Hi dad,

this weekend we visited Scillys brother. He build his own house in Zarrentin in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania and moved in two weeks ago. This was the possibility for me to visit an additional german federal state 
Outside we still saw some building materials.


Look, what a nice view from the house: the sunset in Zarrentin.




After sunset we had our evening meal.


Tomorrow we will walk along the lake Schaalsee.

All the very best

Hi dad,

today we explored Zarrentin. This village is situated in the west of Mecklenburg on the lake Schaalsee.




Some parts of the lake are a nature protected area.


See me in front of the old abbey. It was build in 1248.


In this church take place many concerts during the year.


We found a museum with many old agricultural equipment.

Hi dad,

the weather forecast announced sunshine and summerlike temperature for this weekend. Yes we had 22 degree but where did the sunshine go?

So we only had a walk through the Alsterpark in Hamburg. It is situated in the northeast of Hamburg along the river Alster. Many people use this park for walking, jogging, cycling and so on.

See me at one of the many bridges.


This is the small river Alster. It leads to the Alsterlake in middle of town.




There are many people with their dogs in the park. What is this big dog doing???


Okay, I think his master is shouting for him.


There are many small ponds in the park.


These are some other impression of the Alsterpark.





I am hoping for sunshine tormorrow.

Hi dad,

today the sun was shining and we walked around the Hamburg Airport. It's nearly like a park. A park with a view (to the planes) 
Can you see the runway behind me?


This is the Tarpenbek canal.


My friends and I had a little break on the bank and chatted a little bit.


This is an entrance for the employees of the airport. But it only leads to the sportsground.


I had to check the fire lane. Everything was okay


We found a small lake next to the airport. It is not for swimming, only for fishing.


And at last I saw some planes on the runway!




Our trip ended with a iced chocolate at the airport. Hmmm.....yummy


Back at home Scilly showed me our walk on a map. It is really situated in the town.

Hi dad,

my hosts showed me the lake Binnenalster in the middle of Hamburg.
See me in front of the Binnenalster with one of the white Alster boats and the famous Alster fountain.




Here you can see the Jungfernstieg with the television tower in the distance.




See me in front of the Europapassage. It is a very modern shopping centre next to the Binnenalster.


From the top of the Europapassage we had this view over the lake.




When we came home there were two surprises for us.
Number one is: we have a new guest. Her name is UrselHH.




Look, what she brought with her: a postcard from New York and a lot of sweets. Thanks you Clemy 


Surprise numer two is: we got a postcard from Finland from our friend Erol the Pirat. Thanks to Erol, his hostmum and all his new friends. Erol has a good time in Finland.

Hi dad,
today we visited Scillys brother. It was a one hour train ride.
See me sitting in the train.




In the afternoon we enjoyed two special tartes Scilly made.
This is lemon one.


This one is with fruits of the forest and curd.

Hi dad,

Scilly was very busy this week. But today she had a very big surprise for us.
We all will go to Cornwall / UK tomorrow! Yes, holidays!!!

Here you see me with one photograph of St Ives, the favourite town in Cornwall of Scilly and Richy and also the home town of my friend Clairchen.




Tomorrow morning we will start. I'm looking forward to have a great time.
All the very best

Hi dad,

early this morning we started our holidays.
At the airport we saw how they brought our airplane to the gate.


We took the 7.00 service from Hamburg to London Heathrow.


See me sitting with my TV-friends and our hand luggage waiting for the flight.




in London we went to Paddington station. See me in the old station hall with some trains behind me.


All the very best

Hi dad,
from London Paddington we took the 10.06 service in the direction of Cornwall.
It was a long journey to Cornwall. I used the time to get some information in the travel guide.


Then I had a chat with my friends.


I looked out of the window. See me enjoying the countryside.


After this long journey we arrived in Bude, our home for the next few days. First we checked our bed in our B & B "The Beach at Bude". Very comfortable.




Then we enjoyed the sun on our own terrace. Holidays are great!




