HSV Maskottchen anja-cruse@vodafone.de Posted Dec 6, 2011, 5:15 am	Dear friends, now I´m arrived in Neumünster where my new friend Krabby waited for me. The other host Hermann is on his way to Austria, so I can't meet him for this moment! It´s very nice here, I´m glad to get out of this dark box and see more of Neumünster! And what should I say? Yesterday in the evening when my new host got me from the post office it started to snow a lot! Now the whole city is white and we try to make some nice picures, especially at a pharmacy. My new host Anja wants to take me to her work at a ticket shop and the tourist-information of Neumünster. I think it´s the best start for me! Be sure, that I´m happy here! You´re in my heart, Dolivia
HSV Maskottchen anja-cruse@vodafone.de Posted Dec 8, 2011, 8:14 pm	Hello, I´ve had my first round in Neumünster. It was very interesting to see Anjas work. After the whole day sitting in here office we made a visit at the "City Apotheke" where the owner allowed us to take some pics. Here they are! In the next days I want to escort Anja to all the daily things she has to do. Maybe her son Tom-Robinson would take me with his bike for a ride, but in this moment the weather is very ugly. We´ve got a lot of rain and its very windy. Anja & Tom-Robinson got two very nice cats. I´m very curious to take photos with them, but here the first ones in Neumünsters city. Deat "Oberhofer", it´s very nice here, but I think I miss you very much....till soon, yours Dolivia
HSV Maskottchen anja-cruse@vodafone.de Posted Dec 28, 2011, 6:37 am	Hi everybody, these are my last updates in Neumünster, because there´s a new host who wants to give me a chance to see some new things. But first of all I want to show you the latest pics here at Anjas home and surrounding it.
HSV Maskottchen anja-cruse@vodafone.de Posted Dec 28, 2011, 6:42 am	Here is the home of real football fans! The Christmas tree, the childrens room, the car, the kitchen........everythings is full of stuff from the "Hamburger SV", Anjas and Toms favourite team. But it was very funny to sit as a green TV in a blue tree......
HSV Maskottchen anja-cruse@vodafone.de Posted Dec 28, 2011, 6:46 am	Here are some pictures with the 2 cats of Anjas family. It was possible to ride the cat called "Gutschie" and to sit near by the very shy cat "Cindy". The looked very stranged, because they never saw a green TV before. So you can see, that I did my homework!
HSV Maskottchen anja-cruse@vodafone.de Posted Dec 28, 2011, 6:52 am	My next homework is done. I sat in Anjas car, which is (for everybody in Neumünster) a football fan car....as you can see the sign in front of which means, that everybody has to shut up and be quiet when Anja drive the car (of course its a little joke in the nort-german slang called "plattdüütsch").
HSV Maskottchen anja-cruse@vodafone.de Posted Dec 28, 2011, 6:59 am	These are the last pics, I put into the diary. Anja took me with to the train station where she waited for her son Tom. He was over the Christmas days at his grandparents and took his first trip alone and for himself from Hamburg to Neumünster. I want to say thank you for all the things I visited here. It was very exciting and new for me to see some other things rhan chemist shops. But very often I missed my home. Now I´m very curious about the next station in Bad Lippspringe. Send you lots of love and many hugs! Yours Dolivia
meckdaniels Posted Dec 31, 2011, 4:07 pm	Hallo parents, yesterday I arrived at Bad Lippspringe. I had almost eaten my whole provisions, but I could give some chocolate and a postcard  from Neumünster  to my new host. We met another toyvoyager,Biba from Kiew,Ukraine. Our hosts know each other very well. Celebrating this we went to a Carribean bar. The cook of the bar wanted to make me part of a salad, but I could escape to the top of a barrel. To calm down, I drank some cocktails.After that  Biba and I had a lot of fun. This evening we will go to a New Year's Eve. I will tell you the details tomorrow... Bye my parents yours Dolivia
meckdaniels Posted Jan 1, 2012, 12:14 pm	Happy new year,dear parents, I hope you had such an amazing New Year's Eve like I had. Biba and I went with our hosts to a party  in Paderborn. At first we had to watch the New Year's speech of the German chancellor and , of course, "dinner for one". We were laughing the whole time. after our dinner we got Chinese lucky cookies with an written aphorism inside. At midnight there was a wonderful fireworks and we are allowed to light sparklers to greet the new year. For having luck in 2012, Biba and I got a lucky four-leaf clover. Finishing this fantastic evenig we drank one or two glasses sparkling wine together. Bye,bye yours Dolivia
meckdaniels Posted Jan 7, 2012, 6:35 pm	Dear parents, though the weather was bad, I had some exciting days. After some walks in the rain with functional equipment, I amused myself at home. First I slid down on the banisters about 500 times. My next adventure was riding a wild wild horse. As luck would have it, I met a person as green as me. Yesterday I helped my host with his do-it-your-self kit. After this work was done, I had a nice conversation with a friendly old man, who told me that hat had worked very hard too in last December and now he went on holidays for eleven months. Bye,bye yours Dolivia
