I've finally arrived austria
It wasn't a long trip but anyway 3days are enough for a dinosaur in such a small packet! hihi
I risked a look out
The first I saw were two other TV's. They were very curious
One of them tried to touch me because he wasn't shure what I am
I was crawling outside and they seemed to be a little bit afraid because I'm a dinosaur.. but I'm not a dangerous one.. I'm very friendly and helpful
so we got friends very fast
Beside me this is Chacaice. He's from brazil.. and the chameleon on the right side is Bruce Lee. He is from texas
they are very nice guys!
Today is a cold weather outside and it is snowing so we decided to stay at home..
and have a look at some fotos from Bruce Panda. He is the TV from Claudia and is having a nice time in brazil now
Posted Feb 12, 2012, 6:53 pm
Today we went out for a walk into the city Graz. Chacaice and Bruce showed me round
This is the river Mur. It devides the city one half each.
This is an island in the middle of the river = Murinsel
We crossed island. There is a cafè on it but in winter it's unfortunately closed.
Central Graz is a mountain called Schossberg. Uphill is a tower named Uhrturm. It's the town's landmark. There are countless steps to get uphill. puuuuh exhausting
You can walk across the mountain through a tube
From the top of the mountain you can look above the city
it's very nice there in summer!
The clocktower (Uhrturm)
There is an old castle
Look mum
Berlin is 623km away..

! Weather: cloudless, 20Grad/ Hotel: very nice with panoramic view.
We went for a walk along coast S'Arenal (Ballermann ;-))
romantic :-)
Water was too cold for swimming (I didn't risk to try
) so we were playing on the beach
Behind me you can see our hotel El Cid.
Posted Mar 27, 2012, 8:04 am
You can already see Palma in the back.
Was drinking a beer
joke! hihi I was just posing with it!
Cathedral La Seu
Drank a coffee at Hard Rock Cafè Mallorca
After that we drove uphill (Claudia drove uphill and we were chilling in basket
) to the castel Belver. From there you are having a 360° panoramic view!
We are sitting atop fountain
Can you see me?

We had lunch there
and enjoyed the wonderful sight!

You can see a lot of wind wheels all over the country..
Posted Mar 27, 2012, 8:29 am
And saw a lot of sheeps eating
but I wondered.. there wasn't grass anywhere!!
Finally arrived
!
First we had a good morning coffee in the centre of Sòller!
This is the train which is connecting Palma de Mallorca and Sòller.
We drove with a very very old tramway to Port de Sòller.
Posted Mar 27, 2012, 8:30 am
mmh taste good!
Posted May 30, 2012, 10:57 am
for two weeks. It was an adventuresome trip. We crest a vulcan, visited a cacao and coffee plantage, were flying through the jungle, were riding a horse for 4hours, have met crocodiles, poisonous frogs and snakes, and have done a lot of funny things more. Because we had a very close program my new hostmum hadn't time to take a lot of pics.
One week we were spending on caribic beach and one week on pacific beach. We crossed the country with a car. The streets in costa rica are very adventuresome
we had to cross big rivers with crocodiles inside (without a brigde!).
Posted May 30, 2012, 11:08 am
! I'm in austria again. Today we went to a look-out! Was nice there. You can see the home from my hostmum if you look exactly
There is a little church beside the tower.
Posted May 30, 2012, 11:19 am
ohh a lighthouse
Mum I love the sea so much!
Mmmh a typical italian pizza!
On last day we visited Aqualandia. It's a waterpark with one of the highest water slide
42m high and 100km/h fast! But I were chicken-hearted
Here are a pics with the entrance-cards.