In the evening there were great fireworks in and around Bude to celebrate the Queens Diamand Jubilee. Sorry, we did not take any photographs. It was to dark.

All the very best

Hi dad,
Today we explored Bude. It is a lovely small town with some great beaches.
This is Summerleaze Beach from above.


There were many surfers in the water.


Because at low tide the water is so far away from the town they build a sea pool in the rocks. We saw the sea pool at high tide.


For safety reasons I checked the times of hight tide and low tide and the safety instructions.


And I also had to visited the station of the life savers.


Then we walked along Summerleaze Beach. There were many people on the beach playing with their children and enjoying the sun.




Thats me in front of an old anchor.


Bude has an old canal. In former times the canal connected towns like Launcesteston with Bude and with the sea.
See me in front of the canal and a boat.


And then we saw the local fire station. But to my regret nobody stayed there and I was not able to speak to a local fireman.


All the very best

Hi dad,
what a day! Scilly and Richy did forget the rucksack with the TV's in it in the guesthouse. Only UrselHH could jump into Scillys pocket.
So LewisHH, Clairchen and I had day alone in our room. We lay in the bed and watched TV the hole day.




When UrselHH, Scilly and Richy came back we were really cross and didn't speak to them.


But it was not the fault of UrselHH. And she was so friendly to show us all the photographs of the day.
First they visited Boscastle. It is a small harbour town on the north coast of Cornwall.






Then they drove to Tintagle, where the world famous King Arthur lived in former times. His castle is only a ruin nowadays.






Scilly and Richy promised not to forget us anymore.
All the very best

Hi dad,
I started this day with full cooked english breakfast, it was delicious.


Today we went to Port Isaac, a lovely little fishing village.
This is the view to the harbour from above.




We found this little shop with the big ice cream. Should this be enough for me? 


See me in front of the life boat station. in 618 missions they rescued 320 people since 1967.


Look at the colorful boats in the harbour - very nice.




We found this little cave.


Then we drove to Morvenstow, also a little village on the north coast of Cornwall. Because of the stormy and rainy weather we did not want to walk through the place. So we went into a small tearoom and had a delicious afternoon tea with sandwiches, cakes and fruits. Great!


All the very best

Hi dad,
after a stormy night in Cornwall it is time to leave Bude and go to St Ives, our next stay.
We had a break at Rosemergy Barn. It is a privat garden where you can have cream teas. We decided to take a piece of chocolate cake.


I's a nice garden, isn't it?


Then we arrived St Ives and entered our holiday apartment "Lighthouse" for the next two weeks.
The bed is big enough for 4 TV's.


And we got 4 towels. One for each of us.


We had a look into the fridge. But what's that? It was nearly empty 




Look, we shopped a lot of things in the supermarket. Do you see me?


I especially liked the meat and a really big Pizza.


All the very best

Hi dad,
today we walked around Godrevy point on the coastal path.
Look, there is a really big beach at Godrevy point.




See me standing in front of Godrevy Lighthouse. It is a shame, it is not possible to climb up the lighthouse because it is situated on a small island.




Look at the amazing coastline of north Cornwall.


Look at us sitting on a style of a public footpath.




This sign shows we are on the coastal path.


In the evening we watched Germany playing against Portugal.
Look at us enjoying the match. Because we all are living in Germany we support the german team.




Yes..... Goal for Germany.....




Germany won the match. And we had a little party.

Hi dad,
today we went to Zennor. It is a small village on the north cornish coast.
There is an old water mill in Zennor which is still active. See me in front of the wheel.


That's very interesting! The Plague stone! When the Cholera came to Cornwall the people from Zennor gave vinegar into this stone and washed the money which they got from other people. So they could desinfect the money.


Nowadays is a café and a youth hostel in the old chapel. They say that they have the best chocolate cake in Britain. I wanted to try a piece. But we had no time. So I did not doublecheck it.


Zennor is famous for the pub "Tinners Arms" What a nice sign.


From Zennor we walked along the coastal path. The section between Zennor and St Ives is one of the hardest parts in UK. So we only walked a short part of it.




All the very best
