Hi friends, 

Back home we found a parcel from Murph[tv], my best friend. Look, a wonderful Christmas Card.



What will be in it?



Chocolate!!!!



Thanks Murph!



Later we met Snowy and Rudolph.



Kleine Fee and I recited a poem.



And got some gifts.



It was a wonderful Christmas!

Hello friends, 

Today I visited a town called Ahrensburg. Behind me you can see the ugly town hall.



Let’s go to the nicer buildings here – this was the Castle.



This stone is a memorial for the end of the serfdom.



This church belongs to the Castle.



I went into it.



I loved this angel.



And the beautiful altar.



What a beautiful little church.



Next to it there were small houses – in the Past poor people lived in it.





This was a strange monument – the people here don’t like it. I think it is funny!

Hello friends, 

I went to the Baltic Sea. The weather was much better than it looked like on the photo.



What a beautiful beach.



This was the long pier.



I liked the small dunes.



It was a nice walk!



And this was funny – this transformer unit looked like a Beach Chair.

Hello friends, 

We visited a place called Bad Oldesloe. Normally the wheel moves with water, no idea, why it stopped today.



There are some nice houses next to the river.





The house behind me is an old-people-home.



This is the nice church.



This is a marketing thing – people should buy in the shops here – and not in the web.



Wow, the river has a lot of water at the moment. Normally you can stand there, where the foam is now.



Well, no problem, I found more beautiful houses.


   




This is the market-place with the town-hall and other nice buildings.





Bad Oldesloe is a nice small town.

Hello friends, 

I went to Hamburg – this is the town hall.



What a beautiful door!



And a nice old letterbox.



Then I was inside the town hall.





I went into a kind of patio o fit – with a big fountain. Unfortunately without water, because it was too cold.





We found a great place inside of the town hall.



Then I went outside and had this great view. On the left side you see the Alsterarkaden.





A view back to the townhall.



This is a lake inside the town called Alster.







There was still ice on the water.

Hello friends,

I am back in Norway – behind me you can see my holiday house.



These were the views from the deck – they look better in reality - not that dark.





The house from the other side.



We had a lot of fun in the snow.



Here you can see how much snow we have – Stoker is on the top of the snow – and I am on the bottom.

Hello friends,

Today we explored the region and drove to Sommaroya. Our first stop was next to a frozen waterfall.



Next to it there was something amazing – a rock painting – I didn’t expect to see it here in Norway.



Look -  a big icicle.



I crossed the street and had this great view.



Normally I don’t like photos of driving in the car. But the streets in Norway are different. The people here – and we of course – just drive on the ice.



I love snowy mountains…



…and the colorful houses.



The people there have great views out of their windows.



Then we arrived in Sommaroya. The village wasn’t very exciting, but they had a nice parking lot. You see the wonderful nature from it.









It was a nice trip.
In the night we had wonderful polar lights, but Rike had to learn to make nicer photos of me and the lights.

Hello friends

The weather changed – it is better now – and the view from our deck is much nicer now.







There were beautiful trees here.



We took a trip to Ersfjordbotn. It was beautiful.



They dry fish next to the house. This was funny.



Back at home Rike went to the lake with us – the snow was high and it was a hard walk. You can see the house behind me.



It was nice next to the lake – and we saw some ice there.



Another view of the house.



The sticker on the car was funny.



I like it here.



This was our living-room.





And this is the place where we play games and enjoy the view.



In the evening we sat next to the fireplace and told us stories.



Rike tried again to take a good photo of me and the polar lights…

Hello friends,

In the morning I saw nice colors during the sunset.







Wonderful!



Later we drove to Tromsö. I were here during my cruise two years ago. I went onto a hill that time and visited a wonderful church. This time I went into the town-center with beautiful wooden houses.



I loved the view of the water and the mountains.



I was on that hill the last time.



There were many expeditions to the North Pole that started here in Tromsö. This was a monument for it.



More nice houses in the town.





And the wonderful church.





Look a wonderful view to the colorful houses…



…and the big bridge.



Can you see this ship? It is a ship of the Hurtigruten – on Monday we will go onboard of one of it.

Hello friends,

We went to another Fjord today – the way to it was beautiful.







Look, the mountains look great with the lights and shadows.





Behind the curve was the Grotfjord.



Then we were there – and the view was amazing – you can even see my Mum RikeH as a shadow.





Back home in the evening we tried to get nice photos with the polar lights.  Maybe I look like a ghost on one of it – but I love the lights!

Hello friends,

My short cruise started – and I had a nice view of Tromsö.



We will be under this bridge soon.



They had funny lights on the ship.



But then we had the Polar light over us – and no more time for photos.

Hello friends,

We were on the water – and it was stormy. But we saw the sun between the clouds.



It really looked like winter.



Somewhere there behind the hills should be Harvoysund.



But first I had another look forwards.



There was the village.



With many colorful houses…



Then we continued to the North Cape!



This was our famous place in the cabin.



Sadly the motion of the sea and the wind was too bad – we had wind force 11 and the shipping company decided to change the route. Our next stop was Hammerfest. I liked this monument.



And these arches with the Polar bears nice.



It was very windy. On the sign behind me I read, that it was the northernmost city of the world.

Hello friends,

Yesterday evening we reached Alta. It looks wintry like everywhere in northern Norway.





Today we took the bus into the city – and here you see the only interesting building in the city. It is called polar light cathedral. I can imagine that it looks wonderful during nights with polar lights reflecting in the walls.   



And I liked it inside.



Then we walked through Alta – there was an Igloo here, but it was not many left of it.



This guy produced shingles.



Maybe you can get water here during the summer time – but not at this time of the year.



I loved these funny elks!

Hello friends,

Our ship went back to Tromsö.



Look, there were icicles on the ship.



On the sign we read what to do when there will be a man over board. Luckily everybody stayed on board.



This is the route of the post ships. We only tried to use a small part – and didn’t do it, because of the weather.



We were back in Hammerfest – I watched the charging of the ship.



There was a big tugboat in the harbor.



I built a snowman.



This was the flag of the ship.



Some hours later we arrived in Öksfjord. The surrounding looked beautiful.





But again it was stormy and we had dark clouds. The weather changed every few minutes here.



This was Öksfjord.



There was a hotel here – maybe we should spend a holiday here, Mum?


 


It was a nice holiday here in Norway – unfortunately the ship wasn’t as good as we hoped.

Happy Easter,

It was Easter – the party for Bunnies and Chicken – so Kleine Fee and I visited some.



Look, a wonderful pyramid with Easter bunnies on it.



Then I met some birds in front of a nice plant.



It was amazing – we met the real Easter Bunny – and got chocolate.



We all had a great day!



But that wasn’t all. We came back into our room and found a parcel on the table.



It came from Murph, my best friend!



What will be in it?



Gifts for us – that’s great!



It looked yummy – an Egg and a bunny filled with sweets!



And we had to show this – it was gift for RikeH – she is like the hippo in the morning hours!
