Travelog for: SammyFire

Hello guys!

FraJ was busy, but now I can show you some pictures!
And first I got a few looks over Coblenz and the Rhine Valley:









...and some people have their homes and with this view everyday!

Here are two of the numerous churches in Coblenz (2 of 15, but quite the most worth seeing)





Another picture from the pedestrian zone, because, as at home there are many shopping streets 



But I' ve still hadn't seen a single fire truck!
I would love to catch up yet ... I hope we can visit a fire station next week!

Cya & Greetings!

Greetings from Lahnstein!
The city of two world cultural heritages! The Limes and the Upper Middle Rhine Valley. 

We have made ​​a walk in the sunshine on the Lahn.
First we saw the castle Lahneck:



The junction of the small town is probably the bridge, the Upper and Lower Lahnstein connects.



And the view of the city from the bridge.



And here's Tavern on the Lahn, where in 1774 Goethe went to eat.
Moreover, they make very delicious food there 





The sign:
On 18 July 1774
Goethe leave the ship on his Lahn-journey to take the midday meal with Lavatar and Baedow here.

Otherwise don't provides Lahnstein necessarily a lot of famous people, except that the former Defense minister Sharping comes from Lahnstein.

Well! On Saturday we do a bike tour and I'll make a lot of pictures and maybe I still see a fire truck, after all, the average number of fire services in the year is over 100 in Lahnstein

We'll see... so cya!

HelloOooo!

We did a bike tour to St.Goarshausen! It was sunny and warm, just great!
I am protected in my firefighters clothes from fire, but underneath it is very hot! But in comparison to FraJ I havn't a sunburn 
And I still reminded her of the sun cream! 

In the first picture you can see a small fire truck.
This is on the way to a F1. A small wildfire.
We saw it at the roadside, but Fraj said it was too dangerous to remove it on my own. 



The old church and in the background the castle "Katz" (like "Cat" and of course there's a castle "Mouse" too)



We wanted to take the ferry to the other side of the Rhine to St. Goar.





We still had a great view into the "Valley of the Loreley"





The ballad told that a mermaid, called Lorelei was sitting on a rock and attracted by her voice, the Rhine boatmen, because of their beautiful singing, don't respected the dangerous currents and rocks and shattered their fishing boats. Her long blond hair she combed with a golden comb. And last year there is a ship ran aground again. Maybe a new Lorelei?! 

Located in St. Goar is the Castle "Rheinfels" (Rhine-Rock), which was built in 1245.





From the ferry we also have a nice view again on St.Goarshausen:





On the way back we are in Boppard on the ferry to the other side





After 60 km of cycling we went home and now I'm with a friend of FraJ. He is in the volunteer fire department of Braubach and deputy fire chief there. He'll show me the equipment house and I'm looking forward to the fire trucks 

So next week I'm in my element!

Cya!

Florian Braubach welcomed SammyFire!



Back at Fraj I can tell from my visit to the Fire Department Braubach.
I could see everything and was allowed to go into the fire trucks.







But my favorite was this fire truck:



And inside I only had to wait for a mission:



But then I am too small to drive 



I hope I can still visit a lot of fire departments!
Maybe the next is in Sülfeld?
The month is almost over and I'm looking forward to my next host!

Soon we go again!
Bye

"Gude" from Coblenz again 

My last day in Rhineland-Palatinate, I've spent with a walk through Coblenz.
On the Görres place we had lunch and sunning ourselves.
The fountain in the middle of the place is very interesting because it tells the story of the city of Coblenz.



On the Baldwin Bridge, we had a beautiful view of the fortress Ehrenbreitstein. Built in 1828 by the Prussian King Frederick III. The fortress was never involved in combat operations and soon had no strategic significance. Today it's open to all and very nice.







And here the German Corner!
This is the coalesce of Moselle and Rhine and the big figure at the corner is Kaiser Wilhelm:



And the old town is also beautiful to look at:









With FraJ at home I said goodbye to all and now my trip still continues!





So I'm looking forward to an Easter party at RikeH 

Cya!

Hello Dad,
 
I arrived in Sülfeld. Dicker Kumpel gave me a warm welcome.



We started a walk through the village. Our first stop was in front of the church.



On the other side of the street is the old pharmacy.



Then we went to the old school.

   

I liked the door of the school.



The mayor lives here.



On our way back home we played on the playground.

   

We had fun on the swing.

   

   

Love
SammyFire

Hello Dad,

Today we had a surprise for Dicker Kumpel.

   

B.o.B. and Erol blindfolded Dicker Kumpel.



   

Then we installed our big sign for him!



He had a look – and was very surprised!

   

We gave him a big hug – he won two GoldenBears Awards!

   

RikeH was happy and proud too, so we started a party.

First we had a delicious burger and woodruff lemonade.

   

   

We ate almost everything.



Then we had our dessert – a yummy cake and coffee!



I had a green apple cake.



Done!



We decided to celebrate for a longer time – but we went closer to each other. Look, we had some bread and Sushi. As drinks we had a nice liqueur from Estonia, with the funny name Herbert!





It was a fantastic party!



Yours

Happy Easter!

