Yesterday myself and Tom went up on the roof and we cleaned all the tiles with brooms and replaced the broken tiles with new ones. The cool thing is we found an apple tree in the gutter and we named it Lukoia and put it in Tom’s garden with some good really good soil. I hope it survives and grows well here.
I learnt from Tom how to get sugar from aphids and they tasted really good, you squish them and then you lick your fingers. That’s kind of cool. I’ve actually been learning alot from him about bugs and creatures and wood and heaps of other stuff too. He’s always telling us about the history of this place and I think he’s really happy that we’re here so he can show us his homelands.
We’re going to build a fold up couch in the next few days and it’s going to be really fun using the joinery saw and connecting all the bits together, that’s what Tom’s really good at, doing joinery.
This is a cool Japanese saw, it works really well.
There’s been alot of technical difficulties happening lately with mum and I and this blog. I just want to know if your guys and lady’s are still interested in my blog because mum’s been saying that you wont be if I dont write interesting stuff. Is that true???
Answer in the comments below. And sorry that I haven’t been replying to any comments lately. I just want to get this blog over and done with and then go out and do cool things.
Oh yeah the other day we went to these pools and I loved the hydro slide.
And also since its so liht in the morning I’ve been waking up at 5am, so this is what I get up to until the others wake up.
making card houses.
When I get back to NZ I’m going to make a floating soccer field and a floating boxing arena, and maybe an abandoned floating house with creepy stuff in it and a fold up couch made out of pellets too. No, actually we’re just about to go and start the mission of making something now.
Any way I don’t want to waste any more time so see ya later.
BON voyage
THE END
Lukoia Coffey swimming and missing my friends and traveling the world with my family over and out. I think he was happy to have a hand today.
Last night we went to the supermarket to get some food and we saw this machine that gives you money for recycling all your glass and plastic bottles. Its great! We got 16.78 Euro back for recycling our bottles, so we went and brought more sparkling mineral water.
Now its morning time and its our 3rd day here. We’re just about to go up on top of Tom’s roof to clean it with brooms and cut down a dead tree to get the hanging vines off the roof as well.
Its good to be having a home day because this place is really cool.
A photo Tom took of Mum inside the big barn. It was pretty freaky climbing around in there with all the cobwebs and hiding wild cats. Underneath is a huge scarey cellar too, with dark little rooms off to the side. Freaky!
Its an old farm with huge sheds and barns and it’s a bit overgrown, so we’re doing lots of ‘boy stuff’ like weed wacking and cutting lots of things to get it all cleaned up. Then we’re going to have a big fire one of these nights and invite some of his friends over for dinner and to play music outside.
This is an old over grown silo, we climbed right up to the top of it.
These are some of the records that have been broken since I’ve been here in Germany.
1. I’ve had the best eggs and strawberries that I’ve ever eaten here.
2. I’ve been in a car going 197 Km per hour on the autobahn highway.
3. I’ve been into my first castle ever. And we’re going to explore Frankenstein’s castle this week.
5. I’ve seen the biggest bull ever in my life here.
6. I’ve seen my first windmill ever, and been up close inside it.
7. I’ve got my first leather jacket.
This guy Udo gave it to me yesterday. It used to be his sons but it doesn’t fit him any more so he gave it to me. Its awesome and so warm and it makes crunchy leathery sounds when I walk. Its cool.
Anyway about the castle, we went to this Romen castle yesterday and I got this souvenir…..
it’s a gold coin like the ones they used to use back then.
The Romans were so smart they had under floor heating made from channels of hot water. They also had bath houses (like big hot pools) and saunas which they would of loved after a big day out in the battle field.
I learnt alot about the Roman people, and also the Germans. The local German (bush people) out smarted them in the forests around here (Oldenwald) because they knew them like the back of there hands. They would dig holes behind trees and cover them with something like a leafy trap door (hatch) Then they would ambush the romans and take off and run back to their hiding places behind trees and under their bush covered hatches and be gone, totally disappeared. I reckon that’s pretty cool and I want to build some hide away huts like that when I get back home to NZ.
In the castle they had big catapults that could fire things over 300 meters from the castle walls. They also had cross bows and all sorts of other weaponry that they made from iron and wood.
I learnt that oak wood is really hard and lasts a really long time. They were very clever people and invented so many cool things. I liked seeing how they built bridges, houses, castles and weapons and everything they did was actually really smart.
