Hei all out there,

today I'd like to introduce the other "toyvoyagers" in my family to you.
First there is Lucy, the lila / white cow, she is fairly old and is travelling with Mummy and Daddy since many years. The Racon is called Felix and he is nearly as old as Lucy, they mostly travel together. The little christmas bear is called "Weihnachtsbär" or just Weihny he was adopted at the beautifull country of Iceland in 2009.  The youngest of the group is the Inuit, called Nanuk. They go on tour with Mummy and Daddy a lot. And they promised me, that I can come with them when I am at home and not travelling on my own.

Hei,

It's christmas time now. Today will be the opening of the Christkindlesmarkt in Nürnberg. Mum and Dad took me to there, but they told me, we wont look at the opening ceromony, because of the many many people that are there at that time. So we just looked a bit around at the part where the twin towns of Nürnberg have there place.

We saw the 2 stage coaches, that travel around at the city during christmas time.

At the stand of Atlanta / USA I took a photo with the toys they are selling there. Oh this cute frog ...

At the special stand of Sri Lanka, I took a photo with some wooden toys from there for you.

We have been at the christmas-market again one day.
Another day we have been at the cinema. What an interessting place for me ;)

At midday on 29th December we left for my naext adventure ...

Hei,

today at aroung 1 pm we started our journey to Kiel. Mum told me, it is in the north of Germany. When we arrived it was nearly dark night and raining.

After going to our hotel and putting our luggage to our room, we have been hungry and went to a restaurant called Vapiano.
This is an interessting restaurant. When you get in you get a card. With this card you order the the desk what you want to eat and then you get a something that vibrates when your meal is ready for pickup. When you want to leave, you give the card to the cash desk and pay.

After our dinner we went back to the hotel using "the dry way". At Kiel they have a big shopping mall. A nice way and interessting thinks to see inside. Although all shops have been closed, I had fun. I play hide and seek ;)

I had a really nice day. And I'm so excited ... Mum told me that we will travel with a big ship ...

Hei,

my day started with breakfast at the hotel. The breakfast-room is at the 10th floor. We took a place at the window and had a great view. We saw the Stena Line ferry reaching the harbour.

The rain had stopped and so we had a short walk through the city after our breakfast. At noon we had to be at the Color Line Terminal for check in .

We had to wait more than 1 hour until we could step on the ship. That was boring.

Finally on board we first have been at our cabin and then went to the sundeck to be outside for the departure. Leaving Kiel we had great weather with blue sky. At the Kieler Förde we have seen many kite-surfer.

When we had left the Kieler Förde, we went down, to look at what is going on inside the ship.

Looking forward to tomorrow. Where will we bee then ....

Hei,

today we awaked at sea. We soon reached the Oslo Fjord, so we are in Norway now. My first foreign country ... We have been on deck before the arrival. We reached Oslo at around 10 o'clock. We started our day at Oslo soon after arrival. The weather was not really good, it was very windy ... And we had a cloudy sky. 

At the Colorline-Terminal there is a geocache so we look for it, and soon found it.

We went to the city and did some sightseeing. Mum showed me the "Stortinget", the norwegian house of parliament. she told me that she has been inside some time ago and that it is a really nice building.

At around 1 pm, we went to Holmenkollen by Metro. There is a big ski-jump.

The first interessting thing we found up at the hill, was the eternal flame, it looks really nice.

After that we walked up to the ski-jump, where we met "Bikkja i bakken".
Closed to the ski-jump there is the Rica-Hotel, that is a very nice building.

Then it was time to go back to the ship, where we passed the evening and the silvester-night.

Hi  Mom
Egni and her hubby went to the Landesmuseum Zürich, where there was an exhibition of fairy tales. And what to you think I saw first?

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-TG3ufcxwqnY/UvklKTbhbpI/AAAAAAAAmak/o413Fuov9IA/s800/19.jpg

My book! Okay it's from my ancestors, but I was so happy to found it there.
I hadn't eyes and ears for all the other things.

After we had visited the special exhibition we walked through the permanent exhibition and I was fascinated by a very old giant globe.

For me it was boring!  :(

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-chMbPamAhd8/UvklNQmL-KI/AAAAAAAAmbQ/Y-egFJEaT_s/s800/22.jpg
So I had a walk to the kitchen, where somebody had to work. Surely I helped him drying the dishes.

Before the participants listen to a speech, they had dessert.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Q4fOhq9wlJc/UvklLPbGpWI/AAAAAAAAma4/DXH2BfdwRSk/s800/23.jpg
Yummy!

I choosed this two pieces of cake. But of cause, egni had to help me. It was to much.

During she was eating I jumped along the table, just into a glas of water. From this amount, I admired the decoration on the table.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-0kSZlm9MDc4/UvklLfWWalI/AAAAAAAAma8/2Yt3uhRsYlQ/s800/24.jpg

Hi Mom, Mom
You never guess what happened to me today.
With egni and her friends I went to Bad Oeynhausen. First we go to a takeaway, where the best grilled sausage of B.O. can be eaten. And we eat it. Yummy.
After this we went to the "Deutsches Märchen- und Wesersagenmuseum", where the curator give us some instructions and than we had a look to the exhibition.

Today is the last day with egnis friend. So in the morning we went to Bünde, for looking and may be shopping something. It's a nice little town with a pedestrian zone.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-F6CUFPE3zu0/Uy3iB-wmY1I/AAAAAAAAm3k/hDeRquTiHhs/s800/43.jpg

And this is the 'Denkmal Steinmeister und Wellensiek'. They were the founder of the cigar-industry in this part of Germany.

In the afternoon we packed our bags, as we were starting to our next location. On our way we stopped at the Dümmer See.

They once had stolen the eggs from other penguins, to have children for their own. Poor little men.

