Our holiday by the North Sea is unfortunatelly over, but my humans decided they didn’t want to go home directly but spend a few days in Potsdam. It turned out to be quite fun.
We had one last breakfast in Büsum.
… and then went directly to Potsdam. We arrived there in the late afternoon, checked in our hotel and, while our humans went out for dinner, Red and I played games in the hotel room. Red said I cheated all the time, but this is not true 😉
Day 2- walk through Potsdam
On the next day we went on a walk about town.
Day 3 – Cecilienhof
On Sunday Mommy wanted to visit a park with many interesting buildings. It turned out to be a lot of fun.
There were lots of plants for Red …
… and some art for me.
The grotto was closed for renovation, but I had fun anyway.
A view of the lake.
Stop at the brewery.
Unfortunately many of the buildings were closed for renovation, so we will have to come back some other time when they are finished.
Bye Bye Potsdam.
So, dear diary – these were my holiday adventures this year. I’ll surely have new thing to write next year.
There was a wine festival in Büsum the whole weekend so my humans decided to go there. We watched a play of street theatre
Afterwards we went to the beach. Büsum has no sand but a grass beach – this was unusual. We chilled on the grass for some time and then tried out a beach chair.
We were quite surprised that there was no sea water. Mommy told us that it was low tide and then you can walk on the sea ground so we did that. The North Sea really seems to have a special kind of beach.
Day 9 – Hallig Hooge
Mommy was ready to get on board a ship again. She said that it was because on this route the ship stays near the coast so there are no high waves. We visited a Hallig – that is a kind of very flat island that is often flooded, so people can only live on the higher spots of the islands. Mommy said it would be interesting. I could wear my captain’s cap again so it was OK for me to do this trip.
Red was fascinated by the different plants she found on the island.
On the way back to Büsum we stopped in Husum. We were quite hungry and had a huge pizza.
We also walked about the harbour.
Day 10 – St Peter Ording
Finally a sandy beach. The weather was not very sunny in the morning, but got better in the afternoon. We spend a whole day on the beach. I could play in the sand.
We had a cold drink.
We walked through the dunes.
We ate ice cream.
I went swimming….
While Red bathed in the sun.
On the way home we stopped by the Eider Sperrwerk for a cool photo shoot.
Day 11- Büsum
During the morning we chilled because our humans wanted to do some shopping. But in the afternoon we visited a corn maze. It was exciting although it was quite hot and we only found half of the clues.
In the evening we ate fish and chips.
and went on a last walk around the harbour.
Day 12- Last day
As we had to pack our things we didn’t have much time to do other things. We only spend some time in the aquarium and a little museum about fishing.
So, it’s the time of the year again, when my humans go on holiday and, as always, I go with them. This time I chose Red to go with me because, from past time experience ,I know that Wondy doesn’t really like the seaside. Her hair gets greasy and her face spotty. I hoped Red would be more resistent.
Day 1 – Journey
On the first day we had a long journey by car. We made quite a few breaks and had food. Well, it was not the best kind of food to get along the motorway. Quite fatty and unhealthy. Exactly what I like, but Red didn’t enjoy it. I think mommy didn’t like it either.
Towards the end of the journey the traffic was quite bad so it was 6 o’clock in the evening until we finally arrived in the rented flat.
Day 2 – Chilling
Mommy didn’t feel very well today, so we stayed indoors. We chilled and recovered from the journey. Red decided to read a book while I played computer games. It was quite funny and relaxing.
Day 3 – Büsum
We went on a tour of Büsum today. It was quite funny – so many thing to see. There is a harbour with a small lighthouse and many ships.
At lunch our humans ate fish in a restaurant.
We preferred to eat our fish rolls outside as the weather was quite good.
Day 4 – Phänomania
Today we visited an interesting Museum – Phänomania.
It was full of experiments – we had a lot of fun.
Day 5 – Helgoland
We went to Helgoland by ship today. Well – Mommy was sick again. She should have known better after the experience she had in Ireland last year. But she wanted to go to Helgoland – so it’s her fault. Luckily the trip was shorter than the one to the Aran Islands last year. Helgoland was quite funny…
We went on a walk around the island. The coast is interesting.
And there are many seabirds.
At the end we relaxed in the harbour and enjoyed the colourful fishermen’s houses.
Luckily the sea was very quiet on the way back to Büsum, so we all got home well without further sea sickness incidents.
Day 6 – Friedrichskoog
We went to a seal station in Friedrichskoog today. There are many baby seals that were found without parents. As soon as they are big enough they will be released into the wilderness again. But there are also some permanent residents which cannot go back into the wild for different reasons. We saw how they were fed.
I was not allowed to ride on a seal’s back so I had fun in different other ways.
Day 7 – Writing my little black book
Today our humans went shopping in town. We decided to stay at home so that I could write my diary. Hope you enjoy it.
