Bruchsal, Germany - 20th May 2011
By: fam-united
Hi Mum,
today many other tvs arrived at Petra's home. They came from another town in Germany and we all were very happy to welcome them at our place. Their first wish was to take a bath, so we all ran to the bathroom.
Here you see our new guests from left to right:
Louis the rat, Nippy, Percy, Bree and Polki
I didn't want to get too close to the water, so I hid myself between the others.

Hannover, Germany - 11th June 2011
By: fam-united
Hi Mum,
something exciting happened yesterday. We sat there and waited for our host to come home from school. When she arrived, she took us and --- everything got dark. Then we felt, that she carried us outside the house into the car. For a long time it was only dark. In the early early morning - it might have been short after midnight - we were carried away again. Still we didn't know, what had happened.
We were so tired from all this waggling in the car, that we fell asleep - we even didn't know, where we were.
But this morning we awoke in this bed - fresh and fit for the day. Our host told us, that we were on the way to Denmark and that we slept at a motel in Hannover. The bed was a bit hard, but nevertheless much better than a night on a resting place along the autobahn.
Here you see us all still sleeping and then playing after we woke up. We already had a lot of fun.
Our room was right above the entrance - a place, where everyone had been able to look on the bed from the outside and a place, where you could smell the smoke of all cigaretts the other guests smoked in front of the entrance
Bye, BarryO

Hanstholm, Denmark - 13th June 2011
By: fam-united
Today we had rainy weather, so we only went outside to sit in the car and drive to go shopping at Aldi in Hanstholm.
We bought some pepper sauce there for dinner. Ralf cooked some red cabbage, meatballs and (not selfmade) spaetzle.

Thyborøn, Denmark - 14th June 2011
By: fam-united
Hi Mum,
after a rainy day inside, it seems to be fine today. We sat in the car for about one hour to drive to Thyborøn. There is a nice house decorated with millions of shells and snail shells. It is called sneglehuset in Danish - I love this word.
At next we drove to the coast centre exploratorium called Kystcentret. We had a lot of fun there and learnt many new things about the element water.
Here I am in a bare foot way starting in a "galley". I'm sorry for the quality of the photo, but it was dark inside.
Here they show how a twister builts up.
I also saw many furniture and other ship related things, which they found after a ship sunk many many years ago.
Here some more information: Since 1868 the Alexander Nevsky has been lying at the bottom of the sea. A couple of Russian diving vessels arrived and removed the cannons, a contractor bought the sea bed side and salvaged metals - first a lot of dynamite and the copper bolts, copper pipes and gunpowder boxes appeared in the wreck. This continued far into the 20th century. The metal was valuable.
The majority of the 724 men on board were brought safely to landin the frigate's own longboat, which could hold 25 - 30 men at a time.It's what you can read on the signs next to the ring.
Here I show you a view to the activity part - of course you can't see it good enough to imagine, how it looked like.
Then we drove to the aquarium of Thyborøn. I tried to tough a Starfish, crab or stroke a Plaice or shark, but I had no luck. So here you just can see me in front of one of the many bassins. At least I stayed safe.
For a part of our way home we took the ferry from Thyborøn. I think, that with this experience I fulfilled one mission: Travel on water, go to the beach.
