Arrived at Anja's house

Hi Mommy,

I arrived at Anja's house in Germany today, where I was met by Terry the Tiger, Harold Giraffe and Sweetsy.



They all loved the nice picture postcard with the baby foxes that I brought with me



Twix, who came to Maelle from Anja's house, told me all kinds of nice things about having fun with  Anja  He did not tell me, however, that the place was full of bats! 





I felt right at home! 

Terry the Tiger showed me a picture postcard of Frankfurt and said that, with two visitors from overseas (Terry and Harold), Anja was sure to go into Frankfurt to show us the sights.



Ooooh, I can't wait!

But first we got a train trip coming up.
Tomorrow, Anja will take us on the ICE (Inter City Express) to Hannover, where she will visit a friend. I am so excited!

Hugs
Wieka

A Trip to Hannover

Hi Mommy,

today, Anja took me and her other TV guests on a train trip to Hannover.

Sweetsy and Harold Giraffe are seasoned travelers here in Germany, and they told me much about a train called ICE (Inter City Express) that looks like a rocket and travels at a speed of over 300 kilometers (190 miles) an hour.

I was all excited, so when we got to the train station



I was quite disappointed to see a boring old train




and another boring old train




"Those are not ICE trains" Sweetsy and Harold laughed. "THIS is an ICE train!"



Oh wow! 

The train is nice and comfortable inside



and you can see a lot of nice things through the window







In time, Anja unwrapped a big sandwich she had bought at Frankfurt train station, and we all had a nice snack



Soon, we arrived at Hannover train station, which looks like a palace




Right in front of the train station, there is a statue of King Ernst August of Hannover, on a horse





This is the favorite meeting point of the people of Hannover. They always meet "unter dem Schwanz" = under the tail (of the horse) 

Let's see what adventures I will have tomorrow

Hameln (Hamelin) - A lovely old City - with a Story!

Hi Mommy,

today, we got up early at Anja's friend's house and went to the train station in Hannover, where we met with a lot of nice people - all pet rat owners, like Anja is.

We all boarded a train - and Tamara, Anja's friend, took out a bag of curious snacks: marshmallow mice  Weird, but tasty...



From the train, we could see lots of wind wheels, which create electricity



Soon, we arrived at Hameln (Hamelin) train station



and all the rat owners got all excited. What the heck? 

Hameln is a beautiful old city with many lovely old timber houses, dating from 1500 A.D. or even before. The city is just celebrating 725 years of existence.
And somehow, this place is full of rats  And funny dressed men with pipes





















Look at the age of some of these houses! 









Hameln even has an old city wall with towers






Surely a very nice place. But what about all the rats? 

After a walk though the city, Anja sat us down to tell us all about it.

..... to be continued

Hameln (Hamelin) - The Story of the Pied Piper

Hi Mommy,

like I said, Anja finally sat us down to tell us the story of the Pied Piper of Hameln (Hamelin):

Source

Since that time, Hameln has been called the "Rattenfängerstadt" = literally "rat catcher city" or the city of the Pied Piper.

And references to this story are everywhere in Hameln.











Wow, this rat is bigger than Anja 





In the "Hochzeitshaus" (wedding house), a lovely old building, there is even a mechanical display that shows this story several times a day.






First the Pied Piper comes out, leading the rats away





Then - after the town people refuse to pay him - he comes and leads the children away






Only the lame child and the blind child are not quick enough, so the mountain closes before they can reach it, and they return home to tell the story (in Anja's memory, it was a blind child, not a deaf child  )







After a long day of walking and seeing all these nice things, we had a surprise coming up in the train on the way home:

A small party of young ladies entered the train, one dressed as an angel and the others dressed as devils. They walked all through the train and sold little items. This was a bachelorette party. What fun! 



Well, Mommy, that was Hameln and the story of the Pied Piper. I hope you liked it. I certainly did

Us and KISS in Concert!

Hi Mommy,

would you believe we met the Rock band KISS and played a concert with them?



Afterwards, we all went to a big party together



I will write a better update about the great weekend we had as soon as I have recovered from all the s** and dr*** and Rock N Roll 

Hugs
Wieka

KISS and us in Concert!!!

Hi Mommy,

today was a most exciting day!!!

We started out early from Anja's friend Tamara's house in Hannover, driving our own little cars



Would you believe we went to a concert by the rock band KISS



We got to meet all the guys from KISS in person



and they even allowed us to play in concert with them! 







Wow, and what a concert that was!!!







After the concert, we were stars, and we were rich, so the first thing I did was to buy a new car



and then we drove my new car to a big party with the guys of KISS



Would you believe we actually went to the Playboy Mansion? 



Wow, what a party!!!

I certainly needed some good, strong coffee after that!




Happy regards
Wieka, Superstar 

... Well, actually, Mommy, I told a fib:
Anja's friend Tamara is a big fan of the States, and of KISS, so all the pictures were taken at her house  But it sure was fun playing  superstar...
