Friedrichskoog, Germany - 22nd September 2012

Dear mummy,
today morning Knirrie, Joesy, 3*Euro, Mary, hostmum, hostdad, the dogs and me started to our holiday trip to Friedrichskoog, North Sea.
Mary the sheep came with us, because she was born in Friedrichskoog and wants to be our tourist guide.
We drive by car...and suddenly somebody switched off the light! Mary calmed us down explaining we were driiving through the long tunnel underneath the river Elbe.
Arriving in Friedrichskoog we first went to the dyke that protects the dry land against the sea. Climbing up the dyke we saw a nice sunset.
I'm looking forward to our adventures!
Best wishes, yours Konsta

Dear mummy,
in the morning we went to a baker's shop by bike for buying some rolls. Joesy had taken her tractor with her on holiday, so she could drove on the way back.
It was a sunny day, so we had a breakfast outside.
Later we had a walk (Joesy of course drove by tractor) along the coast to the lighthouse of Friedrichskoog.
Suddenly Joesy had an accident! Luckily Mary helped us pulling the tractor out of the hole!
Near the lighthouse we explored the environment, especially the gaps between the stones, and suddenly a gigantic crab stood in front of us , but luckily it was a very peaceful crab.
Best wishes, yours Konsta

Today it's been a very rainy day, so hostmum and hostdad have read almost the whole day...
Reading is boring, so we've studied the television program and have made ourselves comfortable in front of the television...

Meldorf, Germany - 25th September 2012
By: mcdaniels
Hi mummy,
today we drove to Meldorf, a little town near Friedrichskoog with a cathedral and nice street cafés.
First we went into a bookshop (in front of the shop 3*Euro and me saw a nice poster "chests of the coast", but Knirrie and Joesy weren't amused at all, we didnt't understand, why...) and while hostmum and hostdad were searching for books and calendars, we four rummaged around a bit...and imagine, suddenly we heard somebody calling! Looking around we discovered a little elk who said his name was Soeren and he would be bored and wanted to experience adventures. We all had the same idea: "Come with us", we said, "and become a ToyVoyager!"
And so he did! We four kept an eye on the entrance and Soeren came out carefully. When hostmum found us outside the bookshop and saw we suddenly were five, she went back and bought Soeren, because it was love at first sight!
In honour of the occasion we went into hostmum's favourite café...yummy!
I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun together with Soeren!
Best wishes, yours Konsta

Today hostmum and hostdad borrowed a bike on which two old dog ladies can be transported. On the way back home we saw an old cannon and entered it...I asked myself whether it was a good idea to look INTO a cannon...

Today we saw a sign that explained that latitude 54th runs through Friedrichskoog. And we visited the North Sea through a pair of binoculars...fantastic! There is a lot of water in the North Sea, I must admit.

Today we got to know the "Trischendamm", a dam built of stones that goes above two kilometres into the Sea. You can walk on it with water all around. Joesy wanted to drive by tractor, but after a few metres it became very very windy so she couldn't drive on and hostmum had to hold us in her hands so that we didn't fly away. Hostmum said that our mums wouldn't be amused if they had to search us at the coast of England or somewhere else...
Back at the start we played sea voyage on a little ship standing there for children. The ship was called "Hoppe Tosse" like the ship in the book "Pippi Langstrumpf".

Today it's been hostmum's and hostdad's wedding anniversary. So they showed us the mill in which they married a few years ago. In front of the mill there is a big heart made of iron...we made a nice remembering photo...
In honour of the occasion hostmum and hostdad wanted to eat out...without us...but we four creeped behind into the restaurant...I'm sure they haven't discover us

Brunsbüttel, Germany - 1st October 2012
By: mcdaniels
Today we went to Brunsbüttel, a town that is divided by the Kiel Canal. Every ten minutes two ferries cross the canal transporting cars, bikes and persons free of charge. And so we cross. Though the crossing was short we were happy to have a lifeboat on the ferry.
Then we visited the lock and a very big ship leaving it. Wow! And imagine, mum, there was a sailing yacht from Finland!

On the way to the little fishing port we saw a worrying sign: a car flying into the water We were glad to be on the way by bike
Unfortunately there was no fishing cutter in the harbour, only one in the shipyard.

Today we went to the Trischendamm again...and there was no water!!! We immediately wanted to run to the police for reporting that somebody had stolen the water...but Knirrie who knows a lot about the North Sea calmed us down by telling us about the tides. And she said that low tide is the best time for searching for shells. So we did and look, what we found:
