Spiekeroog, Germany - 9th March 2014
By: mcdaniels
Hi dad,
today we went to Spiekeroog island by ferry. On the island we first had tea, coffee and cakes in a very nice café. After that it was time for another rest so we sunbathed on an old tree
Then we visited two churches, the old one and the new one that looked like a tent.
The whole afternoon we enjoyed the warm and lovely day on the beach
Special greetings and 1000 hugs
yours Monsti

Jever, Germany - 10th March 2014
By: mcdaniels
Hi dad,
today we walked through Jever looking for a bikeshop for borrowing some bikes.
On our way we visited some nice old houses, the palace of Jever, a statue of Mary (last regent of Jever), a statue of a big bull, a statue of a peeing dog and a nice blooming tree. Suddenly we came into difficulties (a battle in the middle of the town ) but finally we found a bikeshop and with our bikes we started to our first biketour.
Look at the funny sign: a place called 'without-sorrows'...it must be nice to live there!
And look at the road surface: millions of old stones instead of asphalt!
Yours Monsti

Hooksiel, Germany - 11th March 2014
By: mcdaniels
Dear dad,
today we went on a cycling tour. Following the 'Tour de Fries' we passed typical Friesian farm houses, typical Friesian moats with nice typical reed and typical Friesian cows.
After a while we reached Hooksiel, a coastal place that is filled with tourists during the summer months. We visited the little old harbour, the yacht harbour, the former townhall, a canon and a funny cow
After sunbathing in a typical Friesian wicker beach we went into a nice café for drinking typical Friesian black tea (from a typical Friesian tea service) with rock candy. Yummy!
I think it was a typical Friesian very nice day
Yours Monsti

Langeoog, Germany - 12th March 2014
By: mcdaniels
Hi dad,
today we went to Langeoog island by ferry. From Langeoog harbour we drove to the centre of the island by a nice old train.
For exploring the island of course we borrowed two bikes. On our way to the beach we met a bull with imposing horns (definitely no typical Frisian bull ). We visited the water tower and a very funny sign. The beach was as great as our tour through the dunes. We climbed up the highest point of Langeoog and had a great view! When we carried on cycling suddenly a nice seagull landed and said "Hi, I'm Emma and I decided to come with you!" and so she did. Back in Langeoog-town we met a fisherman before it was time to say goodbye to this great island.
Yours Monsti

Jever, Germany - 13th March 2014
By: mcdaniels
Hi dad,
today morning we were just relaxing on the balcony when suddenly somebody rang the doorbell. Who could it be? We walked to the door and opened it and saw a rabbit girl who said: "Hi there, I'm Hanna Hops and I decided to drive home with your hostmum when your holiday's over. I saw her together with you in the book shop in Jever I've lived until now and I thought it's a good idea to start a new phase of my life leaving this place behind me and following you."
With these words she jumped onto the sofa. We followed her and for the rest of the mornig we sat together listening to her experiences and adventures. She's very nice and she knows what she wants, I'm sure.
Yours Monsti

Jever, Germany - 13th March 2014
By: mcdaniels
Hi dad,
in the afternoon we visited another parts of Jever city: the Jever brewery, a windmill, a cage for people (in former times supposed witches were put under water in such a cage...if they survived under water they were real witches and were killed, if not they were innocent but dead...a total terrible practise... ) and a millions-year-old fossil in a not so old wall.

Jever, Germany - 14th March 2014
By: mcdaniels
Dear dad,
today it's our last day in Jever so we went on a last cycling tour for saying goodbye to the North Sea.
On our way back we saw this funny sign But I swear we have been neither in Scandinavia nor in the USA and nowhere else than at the North Sea
In the evening we celebrated the end of our great holiday week in a very good restaurant

Paderborn, Germany - 25th March 2014
By: mcdaniels
Hi dad,
today it's been a very exciting day: in the morning a small parcel arrived. When we opened it Wavy Gravy appeared and Bernie fainted We asked us why she did so and tried to wake her up. After a while she sat up. Two seconds later Wavy Gravy proposed to her and...she fainted again! We didn't understand anything. When she woke up again she told him that she wanted to marry him OF COURSE! If you asked me, very strange story...Then they sat there very happy and very engaged...Perhaps they'll explain us what happened today when they'll be approachable again.

Schlangen, Germany - 29th March 2014
By: mcdaniels
Hi dad,
today morning we took a spring walk near Schlangen. There is a forest which is famous for a flower called 'Lerchensporn' in German. The flowers are blooming in white and purple and we saw thousands of them...it looked like a carpet of flowers
And we saw violets and 'Buschwindröschen' and 'Scharbockskraut' and another yellow flower...and Frederik found his first dandelion this year (he loves dandelion).
See you
yours Monsti
By the way: Bernie and Wavy Gravy had got to know each other at Yosemite's home. The'd fallen in love but had to part...and now they've met again. That's the reason for their behaviour...

Bad Driburg, Germany - 6th April 2014
By: mcdaniels
Hi dad,
today we had a TV-meeting in Bad Driburg: we met Strunki with HelmutBluepant, *Nick*, Störte and Sean. It was great to visit the garden of the hotel and the impressive sofas in it. See us sitting there: OleOrangescarf, HelmutBluepant, *Nick*, Sean, me, Wavy Gravy, Bernie, Störte, Soeren and Paris. And little Eugen.
And we saw a real old litter but nobody wanted to carry us
Then it was time to say goodbye to my good friend OleOrangescarf who travelled home with his mum. I'm sure we'll see again!
And we took *Nick* and Störte and Helmut with us home.
Bye
yours Monsti
