My name is Winter Bear and I'm a small teddy bear who wants to discover the world, especially cold places. If you'd like to host me, please send a pm to my mentor nuriayasmin. However, as a start I'm taking part in a so-called Round Robin. That means we're a group of 4 ToyVoyagers who will each spend a month with the mentor of one of the others.
My travel itinerary looks like this:
1. Visiting mellialida in Germany
2. Visiting grunolana in Germany
3. Visiting Willy Olson in Germany
I'm very much looking forward to starting my journey.
While I was staying here at home I had the opportunity to learn quite a few languages so I guess I won't have problems with communication. Here you can see me studying Japanese.
Apart from the other TV's and stuffed animals who are here, my best friend is Sammy, my mentor's cat.
Perhaps I can show you some pictures of my home and my hometown before I leave, otherwise I will do it when I come back here.

This is the Hotel Zum Ritter. It was built in 1592 and was the only house which survived the great fire from 1635 because it was stone-built and not wooden like the other houses.
The Old Bridge was built in 1788. There were 8 other bridges at the same place before that one but they were all destroyed.
On the way home we cycled along some fields.
Do you like my hometown? If you'd like to visit it, send a PM to my mentor nuriayasmin. I'm sure she'll be happy to show you around.
Bye, Winter Bear

Today I arrived in Seebach at my new host mellialida.
She is really nice. After a walk through the flat I met börnie, another tv. We had a great conversation.
I think, I have a new friend!
I am looking forward to the next few weeks.
My new host told me, that she is very happy about the geocaching Travelbug!
Posted Nov 10, 2011, 5:59 pm
My host mellialida is a really lovely host! I have seen the hometown, the "Thuringian Wood" and the "University".
But at the moment, my host gets sick! She had a very bad stomach flu. So, the other tv's and I decide to cook her a lovely dinner.
We cut some tomato's and some mozarella (she loves it!).
Chubby berry red a nice bedtime story (he is such a cute ans civilly bear!). We all became very sleepy!
At the weekend, we would like to visit the castle "Wartburg"! I am so excited!
Posted Nov 14, 2011, 7:22 pm
Oh, today was a foggy, cold day. But I like this weather. My host mellialida and the other tvs decide to visit the Wartburg in Eisenach. This was a special wish from Börnie! But I was also really happy about it.
Here are the facts:
In 1999 UNESCO added Wartburg Castle to the World Heritage List as an "Outstanding Monument of the Feudal Period in Central Europe", citing its "Cultural Values of Universal Significance". The castle's foundation was laid about 1068 by the Thuringian count of Schauenburg. According to tradition, the castle got its name from Ludwig dem Springer: "Warte, Berg -- du sollst mir eine Burg werden!"
But I am also sad, because börnie leave us tomorrow. We decide to have a big party for him!
Posted Nov 15, 2011, 4:47 pm
We mad a big suprise-party for börnie. He left us today and so we decide to have a really cool party with sweets and juice!
But...have a look at the picture!
Posted Nov 26, 2011, 4:26 pm
Today we walked through Thal, this is a village near Seebach, where
my host mellialida live.
I saw some horses. They aren't friendly, but I did my best!
I saw the Thuringian Wood, it was great to see, how the nature
turns from summer into autumn (and I think in a few days into winter!).
Oh, and later we went to the "Geologischer Aufschluß am Großen Ebertsberg". This is a very old stone with "Kristallin, Glimmerschiefer, Gneis and Porphyr".
Glimmerschiefer is about 500 Mio. years old and they call it "Katzensilber".
This is our last tour at mellialida. I am really sad!
Posted Nov 30, 2011, 3:18 pm
I am on the way to another host!
It is so exciting!
I can't wait to see another host or tv. So, I jump into the
dark envelope aaaand...

Today the weather outside was too bad, so we decided to stay inside and play some games. We played "monopoly" and "Siedler von Catan". It was so much fun and I found a new fried called Stich. Of course I won

Today we had a walk through the city and have marveled at the huge Christmas tree at the marketplace and everywhere were these lions. These lions are a kind of mascot of Amberg. Many of them are spread all over the town. The whole city lit up because of the great shining christmas-decoration.

