Hi Mum,

Today in the park, we saw someone had been yarn bombing the Tane Mahuta statue - sadly the head has been stolen from the carving - this is the second time it has happened.

Hi Mum,

Today I arrived Remscheid and all the plushies there gave me a very warm and friendly welcome and a first group hug


Mefito was the first


Then Charlotte hugged me


Here Laika welcomes me


This is HelmutBluepant


Gozer, the cool bear hugs me


And this is Hase, a smart bunny


Then I showed and gave my gifts, yummy sweets, a nice card and a colourful bookmark

Thanks a lot for the nice souvenirs, fleursmum

After my arrival we all together shared the raspberries


Finally we all sat around our special-plushie-campfire, heard stories from Down Under and singing songs the whole night


That´s it for today, see You soon
Yours
Elmar

Hello Mum,

today we made a trip into prehistoric times and went to a famous place near Düsseldorf called Neandertal. There for about more than 150 years Dr. Carl Fuhlrott found relicts of a prehistoric human and he called him "Neanderthaler"


Here he welcomes us very friendly


Interesting for me, to meet my first ancient colleague


But let´s see what we can learn from the prehistoric humans outside

Here a reconstruction of an oven from the late stone age

Interesting tools for hunting


and fishing

The huge skull of a prehistoric aurochs


Small talk between plushie to plushie


Interesting, how a prehistoric drill works


And what for nice artefacts the prehistoric people had


And small talk with an impressive felt-mammoth


An instrument called "atlatl", or spear thrower


It helps to throw the spear about a longer distance

What an informative and interesting day but now we all are tired


That´s it for today
See You soon
Yours Elmar

Hello Mum,

today we left Remscheid at noon to spend our weekend at a noble resort chosen by Charlotte

Here Strunki takes care that we all have a safe seat

And after two hours we reached this for Lotte suitable nice place


It´s a wellness-hotel situated in the middle of a wonderful park




This is the acess to the entrance



And here we sit in the middle of 5 wonderful hedges cut in waveform


The reception is called "Orangerie"


Here the view from the gallery

Have You ever seen such a nice view on such a large pool?


Here we are outside again on a footwalk between the guesthouses

It is called fuchisa-avenue

This is the pump-room with the curative water sources built in the early 19th century in the Biedermeyer style

There we drank the healing water.


It tastes very well

Now we are in the library, also used as a smokers room


Look, the wallpaper shows the same asian scene You find on the upholstery


Now we are in our suite




This is our view out of the window

Now we stand in front of the guesthouse our suite is situated


This wing is an outer part of the connected ballroom

Have a look inside the main ballroom


This is the main entrance, or Orangerie, again at night


Here we are in the corridor of our guesthouse


This huge boar we met in another wing of another guesthouse




But he didn´t want to follow us into the SPA, where we made a sauna-session




These were our nice days in Bad Driburg
See You soon Mum,
Love and hug You
Yours
Elmar
