I arrived in Geneva, Switzerland on November 11, 2011.

I met a whole bunch of new friends, took a bus ride to see a concert,  and had a lovely dinner with my host.

November 13 is my Swiss host's birthday... so my new friends and I celebrated her birthday together. We surprised her with a happy birthday song and then we ate the rainbow cake together. I also got to swim in a pool of candies. That was pretty cool.

My host had a meeting in London and she took me with her. Of course I had to be very quiet during the meeting, but the day before the meeting we had a tour of the city. It's such a big city and I feel like I'm such a small frog.

On November 28, we went to see the Onion Market (or Zibelemärit) in Bern. It was very interesting but it was so crowded my host couldn't get a good picture of me. I did get some pictures with the confettis, and then I posed at the parliament building and I also got my picture taken with the lovely green "onion" candies.

To get around in Geneva, we take the public transport. Although my host said I don't need a ticket cause I'm so small, I did want my picture taken with the ticket machine. The bus we took was strangely empty. I had my picture taken with this wonderful mural. It's one of my host's favorite scenes in Geneva.

This was supposed to be my last day in Switzerland... my host had some friends over and we were playing a guessing game which was a lot of fun, when suddenly the door bell rang and this lady who lives in the next apartment came running in for water. Next thing we know there was a thick smoke coming out of her apartment. It was chaotic. We got out of the building and were let back in after a few hours. We cleaned up and slept the whole next day. I postponed my trip home, of course.

In the Czech republic, now!

I stay in Olomouc with a couple of nice girls -Hana and Baruna- and their two frenchies. Unfortunately I'm here in the time of historical frosts, so I drink lots of tea and can't spend much time outside. But I have seen the whole Olomouc already, it's such a beautiful city!!

Here are few pictures from our latest walk.

Here I'm in front of wonderful Saint Wenceslas Cathedral, it's really really old building, older than me, older than my mum, you know..

the olomouc archdiocesan museum - I'm going to see few exhibitions there ..

http://img1.rajce.idnes.cz/d0101/6/6048/6048477_4dae70d343a89151c63839e5ec680c73/images/100_8410.jpg
This is the best veggie restaurant in Olomouc, I really enjoyed eating there because everything there was green - just like me :stare:

I found the street where I'm living now  :thinking:

I was absolutely fascinated by this astronomical clock, amazing!

and here I'm in front of Holy Trinity Column in Olomouc (one of the  UNESCO World Heritage), really really high!

http://img1.rajce.idnes.cz/d0101/6/6048/6048477_4dae70d343a89151c63839e5ec680c73/images/102_8226.jpg
these are both my french friends - Stella, the white girl and Frank, my dude. We spend lots of time together when Hana and Baruna are in the school or job. I think Stella and Frank are half dogs and half frogs, because we have lot of fuuun!

http://img1.rajce.idnes.cz/d0101/6/6048/6048477_4dae70d343a89151c63839e5ec680c73/images/102_8234.jpg
and this is the mother Duck, I sleep on her back and feel really safely  with her


Tomorrow I'm going to see the Palacký University where Hana and Baruna study, I've heard the University is beautiful building, so I can't wait.

Hi Mum,

As I wrote you in a PM, I arrived safely in Germany. Dicker Kumpel is my host here – and he gave me a warm welcome.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0300.jpg

Then he introduced me to the other guys here.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0301.jpg

I arrived just in time for a trip to Lübeck – a really nice town. On the photo you see one of the typical backyard there.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0303.jpg   

This is the famous town hall.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0308.jpg

Here you see it from the other side.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0315.jpg

This building is called Holstentor. It is really famous in Germany – and had been on a money note in the Past.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0320.jpg

Can you see me?

Hi Mum,

The weather was nice outside so we took a walk around Sülfeld. Behind me you can see the tree that Dicker Kumpel loves most.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0345.jpg   

Look – we had sunshine – and talked a lot on this bench.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0350.jpg   

The trees looked so wonderful and colorful.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0353.jpg   

I thought about taking a bath – but didn’t do it, because the water was not so clean.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0357.jpg   

Back home we walked through this forest.

Hi Mum,

I went to a small town near to Sülfeld. Look – there was a wonderful water wheel.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0385.jpg   

Can you see me? Maybe it is not so easy – a green frog on the green plant. Behind me you see the church of Bad Oldesloe.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0389.jpg   

Here I sat together with Dicker Kumpel and Dottie Mouse – you can see the water wheel again.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0391.jpg   

There were some nice houses.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0394.jpg   

I wanted to send you this flower – but maybe a photo is enough, too.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0395.jpg

This is the town hall and a nice fountain.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0400.jpg

And another nice house – the Stadthaus (house of the town…)

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0401.jpg

There is a nice river in Bad Oldseloe.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0407.jpg   

On our way back to the car we met these ducks. They were friendly and we talked some minutes.

