𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗣𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗸𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺! 🎃

The kids and I were lucky enough to enjoy the evening picking Pumpkins (under a full moon), toasting marshmallows over a fire, seeing/feeding adorable farm animals and going feral in the play areas! My children were literally so excited, you would've thought they'd never left the house before so could be seen running all over!

We were kindly invited by @randfarmpark as part of their new evening event where families and people on date night alike could go and enjoy a friendly atmosphere (plus with it being in a field, plenty of space for people) I thought the whole aesthetic was awesome - from the Marshmallows to the licensed open bar to the animals. The booking system was easy - with a paying ticket you get tokens to hand in at each station - which also there was lots of areas to wash your hands.

Available:

• Visit the Pumpkin Patch

• Free parking

• ‘Gourd’-geous photo ops

• Toasting Marshmallows

• Actor Entertainment

• Live Music

• Access to food and drink in the pumpkin patch

• Meet the animals on the farm

• Meet the small animals

The staff were incredibly friendly and when my friends car battery died, someone came out to help (about 10pm) to help jump start the car.

They have Day time and Toddler Pumpkin Picking too, plus every paying child receives a free standard sized Pumpkin! You can buy tickets online

In regards to the Farm itself - I was impressed with the many updates since our last visit and I think the interactive tables (supervised) with the smaller animals a lovely idea.

In the day time you can take a tractor ride, meet the animals on the farm, bottle feed a calf, and also play in the indoor and outdoor play areas!

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺

In 1996 17th February, the Farm Park opened their doors for the first time - welcoming 110 visitors, although many were family and friends!

There have been many changes over the years, from an original pig farm to the Family Attraction of today but the ethos remains the same – “to offer a fun, educational but good value for money day out for visitor of all ages & abilities.”

3rd September 2017 supervised contact part 1 of 2. Daddy took Ayrton & Gabrielle to Rand Farm Park near Wragby. It wasn't their first time, but they still enjoyed it very much, specially since the addition of a giant air cushion to jump on, climbing frames, etc. Ayrton takes a brave step on a ride in the next part too. 😍😍😍

Cooking class und elephant sanctuary in Chiang Mai

📍THAILAND

Wieder zurück in Chiang Mai bestellten wir uns ein Grab Taxi zu unserem ersten Air BnB. Die Unterkunft sah einem Riad in Marokko recht ähnlich. In der Mitte ein Innenhof mit großem Tisch und Sitzmöglichkeiten und darum die großzügigen Zimmer mit einer großen Küche angeordnet. Die Unterkunft erwies sich als sehr gemütlicher Ort, perfekt für unsere Gruppe, die wir am Abend mit einem Roddaeng (Pick-up Taxi in Chiang Mai) am Flughafen abholten.

Am nächsten Morgen wurden wir bereits um 8:30 Uhr zur Thai Cooking Class abgeholt. Erster Stopp war ein Markt auf dem uns die Produkte, die zum Kochen in Thailand verwendet werden, vorgestellt wurden. Besonders interessant war die Vielfalt an Chilis. Im Anschluss ging es zur Smile organic Farm, der Kochschule.

Die Smile Organic Farm baut das verwendete Gemüse und die Kräuter teilweise selbst an. Wir lernten hier etwa über sehr unterschiedliche Arten von Basilikum, deren Aroma die feinen Nuancen der unterschiedlichen Currys und Suppen ausmachen.

Tom, unsere motivierte und sehr energische Lehrerin begleitete uns als Gruppe bei der Zubereitung eines individuell zusammengestellten Menüs aus Frühlingsrollen, einem Pfannengericht, einem Curry und einer Suppe.

Besonders überzeugten uns die vegetarische Frühlingsrolle, das Chicken Basil, die Zubereitung eigener Currypasten und das würzige Massaman Curry mit Kartoffeln.

Tom hatte allerhand damit zu tun, uns Neulinge beim Umgang mit dem Wok zu unterstützen, ihr Perfektionismus führte uns am Ende aber tatsächlich zu einem wahren Gaumenschmaus. Gesättigt fuhren wir zurück in die Stadt und nutzten den Rest des Tages zum Sightseeing auf dem berühmten Tempelberg und dem Night Bazaar.

Natürlich dürfen in Chiang Mai die Elefanten nicht fehlen. Darauf geachtet, dass die Elefanten gut behandelt werden, buchten wir einen Tag später einen Besuch im Elephant Retirement Park.

Alle Elefanten, die dort wohnen dürfen, wurden den vorherigen „Besitzern“ als Circus-, Nutz- und Arbeitstiere abgekauft. Im Retirement Park werden sie dann aufgepäppelt.

Die Tiere werden routiniert und regelmäßig von einer Tierärztin aus Brasilien gesundheitlich durchgecheckt. Außerdem untersucht sie die Elefanten nach jedem Touristenbesuch auf Hautverletzungen, da diese gerade beim Baden wohl sehr anfällig für kleine Schnittwunden sind.

Da wir sehr lange im Stau standen, haben wir die Vorstellung der Elefanten leider verpasst und nach einem kleinen Mittagssnack, durften wir die Elefanten mit Zuckerrohr und Bananen füttern. Im Anschluss ging es in den sehr matschigen Tümpel um die Elefanten mit Schlamm einzureiben. Den Mädels war dieser allerdings nicht ganz geheuer, weshalb wir das Spektakel lieber vom Rand betrachteten. Die Jungs als auch der jüngste Elefant haben sich prächtig amüsiert und sahen am Ende aus wie die Schweine.🐷😅

Im Wasserbecken wurde der Schlamm dann mit Bürsten wieder abgewaschen. Elefanten wären natürlich keine Elefanten, wenn sie sich im Anschluss nicht direkt wieder im Sand suhlen würden.

