chrissini Posted Jan 13, 2008, 1:24 pm	HI! my name is lillebi. although i'm very young i want to travel around the world. as you can see, i'm not very big, so i easily fit into an bubble envelope and travelling is not so expensive. currently, i'm staying in the beautiful austrian city graz, where my mother lives. i would be very happy if you want to host me. yours, lillebi
chrissini Posted Jan 16, 2008, 11:44 am	So, my mom told me that i will be leaving soon to go to the netherlands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeahyeah, i'm excited.... the netherlands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so great!! right now we are packing all my things, so that the journey can begin.
chrissini Posted Jan 16, 2008, 4:46 pm	soooooooooo, i'm right now on my way to Dorenda. i hope i'll arrive soon, it's so dark and small in here...
Dorenda Posted Jan 19, 2008, 7:25 pm	Woohoo... I am in the Netherlands already!! That was a short trip I was so happy to get out of that envelope!! The family welcomed me and made me feel at home immediately. Sem, the little boy of this family, started playing with me at once. We drove around in his car, played with his table and watched TV together. We already had so much fun! Well, I am very tired of the trip so I am off to bed. I will update you all very soon! Hugs, Lillebi
Dorenda Posted Jan 21, 2008, 6:46 pm	Today we went to a typical Dutch pancakes restaurant. It was raining all day so we decided to make a trip and eat some pancakes on the way. You can see the restaurant here. Sem got a pancake shaped like a bear and he gave me some of it too! Mmmmm... This was the first foreign food I ate on my world tour. I hope lots will follow. Speak to you soon. Hugs, Lillebi
Dorenda Posted Jan 21, 2008, 6:54 pm	Today I met a fellow ToyVoyager Frida. Frida is staying at the home of Dorenda's (= my mum for now) sister. We only met briefly because both mums were very busy. But they promissed us to do something nice, real soon. Hugs, Lillebi
Dorenda Posted Feb 17, 2008, 4:21 pm	Today we went to a store were they sell furniture and stuff. Rather boring, you would think, but I saw this great girly bed of K3. K3 is a Belgium band of three girls, which is very popular with kids in the Netherlands and Belgium. It's very girly so I liked it a lot.
Dorenda Posted Feb 17, 2008, 4:28 pm	Today we went to the bakery to get some Miffy bread. Miffy is a rabbit from the Netherlands which is very popular worldwide. The Miffy bread is good for children because of all extra additions. But most of all... it tastes good.....
Dorenda Posted Feb 23, 2008, 1:53 pm	Today it was a rather warm day here. So we took off for a trip. We went to Giethoorn. Giethoorn is a small village with lots of water, bridges and boats. They also call it Dutch Venice. Normally it's very touristic but now there is this winter silence. We enjoyed us very much. Here are some pictures. Do you see all the little bridges? That's all for now. Bye!
Dorenda Posted Apr 5, 2008, 12:16 pm	There still are miracles!!! We had a white Easter, how about that. There was also another TV visiting us, her name is Hippity and I played with her in the snow. Then we ate our chocolate eggs mmmmm....