Hi Mum,

It was sunny outside so Dicker Kumpel and I walked through Sülfeld. It is autumn here – but we have no snow, like you have at home, Mum!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0413.jpg

I liked the colorful tree behind the little lake.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0415.jpg

This is the old school of Sülfeld, a nice building.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0418.jpg

The emblem of Sülfeld is beautiful – but they should put a frog onto it.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0419.jpg

Sülfeld is an old village, it is more than 800 years old.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/R_0423.jpg

They have a wonderful church here – we wanted to go into it, but it was a church service at this time.

Hi Mum,

SURPRISE! We flew to South Africa. Isn’t that exciting? I looked out of the window.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0001.jpg

On the map I saw that it won’t take too long anymore.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0005.jpg

Today we took our first trip here. We went to a colony of penguins, but first I met this nice guy – it was a Dassie.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0009.jpg

Then I saw the penguins – there were hundreds!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0013.jpg

I went closer to some of them.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0016.jpg

Look – there were parents with their child.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0021.jpg

These guys were very close to our way.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0024.jpg

I wanted to have a photo with this penguin. He was not afraid of us.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0027.jpg

It was a nice time here with the penguins!

Back ‘home’ we had delicious Sushi.

It was a lot to eat, but ToyVoyagers are always hungry.

Hi Mum,

I am in Hermanus now.It’s a city where you can see whales. We saw some from our balcony – but wanted to see more. A funny taxi brought us to the city center. It is called Tuk Tuk.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0038.jpg

From this point we saw one of the whales very close, but unfortunately RikeH took photos of the whale at this moment – and not of me and the whale.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0041.jpg

But here you can see how big the whale was. (About 15 meters!)

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0044.jpg

We decided to walk back to our home. The Cliff Path seemed to be a good idea.

There were nice plants next to it.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0048.jpg

We had nice views from the Coast and some Whales – but the Whales were too far away for a good photo without zooming.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0050.jpg

We took a rest, because the way was long – and we loved this stone formation.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0052.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0053.jpg

Wow – they have strange but beautiful flowers here.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0054.jpg

Can you remember the photo we took half an hour before?  It was nearly the same photo. The path was longer than expected. Because I am an intelligent frog - I travelled in RikeH’s bag.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0058.jpg

Fortunately we reached our home – and I want to show you our view from the balcony.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0061.jpg

We relaxed in the sunshine after the long walk.

Hi Mum,

It was time for adventure –we lived in this tent for 2 nights.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0069.jpg

We relaxed next to a beautiful lake and in the late afternoon we went onto a safari in this car.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0072.jpg

We watched out for wild animals and saw some – but you cannot see them on the photo – they were far away!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0074.jpg

The nature looks different here to my home country!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0081.jpg

Our guide told us that maybe a hippo is living in this little lake. But we didn’t meet one here. We saw three others earlier in the afternoon – but it is always the same with these wild animals – they didn’t want to be close to us.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0083.jpg

This is a typical tree for this part of the world.

Look – can you see the rhino on the hill? It was amazing – and so big!

Hi Mum,

It was RikeH’s birthday and we sang a wonderful song for her in the morning.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0094.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0095.jpg

In the morning we visited an ostrich farm and learnt a lot about these birds.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0099.jpg

This one was older than the first one we met.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0101.jpg

On this photo you can see a family. The black one is the male, the brown one is the female – and you see some children.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0105.jpg

Their eggs were soooo big.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0106.jpg

Later we saw some stupid people riding on the ostriches – at this moment there was no one riding anymore.  But maybe you can see that the ostriches can run very fast.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0113.jpg

These 3 ostriches wanted to have a group photo with me.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0116.jpg

Later we visited the Cango Caves. It was not so nice to take good photos – but I wanted to show you how the cage looked like inside.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0120.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0124.jpg

Back home in our lodge we relaxed some hours – then it was time for meeting elephants. They should be there behind the lake.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0127.jpg

We were really close to the elephants. These elephants were orphans – their parents were killed in the Krüger National Park. Now they were about 10 years old – and really tall!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0130.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0134.jpg

It was so interesting to meet them!

We went back to our tent – you can see it far behind me!