Die Tierärztin gab uns am Ende noch ein paar Infos über die Stiftung und generell über die asiatischen Elefanten. Diese können nämlich bis zu 80 Jahre alt werden. Die meisten schaffen es dennoch nicht, da sie sich schnell Infektionen einfangen und diese meist zu spät erkannt werden. Außerdem essen die Tiere bis zu 300kg am Tag und gerade die Medikamente und das Futter sind sehr teuer, sodass sie sehr auf Spenden angewiesen sind. Ein Elefant kostet den Park 9000 Baht am Tag (245€).

randy n clyde 4 the ask meme... switchin things up a bit :)

i already did clyde, so i'll just do randy!

Why I like them

in earlier seasons - honestly even up until the most recent few and all the tegridy farms stuff - i found him absolutely hilarious. he's a perfect poster boy for one of south park's funniest and most persistent jokes: the idea that kids are often smarter and more reasonable than their parents

Why I don’t

i didn't hate it as much as a lot of people, but nonetheless, the tegridy farms bit got old rather fast. it felt like... this character who had previously been so funny, when used in contrast with the kids, lost a lot of appeal when stood on his own. it reduced him to just, like, weed, sexual and toilet humour, and divorce, with less of the cleverness and genuine immature playful spirit that had previously made his character so much fun.

Favorite episode (scene if movie)

you're getting old, medicinal fried chicken and a nightmare on face time

Favorite season/movie

i REALLY liked him in the black friday trilogy (the dramatic scar that was just a fake stick-on wound might be one of my favorite jokes in the show)

Favorite line

don't have one. i think the jokes that are the best with him are largely situational

Favorite outfit

i actually like his tegridy farms outfit better than his blue shirt... but it's GOTTA be his witch costume.

OTP

randy x years and years of therapy and family counselling

Brotp

WITH THE OTHER DADS OMG I GENUINELY CARE ABOUT THEM...

Head Canon

man i dunno... when he grows old he will start some kind of weird collection. stamps or something. just seems like a bit of a randy thing. he always needs something to get weird over

Unpopular opinion

i like him

A wish

go back to being a background character please bestie <3

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen

i would be sad if he died ):

5 words to best describe them

dad i'd like to... study

My nickname for them

rands <3 randall <3 (just kidding. he's randy)

Day 131 – Wine tasting

J woke up early this morning to carb up and line her stomach before today’s wine tasting. We met Mansur at around 9am and headed off to our first winery, Waterford Estate, in Stellenbosch. This was a beautiful property with a lovely courtyard with plenty of tables and chairs. We sat in the sun and tasted 8 different wines. Two of the reds and the dessert wine were paired with chocolates. Bizarrely, J also got a salt tasting of three different types of salt. Mud salt, pearl salt and Hawaiian volcano salt. Her favourite was the mud salt, which tastes amazing on popcorn. The two stars of the wine tasting were the old vine Chenin Blanc and the Chardonnay dessert wine. J also loved the rose and geranium chocolate, which had a floral taste. We also got a cellar tour. The cellar is for the most part housed in a former cathedral. We also saw the bottling area and the winemaker, who was tasting some of the barrel wines. Interestingly, this winery had steel tanks, French oak barrels ranging from 200 to 3,000 litres, concrete tanks and four ceramic tanks. They use different storage vessels to age different types of wine. As the winery owner’s son had recently gotten married on the property, one of the concrete tanks had been decorated with a lovely design. This was our favourite winery of the day.

The next stop was Babylonstoren in Franschhoek. J was looking forward to this winery the most. Pre-COVID it was impossible to get in here. Even on a weekday post COVID Mansur struggled to find a parking spot. This place is known for its kitchen. They do farm-to-table cooking. Disappointingly, the winery was very corporate and we didn’t love the ambience. They even charged us a 10 rand entrance fee per person. We did get to walk by some of the vines, however, and J tried a Viognier grape for the first time. We ended up buying a bottle of Viognier so J could try it, and a platter of food to keep us going. The food was the star here. The biltong and droëwors beef sausage were excellent. The beef sausage was spiced with some combination of mace and clove and tasted almost like a Moroccan merguez sausage. There was also a delicious duck liver paté. The visual highlight, however, was the fruits and vegetables. There were orange, yellow and purple carrots, golden beetroot, green oranges and a persimmon. We highly recommend this platter.

The next stop was Anthonij Rupert. Because we were not part of a large tour group, we bypassed the more corporate tasting room and went to the manor house where Graham Beck, a famous winemaker, used to live. The manor house was built in 1833. They have kept a lot of the original décor but have given it a few modern touches. It looks like it should be a guest house, but it is only used for tasting. The floors creak and J asked if the manor house was haunted. The staff said they think it is, by, you guessed it, a lady in a white dress, much like all other alleged hauntings. We tasted three sparkling wines, one Pinotage and three heritage wines. J’s favourite was the blanc de blancs sparkling wine, which is made in a French style (‘Méthode Cap Classique’), but cannot be called champagne as it is not made in the Champagne region of France. There was only one other couple there. They were toasted and having a grand time. They were there before we got there and were still there when we left.

