Month: June 2015

This morning we got up and drove 1.5 hrs to the airport which was in Frankfurt city. On the way we talked about what our best and worst things in Germany were. My favourite things were the castles and the worst things were traffic jams on the autobahn. Because I wanted to go fast !!! When we got to check in for our flight today the computer denied mums entry. It sucked!  Because we had to wait for ages while the lady tried to sort it out,  I was worried that we’d miss our flight because it was getting pretty close to boarding time. So mum asked the lady to give us special assistance and she did. She walked us all the way through all the security checks and we were at our gate in no time. It was great!

Bye Tom, thanks for taking us to awesome places and teaching me cool things. See you in NZ when we get back hopefully.

Now we’re flying over the ocean and mum said I had to do my blog before I could watch another movie. I’ve already watched Chappie and now I’m watching dog with a blog. Its cool. Anyway bye.

Yesterday was our last day in Germany and we spent it with alot of driving around and being in a big city. We went to a homeopath who did kinesiology (muscle testing) on mum and me. The lady said my body wasn’t doing very well with wheat and it would be best not to eat it, and mum shouldn’t have milk but cheese is ok.

After that was all over we went up this high hill and checked out Frankenstein’s castle! It had such an amazing view, you could see the tallest buildings  in Europe from there.

There was a telescope that I paid 1€ to use, but it was a rip off because it only went for 2 minutes. But here’s some photos of the castle.

 

Then we had our last dinner by the fire and we ate bratwursts and they were really tasty.
We started saying our goodbyes to Tom,  he’s a really good guy and both of us are going to miss him alot. As well as that, we don’t know when we’ll see him again. Hopefully back in NZ.

Yesterday I did a bit more work on building the couch with Tom, so now it’s finished.

Later on we went to this place where they do summer sledgeing, its on a rail track and you sit in a cart with brakes and if you push them forwards you go faster and if you let go of them you stop. It’s alot like the Luge in Rotorua and Queenstown.

The track was pretty cool with loopdeloops everywhere and it even went over a main road.

We went down a couple of jumps and around lots of sharp corners and then you’d get pulled back up the hill on a cable and you could watch other people going down the track as you came up. When you get to the top you’d jump out and go back to the station to get more rides.

I went down the track 7 times and mum and Tom went down twice. Each time I went down I’d go faster!!!!!! AND WITHOUT USING MY BRAKES. IT WAS AWESOME!!!! SOo that was yesterday.

Oh yeah I’m going to see my grandma and grandpa the day after tomorrow. I haven’t been to there house in 7 years and I’m really excited to be going there again and especially to see my cousins again and go to summer camp too.

When we got home, Tom’s friends Peter and Phena (who are arborists) came over with their climbing gear so I could go up this huge tree in our back yard.

It’s the highest tree in the neighbourhood, and man was it awesome to go up it. I hauled my own body weight up with this very clever thing that was like a vice gripper on the rope.

Bye bye see you in Boston.

THE END

When we woke up yesterday, myself and mum were a little bit tired and had no energy. Mum thinks its because our bodies are adjusting to eating so much bread and cheese. So Tom took us driving and he took us to this place up on top of a hill. We went walking through beach forest and heres what came into sight….but sadly it was all closed up. We climbed up onto the wall, and I really wanted to go in…. but of course we didnt and especially because we saw CC TV cameras inside.

It’s called Alsbacher Schloss. Next we went here.

This is the butchers shop in a little village near to us. The bratwurst sausage is my favorite.

Dose any one know what’s hanging from the top shelf?????? Write in your comments.

We’ve been trying heaps of different cheeses too and my favourite is the Austrien one.

And this is when we drove down a forest road to see the view all the way across to France…..

This is what they have at the bottom of walking tracks. Its called Kneipp therapy. Its a pool that you have to walk around in like a stork 3 times after youve finished hiking and it is good for your heart. Then you have to put your boots bavk on when your feet are still wet. And it feels great and a bit crazy.

Oh and this is what falls down from the big Poplar tree outside. Its like cotton and the other day me and Tom gathered it up and set fire to it. I hope you can see the movie. When mum uploads it.

This will be the end of my blog so snap you next time.

THE END

Lukoia Coffey over and out. Enjoying Germany.

Yesterday we had quite a large breakfast, more like a brunch so it would last the whole day until late afternoon and then we went to one of Tom’s friends places. They had a really beautiful dog as big as a wolf and it was so fun playing with her because it was like she was the bowling ball and I was the pins,  which meant I couldn’t really stand up on the front lawn because she would bowl me over. It was great fun. Later on I learnt that she didn’t used to be good with kids, but for some reason her and I got on really well. I’m really looking forward to having my own dog one of these days when we get back home to NZ.

Anyways after that we went to another of Toms friends places. This guy is called Hans and his place is so MASSIVE! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

His grandfathers lived here and had alot of old machinery that doesnt work now, so Hans got it made into cool fences. Its pretty good recycling I thought.
He has horses and cattle that are called beef cattle because they don’t produce milk for drinking, so he waits until their older and  then……that’s the end of them sadly.

We went down to the cattle and we stood there watching the little cute baby calves following their mothers around.

They’ve got alot of land on their farm which isnt that common in Germany,this was me walking on a pile of broken roof tiles. It made a cool sound that i liked.

We had a big feast later for dinner and I played chess with mum and absolutely WON!!!!?!?!? and also I won against Tom as well.

I made this deal with Hans that when I come back to Germany in my life, I must visit him. He was a really great guy.A bit like Santa Clauss.

I think I’ve wrote enough now, so see you next time because I really need to a peeeeee! !
Enjoy the photos of our day.

Oh yeah i forgot….We also went up into the forest to a mine site to see how they make charcoal and extract iron out of iron ore to make tools.

This is the burn pile they set up to make the charcoal.

This is the raw iron ore

This is measuring out equal parts of charcoal and iron ore to put in the furnace.

This is the furnace.

This is a really complicated sign about whats going on. And it was in German which makes it even harder to understand.

But we had fun and it was really interesting, and very scientific. I hope you can understand it from the photos. I thought the charcoal pile was pretty cool (actually really hot) and now I understand how charcoal’s made. It really takes a lot to make it, so dont waste it.