meckdaniels Posted Jan 14, 2012, 10:02 am	Dear parents, yesterday I visited my host at work. He is the boss of an old people home. I helped him in his office as an telephone oeprator and by answering his mails. While taking a break I made a three-and-a half-somersault between two perforators. After that I helped the caretaker of the old people home doing his dangerous work.  After this strenuous and exciting day we had decided to go on holiday at the northsea for a week together with the  toyvoyagers biba and djedi and with nick a friendly bear we met. Bye my lovely parents yours Dolivia
meckdaniels Posted Jan 22, 2012, 3:10 pm	Hello my dear parents, today we started our trip to Waddewarden, a little village near from Wilhelmshaven. We had the job to navigate our hosts successful on their way to the north sea. When we arrived and wanted to unpack our package, we had a great surprise. Djedi an other toyvoyager had travelled with us as an stowaway. Because he was very gently, we became friends very quickly. After this exciting day we were very tired and went satisfied to bed. Yours Dolivia
meckdaniels Posted Jan 22, 2012, 3:17 pm	Dear parents, When we awaked, we went to the beach to see the north sea, but.. There was no water. We had to speak with the travelguide ! Yours Dolivia
meckdaniels Posted Jan 22, 2012, 3:29 pm	Dear parents, today I visited Hooksiel, a very nice village with a little harbour near waddewarden.We met a big seal and I entered a cutter; I felt like my host's toyvoyager Störte the pirate bear. Ahoi Dolivia
meckdaniels Posted Jan 22, 2012, 3:53 pm	Dear parents, today we made a trip to Jever. To become acqainted with this town, we made a city sightseeingtour with a yellow taxi. After that we took a ride on a wild horse and a dangerous bull and entered a lighthouse Roter Sand. In a chemist shop called castle chemist shop I had a ride on a candy go-round. To calm me down I had a teatime in a nice cafe. It was a great day! Yours Dolivia
meckdaniels Posted Jan 22, 2012, 7:59 pm	Dear parents,, Today the weather was very stormy and rainy,so we played Skat all day long. Djedi and Biba drank a lot of beer, I swear, i didn`t...

meckdaniels Posted Jan 22, 2012, 8:19 pm	Dear Parents, we are on the way back home, we had wunderful time togehter. Best wishes yours Dolivia
meckdaniels Posted Jan 30, 2012, 8:52 pm	Hello parents, after many adventures it was time to leave Bad Lippspringe and visit a new host. Before I crawled in my envelope, I said good bye to Störte. He sang me a melancholic pirate shanty and huged me three times in a seamen behavior. Now I am looking forward to my new host in Hemer(Germany) Yours Dolivia
Maik(i) Posted Feb 2, 2012, 1:34 pm	Dear parents, today I arrived at my new hosts home. The first I heard were some voices murmuring which made me little scared. But then my envelope was opened very carefully and many friendly eyes looked at me. All toys came to welcome me  Also "Speedy" the Lemming broke up her sleep for a minute just to say hi to me. My hostparents told me that I came just in time to help them. On Saturday they want to repaper their flat. I guess that will be quite fun  Will tell you more later Love Dolivia
Maik(i) Posted Feb 5, 2012, 7:08 pm	Hey Mum, hey Dad! As I already told you I was alowed to help my hostparents to repaper their flat. That was sooo funny. I had to mix the wallpaper paste. It took the whole weekend just to finish one room. Because hostmum and hostdad were so buisy I decided to surprise them with selfmade chocolate icecream. You won't believe how tasty it was to lick out the bowl in the end :-)
Maik(i) Posted Feb 15, 2012, 6:00 pm	Dear parents, Today was soooo boring because the weather is so bad. Actually we wanted to make little trip into the "Sauerland" but it was raining all the day so we decided to play some games. The first we played was Texas Hold'em Poker. Entchen und Elchi had no chance - I won every game. In the pics below you can see me winnig with a Full House. To play Poker all the day was to boring. We wanted more action  so we played "Jenga". That was little to exciting for me - you'll see why  In the end we made a tricky puzzle. The difficulty is that you don't know what's on the puzzle. You just get some little hints what it could be. Quite fun. Love, Dolivia
Maik(i) Posted Feb 22, 2012, 7:50 pm	Dear parents. Today my hostmum's parents came over and brought 2 other TVs with them. They are called Jezyk and Schnatterchen. They will spend the night at ours because hostmum promised to take us to her work tomorrow  They came just in time. Hostmum and I wanted to clean the rodent cage. Jezyk tried to catch the Lemming with a fishing net. Schnatterchen and I showed him the box which we would catch it with. When we finished it was already so late that we decided to go to bed. It will become an exciting day tomorrow I guess  Greetings Dolivia
Maik(i) Posted Feb 25, 2012, 12:36 pm	Hello again. As promised, we were allowed to visit my hostmum at her work. First of all we had a little anatomy lesson. It took us a while because it is quite much to learn - all the bones and muscles. After the anatomy lesson we were allowed to make a little break. So we had time to make a little soccer match and to take a ride on a small red pony before the training could start. At the end of the day each of us got a massage - that was so relaxing. On Monday we make a short holiday in the Netherlands. I am so excited - I can't wait till it's monday.