Before we left we had a morning safari.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0148.jpg

It was amazing – we went really close to many giraffes.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0152.jpg

There were 10 of it.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0159.jpg

We stopped at this wonderful point and saw other animals – but they were far away.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0162.jpg

Hello Mum, 

Today we went to a place called Birds of Eden – the largest free flight bird aviary in the world.

We saw a lot of wonderful birds there – look – this one had my color!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/SA2012_0178.jpg

Can you see this colorful bird? He run away when he saw me.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0182.jpg

There were a waterfall – we walked behind it.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0184.jpg

Then we crossed this adventurous suspension bridge.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/SA2012_0187.jpg

At the end we came to the ducks, swans and other birds who live on lakes.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/SA2012_0190.jpg

These red birds were wonderful!

After visiting the birds yesterday, it was time to visit the Robberg peninsula. We saw it from our balcony.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0200.jpg

Then we were there – and behind me you can see the beach of Plettenberg Bay – and maybe our hotel far away.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0202.jpg

We took a walk on the Robberg – and had amazing views.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0206.jpg

Here you see me at the point called the Gap.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0209.jpg

Then we went to the other side of the Mountain – another nice beach.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0211.jpg

We climbed up the mountain and relaxed, hearing the sound of the ocean.

Earlier the day we saw them outside of the water – you can see them here:  hippo1 and here is a closer look. hippo2

Sometime later we saw cheetahs.

Hello Mum,

We stayed two nights in a town called Wilderness – and took walk here. It was so funny – we had to cross a river – and used this kind of boat.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0363.jpg

We had to use the roped to pull us over the river.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0366.jpg

Then we walked on this nice way.

The river looked so nice.

Then I met this beautiful guy.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0376.jpg

At the end of the trail we took a rest next to this water fall.

This was the view into the other direction.

Back on our way home we saw lovely flowers.

And the river again.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0389.jpg

Before we went back into our guest house we went to a place called maps of Africa. Can you see why?

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0392.jpg

From that place we had a great view over Wilderness and the ocean.

Red flowers in November – what a wonderful country!

Hello Mum,

We arrived in Cape Town – and went onto the Signal Hill. I had great views from it. I saw the ocean…

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0442.jpg

… the Table Mountain…

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0443.jpg

… and next to the Table Mountain was a mountain called Lion’s Head.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0444.jpg

This is the big stadium of Cape Town.   

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0450.jpg

And I saw the port with the Waterfront.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0452.jpg

I love this place!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0456.jpg

Then we went to our hotel – we had such a nice room. It was funny – there was a window between the bathroom and the living-room.

Hello from Cape Town.

Today we visited a beautiful garden near to our hotel. Look – so many colorful flowers!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0476.jpg

I loved this view with the monument, the Table Mountain and the beautiful building.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0478.jpg

This is another nice building with a wonderful garden.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0481.jpg

Then we went to the Castle of Good Hope.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0495.jpg

They had a wonderful balcony. You can see it behind me.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0484.jpg

In front of the balcony we saw the changing of the guards.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0488.jpg

Look - I saw the Table Mountain behind the Castle.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0491.jpg

Then we drove with a bus through Cape Town. We stopped at the station for the Table Mountain Cable Car and had great views!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0507.jpg

I had lovely views from the mountains around Cape Town.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0508.jpg

We continued our trip and drove along the beautiful beaches.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0525.jpg

Then we arrived at the Cape of Good Hope. First we went to a place called Cape Point. I had lovely views there.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0530.jpg

There was a beautiful small lighthouse.

Behind me you see the Cape of Good Hope.

Hi Mum,

On our way back to Cape Town we stopped at a colony of penguins. We visited another colony at the beginning of our trip – and it was nice to see penguins again.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0551.jpg

There were less penguins in this colony – but they had a beautiful beach.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0554.jpg

Our next stop was the botanical garden of Kirstenbosch. I saw nice flowers again.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0558.jpg

These ones were so funny.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0560.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0570.jpg

This is a typical tree for South Africa. They have only plants from South Africa in this garden.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0564.jpg

Behind the garden there were mountains!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0567.jpg

I am sure that you know this man – he is very famous in South Africa.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/SA2012_0568.jpg

Hello Mum,

I wish you a nice ‚Nikolaus-Tag‘.

In Germany it is normal to put the cleaned boots in front of the door – and you get sweets. Unfortunately we all had no boots – and decided to draw some.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/V_0020.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/V_0021.jpg

We wanted to wait for the Nikolaus, but he didn’t come and we felt asleep.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/V_0022.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/V_0024.jpg

The next morning we saw that he visited us in the night.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/V_0025.jpg

I was so happy!