Our final stop was Delaire Graff Estate. According to Mansur, it is owned by the largest diamond trader in South Africa, a very wealthy guy who lives in London. There is even a diamond shop on premises. Mansur told us it costs at least $1,000 a night to stay at one of the villas at the winery. It too looked a little corporate, but had a nice outdoor terrace overlooking the mountains. J found the wine guy here the most impressive of all and she thought this winery had the best red wine, a blend called Botmaskop. The wine guy, James, trained as a sommelier but now wants to work on a yacht in the Mediterranean once COVID is over. We tried three different Chardonnays at different price points. S was very proud that the one he liked the most was the most expensive and is sourced from a single vineyard. J found it too sweet. We also tried some other whites and reds and J requested a meat and cheese platter to go. Bemused, the wine guy told us the chef had said this was fine, but it would not be as ‘aesthetically pleasing’. The platter arrived in little takeaway containers and true to the chef’s word, was not aesthetically pleasing.

We went back to the hotel. Mansur foolishly thought we were done for the evening, but S insisted on heading down to aperitivo hour(s) with our food. The hotel kindly plated it and made it look aesthetically pleasing. S was disappointed as the hotel didn’t have the usual chicken liver paté canapé platter ready for us as they didn’t think we’d make it to aperitivo hour(s). We ended up having to share one platter with Room 3, who surprisingly dropped by and sat next to us.

Room 3 is a funny couple. They are Gareth (no relation to the Zimbabwean Gareth who we hung out with over the weekend) and Kirsten. He is Welsh and she is South African. They live in London and escaped here in early December shortly after we left the UK. They only intended to stay for a month to visit Kirsten’s father, but ended up working and travelling in South Africa instead of going back to the UK. They, like us, are planning to head back in May/June. We traded notes on how to try to avoid quarantine in the UK. We also learned that he previously lived in Bethnal Green, so we spent a lot of time talking about the Krays (famous East London gangsters), their old haunts and the various movies about them (sadly S has watched all of them multiple times). Gareth informed us that the Blind Beggar, the pub where they shot Georgie Cornell, is now a tourist attraction and is worth a visit when we return to London.

J noticed that S and Gareth were twinning, in a business casual button-down shirt with rolled up sleeves, khaki shorts and brown shoes. However, S has a few decades on Gareth. Due to a glitch with our hotel room key, we lost track of them after aperitivo hour(s), but they were good fun.

Bonjour Canada

Wir sind mittlerweile in der Provinz Ontario angekommen und haben nach einer kurzen Stippvisite Torontos unsere erste Helferstelle angetreten, ca. 2 Stunden im Landesinneren in dem Dörfchen „Honeywood“. Hier wollen wir nun ca. 2 Wochen auf einer kleinen Farm und Tierpension aushelfen und freuen uns, nach dem vielen Fahren etwas zu verschnaufen und die ersten Eindrücke sacken zu lassen. Eigentlich hatten wir uns mittlerweile wirklich gut an die Fahrroutine gewöhnt. Jeden Mittag ging es zu einem neuen Ort, mit viel Glück schlief Johna sogar ein, ansonsten versuchten wir nicht länger als 3-4 Stunden zu fahren und Sarah sorgte für Entertainment oder wir hörten Tö-röööö (Benjamin Blümchen), 3x3=9e (Pipi Langstrumpf) oder Feuerwehrmann Sam. Mittlerweile können wir bereits fast jede Geschichte mitsprechen… So ging es zuerst von Nova Scotia und dem „Bay of Fundy“ gen Küste in den Norden, wo wir zwei Tage mit Wandern, Paddeln und am Strand buddeln im Kouchigbouguac Nationalpark verbrachten. Danach ging es Richtung „Grand Falls“, ein kleines Örtchen an einer großen Schlucht mit Wasserfällen. Dort lernten wir auch Julia, Stefan und Max kennen, die sich für 4 Wochen einen modernen 9 Meter langen Camper ausgeliehen hatten (der übrigens im Durschnitt 30Liter Benzin auf 100Km verbrauchte). Wir verbrachten einen verregneten Tag zusammen und Johna war sehr froh, endlich mal wieder mit einem Spielkameraden Deutsch reden zu können. Danach sind wir in die Provinz Quebec und mit der Fähre über den Sankt-Lorenz-Strom nach Tadousac gefahren. Eigentlich wollten wir dort Dünen besteigen und Wale beobachten, aber bei 10C und Regen, fiel das leider ins Wasser, sodass wir uns nach einem sehr kurzen Besuch wieder gen Quebec Stadt aufmachten.

Quebec Stadt fanden wir super. Ein bezaubernder, immer noch von alten Stadtmauern umgebener historischer Kern, aber auch die neuen Stadteile haben viel Flair mit schnuckligen Cafés, tollen Käseläden und köstlichen Schoki-Geschäften. Zudem ist schlagartig alles auf Französisch und auf die Frage, ob auch Englisch gesprochen wird, kommt in der Regel die Antwort „only a little bit“. Insgesamt kam uns die gesamte französisch sprachige Provinz Quebec auch „europäischer“ vor als Nova Scotia oder New Brunswick. Das Landschaftsbild ist nicht mehr so sehr von Wäldern und Seen bestimmt, sondern eher von landwirtschaftlich genutzten Flächen, so wie bei uns.

