Hi!

Today we get a little envelope again.


We're excited every time. Who is it???


Look! It's the very cut Joesy from Germany!


Her Mom wasn't here for a long time  ...
She's the girl friend of 3*Euro and virtually the daughter in law from Yosemite.

We gave her a warm welcome!


Kiss,
Jules

Hello Mummy,

today was an exhausting but wonderful day.

We've set up the Christmas tree!

Heave-ho!


Phew!


At first the fairy lights.




This year we take colorful, glittering and  gleaming christmas balls.
Hostmum calls it "Las Vegas Christmas tree" ....





Done! But in the light the tree looks not so good…



Ah! Better!


It was a wonderful day!

Greetings,
Jules

Hi Mom!

Holiday!

We make a week holiday near the city of Luebeck!



8 hours with 2 hours traffic jam later we have arrived in our holiday home.

It's already dark and we are so tired!

My first day in Lindow.
Lindow is  a  tiny village in the northwest from Mecklenburg Western Pomerania.
The city of Luebeck are 15 km from here.

This is our holiday home (where the door is open).
It's a thatched cottage from 1875!
I think it's beautiful!

Here I'm in Kluetz.

This windmill is a restaurant that I could buy. Can you lend me some money ?


This trunk of this tree is amazing!

Now I'm in the city of Wismar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wismar).

Since 2002 is Wismar a UNESCO World Heritage Sites.


This is "Wasserkunst" (water art, waterworks) from 1602.

Today I visit the city of Luebeck  (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%BCbeck)

Luebeck is know for marzipan.

A famous german novelist  is from here: Thomas Mann (Buddenbrooks).

This is the landmark of Luebeck: the "Holstentor" (Holsten Gate).


The historic part of Luebeck is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.






Behind me the old town.

Today finally the weather is nice and the sun is shining.

We make a trip the the Baltic Sea by Boltenhagen.


We relax and look at the sea.


This is sea buckthorn. This shrub is typical of the Baltic Sea.

Today I visit the State capital of Mecklenburg - Vorpommern Schwerin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwerin).

St-Paul's-Church


This is the "Arsenal".


Schwerin has many little lakes.
This is the "Pfaffenteich".




Right is the cathedral of Schwerin.


This is the Schwerin Castle (Parliament of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern).


Here can you see the State museum. Left is the theater.

Our holiday is almost over….

Today I was on the Baltic Sea and I drove with a ferry at Travemünde.

I eat fresh matjes (young herring/tent peg) and shrimp cocktail.


My last holiday photo…. I had a great time! 


I hope you like my updates!

I wish you a merry, peaceful and blessed  happy, healthy and successful New Year!

I love you Mom!

Jules

Hi Mommy!

Now it's time to travel further!

I say goodbye to my TV friends.


Berlin! I'm coming!


Bye,
Jules

...long time no see. You may remember: I was on my way to the next host - in Berlin! And with me the winter arrived in Berlin too! Snow, minus temperatures, frozen sea and canals... I was on a walk through this hibernal scenery and met another ToyVoyager! Her name is Susy and she's so lovely! I really enjoyed her presence!

But I am not in Berlin for seeing snow... I want to see the buildings and sights! And today we had sunny weather here. So me and my host we had a great trip through the city! We saw the old facade of the 'Anhalter Bahnhof' (it's from 1841), the Potsdam Square and the Brandenburg Gate (1791)!

We also visited the Reichstag building which was opened in 1894. Sadly - maybe happily - Miss Merkel had no time to say "Hello!" to me. Instead we had a wonderful view of the TV-Tower from the back of the building where the 'Spree' flows.