It was so exciting to climb out the envelope and meet my new buddy NoMi!!!
First, I was a bit shy
Look, NoMi was waiting for me
But then I climbed out and was happy to meet him and my hosts!!
Posted Sep 11, 2012, 4:05 pm
Where aaaaarrreee youuuuuu???
Posted Sep 20, 2012, 8:59 am
today, a new TV arrived. Her name is Viola and she's very cute and tiny.
NoMi and I were quite anxious to meet her
And then finally she stepped out the envelope - look at this sweetheart:
We will guard her and we are really looking forwards to our time together!
We are leaving to Ireland on Monday and I assume I won't upload anything more before departure.
But I will definitely announce myself once we're back at the beginning of October.
I love you, Mum. Take care!
Posted Oct 9, 2012, 10:00 am
we arrived Dublin late in the evening on Sep 24. Look, that's my place to be for the coming days. NoMi, Viola and myself were dry and warm and had a fantastic view out of our travel-bag
Posted Oct 9, 2012, 10:17 am
There you can find the famous "Blarney Castle" with his very famous "Blarney Stone"
The Blarney Stone (Irish: Cloch na Blarnan) is a block of bluestone built into the battlements of Blarney Castle, Blarney, about 8 kilometres from Cork. According to legend, kissing the stone endows the kisser with the gift of the gab (great eloquence or skill at flattery). The stone was set into a tower of the castle in 1446. The castle is a popular tourist site in Ireland, attracting visitors from all over the world to kiss the stone and tour the castle and its gardens.
This is the castle
And here's the stone:
We found this sign under the stone:
The gardens are beautiful
And we walked around a huge lake (Lough Blarney). Viola, NoMi and myself liked the hundreds of waterlilies

Hey, can you see us
Mizen Head (Irish: Carn Uí Néid), is located at the extremity of a peninsula in the district of Carbery in County Cork, Ireland. It is one of the extreme points of the island of Ireland, noted for its dramatic cliff scenery. One of the main transatlantic shipping routes passes close by to the south, and Mizen Head was, for many seafarers, the first (or last) sight of Europe. The tip of the peninsula is almost an island, cut off by a deep chasm, now spanned by a bridge; this gives access to an old signalling station, a weather station, and a lighthouse. The signalling station, once permanently manned, is now a museum housing displays relating to the site's strategic significance for transatlantic shipping and communications, including the pioneering efforts of Guglielmo Marconi. The "99 steps" which formed part of the original access route have been supplemented by a series of paths and viewing platforms.
Look Mum, the cliffs are impressing!
Woooooooaaaaaahhhh

The Beara Peninsula (Irish: Béarra) is a peninsula on the south-west coast of Ireland, bounded between the Kenmare "river" (actually a bay) to the north side and Bantry Bay to the south. It has two mountain ranges running down its centre: the Caha Mountains and the Slieve Miskish Mountains. The northern part of the peninsula from Kenmare to near Ardgroom is in County Kerry, while the rest forms the barony of Bear in County Cork.
Today we went hiking and Geocaching. Found it!!
Posted Oct 10, 2012, 1:40 pm
We went out hiking and found a small path to a stone circle
But first, we had to climb a huuuuuge ladder and you know what!? Tiny little Viola was the first one at the top
The landscape was absolutely beautiful
Posted Oct 10, 2012, 1:57 pm
Dursey Island (Irish: Baoi Bhéarra or Oileán Baoi) lies at the southwestern tip of the Beara Peninsula. It is 6.5 km long and 1.5 km wide. The island is separated from the mainland by a narrow stretch of water called Dursey Sound which has a very strong tidal race, with a reef of rocks in the centre of the channel which is submerged at high tides.
The island is connected to the mainland by Ireland's only cable car, and the only cable car which goes over sea water in Europe! Dursey has no shops, pubs or restaurants. The population is about 6 people.
And you know what - they used the cable car to bring sheep to the island some years ago!

Moll's Gap is a pass on the N71 road from Kenmare to Killarney in County Kerry Ireland. The area is a panoramic spot on the Ring of Kerry route, with views of the Macgillycuddy's Reeks mountains. The rocks at Moll's gap are formed of Old Red Sandstone.
Moll's Gap is named after Moll Kissane.

We stopped on the bridge between the Muckross Lake and Lough Leane to take a picture
- see below.
It's located in Killarney National Park. Killarney National Park (Irish: Páirc Náisiúnta Chill Airne) is located beside the town of Killarney. It was the first national park established in Ireland. The park encompasses over 102.89 km2 (25,425 acres) of diverse ecology, including the Lakes of Killarney, Oak and Yew woodlands of international importance, and mountain peaks. It has Ireland's only native herd of Red Deer and the most extensive covering of native forest remaining in Ireland. The park is of high ecological value because of the quality, diversity, and extensiveness of many of its habitats and the wide variety of species that they accommodate, some of which are rare. The park was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1981.