Trotzdem versetzt und die gesamte Camping/Auto Kultur hier immer wieder ins Staunen. Die großen Highways sind zwar angenehm leer, aber dafür auch ganz schöne Huckel-Pisten, die stetig Bergauf- und ab gehen.  Geteilt wird sich die Straße in der Regel mit riesigen PickUp-Trucks, die hier mindestens so oft gefahren werden, wie bei uns alle VWs und Opel zusammen. Gelegentlich rauscht dann noch ein gigantischer LKW-Truck an einem vorbei oder eben ein Dodge-Ram mit 8 Meter langem Wohnwagen Anhänger. Auf den Campingplätzen hier, hat man einen riesigen Stellplatz mit einer Sitzgelegenheit und einer Feuerschale. Außerdem kann man verschiedenen Service dazu buchen und die meisten kanadischen Camper sind direkt nach ihrer Ankunft an Wasser, Strom und Abwasser angeschlossen, während wir auf unseren Stellplätzen mit nichts zufrieden sind, aber allein dafür zwischen 20-45 $ pro Nacht zahlen. Zunehmend oft standen wir zuletzt deswegen einfach am Rande irgendeines Parks. Wir sind ja flexibel mit unserem Schneckenhaus und dadurch, dass man von außen noch nicht mal unser runter geklapptes Bett sieht, sind wir einfach unter dem Radar.

Top 5 Things To Do In Lake Zurich, IL

Some of the most beautiful places in Illinois are tucked away in the northwest corner of the state. The village of Lake Zurich is a small town with big heart and home to many natural attractions. Visit one or all of these 5 places and you'll experience what makes Lake Zurich a unique place to visit!

1. Lake Arlington

If you’re in the mood for a day of fun in the great outdoors, Lake Arlington has you covered. There are plenty of places to hike and bike around this beautiful lake, but if you want something a little more adventurous and adrenaline-inducing, try swimming or canoeing/kayaking.

If fishing is more your thing, Lake Arlington offers some great fishing spots. For those who prefer to just relax on the water while enjoying a nice day outdoors, there are boating rentals available at Lake Arlington as well as boat tours around its lovely shores (and even hot dog stands!).

2. Palatine

Palatine is a village in Cook County, Illinois, United States. The population was 47,841 at the 2010 census. It is one of many suburbs of Chicago. The village has an area of 9 square miles (23 km2). You can go to Downtown Palatine for some great shopping and dining options. It's also home to the Fox River which goes through downtown Palatine and on into Lake Michigan!

There are plenty of things to do in Palatine for families with kids! We loved visiting the parks along the river or going biking on one of their trails!

3. Buffalo grove

Buffalo Grove is a great place to visit for its many attractions, restaurants and shops. The area has a lot of history with many historical sites.

The village is named after the American bison that once roamed this part of northern Illinois. The village was settled by John Kinzie, who was part owner of Chicago's Fort Dearborn and one of the first traders at Fort Dearborn's trading post. Kinzie left Chicago after being implicated in the 1812 massacre at Fort Dearborn; he moved to Lake Zurich where he bought land grants from John Kelso in 1831. He planned on establishing a farm on his property but never did so because he joined the military during another conflict between Native Americans and United States settlers known as Black Hawk War (1832). Afterward, he returned home only long enough to pack up all his belongings before leaving again due to threats against him by local Native Americans who retaliated against their loss during Black Hawk War by attacking white settlers such as those found within Lake Zurich's boundaries today

4. Lake Zurich Beach

Lake Zurich Beach is the perfect place to spend the day. The park offers a large beach area, picnic areas and playgrounds for kids, as well as lifeguards throughout the summer.

If you're looking for more than just swimming in Lake Zurich , this is your spot! You can fish from shore or rent a boat from one of their many marinas . There are also volleyball nets available for use at no additional cost. And if you want to get active on this beautiful day, there are plenty of trails that lead through the forested areas along Lake Zurich .

5. Indian creek

With its lush vegetation, Indian Creek is a great place to enjoy the outdoors. The trail is easy enough for families but challenging enough that you'll get your workout in. There's plenty of wildlife here too, making it an excellent spot to go bird-watching or take pictures of deer and squirrels.

If you're feeling hungry after exploring the nature trails along Indian Creek, have a picnic at one of the many picnic tables scattered throughout the park. Pack some sandwiches or salads for an afternoon snack!

Lake Zurich is about 20 minutes away by car; there are plenty of restaurants along Rand Road where you can stop for lunch or dinner before heading back home from your trip out on Lake Zurich .

Having a family vacation is the best way to bond with your loved ones. If you are planning for an enjoyable trip with your family, then Lake Zurich is the perfect destination for you! It has everything that one needs and wants during this time. You can visit here during any season and enjoy yourself.

[einereiseblog]