We're so sorry for updatin so late. But now everthing went right. So here we go...
I arrived a long time ago. When I jumped out of my envelop, there were so much nice toys waiting for me.
They were so nice to me. We talked a lot and ate the chocolate.
Later that day I halped Bentje by baking a cake. We made a Santa Clause cake.
Nobody here eat this chocolate mans, so we had to make the cake out of them.
I was melting the butter.
But the best part of making the cake was this! I was allowed to jump on the Santas. Hihi it was sooo funny!
I'm sorry, we forgot to make a pic before we ate the cake. It was really delicious.
We went out into the garden. There's a funny sign.
We've got a little bit snow. But look, on the Gräbelesberg in the back is more snow.
Bye for a while

I helped by feeding the fishes.
We hung up this new shelf in the kitchen.
We drove to Albstadt- Ebingen for a little shopping trip. First we went into the supermarket. We needed some things for a soup.
Not really nice weather on the parking place.
Later we tried some clothes.
Bye for the moment

Here we go again
We went to Albstadt- Ebingen.
Infront of the Bürgerturm. It's really old and an emblem from Ebingen. It was build in the time of 1500.
The city hall was build in 1912/1913. It has a very nice big gable.
Some of the new works of art in Ebingen. They were made by Peter Lenk and they were set up on 29.11.2011. This is part with the politicians.
It's carnival in Albstadt
The people here say "Fasnet"
This is the Martinskirche. The tower was build in 1670. There's a tombstone in the church from a knight called Heinrich von Ringelstein from 1413.
The city and the Bürgerturm.
Bye for now

We went to Meßstetten to see a bit more snow.
But not really much snow
this is no good winter.
It is a very steep road.
We stopped at the Skiarena Täle from the Skiverein Meßstetten.
Me in front of the skijumping hill.
Here you could see the ski lift. It's the steepest which the company that built it ever made.
What a bit snow pile.

We went to Lautlingen to visit the Stauffenberg Schloss.
The main building was build in 1846. The wall and the towers were build in the Middle Ages.
The brothers of Stauffenberg spent a bulk of their childhood in the castle.
I liked this tower a lot.
The playground next to the castle. Just a big construction zone.
I take a seat on the swing. It was such a fun!
One of the entries
The main building
A really beautiful house
Some information boards (just german)

We watched some winter sports on the weekend.
Tomorrow we'll start an other adventure
We had to get up really early at 4am 
Than we'll go by the car to the airport in Stuttgart. We'll take a plane to Hamburg and go to Lüneburg by train. Bentjes mom will wait there and take us by car home to the little village called Bavendorf.
On Thursday we'll go by car to Willingen to watch the skijumping competitions there.
I'm really excited!
I helped by packing the case. It's sooo big.
Bentje said I had to take care of the tickets.
We made a little map of our journey. We'll make about 1200km the next days.
I think we'll had a lot of fun. I'm not sure if we find some time to write an update in Bavendorf.

The flight to Hamburg was so exciting. Wow, the airport in Hamburg is much bigger than the one in Stuttgart. We went a while to the luggage reclaim. We found our case and than we had to go by train to Lüneburg via Hamburg Central Station. We passed the first train at the airport. So we had to wait an our on the Central Station.
When we arrived in Lüneburg, Bentjes mom and sister were waiting for us. We just spent one night there. On Thursday morning we started our journey to Willingen.
I was very happy that Bodo came with me. He's a really nice polar bear.
Well, he said I could be his little brother.
When we arrived - after 4 1/2 hours sitting in the car - we went to the jumping hill. This one is the biggest one in the world. Only the hills for skiflying are bigger. Bentje told me this in Willingen is as big a the Dom of Cologne. You might see a little red point on the hill. Some of the austrian guys made some trainings jumps.
Here you could see our sleeping room. I'm sorry, it's a bit messy.
The livingroom
I found a scarf. Now I'm a real fan
It was so amazing. We stood in the first line. There were sooo many people and a really great atmosphere! I had a nice time there with Shelly the sheep and the little Pig. But it was cold!
I'm a really happy bear now. I got some autograph cards.
And than... there was so much snow on monday
Hope you like our pics

After 3 hours we arrived in Oberstdorf. First we had a little drink
The weather wasn't very nice. Rain, rain, rain
We went to the train station and took the bus to the "Heini Klopfer Skiflugschanze". I was very lucky, Bentje got a ticked for the FIS Family/Special Guests area. I saw some VIPs there. What a huge hill!
Look me and a jumper

We're really sorry, but we had to tell you something. We're just watching the skijumping world championship in Vikersund... and than it happens, a great adversity. A glass of coke fall over... we killed the cellphone, the car radio and well me haha. Now I'm a coke bear.
So I went to the bathroom to take a long bath.