Today the Easter bunny was here - and Dicker Kumpel told us that we can search Easter eggs.

   

I started. Maybe there will be something under our chair?

   

   

I found something – great.

   

But there should be more. I asked long hippo. He told me to look into the basket of a lovely bunny lady.

   

Then he helped me to reach the chocolate lamb in the basket.



I got the lamb.



In a wonderful bouquet of flowers I found this chocolate bug.



Look –I was very successful!



We all had a lovely day!



Yours

Hello Dad,

It was still Easter – and we went to visit the grandma of Dicker Kumpel. He told us that we will meet The Easter bunny there. And we were lucky. Look – I talked to the Easter bunny!



Then I met some of the other bunnies hanging around there.



There were two friendly hens.



Later we met a friendly bunny. He read something out of the nice Easter book that Noisy sent to us.





Then something funny happened. Dicker Kumpel’s grandma has a TV named Tobbi. He was lost for two times – the second time he was lost in the Netherlands. But now he came back.

He told us that he went to China – that must me the truth, because he came from China in his envelope. But look how big he is now. Maybe I will become that big someday after being in China, too?



After talking to the big Tobbi I decided to talk to smaller guys.



Dad, it was a nice second day of Easter here – we ate a lot of chocolate – it was yummy!

Hello Dad,

We made a nice excursion today. We visited the Wallanlagen – a park in the middle of Hamburg. Here you see a beautiful building we saw from the garden.



Normally here is a little river – but there was no water today.



Can you see me on this little monument?



This was the Asian part of the garden.



Then I found some colorful tulips.





On our way back home we stopped in Ahrensburg where I saw this beautiful castle.



Yours
SammyFire

Hello Dad, 

Look, what happened today. Murph arrived – and brought a treasure map with him.



We all had a closer look. It was the treasure of the Zuckerhut. Zuckerhut is the name of our street. The treasure should be here.



The map showed that the way starts outside next to a blue car – I found it.



We climbed onto a high place to find the next point.



This must be the right direction!



We met two funny guys and asked them for the way.





They showed us the right direction. We should meet their friends – two bugs - there.

We climbed up the tree where the bugs live.





This was not the right place – but we were near to it.



Then we saw the treasure chest. We had to work together – but then we reached it.







We talked about opening it now – but then we took it onto the grass.



We opened the chest ...



...it was full of money, gold and more!

We were so excited!





We went back onto our chair and had fun with our treasure.





Yours
SammyFire

Hello Dad, 

We went to Bad Oldesloe today. It is a small city near to Sülfeld. We saw some water – this was a river flowing around a small island.



I met some friendly ducks.





I loved the view of this little river.



This is the town hall.



And another important building.



Look – a water wheel.



Then we stopped next to the church.



Next to another river we stopped for a photo with all of us.



More old buildings...





Many greetings
SammyFire

Hello Dad, 

It was time to leave Sülfeld and Dicker Kumpel. But before I went away I wanted to have some more photos in the garden. I loved this tree.



And I found this yellow flower.



The next color was red...



This is a view of the garden where we found the treasure last weekend.



I found other beautiful flowers! The Springtime is great.





Then it was time to say goodbye to Dicker Kumpel. We had so much fun together.



Then I got a hug by all TVs here – well – not so many....



Tomorrow I will meet ScillyHH – my next host.

Love
SammyFire

Hi daddy,

I arrived in Hamburg. My new hosts are LewisHH and Clairchen. They want to show me Hamburg and some other places (I think, they have some surprises for me :-)

Today after Scillys work we had a walk through the city center. See me in the Hanse-Viertel-Passage. It is a shopping passage in the middle of town.




Cool Clothes!


This decoration is for mothers day next sunday. They offer special cakes.


See me in front of a town canal with a restaurant pontoon. There are many town canals in Hamburg.


This is another town canal with a lock.


This is the same town canal. In the background you can see the Alsterarkaden. It is a narrow shopping lane. Do you see the famous Alster swans?


Look, this is the town hall of Hamburg. An imposant building, isn't it?


Above my head is the window of the mayors office.


On the way to the town hall courtyard we met this friendly lion.


And then I found this fire lane.  A perfect place for a short break.






That's me in the courtyard.


There is an interesting well in the middle.


I'm looking forward having a good time in Hamburg
All the very best

Hi dad,

today we went on a day trip to Mallorca  What a great idea!
At 8.25 a.m. we landed on the isle of Mallorca.
When we left the airport we saw so many busses collecting all the tourists for the hotels.




Then we had a look at the timetable for our bus to Palma. See me in front of the bus plan.


From Palma we went by an old train to Söller. That's me at the train station in Palma.


See me in front of this beautiful old train.




From outside I had a first look into the train.


Look at me enjoying a nice trip.




That's a view of the middle of the island.




Then we arrived in Söller.


There is a really beautiful small harbour with blue water and some nice yachts.












Before leaving Söller we had a cup of coffee in a small café.


In Palma we found a small beach to enjoy the sun. What a beautiful place.




I took a sunbath.


Before going back to the airport we had a last glass of Gin & Tonic at the beach.


What a wonderful day!
All the very best
