Bad Lippspringe, Germany - 12th August 2013
By: mcdaniels
Dear mum,
yesterday we drove to Bad Lippspringe, a spa near Neuenbeken.
A spa normally has got spa gardens and so it is in Bad Lippspringe. Of course we visited one of them. Wow! So many flowers and fountains! And a boat and a lighthouse in the middle of a wood
And of course a café
All the best
yours Sebastian

Paderborn, Germany - 14th August 2013
By: mcdaniels
Hi mum,
today a mysterious envelope from Strunki has arrived. Of course we were very curious and opened it immediately.
And what's been in it? Two further pairs of flipflops!
Spotty Wot was totally out of his mind cause hostmum said he could exchange the green ones into the blue or the purple ones.
The decision took very long but at last Spotty Chose the blue ones. He sat there very happy when sudddenly Dotty started to cry because she can't wear any flipflops at all. For calming her down Spotty wrote a postcard to Strunki asking her whether she could send something nice for Dotty.
We'll see,
yours Sebastian

Schloss Neuhaus, Germany - 16th August 2013
By: mcdaniels
Dear mum,
in the evening we drove to Schloss Neuhaus near Paderborn for watching a stage play in an open.air theatre. Unfortunately it wasn't allowed to take fotos during the Play so you can only see the stage.
It was a very thrilling thriller and I hope I can sleep tonight...
yours Sebastian

Paderborn, Germany - 17th August 2013

Hi mummy,
today afternoon hostmum said we could go into the garden and look whether we could find something to pick. And we did: raspberries, plums and tomatos. We immediately started to pick them and the sheeps behind the garden were very interested in our activities. We picked almost 3 kg (it could have been 3 kg if we didn't taste so much ) and many different tomatos.
And in the garden I got to know Lina the cat.
All the best
yours Sebastian

Paderborn, Germany - 18th August 2013
By: mcdaniels
Hi mummy,
today Mr. Moose, The WotWots and me made a sightseeing tour through Paderborn.
First we visited the cathedral. The first local missionary church was built up in the year 777. The new building of the cathedral took place in 799. As it stands today, the cathedral was erected between 1215-1280. Following the destructions it suffered during the Second World War it was rebuilt to its original design with a few minor alterations.
Of course we visited the 'hare window' in the inner courtyard of the cathedral: three hares with only three ears but every hare has got two ears
Foundations of the Carolingian and Ottonian-Salic imperial Palaces were exposed from 1964 until the late seventies. The Ottonian-Salic palace was reconstructed between 1976 and 1978 in accordance with a plan made by an architect. The original building construction with ist rising brickwork is clearly identifiable.
Then we visited the market square with the Neptun-fountain and the townhall.
After that we visited the river Pader, Germany's shortest river (only 4 km) but 200 springs inside the city and a big frog
At the end of the Second World War Paderborn was almost totally destroyed, only a few houses 'survived'.The pictures show the oldest house (built up in 1560) and a few other old half-timbered houses.
Finally we took a rest in an ice-cream parlour
Best wishes
yours Sebastian