Maik(i) Posted Mar 5, 2012, 7:00 pm	Dear parents. Hostmummy had a little surprise for us before we went with her parents to the Netherlands. Today we went to an icehockeymatch of the local "Iserlohn Roosters". They played versus "Nürnberg Ice Tigers". And of course the hometeam won 5:0. I would love to have made more photos but the players were too fast. Now my voice is little groaky because we were screaming so loud to cheer for the Roosters. But that won't stop me to pack my luggage for the trip. You will hear more when I'm back. Love Dolivia
EbCo Posted Mar 21, 2012, 5:58 pm	Hey mommy, hey daddy. Sorry that I write so late but my hostparents were very busy. We had a very nice holiday but sadly the camera broke so we just could take one single photo :-( Hostmum and hostdad taught us how to swim and how to fish. What a pitty. Love Dolivia
Maik(i) Posted Mar 28, 2012, 9:28 pm	Hey there at home. Hostmum told me that my next trip would go to Paris - France. I am so excited but also quite sad because I liked it here. They all were so nice to me. As a little farewell gift hostum taught me how to knit. After a little while I was able to knit clothes for me so I asked hostmum to show me how to make gaiters for my arms. The nights are still very cold and I don't want to freeze at the poststations. Well, know I will crawl into my envelope and hope that the trip won't take too long. You will hear from me when I reached France. Love Dolivia
Krtecek Posted Apr 7, 2012, 6:09 pm	I have arrived safely to Paris. Today we went for a small trip to see the Notre Dame a famous cathedral in the heart of Paris. It was partly cloudly but sometimes we had a bit of sunshine. And everything was blooming and there were many tourists they were all taking pictures of the trees.
Krtecek Posted Apr 7, 2012, 6:11 pm	And then we continued to the boulevard saint michel with its famous fountain saint michel that was built in the 19th century.
Krtecek Posted Apr 8, 2012, 8:39 pm	Today me and other toyvoyagers decided to visit the Basilique of Saint Denis a jewel of a gothic architecture and the burial place of French kings and queens. We had a meeting with the friends near the bassin de la villette. There was a lovely fountain and a funny cow (part of the cowparade). We though it would be funny to take some pictures there
Krtecek Posted Apr 8, 2012, 8:40 pm	As we were trying to reach the basilique we found a lovely parc with many tulips. Once we reached the basilique we saw the tombs but we didn´it it consider appropriate to take pictures in the interior. But it was a real jewel.
Krtecek Posted Apr 16, 2012, 8:56 pm	Today we have decided to visit the castle of Breteuil. It is a small family castle that has been held by the family of Breteuil for over 400 years - we have even met the real marquis de Breteuil. He lives in the castle. It is also the castle of Charles Perrault a famous storyteller who wrote many stories for children and these stories are alive in the castle. Cool visit.
Krtecek Posted Apr 16, 2012, 8:58 pm	Even though it is Friday 13th it is our lucky day. We have finally received the Easter package from the Czech republic. It was full of goodies so me and other toyvoyagers attacked the package and ate all the goodies. Afterwards we were a little sick but it was so irresistibly good.
Krtecek Posted Apr 21, 2012, 9:37 pm	Another day at Paris. I met other toyvoyagers and together we took a bicycle (thats called „velo“ in French) and went to see the Centre George Pompidou a museum of modern art. It is a huge building with all the pipes on the exterior of the buildings and in different colours – air/conditioning is blue, water is green and electricity is yellow. Also the staircases are on the exterior and the building is thus very unusual in a historical centre.
Krtecek Posted Apr 21, 2012, 9:38 pm	Next to the Centre George Pompidou we saw an interesting fountain and our host told us it was the Stravinski fountain a is a whimsical public fountain ornamented with sixteen works of sculpture, moving and spraying water, representing the works of composer Igor Stravinsky.