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/V_0028.jpg

Hopefully the Nikolaus brought you something, too!

We have snow in Sülfeld at the moment.

I went to Hamburg today – and wanted to see some Christmas Decoration there. Look – what I found in the main station. There were big balls with trains and houses from different cities.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/V_0033.jpg

I especially loved the one from Hamburg – it was the biggest with the emblem of the city on it.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/V_0038.jpg

This was one of the biggest Christmas Trees in the city.

Look – what a wonderful Christmas Pyramid in such a lovely light.

There was a nice building – but I loved the carousel and the Christmas tree more.

First we met Murph and his guests – and we shared our gifts!

Then it was time to talk to Snowy the snowman and Rudi the reindeer. Santa was very busy this Christmas – so he sent his two best friends to us.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/A%2012a/V_0216.jpg

I started and sang a song. Then I performed a poem.

Hi Mom. Last week we were in Prag with Franziska,Chris and his sisters. We were on the way with the train a long time. Our journey has started in Austria(Lienz,Villach,Klagenfurt,Wien and then Czech). We have talked together and played some games in the train. ;) We have visited some nice places in Prag and the weather was always sunny. The food and the Czech Beer are very delicious :stare: They made many pictures from the Town and me. Im very happy to be in Italy with Chris and Franziska. They are very friendly and supply me good. Ok Mom, i must go to cook with Chris because Franziska is on the way. I´ll post pictures later from our holiday. I miss you :thinking:

Then we bought some tickets for the tram.

Hi Mom:) The Mokka Muffins I made are very delicious :stare:
My host dad gave me instructions how to make them fluffy and luscious. But to a Muffin u must drink a real "latte macchiato"! It´s so good and I can´t stop to eat :) I saw the pictures of Rauli yesterday, very nice and greets to him ;)

Today we made a bike tour through our village Olang. The weather was fine and I enjoyed the landscape from the bicycle basket. I saw mountains, corn fields, flowers and so on. Then we went to a celebration (called "Kirchtag" here). There were many people. Lots of them were drunk, so i prefered to stay in my hostmoms bag:)

Here is a riddle for you Mom:)
Pablo


Posted Jul 22, 2013, 8:17 pm
Hi Mom. Today we cooked a delicious meal called "potato goulash". I helped my host parents to prepare everything. I cut potatoes, zucchini, pepperoni and I spiced it. Finally I also ate the goulash. It tasted very good:)
I had to take care to not get dirty while eating. My host parents wanted me to wear a bib. B)
We took more pictures and will upload in the next days :stare:
Miss you so much Mom :)

Hi Mom. Today we went to the strawberry-land. There we collected, and of course also ate, many strawberrys. My host parents wanted to make jam and I helped them. While they collected I enjoyed the nice weather  B) We picked more than six kg strawberrys.
At home we washed them and prepared everything for the jam, but take a look at the pictures :p

Hei mom,
last sunday my host parents took me on a alp tour which lasted 7 hours. It was very exhausting. The view was wonderful as you can see. We also found some snow at almost 2000 m sea level, altough it was quite warm. We also found a flower called snow rose
We also met some cows which joined us while we were having a break  B)
There was also a runlet where I wanted to jump in to cool down  :rolleyes:
It was a great day for us three. I enjoyed it very much and I hope to can repeat it some day.

Then I was looking at window and there s some snow in Poland too :-)

Now I m going to sleep after my travel. But I can t wait to see new beautiful places :-)

I was at school today :-)  YES !  Anna is a teacher right now  and she took me today with her to show me classroom.  I really like it :-)
But I was there only when clasroom was empty ( without children ) , because Anna wanted me to be safe  :-)
When Anna was with children I was hidden in her bag.

Today I saw very beautiful house.
Gerhart Hauptmann lived here in this house . He was a winner of the of the Nobel Prize for Literature on 1912 and spent a great amount of his creative life here.
I like this big house. Anna told me that it is museum right now. I really wanted to see how it looks inside, but we were unable to visit museum today.
Anna promised me that we will visit this place again, because it looks amazing inside. We are not sure if we will be able to take pictures inside , but we will see later.

It s very cold today in Jelenia Gora. And we have some snow :-)

I was in  Jelenia Gora downtown today. I liked those nice buildings. I saw also very beautiful church.
It was really cold . I hope that weather will be much better soon.

