Description: Lutra lutra, Otter


He told me that otter is a typical animal, which live in the Czech mountains. I asked him whether some people feed otters, or not.
The following is his reply:

Otter is common animal in central Europe, but now it lives only in pure wild mountains rivers (or in ZOO´s). It is dificult to shelter otters, because they are wild and they need water and big outdoor area. I saw couple of otters in a paddock next to one mountains cottage in NP Šumava mountains.

I like this card and he is a very nice guy.

Description: Oporto (Patrimonio Mundial World Heritage)


The left stamp let me tink of Gorillaz!!!

Brief Description
The city of Oporto, built along the hillsides overlooking the mouth of the Douro river, is an outstanding urban landscape with a 2,000-year history. Its continuous growth, linked to the sea (the Romans gave it the name Portus, or port), can be seen in the many and varied monuments, from the cathedral with its Romanesque choir, to the neoclassical Stock Exchange and the typically Portuguese Manueline-style Church of Santa Clara.

Justification for Inscription
The Committee decided to inscribe the nominated property on the basis of cultural criterion (iv) considering that the site is of outstanding universal value as the urban fabric and its many historic buildings bear remarkable testimony to the development over the past thousand years of a European city that looks outward to the west for its cultural and commercial links.

I don't know French so I guess maybe it's a hotel. She didn't tell me anything about this card. And the brief introduction on the postcard was French, too. I was sad.

She told me that Lapland is situated in the Northern Finland. There is also reindeer on the road, and the SAMI poeple are wearing their national costumes.

The shoes, the sled and the hats are so special. The front of the sled looks like a dugout. It looks very cold there!!!

Description: Kirchheim unter Teck

Kirchheim unter Teck is set in the foothills of the Swabian Alb.

The town has a population of 40,000 and it is the main centre of the area around the Teck Castle.

This castle and the signet are really attractive.

But Nele didn't tell me anything about it.

If it were not that the official website was on the postcard, I wouldn't know anything about it.

I really want get a postcard and poeple will tell me something about it.

But I still thank you, Nele.
