Hello Mommy,

today we went to the Gardens of the World in district of Marzahn.
First we had a look to the Korean garden.


Then we saw the Chinese garden. So beautiful. It was surrounded by water. As it was really hot that day we decided to stay in the Chinese garden and relax near the water.


I think I got a sunburn.

Hey Mummy,

today we went to Pichelswerder, a stream island in the west of Berlin. Ok, it is not an island, just a peninsula.
I enjoyed the fresh breeze near the water.


The big trees didn't let the sun burn me again!


Can you image there is a lighthouse in Berlin? It's not a big one just a light beacon, but there's no ocean around! Can you see all the tiny ships behind it?

Hi Mom,

today we did a tour by bike!


We went to one of the neighborhoods of my host's mom's hometown.
The park in the village was really beautiful and we saw a castle! It is a manor house which was built in the style of the renaissance.


Then we saw a direction sign to a mineral spring.


We followed the sign and arrived at a small hut, but we couldn't see any spring.


We went on between fields and forests and more fields... Can you see the other neighborhood in the background? Really tiny houses.


On our way back we stopped at the lake near "Untermühle". Do you remember? I've been here last week.


Lots of love,

Hi Mummy,

today we did another trip with Alex' car!


We already knew the way. At the place where you can see the light we had to turn right.


Turn right here!


Then we could see the fast street!


We entered the street and Crawfish hit the gas. She drove and drove and drove and whoooaaaa...


...we reached the highway! You can't imagine how fast we were!

Today we passed a field of rape. It looks so beautiful.

Hey Mom,

today we visited the Funkturm Berlin (Radio Tower). It is a transmitting tower, built between 1924 and 1926 and it is nicknamed "der lange Lulatsch" ("the lanky lad"). The tower stands in the Berlin trade fair ground in the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf borough and it is now a protected monument.
The tower is built as one large steel framework construction, similar to the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The 150 m high radio tower was originally planned strictly as a transmitting tower, but later additions included a restaurant at a height of approximately 52 m.

Hello Mommy,

did you read the last updates of DuDette, Alex and Squab (and DuDu)???

DuDette was kidnapped!

Hihi, they all don't know that we girls kidnapped her, just to test Alex if he's able to find some lost tvs! You have to know he's now a member of a Detective Agency.
He found DuDette, but couldn't find the kidnappers -  Kirin, Crawfish and me! He was too small to have a look over the high fence!

Happy Mommy-Day !!!

Today I've been to Potsdam. It is the capital city of the German federal state of Brandenburg and is situated on the River Havel, 24 km (15 mi) southwest of Berlin city centre.

We started our tour in the city center of this beautiful city. Behind Kirin and me you an see the Nauen Gate. It was built in 1755 and is one of the first examples of the influence of English Gothic Revival architecture in Continental Europe. It is located in close proximity to the Dutch Quarter, which you can see on the second picture. The Quarter is consisting of 134 red brick buildings in the Dutch style, almost all of which have been renovated. It was built from 1733 to 1740. It is considered as Europe's largest collection of Dutch-style houses outside the Netherlands.



This is Brandenburg Gate. Yes, Potsdam is also having one, but it is smaller than the one in Berlin. It was built in 1770/71.


This is the Protestant Church of Peace (Friedenskirche). It is situated in the Marly Gardens on the Green Fence in the palace grounds of Sanssouci Park.


Look, behind me you can see the famous palace of Sanssouci! This is the south view. You can also see the vineyards. Sanssouci is the name of the former summer palace of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia. The castle with its parks and other castles is one of the biggest UNESCO World Heritages. The palace was built in the Rococo style between 1745 and 1747.



Here you can see the Sanssouci Picture Gallery. It is the oldest extant museum built for a ruler in Germany.


From the north side of Sanssouci Palace, between the columns, you can see the colonnade of the court of the Ruinenberg on the other side. A round temple, three high ionic columns, a small pyramid, and a ruined wall, designed as if from a Roman theatre, were grouped around the pool.


This is the Historic Mill and it became a famous well beyond the boundary of Potsdam. The design reflects construction methods around the year 1800, its technical equipment in part that of the turn of the 19th century. It is an octagonal post and has a height of 25.78 metres and, up to the upper edge of the sail, 35.45 metres. The stone pedestal is 13.41 metres, the wooden smock is 12.37 metres and the length of the rods is 12 metres each.


The Orangery Palace is also known as the New Orangery on the Klausberg. It was built by the Romantic on the Throne, Friedrich Wilhelm IV from 1851 to 1864. It has a 300 meter long front and lots of palm trees inside.




This is the New Palace and it is situated on the western side of the park. The building was begun in 1763, after the end of the Seven Years' War and was completed in 1769. It is considered to be the last great Prussian baroque palace.


We also saw the Roman Baths of the the prince. This is the garden house and the house for its keepers. Both were built in Italian country house style.


The last we visited in the park was the Chinese House. It is a garden pavilion and it was built in the then-popular style of Chinoiserie, a mixture of ornamental rococo elements and parts of Chinese architecture.


So many palaces, I'm feeling like a princess, a little bit.

Today I left the others! I'm going home to my Mom. All the others hugged me and the other leaving tvs.


Then I jumped into my envelope.


I will all my new friends. Maybe one day we will meet again!