Dorenda Posted Apr 5, 2008, 12:19 pm	Well, I had a great time here with Sem and the rest of the family but I want to see more of this world I am off to Eva in Alkmaar, the Netherlands. I have heard they have lots of cheese there. I will let you know when I get there. Hugs, Lillebi
Eryah Posted Apr 7, 2008, 1:45 pm	Hello! I arrived in Alkmaar today. I gonna make pictures as soon as possible and show them to you here on my travellog. Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted Apr 7, 2008, 5:11 pm	Hello! I finally have some time to show you my pictures. When i arrived the others were a little bit scared. Two days ago an other TV arrived and scared the others a lot! Instead of jump out of the envelope he kicked his helmet out. The others weren't expected that so they frightened to death. When i came out the others were releived! This are from the left to the right: Iggy-Korn, Meleleuca, Snowy and Palmeke It's a very funny group! After that i meet the pets except for Dharma the little puppy but that's because he is walking now with the mother of Eva. This fluffy cat is Isis. She is so sweet! But she sleeps all day long This is Luna. She is a cat that is scared of everything, the poor thing. So she run away the whole time for me This is Mammoet the rabbit. He is such a sweet guy! We talked for hours about almost everything. This is Merlijn the guinea pig. He make funny sounds the whole. If you hear that you are happy right away And now the big news! Iggy-Korn watched me the whole time. I think he likes me a lot. Suddenly he walked to me and kissed me.. I didn't expect this at all, but he's a good kisser. We talked for a long time and we have a lot in common. Who knows what gonna happen the next days. I keep you posted about this little romance  Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted Apr 7, 2008, 6:11 pm	Here i am for the last time today but Dharma came back so i could make a picture of us. He is very cute as you can see, but he wants to play and bites you then. So you have to watch out because his teeth are very sharp. I'm gonna sleep now because i'm very tired of all this new imprissions. Big hugs
Eryah Posted Apr 9, 2008, 5:31 pm	Hello! Today was the first sunny day we had in months here in the Netherlands so there's only one thing we really have to do: get a tan! At the end of this week they predict rain again so this was our change. Hopefully tomorrow we can enjoy the sun again. Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted Apr 10, 2008, 6:33 pm	Hello! Today we said goodbye to Meleleuca, Palmeke and Snowy. They are all gonna leave here tomorrow. Now i'm alone with Iggy-Korn here... Because of their goodbye we ate a typical dutch snack: patat, kroketten and kaassoufle. It was delicious! Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted Apr 11, 2008, 12:48 pm	Hello! Today we visit the cheesemarket here in Alkmaar. You can find there all kind of typical dutch things and sites. I was so much fun to see! I had a great time!! Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted Apr 13, 2008, 10:43 am	Hello! Today we went to the woods of Bergen. Bergen is a village near Alkmaar and is known as an artistic village. Here i am enjoying the view in the woods. It's really beautifull there! Iggy-Korn and i also enjoy each other in this romantic spot. Luckely for us the weather was nice and sunny. Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted Apr 14, 2008, 6:22 pm	Hello! Today we made a testdrive in a Renault megane scenic. That was pretty cool to do but Eva and her mom decided not to buy the car. So in the next few days we maybe gonna make a lot off testdrives in cars. After that i want to drive something myself so Eva decided to learn me how to ride on a bike. It was scary! But i also love to do it! Fortunate for me the bike has wheels on the frame. So i kept well in balance. Look at me mum! You feel the wind and you can go fast if you want. I notice that in Holland they do not wear helmets for your safety. Everybody here rides on a bike and the people learn it to there children almost before they can walk. I looked my eyes out. Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted Apr 17, 2008, 6:50 pm	Hello! Today we let one of Iggy-Korns dreams come true. He really want an earring so Eva decided to shoot one. I comfort him the whole time and i think it's very cool of him to do this. i also found it a little bit scary to see but he said it doesn't hurt at all. Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted Apr 17, 2008, 6:55 pm	Hello! We've got a lot of sunshine! So we sit in the garden a lot at the moment because Eva isn't feeling to well, but tomorrow we are gonna do something else. But for us it doesn't matter at all. You can find a lot here in the garden! Truly, madly, deeply in love Eva lives in a house by the water so you see a lot of birds around here. One of the ducks have baby's! They are so sweet and we give them bread today. And we play a lot in the sand Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted Apr 17, 2008, 6:58 pm	Hello! A new TV arrived today. Iggy-Korn and i watch the envelope and were very excited who can be in it. Suddenly a black something stormed out of the envelope saying it was very hot in the envelope. I can imagine that because of the sun. We found him by the door to the garden and took him outside. It is Bene!!! It is so great to see him also here. I'm sure we gonna have a great time together here in Alkmaar Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted Apr 18, 2008, 3:04 pm	Hello! Today we went to the ruinechurch in Bergen. This picturesque ruin church in Bergen once was the biggest church in Noord-Holland. From the 16th century church there is only a ruin left now, because the Beggars started a fire here. Only the choir of the church was rebuilt, so from the original church you can now only see the ruins. In the village Bergen in Noord-Holland there are many beautiful old houses situated around the old village church. Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted Apr 19, 2008, 5:06 pm	Hello! A new TV arrived today. And again we were all very curious about who it was Even Dharma was curious and come with us to watch this newbe The TV in the envelope was scared to come out of it because he is a little bit shy. We comfort him and it worked. He came out of the envelope. This is Willy wau He's a very sweet dog so i think we gonna be great friends! Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted Apr 21, 2008, 10:26 pm	Hello! Today we asked Eva to tell us everything she know about Alkmaar. She told us some funny stories! Alkmaar is above all Holland's cheese town. During the season from the first Friday of April to the first Friday of September a traditional cheese market is being held here on Friday mornings between 10 and 12.30. The cheeses are sold by dealers on a clap of hands. Thereupon the 400 year old cheese porters' guild goes into action, carrying the cheese off on barrows after the lot has been weighed at the Waag (the official scales). In the Waaggebouw - in which the scales are housed - a cheese museum that tells everything about dairy farming has been established. Cheese has been weighed in Alkmaar since 1635. Alkmaar is historical with around 400 monuments. The Waag, dating back in its earliest form to the 14th century, the 16th century town-hall, Grote St. Laurens Church and the many courtyards, facades and canals give the town an ambience all of its own. With the past as a setting, the town has a modern stock of shops offering a wide choice. Besides the predominantly small shops in the old centre, the Noorder Arcade with large scale shopping facilities stands by the side of the Noord Holland Canal. Alkmaar is the biggest town in the region. Relaxation can also be found in the Geestmerambacht recreational area close by. Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted Apr 23, 2008, 6:12 pm	Hello! Today we take a walk in the duines of Hargen aan zee. Hargen is a village near Alkmaar and it's near the Nordsea. On our way to it we saw a lot of duines and dikes. Here we are driving trought the forest of Schoorl, also a village near Alkmaar. Duines... Dikes... Strange animals behind the sheepes.. And here i am in the duines! This is the view we had in the duines. If you look cloesely you can see the sea above the dikes: Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted Apr 23, 2008, 6:24 pm	Hello! Also a new TV arrived today. When we got home from our walk we found a paper that said there was a package for Eva delivered by her neighbours. The package was very big so we all were wondering what could be in that big box. It was very strange to see a small beer walked out of the box. Why such a big box for such a small animal? But suddenly Bene shouted that the beer was attached to a string. There was one more in the box! It is Davy with his little friend! Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted Apr 25, 2008, 5:45 pm	Hello! Today we stayed home and discover a lot here. First we enjoyed the sun and suddenly two dogs came to us. We didn't notice them before and they told us they wanna become a toyvoyager also. We drink tea with them and told us al about our adventures. Eva made eggs and bread for us and it was very delicious! After that we wanna see what we can find in the house. I found some dwarfs and they told me i can find a fantasy world here if i want. I ask them were i can find it but the only thing they did was point to the book closet. First i had no clue what they meant with that but we all decided to take a look at the novels in the closet. We found a lot off novels written by Stephen King. We talked about his stories about good and evil and suddenly we realised what the dwarfs tied to tell us. If you read a book you are in a fantasy world! This are books about Appie and his friends. As a child Eva her dad read this stories to her and they are very old. You can't find them in the stores anymore. The books look old and smell old so it was very excited to read them. After that we found some treasure chests. In each of that chest we found fairytales and classic stories. This was so much fun to see! Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted Apr 27, 2008, 11:05 am	Hello! I start with the good news. Eva decided to do something for us yesterday evening. We had no clue what it was because she showed us a strange thing: We go to bed and were thinking what i can be and when we got out of bed this morning we finally saw what is was: It is a pool! Today they predict a very sunny and hot day so Eva thought it would be a great idea to give us something fresh and funny. But the bad news is: They were wrong! It's very cloudy Hopefully the sun will show itself today so we can play in the pool. Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted Apr 29, 2008, 4:24 pm	Hello! Today was such a rainy day. It was such a pitty because we wanna do something outside. Hopefully the weather is better tomorrow. Eva wanna cheer us up so she made my favorite meal: patat, kroketten and kaassoufle. Eva also had a very delicious desert for us, chocolate mousse!! Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted Apr 30, 2008, 1:50 pm	Hello! Today it's queensday here in the Netherlands. We are celebrating the dutch queen her birthday. Beatrix is the name of the dutch queen but it isn't her date of birth. 30th april is the birthday of her mother Juliana. But she never changed it in her one date of birth. Most of the people wear orange clothes today because it's our national color. On the streets you eyes get hurt of all the orange. But of course i can't stay behind and wear an orange bandana today This morning the queen visit Makkum and Franeker. Two cities in the north of the Netherlands. We watched in on the tv. Queen Beatrix and Maxima wear pink today. Every year they have the most funny hats on their head. Here Bea (Beatrix), Willem Alexander (Willempie) and Maxima are singing 'het Wilhelmus', the dutch song. So today it's party time! I will update again today because this wasn't the only party we had today. Big hugs Lillebi p.s. Don't they look adoreble?
Eryah Posted Apr 30, 2008, 2:13 pm	Hello! Here i am again. Like i said queensday wasn't the only thing we celebrate today. It's also Bene his birthday! How great is that? You are in Holland and at your birthday the dutch people party. First we sing for him: After that we gave him his presents we bought sneaky for him this week and off course wrapped up in orange paper: tadaaaaaaaaaa!!! Real Nijntjes. Nijntje is a rabbit from a novel for children. Bene was very glad with it! After that we decided to play games. First we played poker (texas hold em). It was very excited to play! After a while we wanna do an other game so we played Wie is de ezel (who's the donkey). It's a verry funny games with cards. Now we are gonna dance!!! Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted May 1, 2008, 6:37 pm	Hello! Today we went to Den Helder to visit Eva her grandma. Den Helder has ever started with the arising of Huisduinen, a whaler village. Gradually it developed into Den Helder which we know now. A city which was built within the linies of the forten. Later formed a number of districts there around. The space between the different town parts is characteristic. Den Helder is a city with a strongly maritime screen. Sea-going, the rescue being, the offshore and the royal Navy natural. The Navy has stipulated many years' the image of Den Helder. But the Navy shrank in, Den Helder threatened to become a city with no face. By nourishing the culturehistory , the tales of the seaman and with that the coherent heroiek Den Helder has rediscovered its own core values. Eva told me this while i was watching the ship-building yard. When you look at the end of the picture you can see some old ships that were used in the war. But they still use this ships for other wars and peace missions. Here you see the submarine in the shipyard. Here we are watching the Nordsea. It was such a bright day today that you even can see Texel! After the shipyard we watched the flowerbulb fields. They are famous here in Holland. We were very lucky because in this time of year you can see all the bright colours of it. Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted May 2, 2008, 12:45 pm	Hello! Yesterday was my last evening here in Alkmaar. Times really flies when you having fun. Eva organised a surpriseparty for me and Iggy-Korn because it was also his last night here. Suddenly the doorbel rings. When we opened the door Lejow stood there! That was a very big surprise. She wasn't alone. Here are Sylphide, Tony and Meleleuca!!!!!! Great to see him again! We talked a lot in the garden and everybody wanna tell their story so before we know the sun was down. That night we played on the wii for a long time but unfortunatelly the pictures failed. That's really a pitty! After a long evening full of fun we sleep together and this morning it was time for one last picture of the whole group. Big hugs Lillebi
