Travelog for: Yetta Bear

Hello from the Santa Claus Village!

We saw these signs today – and wanted to meet Santa Claus.





But can you imagine it? Santa Claus didn’t allow to make own photos – and wants to have a lot of money for the photos taken by his gnomes…

So we decided that his Santa Claus is nice, too.



There were an ice bear and some gnomes next to him.





There were signs showing the distance to some cities around the world.



And here is Santa Claus’ Main Post Office – he has to write many letters each year.



I was really in the North now.



I crossed the Arctic Circle Mum – have you ever done it?





Love

Hello Mum,

We visited Helsinki today.  Behind me you can see the cathedral.



This is a Russian church – I loved the gold on the roof.



Near to the water we saw this beautiful building.



This is a wonderful church – inside a rock – really strange.

Hello Mum,

Today was our last day in Finland – and we spent it in Porvoo. We met a really nice lady there. First we climbed up a hill and had a look over the town. Unfortunately the trees were really high!



This was a better place to look at the city.



Behind me you can see the famous houses next to the river. The weather was not as sunny as yesterday, so you cannot see it so good.



There were moomins living in this shop.



We had a stop next to his bunny-lady. On the right side you can see some other TVs.





Then we did something funny – we went onto the Castle-Hill. But there was no castle anymore…


We stopped on a bridge and saw some nice new houses…



…and a ship with the funny name Glückauf.



Here we had a better view of the famous houses.



It was a great time in Finland!

Hello from a Ferry again.

We were back on the way to Germany. Fortunately we had television in our cabin. So we watched soccer. In the first game the Netherlands played.  Vriendje was so excited.







Unfortunately for Vriendje the Netherlands lost.

I had a look out of the window and saw this:



We went outside and had a wonderful sunset! Two life missions for me! 



Here you can see a model of our Ferry!



It was time for soccer again. We decided to have a party!



Cheers!



The game was great!







GOAL!







Germany won – and we celebrated it!





The next morning we first had a coffee!



We preferred some fresh fruits!  No more wine and beer!

Hello Mum,

We went to Hamburg today.  The weather was not so nice - but no problem for us. We walked along the lake Alster in the center of Hamburg. Can you see the sailing ships?



There were more boats - I think they will be used if the weather is better!



There were some geese.



It was a nice place!



Believe it or not – it was the same day – only some minutes later – and we had sunshine.



One of many churches in Hamburg.



Many greetings

Hello Mum,

We went to Hamburg again. But today we went to the Port. And we saw a cruise ship!



This Part of the Port is called ‘Speicherstadt’. It is the old warehouse district, but they built a lot of new houses there.



Here you can see the old houses.



This is another part of the Port.



We made a short boat trip.







Behind me you can see the pier of the port.



My last views of the port.

Hello Mum,

It was my last day in Sülfeld today. I will travel to the South of Germany! But I wanted to have a walk before I jumped into my envelope. Here you see me in front of a small lake.



Later we sat in front of this nice sign and enjoyed the sunshine.



Then it was time to say goodbye – the others gave me a big hug.



I will write, when I arrive in Heidelberg.

Love
Yeeta Bear

Dear Mum

Hello from Heidelberg. It's very hot here, so I'm going to relax a little now. My new host loved the Hamburg postcard I had brought with me.

Bye,
Yetta Bear

Dear Mum

Here are some impressions from the banks of the river Neckar and the Botanical Garden.

















Bye,
Yetta Bear

Dear Mum

Today I took a walk in the south of Heidelberg where I saw some horses and passed along a huge maize field.









Love,
Yetta Bear

Dear Mum

Today I had a look around the city centre where I saw a lot of old buildings and walked through narrow streets. I saw the castle from a distance and crossed the Old Bridge.









Love,
Yetta Bear

Today I explored the mountains north of the river Neckar. The "Heiligenberg" was quite a busy place in the past. People of Celtic origin already settled there in pre-historic times and in the Middle Ages two monasteries were built on the mountain. Nowadays it's a nature reserve.









Hugs,
Yetta Bear

Dear Mum

Today Brinda and I accompanied nuriayasmin on a short walk in the forest. Unfortunately the reason was a sad one. Nuriayasmin's cat Shelley had died this morning and we buried her in the forest.

This is where she found her last rest:



It was actually quite interesting to be so deep in the forest. I felt like a big bear - but unlike in the US there don't live any bears in German forests.





Look, I met a slug:



After a while we were back on trail and took the bus back home.



Sad greetings,
Yetta Bear

Hi Mum

Today a new TV arrived. It's Zed Dog from Wales.



Hope to have a great time with him.

Love,
Yetta Bear

Dear Mum

Today I saw a bit of Cologne which is Germany's 4th biggest city after Berlin, Hamburg and Munich. We didn't have much time but took a walk along the river Rhine and visited the Cathedral which was a very impressive building and is situated directly next to the central station.











Bye, Yetta Bear