Wir besuchen die Phillip Island Penguin Parade in Australien, um zu sehen, ob sie den Hype wert ist Es liegt eine spürbare Spannung in der Luft. Es erinnert mich an die Atmosphäre bei einem Stehplatz-Gig kurz vor der Türöffnung: Alle verhalten sich ruhig, eilen dann aber verzweifelt nach vorne, um einen guten Platz zu ergattern, und drängen Leute wie mich – klein, klein, klein – an den Rand aus dem Zimmer. Unnötig zu erwähnen, dass ich Auftritte nur im Stehen hasse. Glücklicherweise sind die Zuschauer bei der Phillip Island Penguin Parade nicht so aggressiv. Ja, es gibt einen Eifer, hineinzukommen, aber es gibt kein Gedränge oder Schubsen. Außerdem haben Peter und ich „Penguins Plus“-Tickets, die uns einen ruhigeren Sitzbereich ermöglichen. Wir strömen mit der Menge hinein und ziehen uns dann zu einer Barriere zurück, wo wir unsere Tickets wie Perlen schwingen. Innen sind wir mit unserer Entscheidung sehr zufrieden. Die Plus-Sitzgruppe ist weit leiser und ruhiger. Pinguine.org Die Plus-Sitzgruppe bietet die beste Aussicht Die Phillip Island Penguin Parade, 90 Minuten von Melbourne in Australien entfernt, wird von Phillip Island Nature Parks durchgeführt, einer gemeinnützigen Organisation, die ihre Forschungs-, Umwelt-, Bildungs- und Naturschutzaktivitäten auf Phillip Island und darüber hinaus durch fünf Attraktionen selbst finanziert: den Pinguin Parade, Koala Conservation Centre, Antarctic Journey, Churchill Island Heritage Farm und Wild Oceans EcoBoat Tours. Besonders die Pinguinparade verspricht ein Spektakel wie kein anderes. Heute Nacht, so wird uns gesagt, werden wir Hunderte von kleinen Pinguinen sehen, die nach einem Tag der Fischjagd aus dem Meer auftauchen. Wir werden beobachten, wie sie am Strand eine Pause einlegen und dann zu ihren Kämmerchen watscheln. Hunderte, sagen sie. Ich bin skeptisch, wie meine Voreinstellung ist. Meine Begegnung mit Pinguinen auf den Galápagos-Inseln dauerte nur wenige Sekunden und Penguin Island von Perth war wunderschön, aber ich habe keine in freier Wildbahn gesehen. Das Versprechen von Hunderten erscheint absolut fantastisch. Wir nehmen unsere Plätze auf einer abgestuften Plattform ein und quälen uns über den besten Platz zum Sitzen. Wir entscheiden uns für die zweite Reihe und entscheiden, dass sie die beste Balance zwischen der Nähe zu den Pinguinen und dem Blick über den Strand bietet. (Hinweis: Eigentlich sind die Plätze in der ersten Reihe die besten.) Die besten Plätze in Penguins Plus sind rot markiert Die Zeit der Pinguinparade auf Phillip Island ändert sich je nach Monat und Jahreszeit. Heute geht es gegen 20.15 Uhr los, also haben wir eine Stunde Wartezeit. Während dieser Zeit dürfen wir unsere Telefone benutzen und den Strand fotografieren. Danach müssen wir sie wegräumen. Pinguine sind sehr lichtempfindlich, daher wäre es völlig unverantwortlich, hundert Bildschirme in ihren Gesichtern zuzulassen. Daher sind Telefone und Kameras während der Parade selbst strengstens verboten. Wir warten und wir warten. Und wir warten. Wir machen alberne Fotos voneinander und warten dann noch ein bisschen. Wir kuratieren unsere Fotos und warten dann noch etwas. Wir beklagen den Brexit und warten dann noch etwas länger. Es ist 20.20 Uhr und es gibt keine Anzeichen von Pinguinen. Ich bereite mich auf Enttäuschung vor. Ich würde mich freuen, nur ein Dutzend zu sehen, denke ich. Und dann sehen wir etwas Bewegung am Strand. Es ist zunächst subtil: ein Paar tintenschwarzer Figuren, die sich gegen den durchdringenden Zwielichthimmel abheben. Zu ihnen gesellt sich noch eine und dann noch eine. Auf einmal beginnt die Phillip Island Penguin Parade ernsthaft. Die kleinen Pinguine watscheln den Strand hinauf und halten an der Lichtung wenige Meter entfernt an. Einige kauern, während andere zittern und zittern. Einige stolpern herum und fallen Hals über Kopf, nachdem sie Freunde getroffen haben. Dieser Ort am Strand ist ihre erste Gelegenheit, sich auszuruhen,

