Travelog for: Reinhilde

The evening we spent in Füssen. Füssen has a very nice old city center.

Today we did a hiking tour along the Alpsee and the castles of King Ludwig of Bavaria. We were standing on a bridge and had a great sight of Schloss Neuschwanstein.

At the end of our hiking tour we passed by another castle - Hohenschwangau.

Today we went to see the famous Oktoberfest. When we got out of the sub-way everywhere it was full with people. Large crowds were walking on the Theresienwiese, enjoying the attractions. We did not go into a tent - it was just too crowded to even enter the door to a tent.

Every morning we go for a  walk along the Isar river. It is nice and peaceful and also green - I would not have thought of having all of this green right in the city center. And the nice autumn colours!

Hello, I am on the road again to the Netherlands!

Hi mum,

I never knew that a trip from Germany to the Netherlands would be so long! Isn't it right next to each other?
Up to now I have been travelling longer than it was from Canada to my home, and I still haven't arrived!
I'm not lost, am I?


Love,

Reinhilde

Hey there,

About a week ago I finally arrived in Nieuw Weerdinge, a small town near Emmen, in the Netherlands.
I had to take a break to rest from the travel. And was hugging lots with the lovely 5 year old Tessa.

She took me to a party. It was the welcoming of a Saint!
He gives away presents on his birthday. What a lovely man. They call him Sinterklaas. He travels with a lot of colourd people who help him take the gifts to all the children's houses!
This way all dutch kids get presents on the 5th of December, the evening before Sinterklaas' birthday.

In advance, the children (and their parents) get presents in their shoe.

Hey!
It's almost Christmas! I wish you all very cosy and lovely christmas days and a very happy 2010!

A christmas tree has been set up at the house. Homer, Woofer and I just couldn't stop ourselves from climbing in. I think we were busted 

Our host send us outside to play. But it was cold! And we have snow!
Yeah, sleigh riding in the snow! And we wanted to show the house we stay in. Isn't it great?

You'll hear from me soon again!