Of course egni had to buy some postcards.

This weekend my friend Owl Olga have been at Absberg at the Brombachsee in the south of Germany. On this sunny, but not to worm Saturday we made a cycling Geocache-Tour around the little Brombachsee. There is a cache-serie called "Entenjagd" which is made really nice, a great round and we found all that could be found. One was disapeared.
Mummy put us on the handlebar of her bike and so we had a great view ;)
On the way we have seen some wild pigs (behind a fence), too.

Today was our second day at the Brombachsee, a nice day, too, but a bit more windy.
Put again on the handlebar of Mummys bike, we started for a long cycling tour along the store Brombachsee.
Our first stop was at Mandlesmuehle, this is the last remaining mill of 11 mills that have been at that Area, before the lake have been build. Today there is an infocenter in there.
On our way along the lake, we had some more stops.
We found a sign of a pilgrimsway and an eastern fontain.
The greatest thing this day was our round-trip with MS Brombachsee, a big trimaran, I think it is unique ...
On bord that ship we had hot chocolade and cake, found a beach chair to relax and enjoyed the view of the landscape.
What a great day ...

At the shop of Niederecker Marzippan, I met some relatives.  And found a great ship to take a photo with.

We've passed the day at the ferry Nils Holgerson, the sea was calm and we had a good journey. We've been on the sea around 8 hours and so we had enough time to look around and play a bit.

There have been little pirates on the ship. You can see some signs of them on some of the photos. But we tried to keep away from them.

This morning we made a short visit at the museum before we travelled on to our ferry for the Aland Islands. On the ferry Luigi Palermo, Anna Pineapple, Milky and me made a short photosession.

Yeah, my host showed me a new place at the Baltic Sea: Warnemünde. It is a part of the city of Rostock and a beautiful seaside resort.

We started our walk at the canal "Alter Strom". Here were a lot of restaurants and fishing boats. I was very relieved that Luigi wasn't with us...

Then we strolled to the light on the west mole, the lighthouse and the beach. It was a great sunny day and I enjoyed the beach so much :)

Hello guys,

my host turtles and I did a bicycle tour on the Baltic Sea - as turtles said, it is her favourite tour. 50 kilometres in a beautiful landscape with blooming rapeseed and along the coast. We met vintage cars, beach chairs and horses. It was a great ride!

In Bad Schwartau a vintage car ralley started and I had a look at some nice cars. But this De Lorean had no flux capacitor, I checked it twice!

Some participants were a little bit naughty...

Then we reached the coast. Look at my place during the ride. Very comfortably.

After this exciting match turtles cycled back home on a nice road  and I tasted the sweet smell of the rapeseed.

Today we finally started. Luigis dad drove us to the airport and Luigi, F.M. Baer and I got our boarding passes to Las Vegas. Yes, you are reading correctly, I will visit the USA. How exciting.
We flew first from Hamburg to Zürich and then to Las Vegas on Edelweiss air. The flight took 10 hours, but there were always delicious little things to eat and in the board cinema we could watch movies. Time runs very quickly.

After we arrived at the hotel we were very tired. But the next morning we conquered the city. We had a Hop-on-hop-off tour with the Big Bus:

We had a "Hop-off" at the Golden Nugget Casino, because turtles would like to see this flying peoples at the Freemont Street....but then Luigi was suddenly gone. We found him at a roulette table in the Golden Nugget.  :o

We continued our ride and had a look at the Stratosphere Tower and the Mirage. And we saw many of the famous wedding chapels:

We stoped our ride near the airport and picked up our rental car at Alamo.
At the evening we visited the Bellagio again and looked at the beautiful fountains in front of it. It was amazing.

Our destination today was Three Rivers, located near the entrance to Sequoia National Park. But first we drove to the Death Valley National Park, known for  colorful rocks and Badwater Basin, North America's lowest point.
During our trip it got hotter and hotter. In the end wie had 121 degrees F. Almost 50 degrees C. But the landscape was great. We had a good view from Dantes Peak, nice, colorful rocks all around and especially at Artist Point.

Look at the great colors behind Luigi and me. Due to this colors, they call it Artist Point.
After this, we bought some postcards at the visitor center and drove to Three Rivers.

Yesterday we arrived late at our Motel. But we were so curious about the Giant Sequoia Trees that we started early the last miles to the National Park.
The ranger at the entrance was very friendly as usual and gave us a map of the park. So we could find the largest known tree on earth (by volume): General Sherman. It has an estimated age of 2,300–2,700 years, an estimated bole volume of 1,487 m3 and a height of 83.8 meters.
The drive to General Sherman was amazing. The road wound up and the scenery was so beautiful. At some point we saw the first Sequoia trees and were immediately in love with the bright brown trunks. Birds twittered and butterflies fluttered around our car.
On the pictures you see, how giant this wonderful trees are.

We continued our road trip to the coast. After passing millions of almond trees and another small, wound road we saw Big Sur and the highway CA-1. Awesome!

Posted Jul 5, 2018, 2:12 pm
We started this day with a good tea and a healthy breakfast. Jesse, our host for the night, gave us helpful hints for exploring Monterey and the surrounding. Turtles said, that we had too less time for this beautiful scenery and decided, that we have a short look to Monterey and then do the 17-Mile Drive, a scenic road on the Monterey Peninsula. After that we would drive to San Francisco and the famous Golden Gate Bridge.
That sounds like a lot of fun for today.

Our first day in San Francisco.
We drove to Presidio, to have a nice view at the Golden Gate Bridge. But then, a big shock, the battery of turtles Nikon was empty. And as the blister at her heel hurted like fire, we decided to drive to the Half Moon Bay for a lazy day on the beach.

We took the Cable Car for the ride to the waterfront and we had a great view to San Francisco at Pier 14.