sicher vor Raubtieren in der Luft, und so versammeln sie sich in Scharen: Dutzende, Dutzende, dann Dutzende über Dutzende. Sie sind äußerst charmant, wenn sie sich grazil bewegen und stolpern und fallen und spielen. Einige watscheln einen Pfad rechts von der Plattform hinauf, während andere unter uns in ihr warmes und gemütliches Zuhause gehen. Endlich! Pinguine in freier Wildbahn! Und nicht nur ein Pinguin wie auf Galápagos oder sechs auf Penguin Island, sondern Dutzende. Hunderte! Ich bin restlos begeistert. Pinguine.org Marsch der Pinguine Sie streamen und streamen und kommen immer weiter und ich kann nicht recht glauben, dass wir das schaffen. Ich kann nicht glauben, dass dieses Spektakel – diese kostbaren Disney-Momente – tatsächlich existiert. Das Handy-Embargo macht das Erlebnis noch spezieller – als ob Momente wie diese nicht festgehalten werden sollten. Wir schauen uns eine Stunde lang die Pinguinparade an, während die Kälte in der Luft stark zunimmt. Peter und ich sind für den australischen Sommer gekleidet und auf die erfrischende Meeresbrise schlecht vorbereitet. Wir ertragen die Kälte noch eine Weile – wann sehen wir so etwas noch? – aber als wir den Strand hinunterblicken, sehen wir Hunderte weitere wie eine bezaubernde kleine Armee kommen. Pinguine.org Ein kleiner Pinguin hält am Strand inne Schließlich sind wir uns einig, dass wir genug gesehen haben. Wir verlassen die Plattform und gelangen auf den allgemeinen Zugangsbereich, wo Pinguine neben den Laufstegen umherwandern. Das Verlassen des Komplexes dauert fast eine Stunde, während wir stehen bleiben, um erfreut zuzusehen, wie ein Paar hier kuschelt und ein Einzelgänger dort kauert. Irgendwann verabschieden wir uns. Am nächsten Tag fragen wir, wie viele Pinguine an diesem Abend in der Parade waren und bekommen die Antwort 613. Ich habe bereits gesagt, dass weite Reisen einige wunderbare Erfahrungen im Vergleich zu früheren Inkarnationen verblassen lassen: Erta Ale ist erstaunlich, aber nicht so sehr wie Yasur; Franz Josef ist cool, aber weniger cool als Perito. Man könnte meinen, dass sich die Pinguinparade auf Phillip Island mit ihren konstruierten Gehwegen, Ticketreihen und dem Warteschlangensystem weniger organisch anfühlte als beispielsweise mit Haien zu tauchen oder mit Walen zu schwimmen, aber ich kann nichts dafür. Die Parade war absolut bezaubernd und eines der besten Dinge, die ich je gesehen habe. Pinguine.org Pinguin-Parade-Tipps Buchen Sie Penguins Plus-Tickets. Sie sind den Aufpreis wert.Kommen Sie mindestens eine Stunde vor Beginn der Parade an, um sich die besten Plätze zu sichern.Setzen Sie sich nach Möglichkeit in die erste Reihe, die der Lichtung am Strand am nächsten liegt. Fragen Sie im Zweifelsfall einen Mitarbeiter nach dem besten Sitzplatz.Packen Sie ein paar Schichten ein, da der Abend kühl werden kann.Legen Sie Ihr Telefon und Ihre Kamera weg und brechen Sie nicht die Regeln. Phillip Island Penguin Parade: das Wesentliche Was: Die Phillip Island Penguin Parade aus Melbourne, Australien. Wo: Wir übernachteten im Somerset on Elizabeth im Herzen von Melbournes Central Business District (CBD). Unser Serviced Apartment war außerordentlich geräumig und umfasste eine Küche, ein Wohnzimmer und ein großes Schlafzimmer. Atlas & Boots Die Mitarbeiter von Somerset on Elizabeth sind offensichtlich sehr gut ausgebildet und waren nach einer ziemlich stressigen Fahrt durch die Stadt wunderbar im Umgang mit unserem Auto. (Der Parkservice ist in der Parkgebühr von 45 AUD/Tag inbegriffen, halten Sie also einfach draußen an und geben Sie Ihre Schlüssel an der Rezeption ab.) Das CBD bietet zahlreiche Restaurants, Geschäfte und Aktivitäten. Melbournes Chinatown ist nur einen Steinwurf entfernt und bietet eine Vielzahl leckerer Optionen. Die Fahrt von Melbourne nach Phillip Island dauert etwa 90 Minuten und kann in einem Tagesausflug bewältigt werden. Wann: Die Pinguinparade findet das ganze Jahr über statt und Pinguine sind bei jedem Wetter zu sehen.

Die beste Zeit für einen Besuch auf Phillip Island sind die Sommermonate von Dezember bis Februar, wenn das Wetter am besten ist und die Niederschläge gering sind. Besuchen Sie im Februar, um die Schulferien zu vermeiden. Wie: Die Phillip Island Penguin Parade bietet mehrere Ticketoptionen. Wir empfehlen die Stufe Penguin Plus – den Aufpreis wert. Buchen Sie frühzeitig, besonders wenn Sie während der Schulferien kommen. Die Pinguine tauchen bei Sonnenuntergang auf und wir empfehlen, mindestens eine Stunde vorher anzureisen (siehe Öffnungszeiten für Zeitpläne). Wenn Sie Penguins Plus-Tickets buchen, zielen Sie auf die Sitzplätze, die dem Strand am nächsten liegen (insbesondere die Lichtung auf der rechten Seite der Sitzplätze, wenn Sie dem Strand zugewandt sind). Es gibt keine öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel von Melbourne nach Phillip Island, daher buchen Sie am besten einen Transfer (Phillip Island Taxis, +61 (03) 5952 2200 ) oder mieten ein Auto bei Hertz Australia. Planen Sie 90 Minuten ein, um von Melbourne nach Phillip Island zu fahren, und weitere 20 Minuten, um die Penguin Parade zu erreichen. Auf Phillip Island gibt es mehrere andere sehenswerte Sehenswürdigkeiten, darunter das Koala Conservation Center und die Landzunge The Nobbies. Es lohnt sich also, ein paar Stunden vor der Pinguinparade dorthin zu kommen, um die Insel zu erkunden. Buchen Sie Inlands- oder Auslandsflüge über Skyscanner zu den besten Preisen. Australien ist ein riesiges Land. Wenn du die Planung lieber abgeben möchtest, empfehlen wir G Adventures und ihre Kleingruppen-Australien-Touren. Lonely Planet Australia ist ein umfassender Reiseführer für das Land, ideal für diejenigen, die sowohl die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten erkunden als auch weniger befahrene Straßen nehmen möchten.

