Today snow in Jelenia Gora !  It s really spring? ;-)

Of course we went outside and we were playing, but it was too cold.

Actually Anna wanted to show us Chojnik castle today, but this weather just didn t let us go to see Chojnik. This castle is on the mountain and it isn t easy road. Maybe next time...

Now we are eating some cookies witch we made before. Very delicious :-)

I saw very nice building today :-) The palace in Cieplice (previously: Bad Warmbrunn) was erected between 1784 and 1788 as a residence of the Schaffgotsch family. Now the palace in Cieplice is in very good condition. Some of the original, Classicist elements (floor, paneling, plafond) have survived to this day in some of the chambers on the first floor. The palace right now  is used as an Off-campus Educational Unit. The inside of the palace may be visited by prior arrangement with the University authorities, but it is not generally open to tourists. One can also attend an academic event or an exhibition mounted in the palace.
I like it very much.

And look what we saw after visiting palace in Cieplice. What a funny pictures :-0

Today we also have to say " Bye" to Shorn. He s going to visit another place. Hope we will meet someday again :-) We ate together very delicious dessert and we went to the Post Office. 
Have a wonderful time in Portugal Shorn ! We will miss you !

Today very sunny here. We are spending very nice weekend.

I saw very beautiful house.
Gerhart Hauptmann lived here in this house . He was a winner of the of the Nobel Prize for Literature on 1912 and spent a great amount of his creative life here.
I like this big house. Anna told me that it is museum right now.

Today we have  visited Szklarska Poreba. This town is located very near to Karkonosze mountains, so we were able to see very beautiful views. There s snow yet in mountains :-)
We saw also chairlift  :-)
It was very funny, because in Jelenia Gora we haven t snow and we can see lot s of flowers. But in Szklarska Poreba there s really lot s of snow.

Here are my pictures.

Yesterday we saw canoeing championships.
It wasn t easy to take pictures because they were very fast, but we have some nice pictures.

What a nice landscapes :-)  I just love climbing :-)

We have new friend with us :-) It s very nice, little moose - Yuma from  Switzerland.
We saw beautiful postcard with butterfly.

Today we finally were able to visit Chojnik castle :-)

It is a castle located on the hill above the town of Jelenia Gora. Today the semi-ruined stronghold is a major tourist attraction .

The castle dates back to the thirteenth cen­tury.
On August 1675 the castle was struck by lighting and the ensuingfire consumed building. Castle was never rebuild. The irony of this is that Chojnik, owing ti its location, was the only castle in Lower Silesia never to be taken.....:-)

That was really great to visit this place. Amazing, but a little bit difficult road  through the forrest.
Look at our pictures :-)

Sorry I didn t write anything last days. Anna was VERY BUSY and she was unable to take pictures.

Here are some our pictures from last week. We were at school and we had so much fun :-) We were playing with lego. Look at that :-)

Last days we said goodbye to Jump. He is comming back home. I really hope we will meet someday.

Some flowers :-))
Tomorrow will be more pictures :-)

Hi :-)
Today we enjoyed school picnic with Anna. It was really great and lot s of fun. I liked colourful balloons :-)  We saw also some karate ;-0 I liked it very much, but I think it s not the best sport for me. Anyway...we have very nice day :-)

Today we visited Harrachov ( Czech Republic ).
I was very happy to see this place. It s very  near the border to Poland (border checkpoint Harrachov – Jakuszyce) and  it is one of the most visited ski resorts in the Czech Republic.
Harrachov is known because of an important venue of international ski jumping.
The well known ski jumping area is located directly above Harrachov, on Certova Hora („Devil's Mou­ntain“) . Ski jumping competitions of the World championship in ski jumping take place on the biggest one. I saw it and it s really, really beautiful  :-)
I was so happy- so I asked Anna to take me so many pictures there :-) I can t say witch one is the best, so I put here all of them ;-)

Today I have a picture with  princess :-) I think she is really beautiful  :-)

And look how many roses in Anna s garden !

Next week I will go to my next host in Germany :-) I m so happy :-)

Hello,

today I arrived save at Elisabeth's place. Another Toyvoyager was already there, Rocky the Raccoon. After the long journey I really had to have something to eat.



And maybe some more



Now we are really full and sleepy.

Best wishes

Gigi

Hello,

today Rocky and I played hide and seek in the garden. We had so much fun.



By accident we met this huge eagle and he was kind enough to give us a ride.





All the best

Gigi
