Hello everybody,
this is me ! I am called Sanny, because of a friend of BlackCat who is a big Pikachu fan. Maybe one day I will go to her and show her all the photos you made with me from my travels.
This will be fun!
Love,
Sanny

Münster, Germany - 18th June 2011
By: Mondfalke
Hello!
Today I went with my mum to the Postcrossing-Meeting in Münster and there I met my new host Jenny. She was also attending the meeting and is originally from Hamburg. I am really curious to see Hamburg but I am sure that will come later!
First we had a walk around the town, here in the distance you can see the Dom, a big church in Münster. Jenny had another TV with her, it was Lilo_Panda.
The nice building at the end of the street was the town hall.
To get to the church we had to cross the weekly market.
This really beautiful watch we found while visiting the church, we couldn't stay in there for long and walk around because it was the time for the service.
After the church we walked along the town hall, some other nice houses nearby and another church.
This is a plan of Münster, you can see the two churches we have seen today?
We then started to get to the restaurant to eat something and on our way we met this little church.
And now normal doings at Postcrossing-Meetings, eating something, writing cards, signing cards, chatting and thinking about bath tubs in different styles and colours.
This time there was a little chocolate lottery, too. Everybody brought a wrapped piece of his or her favorite chocolate and then you have to draw a piece. This was the chocolate Jenny brought to the meeting.
And here are all the wrapped chocolates.
After the meeting we started on our way home. We had to take many different trains and had to chage for example at Osnabrück.
Here you can see our travel plan from Osnabrück to Hamburg.
But we had some fun in the train and arrived home late but happy!
Bye,
Sanny

Hello!
Oh, it's been a long time since I last wrote something in here but my host had a really busy time and we couldn't be on the road to take photos. But today I am really excited, she said that we are going to a medieval market at a really beautiful place. But first we had to take the train from Hamburg to Lübeck.
And then from Lübeck to Neustadt (Holstein). We had to take Jenny's bike with us because from the train station in Neustadt it was about 5 km to the market.
On these markets they have special money, Jenny had some coins left from an earlier market and showed them to me.
Here you can see some of the signs on the street we had to go by bike.
And then we arrived at the market, I didn't know where to watch first. This was the estate in the centre of the market, looked a bit like some small castle. They even had a small river around it.
Here you could buy some really delicous mead and some other nice drinks.
They had two stages on the market, this was the bigger one and the ceremony to open the market officially should take place here in a few minutes.
Oh, did you see the blue sky? It seems as if some dark clouds are coming...
Ah, here the leader of the market is coming and with him many people in medieval clothes.
There was some little frog hopping over the gras and the monk called "Bruder Rectus" was trying to catch him.
And even the Death was there. Should I be afraid?
The people from the market are living in there tents. They try to live as close to the real medieval ages as possible.
This was the place for the knights to do their battles but now there wasn't anybody. But more dark clouds were coming...
We walked over the market to the other stage where these two guys called "Das Niveau" were performing. It was really funny!
Ah, here we found some people fighting but without horses. I hope nobody got hurt!
And here is "Das Niveau" again!
After this really heavy rain started to fall... We stayed at the market and some saw more shows and ate some really delicous things but we couldn't take pictures so that the camera wouldn't get wet...
Bye,
Sanny

Berlin, Germany - 3rd December 2011
By: Mondfalke
Hello!
Today we are on a trip to Berlin. We will have a walk through the city today and go back home tomorrow!
We arrived at the main station and then started a walk to the Reichstag building. To get there we needed to cross the river Spree.
From there we could already see the Bundeskanzleramt. It is the place where the chancellor of Germany, at the moment Angela Merkel, and her helpers are working.
And here the view back to the main station of Berlin.
Ah, and here the Bundeskanzleramt again, this time from the front.
Then we finally arrived at the Reichstag, it is where the German government is meeting.
From the Reichstag it isn't far to the Brandenburger Tor, a very famous building in Berlin. It is also on some German coins.
At the Brandenburger Tor ends the famous street "Unter den Linden".
In front of the Brandenburger Tor we found this christmas tree. I think it is not very beautiful and they could have found a better one for such an well visited place!
Some more impressions from Berlin.
In the distance you see the TV tower of Berlin.
This is the most famous church in Berlin, called "Berliner Dom". We thought about going in but it was really expensive and so we couldn't afford it.
We continued our walk to the Alexanderplatz, there was a christmas market.
We could have a look from above out of a shop.
Right near the Alexanderplatz is the TV-tower.
On our way back we met this man and he was so kind to take a picture with me.
We walked back along the street "Unter den Linden". The Russian Embassy is located there.
We then walked to the hostel. Jenny wanted to go to a concert in the evening but she told me, it is too dangerous for little Pikachus and so I needed to stay in the hostel. But it was okay for me, it was a long and very wet day and I was happy with a warm and cosy bed!
The hostel was located in an old monastery and we took some photos in the morning when we left it.
On the way to the underground we found this ruins.
Right next to the station was the Tempodrom, a place where events can take place and with some history as it had to change its location several times in its existance.
So ended our visit in Berlin. Jenny told me that there is much more to be seen, perhaps I can go again one day!
Bye,
Sanny

Today we did a little bit of gardening because the day was sunny enough and it was a good time to sow some seeds and plants that are fine to be planted in February. So it was those little onions that we bought some time ago, some marigolds and a very good looking violet rose. At least it looked good in the picture on the box. So hopefully in summer we'll se some pretty flowers!
Gardening is very interesting thing to do. But as I have learnt you need a loooot of patience before you see the results of your work. I hope we did a good work today!