Eryah Posted May 2, 2008, 1:02 pm	Hello! This is my last post from Alkmaar. I had such a great time here! When you read this update i'm at the postoffice were Eva brought me to. It was also time to say goodbye to my friends. It was so great to meet everybody and i hope i see them again on our trails. Who knows. Maybe our pads will cross again. Bye sweet Davy. We didn't see each other for a long time but in this short days i met him he become a dear friend of mine. Bye little Willy Wau. He's such a sweet and funny dog. I'm gonna miss him a lot. Bye naughty Bene. It was so great to see him on my trail. I hope he's having a great trail too. And last but not least: Bye my love! I'm gonna miss Iggy Korn the most. He became my friend and lover. It was very hard to say goodbye to him but i know it's better. We both have things to do on our trail and maybe we can write each other. But in the weeks i get to know him he showed me how love can be. Our last hug Play with each other for the last time Our last kiss..... Allthought i'm a little bit sad now, i'm also looking forward to move on. USA here i come!!!!! Big hugs Lillebi

masucci Posted Jul 8, 2008, 1:53 pm	Hi there!  I arrived in Madison today, visiting Melissa! Here I am coming in the door to Melissa's apartment! Today I met Lemony,  who arrived a couple days ago and Éireannach, who got here yesterday.  First group shot!  We're on the leather furniture in the living room... And here we are climbing around some silly decoration stuff
masucci Posted Jul 10, 2008, 11:08 pm	Today we went to the Olbrich Botanical Gardens with Melissa and two of her friends.  She says the layout of the flowers changes all the time - she went in early May and it was all tulips, and now it's a lot of roses and stuff. The first place we went to was the Thai Pavilion, Melissa's favorite part of the whole Botanical Garden.  It's a very beautiful pavilion sent to the park from Thailand.  It's decorated with gold leaf and very intricate details. You can see some of the gold leaf detail in this photo.  It's on all of the pillars and the inside and outside of the roof.  Sooo pretty! Look!  As we were leaving, one of the Thai statues grabbed me!  Don't worry though, they were just saying 'hi'!  I didn't get hurt at all On our way away from the pavilion, we spotted a lost toy!  The three of us wanted to adopt her as a new toyvoyager, but Melissa said there was probably a little girl at the gardens somewhere with her parents that was missing it.  So we left it there to be claimed. While everyone else was out in the sun, I was the smart one.  I found somewhere with shade! Here we are resting in an area with waterfalls and rocks and lots of interesting landscaping.  We didn't get many good pictures in this area, unfortunately, because the birds were nesting there and they attacked everyone that got too close!  It was crazy! Close up! Miss you!  Next stop: the Capitol Building!
Szandra Posted Sep 11, 2008, 10:39 pm	Hello from Hungary!!! I'm already here for some days ago, but I arrived when my host was on holiday, so I had to wait a little to update my travelog. I'm fine and today we had beautiful sunny day, so I decided to discover the house and the garden! At first I got to know some pets: Karcsi the cat, two dogs called Ali and Barni, one of the pet rats, Pali and finally I visited the rabbits outside. But as I heard, there are still some animals... I hope later I can meet with them too. I enjoyed walking thru the garden, I saw a lot of flowers and finally when I got tired, I relaxed on the bridge of the little garden-lake. I was looking for some goldfishes...but they hid. Tomorrow we'll travel to Budapest. Talk to you soon!
Szandra Posted Sep 17, 2008, 5:28 pm	I spent a few days in Budapest, in the capital of Hungary. We went for a little excursion and our first stop was the Heroes square. I heard that it was built in 1896 to celebrate the millennium of the Hungarian conquest of the Carparthian Basin. And the square is flanked on either side by the Museum of Fine Arts and the Palace of Art.
Szandra Posted Sep 17, 2008, 5:41 pm	Than we went to see the Vajdahunyad Castle. Its various parts illustrate the different styles of Hungarian architecture. Derived its name from the wing facing the lake, which is an imitation of the Castle of Vajdahunyad in Transylvania. There is also a nice park with a lake. I enjoyed walking around it. Now, it was very calm, but Szandra told that in summer time it is more crowded, when there are a lot of tourists.