After that we went to this old medieval village outdoor museum place. And Wow!
It was like we stepped back in time. All the buildings were made so long ago, they had old windmills and water wheel houses. A power station, a phone company building and they had people there showing you how everything worked. I got to use the old phones and see how the clickers worked, that was after the days when the operator plugged in the switches. We checked out the old kitchens and saw how they made butter and cheese, and the graineries and their flour mills.
And their workshops and how they made their shoes.
They had a transport area with trains and old cars, they had animals there that they kept just like in the olden days. They had gardens growing around their houses and everything looked really real, just like it used to. The kids bedrooms had a potty under the beds and it showed the ladies looms that they made all the clothes on. There was so much to see that we couldn’t even get all the way around and lots of the houses and buildings got closed because we were the last ones to leave. But that’s OK because we had awesome fun.
Anyway I have to go now and break some more records like going 200 km with our neighbour in his flash car. Nah just joking.
By the way his car is a Volts Wagon and far out its fast! But the funny thing was it didnt even feel like we were going that fast. Nothing even changed outside because all the other cars were going around the same speed beside us. Everyone just drives super fast, not crazy and out of control just alot faster. Its awesome. I love it. I took this photo on the way to the castle and I thought that we were going fast then, but on the way home, there wasn’t as much traffic so he went even faster but mums camera battery had died so I couldn’t take another photo. Oh well.
Mum will be uploading photos for all these posts now because we haven’t had any good Internet connection for ages. That’s why all these blogs have been saved as drafts and getting published now. Sorry about that.
Today it was our first day in Germany and we went for a walk first thing in the morning and it was way different to any of the other country’s we’ve been to, it’s so quiet on the roads, and there’s so many trees and it’s really green.
But when you go on the highway – the Great European Autobahn it’s alot louder because some people are cruising at 230 km an hour and more!!!! This is the home of alot of fancy fast cars of the world, so maybe that’s why they don’t have a speed limit. So they can go really really fast! Its wow!!!
The house that we’re staying in with Tom hasn’t had any one live in it for 2 years and got built when white settlers first came to NZ. Its about 170 years old, and alot of the furniture and things inside it are still the same. There’s lots of old farm machinery and other cool stuff too. Like an old pirate gun and machetes and viking horns, aviation goggles and a native American Indian bow and arrows. The guy who owns this place has travelled the world heaps collecting all kinds of awesome things.
Anyway we had a walk to town this morning and it felt really nice to have a hoody, a vest and boots on. The boots were my favorite thing to wear, in fact I’m wearing them right now. Its a nice change to always being in jandels. Anyway, I said I like these boots to mum like 10 times in the course of 1 minute.
We walked into the closest little village about half an hour away to get some fruit. Guess what we got? Apples from New Zealand, they were probably grown in Motueka. They tasted like home so of course they tasted really good.
Then we came home and got to work washing all the windows and floor of the whole house to see if Tom would notice it when he came home. I’ll tell you if he does notice it in the next blog because mum and myself are going for another walk. See ya
SEE YA LATER!!!!! (don’t forget your toilet paper.)
This is us playing drums in the airport on the way to Germany.
Yesterday’s we were leaving Bali and when we got on the plane mum turned on her phone and we kept on getting messages on facebook non stop.
This is the new airport in Bangkok, its huge! And a really cool design, it feels like your in a giant glass wave.
It was kind of nice but the flight itself felt like it was 456789 hours long, it sucked. When we were flying over Bangkok we saw this big arena that had the shape of a ufo in the middle and every were else was bare dirt. It was crazy. Mum tried to take a picture of it but the plane was moving to fast to get a good picture.
When we got out of the airport we got in a taxi that was a bit of a rip off I thought, but mum didn’t care, because we got to where we wanted to go without having to stop at 5 different train stations and wait around.
When we got to our hotel we chowed down on some food because all we had was this the whole day…..we had magosteens, a pack of noodles some sandwiches and nothing else because we didn’t have time because we had to catch a plane and stuff. So yeah, we ate heaps when we got to the hotel restaurant.
Back to reality, after our huge meal (this is just the desert fruit, and those hairy looking things are called rambutans and they’re so yum) we went up stairs and watched TV in our beds (which is a novelty for me) until mum got so tired of it we turned it off and went to sleep.
