table means: unbounded thinking
Exactly what make TV's.

Still a lovely old house called Graf Zeppelin.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7133873_zps5af34c75.jpg

Here we are at the harbor.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7133834_zpsf5b04483.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7133835_zps0e832c78.jpg

At the harbor entrance stands the Imperia.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7133833_zpsd16659d8.jpg

The Imperia is a statue at the entrance of the harbour of Konstanz, Germany, commemorating the Council of Constance that took place there between 1414 and 1418. The concrete statue is 9 metres high, weighs 18 tonnes, and stands on a pedestal that rotates around its axis once every four minutes.
The Imperia shows a woman holding two men on her hands. The two men represent Pope Martin V and Emperor Sigismund. Martin V was elected during the Council while Sigismund was the king who called the council. Both are naked except for the crown and papal tiara, respectively, that they wear as symbols of their power.

Jasper suddenly saw a Zeppelin on the way home. Unfortunately, we were crossing a bridge and could not stop. And unfortunately he is not very good to see.

Hi mum
Today we were on the river Thur. We wanted to swim and fish. Jasper had much to bear: some beach towels, sun deck, fishing rod, hammock and a parasol and of course us.
Once at the river we looked for a suitable place. We found a small sand bar that had washed up the flood and made ourselves comfortable.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7213971_zps0d05aaed.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7213975_zpsfbae9e76.jpg

Shakespeare threw his fishing rod but nothing wanted to bite. But the mosquitoes bite, and that us.
We tried to make a fire but everything was still damp from the storm last night.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7213961_zps758f5a70.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7213962_zps43109d9b.jpg

It took some effort but we managed it.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7213968_zps60f8751f.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7213969_zps3cd9db2a.jpg

I almost burned my nose.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7213967_zps236e6cd0.jpg

On the way home I said goodbye to beloved things. From the river Thur,

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7213978_zpseb8b47e2.jpg

the green meadows,

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7213976_zpsfd64fa49.jpg

the little neighborhood that was long my home

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7213977_zps5fdc2444.jpg

and my friends the chickens.

Hi mom,
Today is Sunday and we enjoy the day and the sun on the balcony. Too many people and mosquitoes at the Thur. Tomorrow I will continue to travel, I'm going to see you. First I took a bath in lavender.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7213982_zpsbf475711.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7213983_zpsc27b94e1.jpg

I want to smell good when we meet again.
Then I tried our little swing. It was not easy for me

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7213984_zpse7bcd8c5.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7213985_zps2cb9b0f5.jpg

but with a little help it worked.
We lounged around all day.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7213989_zps62fefe6b.jpg

We drank a lot of water but not only.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7213990_zpsbe032126.jpg

For dinner we had something special: prawns and focaccia.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7213992_zps0638d50c.jpg

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7213993_zpsbd2e6bac.jpg

We celebrated my farewell.

http://i1324.photobucket.com/albums/u614/Hemming60/TV1/P7213994_zps98dd5d27.jpg

I'll travel to the French part of Switzerland and meet you there.  We laughed and talked until late into the night.
What the others do not know, I'll sneak it in the morning. I hate goodbyes and tears but that's ToyVoyager fate.
Goodbye my friends, I will miss you.
See you mum, I'm so happy.
Wolley
