Tea Museum in Norden

a fire place from 12th century


I collect tea sets it's one of my hobbies, i don't know why but i just simply fascinated by them. In Norden, Ostfriesland we visited a tea museum and it's my first time to see one. Norden is the oldest city in Ostfriesland, became a city on 13th century, with about 27 thousand population.

After visiting "Seehundstation" in Norddeich, where they keep all the sea lion babies without mothers, and then let them free in the ocean when they think they are strong enough and ready to be alone, we went to the tea museum in Norden.

as usual that day the weather didn't change it was even colder and stormy so good idea to visit the museum and the sea lion center, and here at home it's more or less the same, so got to go guys.... it time for "Schietwettertee" ;) in English: " shit weather tea ".