Szandra Posted Sep 17, 2008, 5:53 pm	While we were walking to our next destination I found a little fountain. And on the opposite side of the street I realized the Széchenyi thermal bath. As this is the largest spa complexes in Europe, I wanted to go inside to swim a little... but it was too cold outside, so we rather wanted to hurry back home!!
Szandra Posted Sep 17, 2008, 5:58 pm	Finally a short walk in the City Park. I saw there a lot of ducks!
Szandra Posted Sep 17, 2008, 6:28 pm	When we arrived back to Szandra's apartment, we lighted a lot of candles and relaxed! Than I realized a nice butterfly hanging down from the chandelier and I played with her until I got totally tired and went to sleep.
Szandra Posted Sep 29, 2008, 6:46 pm	Sziasztok!!! This means, "hi" in Hungarian! I'm doing fine! I have got a good friend, Skippy, who is also a toyvoyager! Here are some photos about our trip to the Buda Castle. I read in Skippy's travelog that he wrote some details, so I also tell you the things we heard about that place. This was the residence of Hungarian kings. The fortification system and palace, built in the 13th century and being renewed from time to time symbolizes the country itself. It's a pity that the Mathias Church was under reconstruction, but broadly we saw it and I loved it a lot! And the view from the castle was so beautiful! I just set down and enjoyed it! More photos about our last few days are coming soon!
Szandra Posted Sep 30, 2008, 2:04 pm	Now, we are again in Szandra's hometown, Miskolc. And we have just arrived back from a short walk, we looked round a short way off. There are a lot of weekend houses and there is also a forest by near. The landscape was so beautiful beause everything was parti-coloured: yellows, reds, purples... I loved it!
Szandra Posted Sep 30, 2008, 2:33 pm	And today we went to see also the city center. While we were walking in the main street, we saw the Gallery and the National Theatre of Miskolc. This was the first stone-built theatre in Hungary. And you can see photos also about the Erzsébet Square. I wanted to plunge my leg into the water, but it was too cold!
Szandra Posted Oct 23, 2008, 10:37 pm	Finally I have a little time to write you some lines and show some photos that we made in Scotland and Dublin during our journey! I enjoyed sooo much these few days! On the first few pics you can see us in the plane and in the hotel room in Dublin.
Szandra Posted Oct 23, 2008, 10:48 pm	When we arrived to Glasgow, we had such a beautiful weather! We expected for a cold rainy day, so we wanted to go for a walk as soon as possible. Our hotel was in the Cathedral Square, so we had nice view for the Glasgow Cathedral and the Necropolis. I loved all these old bulidings and places!
Szandra Posted Nov 2, 2008, 11:23 am	On the first pic you can see me in the George Square. Very nice place with a lot of young people. We saw this place at home on a webcam and it was amazing to walk there in live! Than we went to see the Glasgow Green. On the way there we saw a lot of nice things. And however it was a long walk, finally we found it and really....green!!! Beautiful! And we went inside of the People Palace. There is a botanical garden, we set down and enjoyed the feeling of that nice place! On most of the photos you can see me with Peti, who became a very good friend of mine. And there was also with us Skippy Kangaroo, I enjoyed hanging around with him!
Szandra Posted Nov 2, 2008, 11:44 am	We wanted to see the famous lake, Loch Lomond, so we decided to find a bus and travel to Balloch. The weather was rainy, but the lake was very beautiful and mistical. We didn't wan to miss the Loch Lomond Aquarium! I saw there a lot of interesting animals!
Szandra Posted Nov 2, 2008, 12:24 pm	On the way back home we had time to look around in Dublin. I was very tired of the lot of travelling and sight seeings, but I wanted to see as much as possible! My favourites in Dublin were the Saint Stephen's Green Park and the Dublin Castle. But it was also a joy to get through the Ha'Penny Bridge!
