Travelog for: Minnilotta

Good news, folks! I'm on the road again! By the time you read this, me and my best friend Dille are on our way to Germany to meet RikeH. I stayed with her before. She's a lovely host.
And now she will take us on a beautiful trip to... Niagara Falls! How about that?
But first we said goodbye to our TV-friend Indigo and Dille's big sister and cousin Abby.

Hello Mum,

I visit Dicker Kumpel again! We didn't see us for 4 years, but of course we were in contact over the years. This time I come with Dille.



Dicker Kumpel introduced us to Kleine Fee, Stoker and Sansone. It is great to be here again!

Hallo Mum,

I am on the Bornholm Island. Today I went onto the beach near to our holiday house.  The crossing looks good.



And the beach was beautiful!







Surely I will come back and walk along the Baltic Sea.



But today we wanted to go to Dueodde and see the lighthouse there.



Next to it I climbed onto a dune and had a great view.





Then we walked to the beach – it looked similar to the first one.



Far behind me you can see the lighthouse.



I saw the sunlight on the water.



We liked it here.



Then we arrived at an exciting place.



Maybe you cannot see it on the sign. Then 55th Northern latitude and the 15th Eastern longitude meet here.



At the end we found a beautiful water mill – without water today.

Hello Mum,

Today we travelled back in the medieval times. This was the house of the guilds.



The craftsmen met here in the Past.



But we found a nice cradle for us.



Next to it was the smithy.





We arrived at the best part of the village – I saw a big palisade.





This was the kitchen.







Then I went to the wonderful manor on the left side of the photo.



The paintings were interesting – and colorful.



I loved the bedroom.



Can you see the Tower behind me?



We climbed up and had a nice view.



On the meadow we found a rune stone.



They had water mills in that time.



I really loved it here.

Hello Mum,

This is the round church in Østerlars.



It is famous for its fresco paintings.



This was the font – it is as old as the church.



The altar.



A beautiful church.



You won't guess, what you see behind me.



It was the famous water tower of Snaneke. It was designed by the famous Danish architect Jörn Utzon – he built the opera of Sydney.

But of course there was a mill here – a wooden one this time.



This mill had a good size.



But the original next to it was beautiful, too. And the wings were in motion!

Hello Mum,

It was time to show our holiday home. It was big enough for all of us here.



A great living-room…



…and a nice kitchen.



Do you know what this is? It was the start of a wasps' nest



These were our favourite places – we could sit here and watch TV, or turn around and look into the beautiful garden.

Hi Mum,

Today we want to see a big balanced rock. There are some of it on Bornholm, but we wanted to go to  the most famous one.



The way was nice, but long.



There is the Rokkestenen. This big boulder is under nature protection since 1894.





I took a photo with people on it, because you can see how big the boulder is. I wasn't strong enough to let it move.

Hi Mum,

Our next stop was Balka. It has a long beach.



I visited the small harbor.





Then I went to the beach. We had to balance over this water.



Some people lie in the sun or went into the water.



It was a nice place.

Hello Mum,

Snogebæk had a pier to the harbor, but it was only 100 meters long.

This view was beautiful.



But I liked these small houses.



This was funny.



Ugh, a factory for cod liver.



This house was so funny – its roof was a boat.

Hello Mum,

What a beautiful place. I visit the Niagara-Falls. Behind me you see the US-Fall.



There is the Canadian fall – it seems to be wider.



It looked so beautiful!



We went behind the falls – well – this view wasn't that exciting. But it was very loud – and I felt the power of the water.



Then we went onto a great viewing-platform.





It was very wet – you see the people with the yellow ponchos. Thank you Rike that you took photos, although your camera got wet…



Well –the camera was dry again – the lense was cleaned. Now I am on a boat. This was the US-waterfall.



And the Canadian – we went nearer to it. Really near – but we were not able to take photos there, because it was too wet.



A photo of both falls. I had a lot of fun here.

Hello Mum,

We went into the Gatineau Park. First we stopped at the Pink Lake. Then we continued to the Mackenzie King Estate – the home of the 10th premier of Canada. We saw nice houses, a beautiful lake, a funny ruin and a beautiful water fall there.

Hello Mum,

A short review of Dicker Kumpel's birthday. We sang a song for him – then he got some gifts. A funny guy who glow in the dark – and someone who can climb on walls. Great.

Later we sat in front of a fireplace.

Yours
Minnilotta

Hello Mum,

Time to see the artists from Dicker Kumpel's birthday. The first guy walked down the wall.

We had a nice party with a drink and popcorn while we waited that it will get dark. And then we saw the funny green glowing boy. This was great!
