Look who was waiting for me upon my arrival in Holzgerlingen. There have been such nice and interesting hosts at every stop.

My new friends were distressed to see that my travel accommodations had been searched by the customs officials. When I got to the customs place I first thought I had reached my next destination, but I wondered about the noise and no door bell ringing. I remembered what mother said… say hello and behave well, say thank you and don’t be cheeky. They had me in and out of my box so quickly I wondered what was going on. I heard my first German words. They said: Verrückte Leute, verschicken Wolle mit Essstäbchen und einem Hasen.  It's a very interesting phenomenon that I have been able to understand the language in the new places as soon as I arrive. I will have to write a paper on Travel Bunny language acquisition phenomenon when I finish my journey. For those reading not so endowed with immediate language acquisition here is a translation: Crazy people sending yarn with chopsticks and knitted rabbits.

Look there are rabbits on the chopsticks that Mimimi sent to my new hostess Jofraima.

My new friends, whose names are Charlotte, Mr. Ratty and Bruno, soon had the lid open and were soon helping me to disembark.

Mrs. Ratty was quick to welcome me too.

Soon after I met Nena, the so called NEugierige NAse- nosy nose.

That evening we went to a sport class. It was so exhausting! We did exercises with a rubber band. Soon after this photo all the mats were filled and we had a workout for back and body with rubber bands and Brasils.

Here I am right after the workout.

After that I was so tired and very happy that I could snuggle in the basket with my new friends. 

This morning we had a nice breakfast, but not with the traditional Brezels which you know as a pretzel.

After that my hostess provided me with a cell phone so that I could talk to Mom and report about my travels. You know that always calms mothers when they know all is fine with their kids. I also took the opportunity to post here so all of you reading could keep up as well.