The Cliffs of Moher (Irish: Aillte an Mhothair) are located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region. They rise 120 metres (390 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head, and reach their maximum height of 214 metres (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower, eight kilometres to the north.
O'Brien's Tower is a round stone tower near the midpoint of the cliffs built in 1835 by Sir Cornelius O'Brien to impress female visitors. From the cliffs and from atop the watchtower, visitors can see the Aran Islands in Galway Bay, the Maumturks and Twelve Pins mountain ranges to the north in County Galway, and Loop Head to the south.
Here's the famous O'Brien's Tower

The Burren (Irish: Boireann, meaning "great rock") is a karst-landscape region or alvar in northwest County Clare. It is one of the largest karst landscapes in Europe. The region measures approximately 250 square kilometres. It is bounded by the Atlantic and Galway Bay on the west and north, respectively.
A small portion of the Burren has been designated as Burren National Park. It is one of only six National Parks in the Republic of Ireland and the smallest in size (15 km²).
Of course, we visited the famous Poulnabrone Dolmen.
Poulnabrone Dolmen (Poll na mBrón in Irish meaning "hole of the quern stones") is a portal tomb in The Burren, dating back to the Neolithic period, probably between 4200 BC to 2900 BC. The dolmen consists of a twelve-foot, thin, slab-like, tabular capstone supported by two slender portal stones, which lift the capstone.

Kylemore Abbey (Irish: Mainistir na Coille Móire) is a Benedictine monastery founded in 1920 on the grounds of Kylemore Castle. The abbey was founded for Benedictine Nuns who fled Belgium in World War I.
It was an absolutely fantastic trip through Ireland and we had a lot of fun and impressing experiences there.

My hosts decided spontaneously to drive to Paris to celebrate New Years Eve in front of the Eiffel-Tower. And the best part is, I was there too.
I saw many interesting buildings like "Hôtel des Invalides", "Notre-Dame", "Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile", "Musée de Louvre", "Opéra-Garnier", "Sacré Coeur" and of course the "Eiffel-Tower"!
Posted Jan 31, 2013, 4:55 pm
But I don't want to stay long. Please dear reader, host me
. It would make me sooo happy!
PS: Thank you, Kuhbert, for showing me the Eiffel Tower
. And thanks for the little souvenir to remind me of my fulfilled life mission, wohoo!
Many greetings

Posted Jun 7, 2013, 4:47 pm
I arrived safe and sound my new host and met some other TV's and two cats.
We even made a trip, but unluckily the batteries of the camera were down and we had none to replace them.
But yesterday we were lucky, we catched a good sunset. We went up the hill to the "Dreifaltigkeitsberg" (which means Trinity Hill), which is 985 meters above sealevel.
There is a monastery and church, first founded in the year 1415 as a little chappel. Later in the 17th century, the church was built and enlarged through the years.
A good view downhill on the city of "Spaichingen".
While the sun went down, we went for a walk through a field of flowers. Because there were already lots of shadow, you may not see clearly how beautiful all those flowers were. But believe me, they were.
As the sun went deeper to the horizon, we changed position again.
Look I'm eating the sun!
What a calmfull evening!
Posted Jun 7, 2013, 5:34 pm

yesterday we made a trip through the "Simonswälder Tal" which is a beautiful valley. Lots of motorcyle riders love to drive there because of all the curves and the nice view.
That's what I call a black forest! Fir trees make this forest looking dark and it must have been a frightfull place in former ages.
Look at those old and typical farmhouses
On this sign you can read whats the name of the three valleys and in which direction they are when you look around from this spot.
View up the hill, some fields of grass, some birch trees, but mostly fir trees.
Some group pictures of me and the TV-gang.

this weekend our host and her roommate invited us to join them while making strawberry marmelade.
Look how many strawberries we had bought.
They looked very delicious.
First we washed them in a bowl of water.
Then we cut them and took of the leafs.
Later we put them in a cooking pot. And then put in special sugar.
Just a few minutes boiling
and the marmelade was ready to be put in jam jars.
See how much jars we filled?
We were allowed to taste a bit. Yummie! I'm looking forward to next breakfast.
I wanna eat that much

as promised Biggi took us for a walk in the sorrounding area of the hospital.
We found a nice garden area
with nice yellow flowers
Then Lavender Bear smelled a familiar scent and found:
LAVENDER!
Some nice little white bush roses
Then we found climbing roses. As we wanted to sniff we climbed up there
After that we took a break on a bench
and I took a sunbath on a big leaf
Before we had to go back, we climbed on lots of branches to get a better view.
