Col du Grand St. Bernard, Italy - 12th September 2009
By: RikeH
Bongiorno Mum,
after sleeping in the train I got breakfast in the morning – here is the breakfast-box. What would be inside?
Now you see my breakfast: 1 coffee, 1 orangejus, 1 croissant, 1 roll, jam, sausage and cheese:
After arriving in Alessandria, Italy, we had to wait for the motorbikes … after a while the car-waggon came and I could climb on our bike.
Today we were in Italy, the country with the best cappuccino in world. I drank my first one in Etroubles.
Afterwards we drove up the 2.476 m high pass Col du Grand St. Bernard. Here you see the lake and the winding road we had driven.
After driving through Switzerland we arrived in the afternoon in Chamonix, France ... my third country today! Unfortunately the weather was terrible - it rained cats and dogs so I could not see Europe's highest mountain with 4.810 m. Philipp and Tobias thougt you, Mum, should get an impression of the Mont Blanc - so they took a picture of two postcards for you … Chamonix with the mountain and the ridge.
Au revoir!
ThomasHH

Col de la Bonette, France - 15th September 2009
By: RikeH
Bon jour Mum,
the day started with sunshine and an excellent breakfast because we had to get energy … we wanted to drive up the highest road in Europe.
On our way southerly the weather changed and it began to rain. First the rain was small so I could take a picture of the wide road which leads up to the pass Col de la Bonette. The top of the pass is in 2.715 m. From there the route goes up to the highest road-point in Europe with a heigh of 2.802 m. While it rained in the lower parts of the Alps in the higher mountains snow fell down. On the next picture you see the road where it was still fine. Behind the bend we had a heigh of 2.450 m and Philipp und Tobias could not see anything because their visors were totally coverd in snow. I tried to lead them because I did not wear a helmet but I did not work … the snowfall got stronger and stronger and I got it in my eyes. Maybe one day I come again to the Cime de la Bonette, the highest road in Europe … Mum, what do you think about making holidays there next summer?
Au revoir!

Menton, France - 17th September 2009
By: RikeH
Bon jour Mum,
today the sun was shinning beautiful - so I had taken a sunbath on the balcony before we started to the main-harbour of Menton. There you see me with impressive yachts – their names are MY Zaffiro and MY Philip – in the front of Menton town centre.
After leaving the harbour we started our tour through the maritim Alps. First you see the motorway-bridge of the coastal-motorway. Our road was not so wide as the motorway. When we drove up we saw a small bridge and I thought I would cross over them … but I did not – it is an old footbridge.
On our way to Sospel, a town in the mountains, we had wonderful views over the hinterland of the coast. Inside the Alps we catched the sight of Sospel. The town has a lot of colorful flowers and an old stone-gate over a small river.
Our next destination was the pass Col de Braus, 1.002 m. Therefore we went up a winding road which is comfortable built. Mum, here you can drive with me upwards:
Later the road gets narrower. At the roadside I saw a sign which warned of deers … I do not know until today what the sign wants to say – there are no deers beside the road, I only saw a giraffe.
So the road-administration shoud change the road sign – here you see my suggestion:
On our way back to Menton the road leads first upwards …
… and then along the coast. Here, Mum, you see MS Noordam, a cruiseliner from the shipping company Holland America Line, in front of Monaco. Maybe one day I will travel to Monaco – but not yet because we are in the mountains to drive with our motorbikes.
So the day ended with a nice view over the Mediterranean Sea after starting with a sunbath on the balcony. That was a beautiful day!
Au revor!
ThomasHH

Oosterhout, Netherlands - 1st October 2009
By: Bloemmie29
Hi mommy!!
Can you believe this? One moment I'm home with you and the next I'm appearing in a big envelope in the Netherlands...
What a weird journey that has been, I feel like I've been half way around the world... and back!
As you can see, the envelope was soooo big for me.. or am I that small??
But the best thing happend, when I got out of the envelope. I was just sitting there, relaxing and taking the room in to me, when suddenly a red crab-like toy approached me... I thought she looked familair and guess what: she did!!
I met BineHH!!! Here in Oosterhout! What a small world it is.
So here I am, fresh out of the envelope and I already completed one of my lifemissions!! Wow!!
I'm not sure what the plans will be for the next days or weeks... I know I will join Bloemmie29 on a trip to many differant countries in Africa... yes, in the Netherlands but I do not know what other things I will be seeing or doing here... who knows!!

Hello! This is me (Thomas))) I`m not lost)) It's just that Kate had a small problem, but now everything is normal. During the time that I didn`t write happened to me a lot of interesting things. I went to the Moscow subway, was at the station, which is built on the bridge! Was on the Sparrow Hills, has been at MSU, at the Manege Square, where we met with Mumu Mishook, he told us where he was and we told him about our adventures. We have there even been a mini-picnic. And yesterday to Kate came a wonderful cat Precious. She also travels a lot, and she regaled us Finnish chocolate)) So, all was great.
P.s. Mishook gave me pretty scharfs)) And now I can`t imagine what I would do without it, because in Moscow is coold))
