Hi Mom. Finally I am back at home and today I want to tell you about my journey to Prague.
We went there by train and it was a very long travel. We visited so many places and saw interesting things. Most I liked the Zoo There where so many animals. I can´t find words so I must show you the pictures. Also we visited the Torture Museum, a big Market, the Prague Castle, a big Musik Store and many other things. The food was excellent and also we visited a "Absinth Bar" and ate "Karlsbader Oblatsky"

Miss you Mom, hugs Simao

Mia and I are so happy to read your travelog updates.
We both agree that you're somewhat getting to be more humorous.
Jealous you haha..but guess what! We went to Lhasa, Tibet.

Hello Mum,

I arrived in Sülfeld. Dicker Kumpel gave me a warm welcome.



Then he introduced me to his other guests.



We decided to take a walk – and met this friendly cow.



Next to it there lived a lot of chicken!



Autumn is coming – behind me you see Dicker Kumpel’s famous tree.



Look,  nice red berries!



Time to relax on a sunny bench.





This was a beautiful river.





On our way home we found this big mushroom!



Well, maybe I was to big too sit on it!



Yours
Simão

Hello Mum,

We sat together and talked.



Suddenly RikeH arrived and brought something for us. What should we do?



It was Halloween – and we had to wear scary dresses.



This was me, Mum.



Really scary!



We got some chocolate!



And money – I am rich, Mum.



It was a funny evening.

Hello Mum,

Today I went to a beautiful park.



The park belongs to this house.



This gate was the entrance.



Let’s go.



I learnt a lot about the park here.



These trees are called the 12 apostles.



We were not allowed to take a photo of the Castle, because the way was closed.



There was a beautiful obelisk inside the little lake.



Dicker Kumpel showed us something interesting.



People cooled goods in this house in the Past.



On our way back we saw this beautiful graffiti, the church of Sülfeld.



And here you see the emblem of Sülfeld.




Love
Simão

Hello Mum,

It was Stoker’s 101st birthday today. RikeH had a surprise for him. Can you imagine where we sit?



Right – it is a music stand.



Stoker LOVEs shanty-music!!! So RikeH brought her songbook…



…and he was allowed to choose one of his favourite songs.



He was allowed to sit next to the accordion.



Then he received his gift. A wonderful mushroom.



We spend the rest of the evening sitting around the fire – talking of course.

Hello Mum,

We had wonderful weather – time for a walk. Our first stop was in the park of Sülfeld.



There was a nice little lake behind me.



This was the old school – look, the Christmas Tree is already there.



The mayor works here – maybe I will become mayor in the Future.



This is the home of the pastor.



The pharmacy is inside of an old beautiful building.



But the church is the nicest building in the village, I think.



And it is old – more than 800 years.



A great church!



Yours

Hello Mum,

Many greetings from Dubai. We arrived yesterday – and today we drove to the Marina – there were great skyscrapers.
 

 

 
We jumped into a big yellow rubber boat and started a trip.
 

     
All these houses were built in the last few years.
 

 

 
We drove with the speedboat around the palm of Dubai and stopped at the big hotel Atlantis. Great, wasn’t it?
 

 
Our next stop was the famous hotel Burj Al Arab.
 

 
It looked beautiful.
 

 
On the way back we saw the high houses of the Marina again.
 

 
After the boat trip we went home with the Metro. We saw the highest building of the world - the Burj Khalifa.
 


Then we were back in our hotel – we had a wonderful Suite! We loved the living room.   
 

 
For the first time in my life I had a dining-area in my hotel-room.
 

 
Good luck for us – we had something delicious to eat – strawberries with chocolate.
 

 
There was nice decoration in the room – a vase…
 

  … and a treasure chest.
 

 
Then it was time to go to sleep. This bed was too normal.
 

 
We preferred this one.

Hello Mum,

This is the Coast of Oman.



We all relaxed on the balcony and enjoyed the sunshine.
 

 


In the afternoon I went onto a small traditional boat and we went to a beautiful fjord. 
 

 
Ok, it wasn’t so small – there were many other people onboard.
 


This was the entrance to the fjord. It is called Khor Sham and with 16 km it is the longest fjord here.
 

 
I really liked it.
 

 

 
Beautiful!
 


We sat on comfortable pillows and had delicious drinks.
 

 

 
Our boat looked like this one – there were some of them in the fjord.
 

 


We arrived at the end of the fjord, the mountain behind me was more than 750 meters high. 
 

 
Then we went back – on our way we saw dolphins.
 

 
It was a nice trip!

Hello Mum,

We went to the Oasis-Town Al Ain. We visited an old fortress.



Inside it was beautiful, too.



I really liked this palm tree.



Then we drove to the place, where a sheik lived in the Past.



This was the family tree.



I liked the buildings – and we were surprised, that the grass was so green.



Later we visited a museum – you could see Bedouins in the desert there.



This was the museum from the outside - it looked like the fortress.



Next to the museum was an Oasis with date palms.



I love palms.



This was the system for watering the plants.



I would have loved to see more of the Oasis, but we had to drive back to the ship.



On the way back we drove through the desert.



They grew plants next to the street, so the sand cannot go over the streets.





Love
Simão IV
