Heeeeelllllooooooooooooo Mommy....

Oh, I am sooooo sorry, that I write you so late, but it was quiet busy around here...... And I got an idea of India allready.... for example at the moment there are a lot of powerbreakdowns, because of the rainy weather.... 

Unfortunatly I didn't made it right in time to go on the North India Trip with all the other TVs, I was really sad about that!
But the others told me a lot about that and showed me all the pictures....

And I met a real nice bunch of bears, but they didn't stayed very long with us in Chennai, because they had to leave to visit Threadbear in South Africa.

I wished them good luck with their project to bring love to great children on another continent and helped my host to pack them in a cosy nice box.... I hope, they'll arrive soon!

As all of the other tvs are leaving or have allready left, I got a little lonely.... I missed my mommy and my home.....

But now you can't imagine how happy I am.

My host told me, that she will now have much more time for me to show me india and Uli said, I cannot walk around in my pyjama all day, so we will go to a taylor to get some new cloths, indian style... I am so excited!

But the best thing is, that yesterday a new TV arrived, who is totally nice and friendly, his name is Yoki. I am quiet sure, we'll could become very good friends!

So today we went together with Uli to an optic shop, because he needs new sun- and normal glasses and so we helped him with the choice.

To get there, we took a yellow three-wheeler..... I was a little scared, but I tell you, that was fun!

It is quiet busy around here, cause my host is planing her vacations to Germany to meet all her family and friends....

But I have fun anyway, going shopping with her for souveniers and helping her filling up the fridge for poor Uli, who has to stay in Chennai and has to work in this heat.

But today, on sunday, we went to the very nice Park Hotel here in Chennai, which offers a very excusite sunday brunch and even has a sushi buffet.... mmmmmjammmi... that was soooooooo delicious.... I loooooove sushi!

And the desserts..... wow....

Hi Mooooooommmyyyyy....

I know, and I am soooo sorry, that you didn't hear from me couple of weeks and please don't spank my host....

Mona went home to Germany to meet all her friends and family after almost one year, so she was very busy runing from A to B to C etc., that she didn't had the time, to bring us to an internet café to make updates.....

But I will serve you some now, that you at least get some idea where I have been during that time....

First, we took a flight from Chennai to Dubai and I saw an amazing airport! From Dubai we took the next flight to Düsseldorf in Germany... It was a very long Journey, it took us 21 hours to come to Mona original home in a city called Aachen.

You also may notice, that I have a new dress. An indian taylor made it for me! First, Mona was a little angry, cause she told her, that I need a new dress, which should be NO PYJAMA!!! But the taylor made an exact copy of my old one, just with another fabric.... I don't mind, because I like pyjamas the best, anyway.....

The very next day, we went into the citycenter of Aachen to go for a haircut, shopping and eating some FASTFOOD, which Mona missed so much for a very long time.....

Aachen itself is a very old city and it is the westernmost city of Germany, located along its borders of with belgium and the netherlands. In former times a lot of german kings were crowned in here.

After my host met a lot of friends and family members all over Germany ( I tell you, I found this sooooo boring, all this talking talking talking....aaaaaahhhhh), Uli also came by from India and we went to visit Monas parents, who lives at the german north sea coast, in a little town called Wittmund.

Wittmund is just about 15 km away from the sea, so one day we visited a nice little fishing villiage, called Neuharlingersiel and spent some hours at the beach.

Normally you have to be very lucky (or just look up in a plan), if you want to see some water infront of the beach, because this area is very famous for it's so called "Wattenmeer". Every 6 hours the water "comes and goes", the tides... and when there are the ebb-tides you can walk to some of the islands infront of the coast if you have some rubber- boots, because the water is totally goes back several kilometers.

As we went there, there was the flood at it's highest point and we could watch som shrimp-fishing boats coming into the harbour.

It was a chilly and windy day, but it was fantastic.

My host told me, that this kind of rough weather is the most perfect to be at the northsea coast, because after a nice walk on the dykes, the hot chocolate tastes twice as good.

Of cause, we did not want to miss Uli's parents as well.

They live in a small town called Gemünd located in the Eifel, which is a low mountain range in western Germany. It occupies parts of southwestern North Rhine-Westphalia and northwestern Rhineland-Palatinate.

Since 2004 about 110 km² of the Eifel have been protected as the nature reserve "Eifel National Park".

I really liked the landscape there and all the typically nice houses.

Near Gemünd there is a place, hidden in the woods, which is quiet interessting.

The papers says, that this special place is famous for its power, that may come from magnatic fields in the earth.

Almost 2000 years ago, roman people came there to celebrate and worship there gods. They build temples there and a well.

Even still today sometimes ceremonies takes place there.

Supporter of "The new age" celebrates the cicles of the years, on, how they call it, this holy piece of earth, out in the nature at night, dancing around the fire....

And "New Heaths" prays to their "pre-christian" gods.

Or you can just come out here and enjoy the surounding....

But, no fun, something really weird happend, as we took some steps on the former inner part place of the basilika.
Some of us felt strange in the stomache and their hair in the neck stood up, while they got some goose skin.... uuuaaaahhh

Also not far from Gemünd, there are the Kakus Caves, where archeologies found out, people lived looooooooong ago.

Imagine, they found proofs for human colonies from the time of the last ice age!

We loved to climb thru the caves and explore the area, it was so much fun!
