When we came through the gate we could see the county court building again. It is the one with the little tower.

This time we crossed the street to get a better view on the Damiantor.

I read about Amalie again, because I already forgot everything. I asked to get a photo with a snail this time, so here it is

Then we turned around a took a look back to the mainbuilding.

We crossed the street again and had a got a last photo taken with the county court and the main building, standing at almost the same place while taking the photos.

Then we walked to the other gate next to the mainbuilding. Before we walked through it, we took a photo of the view back to the county court, the gate Damianstor and if you take a closer look, you also can spot the tower of the prison between Damianstor and the tree.

Here you see the tower of the church St. Damian and Hugo again. Then we walked into the palace garden again, took a photo of the terrace and some nice flowers and at last a photo with leaves and chestnuts.

I showed Hömpfmömpf the place, where you can see the little tower of the old hospital building and the prison.

We drove to the Belvedere and took some more photos there and once more photos of the place above Andreasstaffel.

We also walked a bit down the Andreasstaffel and had a few to the top from there. You see that small house. It is called Wingerthäusle. You can read about it in one of the photos.

Then we walked back to the Belvedere and drove home again.

Since yesterday we are on a farm in Schotten called Oberwaider Hof. I've seen horses, pigs and mushrooms. I had been there with many other toyvoyagers, but there were also many pupils with us. So our host was very busy.

Today we drove to Ulm and took some photos on the way. It was a bit difficult to take sharp photos, because it was too dark. The photos by night are from Stuttgart. We've seen the big wheel, but it is also a blurry photo. And you can see the small bridge, that leads you to the Wilhelma.


Here we are close to Geisslingen.
















We've seen the Cathedral of Ulm in the far.




On our way home it was getting darker and darker, so there are only a few photos, which are a bit better. Nevertheless it is what we've seen, when we drove and drove and drove.






Here's the blurry photo with the big wheel in Stuttgart. Stuttgart is the main city of Baden-Württemberg.






And here is the small bridge.

Today is a sad day. We received the news, that a good toyvoyager friend died of cancer. We went to the church St. Peter and prayed for her and her family. So here aren't many words, but only photos.













Street Petersgasse with old houses




Street Engelsgasse




Then we walked over the graveyard, which is next to the church.










Here are graves of men, who died during World War I.






This is the Jewish part of the graveyard.








Then we walked back home again. Here we see the backside of the house called Santa Maria.




The graveyard is rather steep, so difficult to walk for older people.




The institute Santa Maria was opened in 1908. At first it was a church-social institution. Since 1981 it became a private school for social pedagogy.

I had been allowed to join Petra on her trip with her colleagues. She still thinks, that it is somehow funny, when she takes photos of toyvoyagers - that's what she says. Can you believe it? I can't. Here we are in front of the castle. Bergzabern Schloss is a landmark in the town of Bad Bergzabern, located in the old town centre. Formerly the residence of the Dukes of Pfalz-Zweibrücken, it now houses the administrative functions of the local government of Bad Bergzabern.




We walked a while and then came through this small village with these beautiful half-timbered houses.




We've also visited a shop, but we haven't bought anything.

Today some of us were allowed to join Petra and her sister, when they drove to Stuttgart, which is the main town of Baden-Württemberg. They went on a concert, which was the final of a hit show, which a famous German radio station (SWR1) had organized a few weeks before.
Here I stay in front of the Mercedes Benz Arena, but the concert was in a hall called Schleyerhalle.






So let's see, where we will sit - or dance?

My host's son started to study in Ulm and so he needs a room, where he can sleep. Because it was so difficult to find a place, my host decided to drive to Ulm and stay there for two nights to help him. She had the car, so it was easier to drive from house to house.



We had a nice, but most of the time foggy view to the Ulm Minster - cathedral.