About Me

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul? Interests Camping Fishing Hunting Hiking Freedom Ron Paul Rand Paul Gold Silver Rocks Minerals Natural Remedies Jesus Christ Essential oils Prospecting Mountains Exploration Metallurgy Cooking Copper Fossils Hot springs Life less ordinary About Nathan I feel like I am on a totally different planet compared to most people, on my way of thinking, I believe do to the fact that I am Libertarian, was Home schooled and raised on a 400 acre alfalfa, corn and wheat and cattle farm. A INFJ Personality type which is about 1% of the men on this planet... It feels like 99.9% of the people I talk to are all the same even if they are slightly different on their way of thinking, What happened to Morals, values? What happened to everyone being totally Uniquely and different? having an imagination? wanting to break away from the whole norm? get away from the rat race, enjoy life even if it doesn't mean being filthy rich, or having job security, when really a having garden and trying to be happy and healthy and Faith in God is the only security you really can have. I think I was born in the wrong generation, I find myself identifying more with Older people then I do with most people my age or younger. I am tired of Superficial people It really seams like that is about how most people are these days, I don't care about any sports team unless maybe a friend that I support is involved, it seams like Sports and Hollywood have become our Modern day Idols and worship centers even though most people don't realize it. TV is Nice to numb the brain but really don't care about it at all, I'd rather have the night sky be my TV... I am a Christian, Libertarian and a Entrepreneur. I am Jack of all trades. I can cook, work on cars, computer repairs, fix broken electronics, plumbing and electrical and many other things I've learned how to do having an open mind. Since I grew up and we never had a lot of money to buy new things that often so we fixed things not throw them away, though it did lead to having junk piles on our 500 acres and what not but still... my point is I learned a lot of skills you don't learn going to 50 years schooling.. I am pretty sure I am unlike anyone you have ever met, all though I do not let a lot of people get close to me I have a hard time trusting anyone anymore after being used and hurt to much, and I being an extremely nice guy and easy going I've had people take advantage of me lie to me use me and betray me. I like Natural God Given herbal remedies over the whole medical mess we have going on these days that is more about money then curing anyone. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A 1 NIGHT. I want something deep connection and meaningful. Money is a means to an end, Success it meaningless unless its at helping others. the best things in life are free and didn't cost a penny, good friends are hard to find and in short supply these days. If you want to try to get to know me feel free to send me a message... I've never smoked, done drugs, or been drunk even though I've had a drink everyone once in a while... What I�m doing with my life Trying to Work outside of all the trash going on in the world and the rat race, trying to stay motivated when sometimes it seams like its all for nothing..... It isn't easy being me Empath, I need an Adventure partner who's my best friend to sit under the stars talking about Life, dreams and talking about everything Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food The Bible, Ron Paul - The Revolution, all kinds of music -- but not most rap. I enjoy all kinds of food, chicken, shepherd's pie, venison, dove, pheasant, and elk. Orange chicken. ( I can make it myself) The six things I could never do without Family, Friends, Jesus Christ, God, Prayer, food, Freedom, Liberty, The Constitution. The strength/courage to stand up for what I believe in and help weaker people when no one else does. Being able to think for myself have my own views and opinions. Having people I can look up to as being my heroes like so many of Our founding fathers like Thomas Jefferson Freedom I spend a lot of time thinking about The current state of affairs effecting this once great Country, what kind of bondage our we selling our future generations in to with so much Spending and debt? how to make a living with out working for the Man. Off the Grid Living- getting away from most modern technologies and things that really don't make life any easier because we lose a piece of our self when we can't get away from ' technology' I am Pro Life, you can't have a choice if you Don't first have life....... Why are animals more protected then the unborn children ? You should message me if ...you are pretty much drama free, you're an easy-going, decent person, or if you would like to make a good friend... you like Ron Paul, Rand Paul, getting involved to defend our liberty. Ok so I have talked about me and I like to be honest I am Human and I have my demons I fight daily Depression, Anxiety, IBS, allergies, my back is messed up and my knees hurt once in a while when I go hiking to far... I have a hard time trusting anyone, and or getting close to me, I've also had Dysgraphia and tinnitus since I was a kid... I am an introvert, quite... Why should you message me ? well I am very unique, Honest, Loyal, loving, thoughtful, caring. once a real friend I try to be a good friend... I think I'd make someone a great husband one day even with all my flaws and problems I face I mean cmon who doesn't have their own problems to face why face them alone ??? . I want to live a life less ordinary.... I want someone to enjoy life with........my best friend my lover to grow old with to make out of life what we can working together through good and bad times.... If You read all of this Kudos to you, I've been single a Long time so I keep adding to this.

Norwegian / old norse names and places

Every now and then I come across a book, movie, TV-series, fanfic, game or whatever, that mention a fictional "Norwegian" or "norse" place or person, and it just sounds so wrong it makes me either cringe or ROFL. Really. I still haven't recovered from the 1995 X-files episode, "Død Kalm", which took us to the port of "Tildeskan" where we met "Henry Trondheim", "Halverson" and "Olafsson".  Hopefully this list will keep others from being that “creative” with names. :)

Common names for places, towns and villages in Norway

These names are very generic and suitable for a place, village or town anywhere (and pretty much any time) in Norway. Mix and match prefixes with suffixes for diversity.  Bonus: All of these can also be used as surnames. Name (meaning) - usage

Nes (headland, cape, ness) - Standalone ​ Bø (fenced-in field on a farm) - Standalone Fjell (mountain) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Fjell- / -fjell Haug (small hill / large mound)  -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Haug- / -haug Vik, Viken, Vika (inlet, the inlet, the inlet) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Vik- / -viken / -vika Ås, Åsen (hill, the hill (larger than "Bakken")) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: ​ Dal, Dalen (valley, the valley) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: ​ Berg (small mountain) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Berg(s)- / -berg Sand (sand) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Sand- / -sand Strand (beach) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Strand- / -strand Li (hill) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Li- / -li Gran (spruce) -  Standalone or prefix: Gran- Bratt (steep) - prefix only: Bratt- Myr (bog, mire) - prefix only: Myr- Neset, Nesset (the headland, the cape, the ness) - Standalone or suffix: ​-neset / -nesset Odden (foreland, headland) - Standalone or suffix: ​ -odden Våg (cove, bay) - Standalone or suffix: -våg Lund (grove) - Standalone or suffix: -lund Sund (sound, strait) -  Standalone or suffix:  -sund Skog (forest) prefix/suffix: Skog- / -skog Øy (island) prefix/suffix: Øy- / -øy øya (the island) - suffix only: ​ -øya bakken  (the hill) - suffix only: -bakken  gard / gård / gården (farm / farm / the farm) - suffix only: -gard / -gård / -gården elv, -elva (river, the river) suffix only: -elv / -elva stad (old word for town/place) suffix only: -stad vannet (the lake) - suffix only: -vannet