Today I helped Bentje with her piercings. She got new piercing jewelry. We sort them.
Surpirse surprise! Now I'm a pierced bear thihi! Didn't I look really cool ha?
But don't worry mom... we pulled some balls out of the ball closure rings and put them on me. No holes into my body
Bentje didn't allowed it. She said, she can't decide to make me some piercings. She won't become any trouble with you.

Today was my last day at Bentjes home. We had a lot of fun today.
First I helped Bentje with her hairs.
If I need a job, I might be a good hairdresser
Tada... looks really good
Bentje said I did a good job!
Later we made a shopping tour. There're lots of bottles and some letters
First stop at the bank - we just need some money, money, money...
Into the supermarket
Wuuhi Mom, last day here and you won't belive, I completed one more life mission. They were so dilicious!
But than it was time to say good bye. We wrote the adress of my next host on my envelop.
The other toys gave a little present to me
Wuuuh look! I got my own fist piercing!
We put it on my TV mark. Think it looks good
At least a big group hug
That's all for now...

The river in the back is called Leine. The Leine is a river in Thuringia and Lower Saxony, Germany. It is a left tributary of the Aller river (and so of the Weser river as well) and 281 km in length. Important towns upstream to down along its course are Göttingen, Einbeck, Alfeld and Gronau, before the river enters Hanover, the largest city on its banks. We passed all the towns, except Gronau.

First station was the Junkernhof. It is the oldest building in Uetze. The Junkernhof was build 1635 from the family von Uttensen. Uetze was called "Utisson" (1022) and "Utessem" (1215) in the past. These names are deduced from the name von Uttensen. So the building had a great impact on the village.
So here is the Junkernhof and a stone next to the two-storey half-timber house.

Solar panel, we can position it...
and increase the amount of light hitting the panel.
We are in the polytunnel. They have some grape vines.
They also have flowers and other plants.

There is a solar panel roof. There is a course currently for people wanting to know more about solar panels.
A mole!
and its tunnel.
Comparing different energy and power.

Honey bees.
Dancing bees (waggle dance).
The Queen Bee lays eggs in a wax cell.
A wind powered seat.
A metal plate, painted dark, insulation behind, and then covered in glass.
A water pump sprinkling water into the large pond.
Blades for a wind turbine get attached to this thing.

It was a sunny day and we had a little rest on the promenade outside the theatre, after she got her bag back.
The sea looks calm.

We are on the train, just leaving the station.
The engine pulls us out of the station, but then has to switch ends to pull us in another direction.
Porthmadog has an estuary, with a tidal island.
And inland, are some hills and mountains of Snowdonia in the distance.
We are going across the Cob, built to cross the estuary.
This is the River Glaslyn.
A hill, Moel Hebog, from Beddgelert station
We are moving again.
And on we go.
We have stopped off in Rhyd Ddu. We can take a look at the engine.
Can you see the top of Mount Snowdon? Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales.
And on we go.
We are approaching another station.
That engine is called Caernarfon Castle.

The train will go back to Porthmadog.
There's Caernarfon Castle.

Yesterday I arrived in Sülfeld. Dicker Kumpel gave me a warm welcome.
Then he introduced me to the other TVs here.
Today I went to Bad Oldesloe. We went into a park with the theme children rights. I loved this funny house.
This shelf was art – so I don’t have to understand all.
I saw some ducks, but they went to other people, because they got food there.
A nice view – but not really something interesting to see.
This fountain was in front of the town hall.
The Stadthaus was next to the townhall.
There were some nice old houses in the town.
And some beautiful flowers.
Look – a water wheel.
I loved playing on this duck.

