Travelog for: DottyCroc

Hello mum,

It rained today, nevertheless we wanted to go into the forest. Maybe we will find mushrooms.



We found mushrooms. First it was a small king bolete.



This beautiful mushroom is eatable... a blusher



And this small mushroom is really hot – Murph told us – we didn’t try it. 



Another mushroom: the tawny grisette



We had to hide under the trees because of the rain.



This plant looked interesting. It was not green.



At the end we found a nice portion of  chanterelles... Yummy 



A wonderful day in the forest!

Hello mum,

Today we took a long walk. We started in this small forest.



The first mushroom: The Miller- it really smelt like flour. 



Imagine that – we found truffles. 



And another beautiful cup



At the moment we only find small mushrooms  - not enough for taking it with us…



On our way back we walked over a big meadow.



There weren’t mushrooms, but beautiful flowers. 



And this plant is very rare.



Until soon

Hello mum,

Today we drove to a meeting with our friends, who like mushrooms like we do. This was the meeting point. Everybody said that the pea soup was very delicious.



We went into a wonderful forest.



There was a meadow with wild orchids in it… 



...and colorful mushrooms!



This forest was really great.



We found mushrooms – wonderful color, wasn’t it? 



I love this forest!

Hello mum,

We have new guests!



Dicker Kumpel and Kleine Fee arrived! And imagine this – they will stay for four weeks and travel to Rügen with us! We all are so happy. 



Of course we will celebrate it, but first we will go on a nice excursion.



There is a big castle in Derneburg.



In the forest was a small teahouse.



So many stairs… 



Unbelievable – there exists a pyramid in the forest inside of Germany. It is the grave of the former owner of the castle.



I liked this house.



There were small houses of fishermen next to many small ponds.



It didn’t look like one – but this was one of the fish ponds.



This region is really beautiful.

Hello mum,

Today we visited the Castle Marienburg. It looked beautiful!



Just like a fairytale… 



The courtyard of the castle…





We were not allowed to take photos inside of the castle. But we found this funny guy at the exit and wanted to have a photo with it.



In the evening we celebrated the arrival of Dicker Kumpel and Kleine Fee. Murph prepared a small party:



We drank, ate and talked a lot.



... even drank, ate and talked more...



Maybe a little too much? 





It was a wonderful evening!

Hello mum,

We arrived in our holiday flat. It was really nice.





Look what we found on our terrace…



Very cosy! 



We saw the harbor from our terrace.



I visited many famous places:  Kap Arkona



Jasmund





Mum, look, the world is upside down. 



This was a funny experience! 





Sellin – it is very famous.





And Neu Mukran



We  tried a specialty of Rügen.



In Murph’s new beach chair the liqueur tasted better. 



Unfortunately our holiday is over and we have to go back home.

Hello mum,

Today was my last day with Murph.



First we found a small king bolete – too small for taking it with us.



These mushrooms have a funny name in Germany – they are called ears of donkeys. 



These green mushrooms smell really good.



Very yummy! Aniseed toadstools 



Everybody knows these plants, we think.



I love these mushrooms! 



But I didn‘t see this mushroom before. An umbrella polypore



Al least we found a nice umbrella.



Then it was time to say goodbye. It was a nice time with Murph.







Mum, I am coming home.
