Christmas Fog
Took a detour through my local park as I was walking home and collected a hug from this cloud. It leaves a super fine mist in your hair that sparkles like a halo when you walk under bright lights.
Hung out with an elephant
When elephants see humans, it activates the same part of their brain as when humans see cute things, like babies.
Can you guess the animal without watching all three vids? (Answer below)
Splinter + teenage mutant ninja duck!
Splinter has lunch and a mallard duck dances in the background.
Answer:
It’s a musk rat! I first noticed them in the summer. Seems like they like playing here in the winter as well..

Week 53 | 28 Dec 2020 – 03 Jan 2021
Off to see the snow!
On the last day of 2020, it finally snowed! PROPER snow.
Winter hiking
We enjoyed some hot tea and homemade cookies by these 12th century ruins
Christmas trees everywhere!
In situ. Covered on snow.
Fluffy!
Almost like sand, or snow-dust…except it behaves completely differently. I tried to make a snow-castle the same way I would make one from sand. It definitely doesn’t work the same way! >_<
Snow-capped waterfall
This is the first time I’ve seen a waterfall covered in snow. Not a bad way to see out the last day of 2020.
We had intended to go to Mummelsee but, due to road closures, ended up parking where we could and then wandering to wherever the trail led us. On this occasion, it was the All Saints Waterfall (Allerheiligen-Wasserfälle).
Leftovers
Another nice thing about Christmas is that you can make yummy cakes out of leftover ingredients.
Giant NYE Pretzels
In Colombia, we (tried to) eat 12 grapes in 12 seconds. In Germany, we eat brioche disguised as a giant pretzel. It was much more achievable than the Colombian challenge, except that we forgot to do it at midnight, so we had it for brekky instead.
