Travelog for: Lintilla

We got up at three in the morning to watch part of the Royal wedding!

It's time for me to move on to my next host!  See you in Germany!

Hello Mum,


Two days ago  I arrived in Germany. I was so happy to jump out of my envelope!

A friendly bunny gave me a warm welcome. He is called Dicker Kumpel and he is my host here.



He introduced me to the other guests here. 



I just arrived in time for my first short trip. We went to the Landesgartenschau in Norderstedt. They show a lot of plants there. Here you can see me with a  rhododendron.



There were many rhododendrons in different colors.



We made a stop and heard a choir singing.



Do you like these wonderful flowers?



I laughed about this funny person – maybe it is a  straw man.



We went to a playground and found lovely sheep – it seems that we are very famous here!



Here you can see all of us TVs – can you find me?



Later we went to a farm – or something like this – there were many chicken.






There were many wonderful flowers.



Some were inside a building – I would love to send them to you, Mum!





Bye for now
Yours

Hi Mum,

It was time to party today.  Dicker Kumpel’s best friend – Murph - came too. He is a blue alien – and came with his guest Ulrich. We talked a lot and had fun.



Later RikeH came and told us that it was time to have coffee and delicious cake. We went to the table – or maybe on the table.



Of course we had beautiful flowers for our host for this afternoon.



Then I had a delicious piece of cake. It was so yummy!



Guess what – it was time for presents then. Murph and Ulrich brought some for us.





We looked what was in the baskets.



There were really delicious sweets.



Then Murph and Ulrich got presents, too.



Look what they got.



We had a party all day long!

Hi Mum,

we made a nice trip this week-end. And the best thing was that we took the plane!

Here you see me waiting for the plane. This was the one we took.



Look Mum, we were high in the air - and I saw the ground and some clouds.



Later we had more clouds.



We arrived in Krakow in Poland. We walked in the old city and saw this nice gate.



I played in the miniature.



This is a Part of the old City Wall.



We will see more in the next days.

Hi Mum,

We visited the Wawel Royal Castle today. It is situated on a hill next to the Vistuala River.

On the way to the Castle we passed this wonderful church.



You see a part of the Castle behind me.



We had a nice view over the River.



And when I turned I had this tower behind me.



Religion is important in Poland - and I saw the momument for the pope John Paul II.



There was a big cathedral on the hill.



When we walked down to the river, we saw this big dragon. He was really scary!



Tomorrow we will make a boat trip, this will be fun, I hope.

Love
Lintilla

Hello Mum,

on Sunday we made our promised trip on a boat. It was so great.
Can you remember the Castle we saw yesterday? We will see it again.

But first you see me on the boat. I had a great place! And I completed
one of my life missions! 



There was a big abbey next to the river.



Then we saw the Castle from the water - it was so nice and big!



It was a nice boat trip!

In the evening we made a walk on the Main Marketplace.





It looked great in the night!

Bye yours
Lintilla

Hi Mum,

today was our last day in Krakow. Yesterday we went over the Main Marketplace - but in the night.

Now we saw it during the day!





There are wonderful gardens around the city centre. I loved this bridge.



And this fountain was so nice!



On a big place we found this monument.



It was a nice time in Krakow!

Bye

Hello Mum,

I had the chance to travel to Canada - of course I jumped into the plane with the others.

Yesterday we arrived in Canada. It was a long flight, but now we are here!

Today we made a trip to a point called Cape St. Francis.  On the way we stopped at this lovely beach.



Then we reached the Cape - and had a wonderful view.



I enjoyed standing on the Cliff looking at the Cape.



We were allowed to sit in the front of the car - it was great!





Then we drove back to St. John's and went onto the Signal Hill. We saw a nice lake.



And there was the town.



This was the Building - where Mr. Marconi started the first wireless connection between Canada and England a long time ago.



Here you see me on our lovely car. And the street, where we live at the moment. The houses are very colorful.



Many greetings
Lintilla

Hello Mum,

We went to visit a lot of nesting birds today. But first we stopped at a little harbour with beautiful boats in different colors.



This net is used by the fishermen. I wanted to try it out, but I am too small.



I had a nice snack next to it.



Some minutes later a met a relative - we talked together - but then we had to
drive to the birds.



We arrived at Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve. It is  is one of Newfoundland's major seabird colonies. During the breeding season, it is home to 24,000 Northern gannet, 20,000 black-legged kittiwake, 20,000 common murre, and 2,000 thick-billed murre.

Well - we wanted to go there and count them all. It was a nice walk along the coast.



We came nearer to the biggest rock. Most of the Northern gannets, for example, make their nests on "Bird Rock"—a 100-metre-tall stack of sandstone that is separated from the viewing area by a
chasm only a few metres wide.



Here you see me really close to the rock. I wanted to go nearer, but RikeH was a little afraid of the steep cliffs - and unfortunately she cannot fly - and told me that a 100-meter-fall would have been not really good for her.



This was the view to the other direction.





We were not able to count the birds, because many of them were away to find food for their children.

This night we spent in a funny cottage. Have you ever seen something like this in a fridge?



There was a big bear, but I was not afraid of it.



I found a great chair to relax.



But it was nicer to spend the evening together with Quentin Ducky and Dicker Kumpel in front of the fireplace.



Love
Lintilla

Hello Mum,

we were in Twillingate - a little town next to the sea with nice old houses.





Behind me you can see the harbour - and the way to the ocean.



This lovely beach was next to our home. We had a great view there.

Hello Mum,

we spent the day in the Gros Morne National Park. Here are many big mountains and wonderful bays. I liked it a lot!

First we stopped at a lookout and saw the Bonne Bay.



We drove further and stopped next to it.



The next stop was next to the Tablelands. They were really interesting..



In a small town called Woody Point we saw this old house. I have no idea, why RikeH was not able to make a nicer photo - maybe because it was too windy?



After walking another trail we reached this wonderful waterfall. It was amazing!



We had a great day here in the National Park!

yours Lintilla

Hello Mum,

RikeH packed our bags again - so we had time to play in front of the cottage.

I loved the slide.



It was a very big one!



Then I tried the swing.



But playing alone was boring - so we all tried to use the slide together.



The idea was not so good...



So RikeH came and told us to sit in the sunshine.



We spent this night in a lodge - next to it was this pond.



Tomorrow it is the birthday of Dicker Kumpel. We will sing a song for him - but he doesn't know it now!

many greetings
Lintilla

Hello Mum,

as you know, it was Dicker Kumpel's birthday today.
We sang a wonderful song for him.



Then we gave him a big hug!



After the breakfast we drove to St. Anthony - it is in the North of Newfoundland.
Next to the street we found some snow - in June!



We made a boat trip - and saw this wonderful iceberg! This was amazing, Mum.



In the evening we had the birthday party! We had a lovely drink.



... and something nice to eat.



We were very tired for a moment.



But then we decided to become artists!

Lintilla

Hello Mum,

Tomorrow I will leave Dicker Kumpel and RikeH and travel to my next host. But first I want to tell you about our last day in Canada.

In the evening our traveling group sat together in a big armchair. We met a new friend from Newfoundland. He is the funny puffin between us.



We had a small party – it was such a nice holiday!



Now back in Germany it was time to say goodbye to Dicker Kumpel. He was such a nice host! I will miss him.



Then I got a hug by him and Aslan.



Now I am on my way to Italy!

Love
Lintilla