But then……BANG BANG CRACKLE!!!!!!!!!!! BOOM! !!!!!!!!
We woke up in an instant at 4am in the morning because it sounded like a freight train had crashed into our room. We looked outside and there was non stop lightning and thunder crashing everywhere and rain started pouring in the CLOSED window. The best part was the thunder, it sounded like a cannon gun with a huge boom that shook our room. The rain made a puddle on the floor and then the power went off in the whole hotel and people were screaming outside on the stairwell as they banged their suitcases down in the dark. Probably they were going to the airport. We barely got back to sleep but we did, somehow? ? ? ? ?
And guess what people, TODAY WE’RE GOING TO GERMANY!!?!!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!!!!?!!!!!!!!!?!!!! even mum hasn’t been there before so it’s a new country for us and a new language too.
So exciting, I’m going right now to catch my flight to a new destiny. See you from Germany.
THE END
Signing off for the day. Wingnut Coffey.

Loggin outa here.
Mum has this great friend named Aaron and he wanted to take me and Jaiya out for a fun day, so this is a blog about our awesome day with him.
Firstly we all met up at Clear Cafe for a choco matrix drink and breakfast and then we took off on Aarons bike to the Bintang (shopping mall) up the road. There we had heaps of fun playing on all the arcade games. Aaron and I were mostly on this car racing game and all you did was…..Start your engines and go. Turn heaps of corners that came really fast. Change gears. Over take all the other cars. Skid around corners. Go over dirt jumps. Get to the finish line and hopefully win and get the best time!!!
It was really fun after that he brought us to a secret location and we soon found out that it was a white water rafting place and we had so much fun there.
We had a helmet and a paddle and a life jacket so when we jumped in at the second stop we wouldn’t get sucked away.
I was really surprised that when we hit sharp rocks the boat didn’t pop.
The guide with us used a paddle as a rudder and told us to paddle on the flat bits.
All we could hear in front of us was screams and the sound of people falling in the water. It was the first time I’ve ever been rafting down a river and it was sooooo cool. I loved it and I want to do more of it when I’m back in NZ one day. Maybe I’d even like to be the guide and do that for a job, as well as snowboarding and skydiving and scuba diving and animal rescue and falconry.
IT WAS SO FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah this is my other mate Dan from Australia, he’s cool. He’s been living at Dolphin House with us in Ubud. He tries to drown me in the pool a lot, and makes tsunami sized waves. We have heaps of fun.
Any way my battery is now on only 10 percent so I have to say good morning and good bye at the same time.
Yesterday me and Jaiya were sitting in one of our friends gardens and we saw five chick’s that had just fallen out of their nest on the ground.
We got up and tried to fix their nest and put them back into it and up in the tree again and to my surprise the mother bird came back and they all lived happily ever after. Mum said the mother probably wouldn’t come back to them since we had touched them and mucked around with the nest, but I was so glad when she did.
Me and Jayia have been researching heaps on snakes and these are my favorite combinations.
One day I’ll get some photos and put them on here.
I’d really like to know more about snakes and have some as pets, but I guess that means I’d have to live in another country. Maybe Australia or America…..oneday….Mum says theyre not very loyal or loving pets, but i dont mind.
This photo is of a place called Taksu, its an expensive resort and spa with lots of little spaces that they do massage and nails and hair and all other girlie stuff. And you look down thru this ravine which is hidden away, the main street is just up on top but you would never know when yourdown in there. Its cool, theres little waterfalls everywhere and vines hanging down from the big trees up above.
Anyway a couple of weeks ago we came to Bali, and since we’ve been here its been prety gnarly,
I’ve been riding around on the scoopy, with this cool helmet that makes me feel kind of goofy.
Then some days ago I got an ear ache which made me sad, but I fixed it with some medicine now I’m feeling kind of glad.
I can go swimming again woohoo!, I’m doing bombs out the window of my friends room, into the pool.
Yesterday night we were being spoon heads, sticking the spoon on our noses, thats crazy mum said.
I’m kinda bad at rhyming so I’m gonna get out of here,
Were off to get sum lunch at my favourite place called Clear.
We saw a movie last night called ‘waiting for superman’ it was pretty cool, all about the education in America. Wowwee some kids have it real tough!
We’ve been eating coconuts in the morning and having choco matrix every once in a while.
Slurp
Slurp…my favourite.