I saw very nice building today :-) The palace in Cieplice (previously: Bad Warmbrunn) was erected between 1784 and 1788 as a residence of the Schaffgotsch family. Now the palace in Cieplice is in very good condition. Some of the original, Classicist elements (floor, paneling, plafond) have survived to this day in some of the chambers on the first floor. The palace right now  is used as an Off-campus Educational Unit. The inside of the palace may be visited by prior arrangement with the University authorities, but it is not generally open to tourists. One can also attend an academic event or an exhibition mounted in the palace.

Anna said that we will try to see this beautiful palace inside. She was there and she told me that the ball room, the Blue Room and the Mirror Room are just amazing :-) I hope I will be able to see it :-)

I was today in Cieplice with Anna s sister. Anna has a fever so she has to stay at home.

Cieplice it s a very nice part of Jelenia Gora. Cieplice is the oldest spa resort on Polish territory as its origins have faded into the dark mists of history. Throughout history the medicinal qualities if the Cieplice waters in this foothills spa centre have been appreciated by many important and famous personalities. Undoubtedly, the most important guest, along with her entire court, was Queen Maria Kazimiera Sobieska.
The thermal springs have a temperature between 37°C and 87°C and especially from the deepest wells are the hottest of their type in Poland.

That s very interesting place and many people are coming here.

And one more thing :-)  Anna promissed me to take me to very beautiful place and I will have many pictures there. Hope she will feel better very soon ...

If cross-country skiing has a capital in Poland, it is definitely in Jakuszyce. This resort located on the boarder of Karkonosze and Izerskie Mountains is a true paradise for those for whom just skiing downhill is not enough.

Jakuszyce is the highest-located part of Szklarska Poręba, where winter is so much at home, that it usually stays over till late spring. These conditions make Jakuszyce an ideal host for winter sports events, the most important being Bieg Piastów (Piast Race) - the oldest and the biggest skiing event in Poland - which draws in crowds of contestants from all over Poland and abroad. Regardless of whether you are a pro or a first timer, Jakuszce guarantees snow, well-prepared trails and wonderful sporting atmosphere - in short – all the ingredients of an ideal active winter break.

I was so happy to see this place. There was some competitions there, so I was watching. I meet some nice young people who are skiers. They were very nice and they were asking about my travels. I think they loved idea of toyvoyagers :-) We made very funny picture :-)

I meet very funny " animals " too ;-0 

Look at my pictures :-)

Anna s sister was going to travel. Me and Shorn wanted to go with her. She said that she will take us with her  :-)
When we were in Czestochowa, we haven t much time to see everything. But I have two pictures.
The city is known for the famous Pauline monastery of Jasna Góra, which is the home of the Black Madonna painting. Every year, millions of pilgrims from all over the world come to Czestochowa to see it. It s polish greatest place of pilgrimage.

We haven t time to see Jasna Góra Monastery inside. Anna s sister took pictures.  She isn t good photographer :-)

After very short visit in Czestochowa we were go to very nice meeting with our host s family.

I saw very beautiful building. Today it s a hospital, but it was a palace. 

When we were going back to Jelenia Gora- Anna said that she want to show us something very funny. There was a Upside Down House.  That was really funny :-0

I saw very nice landscape with Karkonosze mountains, but I will show you those pictures tomorrow.

Today we meet new friend. It s GiGi- very nice giraffe. We were talking about GiGi s journey to China .

We saw finally beautiful sun and we wanted to show GiGi some flowers in the garden( we were hoping they still are there after those windy days ) . Unfortunately there wasn t so many flowers as we saw before- but we find some nice ;-)

I hope weather will be better, because Anna would like to show us Chojnik castle- this castle is build on the hill. I just have to see it ;-)

Posted Apr 3, 2015, 9:44 pm
Today snow in Jelenia Gora !  It s really spring? ;-)

Of course we went outside and we were playing, but it was too cold.

Actually Anna wanted to show us Chojnik castle today, but this weather just didn t let us go to see Chojnik. This castle is on the mountain and it isn t easy road. Maybe next time...

Now we are eating some cookies witch we made before. Very delicious :-)

Today we finally were able to visit Chojnik castle :-)

It is a castle located on the hill above the town of Jelenia Gora. Today the semi-ruined stronghold is a major tourist attraction .

The castle dates back to the thirteenth cen­tury.
On August 1675 the castle was struck by lighting and the ensuingfire consumed building. Castle was never rebuild. The irony of this is that Chojnik, owing ti its location, was the only castle in Lower Silesia never to be taken.....:-)

That was really great to visit this place. Amazing, but a little bit difficult road  through the forrest.
Look at our pictures :-)