We went to the Zoo of Hannover today. First I saw some hippos. They seemed to have a good life here – lying in the water!
We made a boat trip in the Zoo – and I saw some other animals.
This friendly duck loved to swim next to our boat.
Look – a big rhinoceros.
A good view of the giraffes – the one in the middle was really young.
Then we met smaller animals. They are called prairie dogs.
It was a great day in the Zoo. Dicker Kumpel told me that I will complete one of my life missions tomorrow!
I am really excited!
Yours

We went to Bad Salzdetfurth today. It is an old mining town.
First I sat next to the saline and enjoyed the healthy air.
Just another view of the salines.
We made a group photo on the fountain.
Later I sat in the Summstein and had fun!
This is a colorful house for doves.
They opened a golf-course here – but it was too hot to play it for us.
There was a big wheel in the park. It is from the time when Bad Salzdetfurth was a mining town.
We went into the town – and found another relict out of this time.
Can you find me on this funny guy?
Yours

We visited Murph and had a great TV-meeting – starting with a drink!
Look – I had a yummy blue drink!
Well – really yummy… I drank a lot of it.
Mum – then it was time to complete on of my life missions. I met two other travelling TV-bears.
They are PinkyHH and Maxi.
We went out onto the balcony and had fun!
It was great sharing some bear-stuff with the others…
Then it was time to go into the living-room because Murph and his guests showed us a wonderful cake!
We all went nearer!
It was so delicious - we had a great party!
Later it was time to leave – and we had a big TV-hug!

We were in another nice city this weekend – called Hildesheim. There were many wonderful old houses. See me in front of one of the nicest I have ever seen.
Next to it was a smaller one.
I loved the funny house with the two little towers!
This is the town hall.
Look – a wonderful old post box.
Then we went to a big church – called St. Michaelis.
Can you see us under this statue?
It was a little scary to sit there.
Many greetings

This weekend we drove to the town Harburg – and went around this lake. This photo was a little dark.
But a little later I sat in the sunshine!
We went to a park – it must have been beautiful in the Past.
At least we found some nice flowers in one corner of the park.
Then there was a big surprise – we went to another part of the park – and it was so beautiful!
I loved these flowers – and would have loved to send some to you!

We went to a fun fair today.
I didn’t want to try one of these carousels, but it was nice to see them.
But I loved this chocolate stick – and it was healthy because of the pineapple inside.
Look - this house had nice colors – and the people inside had a lot of fun.
And this carousel was nice, too – not as fast as most of the others.
This one was called wild mouse XXL. I thought about using it, because I am a mouse, but I was too small.
So we stopped at the last roundabout - and then we went home.

Today we took a trip to a village near to Sülfeld. Can you see me on the big stone?
See me on a lot of wood!
We found a nice place and talked a lot.
Then we went to a nice cabin – and watched for birds!
Can you see the white dots – there were swans!
I liked the tree in front of the blue sky.
And I loved this funny tree.
We had fun at this point. We made a competition in long jump.
I had a great fourth place – not bad for a bear.
Can you imagine what I did here?
Yes, I used the slide.
Before we went home – we played on this big swing.
This was fun!

I went to a little town near to Sülfeld today – Bad Oldesloe. The white building behind me is the town hall.
This is the Stadthaus – but I don’t know what is inside the house.
I loved this water wheel.
We had a rest next to a small river.
There were some old houses in the city – a nice place with a lot of flowers.

Today I went to Lübeck – a nice town in the North of Germany. They have really beautiful old houses here.
This is the theatre of Lübeck.
I loved the beautiful balcony of the town hall.
These are views from the other side.
I went to the river – and saw old storehouses.
On the other side of the river are typical houses.
The river was really nice.
On the last photo you see the most famous building of the city – it is called Holstentor. Years ago it was on a bill of German money.

A new guest arrived today – it is Lorca. She showed the nice postcard that olgamaus created.
Later we visited Dicker Kumpel’s Grandma. She had birthday this week – and this is one of her presents.
I really loved these wonderful flowers!

The weather was awful outside, so we decided to explore the house. A horse must have lived here in the Past.
I tried to call you, but you were not at home.
No wine in this barrel.
Then I played the trumpet or whatever this was.

On Sunday we made a walk through Sülfeld. This is the old church.
On the other side of the street is the old pharmacy.
Here you can see the emblem of Sülfeld.
Do you understand the words on this big rock?
Behind the rock there is the old school.
Mum, my friends Mr. Stanley and Tiplitaps left for new adventures - do you have any idea, where I should travel next?
Many greetings