Common words that can be used as prefix to any of the suffixes above Svart- (black)  Lille- (little/small)  Sol- (sun)  Brei-/Bred- (wide)  Stor- (big) Lang- (long)

Common Norwegian surnames (contemporary)

Heredatory surnames didn't become mandatory in Norway until 1923. Many took the name from the farm or place they lived, or just changed their primary patronyms into hereditary patronyms. Example: Helgessønn/Helgesdatter (son of Helge / daughter of Helge) became Helgesen.

Names usage Double names, like Ragnhild Johanne or Ole Martin are common in Norway. Just keep them as two names and don't use "-", and you'll be safe, even if it ends up a tongue twister. Using only one of two given names is also common practice.

In Norway everyone is on a first name basis. Students call teachers and other kids' parents by their first name, workers call their boss by their first name, we call our Prime Minister by her first name (journalists will use her title when speaking to her though). Some senior citizens still use surnames and titles when speaking of or to  people their own age.

There are some exceptions. For example, a doctor may be referred to as Dr. Lastname when we speak of them, but first name is used when speaking to them. A priest is "the priest" when speaking of him/her and their first name is used when spaking to them. In the millitary only surnames (and ranks) are used. If you meet Harald, the King of Norway, in an official setting you will refer to him as "Kongen" (the king). If you run into him at the gas station, or while hiking, he is "Harald".

If you don't know someone's name it is okay to use their title, or just say "you".

Bynames Bynames, or nicknames, could be neutral, praising or condescending. Usually bynames described a person's

body, bodyparts, bodily features

age

kinship and descent

territorial origin

knowledge, belief, spirituality

clothing, armour

occupation, social position

nature

Examples: Eirik Blodøks (Eirik Blood-Axe), Gammel-Anna (old Anna), Halte-Ása (limping Ása). I suggest that you stick with English for bynames, or use (relatively) modern language if you are writing in Norwegian. 

Surnames

Surnames weren't really a thing until 1923 when they became mandatory. Before 1923 patronyms (son/daughter of) were used, and the name of the farm you lived on was often added as an address. 

For instance: Helgi Eiriksøn (Helgi, son of Eirik), who lived at the farm called Vollr (grass field), would be called Helgi Eiriksøn Vollr. If he moved to the farm called Haugr his name would change to Helgi Eiriksøn Haugr.

Patronyms

Men: Use father's first name and add -sen /-son /-sønn Women: Use father's first name and add -dotter / -dottir / -datter

Farm names

Farm names were usually relevant and derived from either the location, a nearby landmark, nature or from occupation.  I suggest you stick with the modern forms for farm names.

Old Norse (meaning) - modern Bekkr (stream) - Bekk, Bekken Dalr (valley) - Dal, Dahl Horn (horn) - Horn Vollr (field) - Vold, Volden Lundr (grove) - Lund

The list of common names for places/villages/towns is still valid, although the spelling is modern. Just keep it simple and make "clever" combos based on meaning.

Diary Entry #3

Today I woke up at around 11:00 and then I stayed in bed and went on my phone for a little while, like I usually do. I finally got out of bed and went downstairs, made my breakfast and coffee, and then sat in the sunroom with my mom and sister. My mom was watching one of her older tv shows, and I decided to watch it with her. We watched about two episodes and finished our breakfast and then around 1 we talked about when we wanted to go get a Christmas tree. For most of my life, my family has had a fake tree, but for the past few years, we’ve switched to a real tree, and we haven’t gone back since. My sister rand I got ready and changed out of our pj’s and then we got in the car and started heading to a tree farm in Oxford. Once we got there we found a place to park and started walking up the path. Once we reached the end of the path, a guy greeted us and told us about all of the different types of trees they had. My mom asked if they had any trees that were bigger than seven feet and he said no. The room that we put our tree in has a really high ceiling, so we like to get a tree that’s really tall so it’ll fill up the room. The guy said that they were all out of taller trees, so we decided to go to a different tree farm in Addison Oaks instead. We got there at around 4 and saw that they closed at 5, so we couldn’t take too long. We went up to the front and a guy gave us a wagon and a saw to cut down a tree once we found one. We went in the back lawn and looked at all of the trees there, and we didn’t find any trees that were tall enough. So then we went to the front lawn and looked there, and we found two good trees. Finally we narrowed it down to one. It was really big, and the trunk was thicker than most of the other trees around it, but we liked it, so we started to saw it. Sawing a tree down is a lot harder than I thought, it took us about 25 minutes just to get the tree to fall, and my mom, sister, and I all had to take turns sawing. Once we finally got it to fall in the wagon, we pulled the wagon back up to the front, and the guys that were working wrapped it up and cut the bottom so it was more symmetrical. Then they helped us to secure it on top of the car and we left to go home. Once we got home, I made a bagel with some peanut butter and honey, and then I helped my mom and dad bring the tree in, and put it in the stand. Then I realized we got pine needles all over the floor so I decided to vacuum for a little while. After that, I did some homework for my Psychology class, and then I watched a bit of Netflix with my mom and sister.