Krtecek Posted Apr 21, 2012, 9:38 pm	Then we walked in the district of Les Halles which is a shopping area of Paris with many boutiques, shops, cafes, and restaurants. And suddenly we smelled something very very good. We followed the smell until a small boulangerie (bakery) with all kinds of goodies. We couldnt resist.
Krtecek Posted Apr 21, 2012, 9:39 pm	Our short visit finished in a parc next to Tour Saint Jacques a 52 m tall tower of a church that was destroyed during the French revolution. Nowadays i tis an important monument a landmark visible from a long distance.
Krtecek Posted Apr 29, 2012, 6:30 pm	The last week was not very optimistic as it was raining all the time. Even Sunday was a bit rainy at the beginning, me and other toyvoyagers stayed at home and decided to help our host with cooking. First of all we needed to clean the kitchen. Big Glubschi and Creamsheep cleaned the dishes and then me, Creamsheep and Sofia dried them. Then we prepared all ingredients for a delicious pasta with chicken and cream cheese. I poured some water into the saucepan, Big Glubschi added the salt, Sofia weighted the pasta and Creamsheep turned on the heater. Then we were all eagerly waiting for the results of our hard work. And it was delicious.
Krtecek Posted Apr 29, 2012, 6:30 pm	In the afternoon the weather became a little nicer and we had a few rays of sun. So we decided to go for a visit of the most famous cemetery in Paris – Pere Lachaise with graves of many famous people such as Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf, Moliere and others. The place is full of trees and has a very calm atmosphere. Out of the many famous people we decided to stop by the grave of Edith Piaf on the top of the cemetery overlooking the city of Paris.
Krtecek Posted May 8, 2012, 1:43 pm	Even though the weather was not perfect, me and other toyvoyager decided to také achance and go sightseeing. Luckily for us, it was not raining. First stop led directly to the most famous monument of Paris – the world known Eiffel tower. We were impressed by the craftwork of French engineers and the beauty of the edifice that stands above the river Seine.
Krtecek Posted May 8, 2012, 1:43 pm	Our steps then continued to the Invalides a former veterans hospital that is famous for its golden roof and as a burial place of Napolean. We even saw his tomb in the main church.
Krtecek Posted May 8, 2012, 1:44 pm	Our walk continued along the river and we saw the building of the Assemblé Nationale – French Parliament (in the background) and admired the Eiffel Tower from a distance. Finally we arrived at Place de la Concorde a large square with an Egyptian obelisk in the middle.
Krtecek Posted May 8, 2012, 1:44 pm	From there we continued to the Louvre a former royal palace that now house sone of the largest´s art museums in the world with such masterpieces as the Mona Lisa or Venus of Milo. It is also famous for the glass pyramid that was bulit in the middle of the historic palace to facilitate the entry of visitors.
Krtecek Posted May 8, 2012, 1:45 pm	On the road we stopped by the bouquinists which are sellers of second hand books who have their stalls along the river and offer various types of books, posters, old postcards and other collectible items.
Krtecek Posted May 8, 2012, 1:46 pm	A place not to miss in Paris is the Notre Dame Cathedral on the island in the middle of the city. Built in the 12th century it is one of the most important gothic cathedrals in France and the seat of the archbishop. It is also famous for the hunchback Quasimodo and a gypsy Esmeralda from a novel of victor Hugo.
Krtecek Posted May 8, 2012, 1:46 pm	Today we decided to visit one of the castles that are situated around Paris – castle Vaux le Vicomte. A castle surrounded by a water moat. Unfortunately it was under reconstruction therefore the dome is under scaffolding.
Krtecek Posted May 8, 2012, 1:47 pm	What is impressive are the gardens that are perfectly designed by Le Notre a garden architect who designed also the garden in Versailles.
Krtecek Posted May 8, 2012, 1:48 pm	We are back in Paris. Today we are going to visit Montmartre a particular district of Paris known by the artist such as Picasso or Dalí. It is dominated by a white marble church of Sacré Coeur (Holy Heart) that overlooks the city.
Krtecek Posted May 8, 2012, 1:49 pm	Through lovely narrow streets we continued to the place de Tertre a small square with many painters working on their masterpieces and selling them to the passers by. The serious painters are joined by caricaturists and portraitists aiming at tourists and their wallets 
Krtecek Posted May 8, 2012, 1:49 pm	The Montmartre district used to be a vineyard of Paris and as it is the only hill in the city it was perfect for the construction of windmills. Until today we can admire three of them and we visited them all including the famous Moulin Rouge which is today a well known cabaret.
Krtecek Posted May 8, 2012, 1:50 pm	Then we stopped at Place des Abbesses in the heart of Montmartre. We saw one of two original metro entrances bulit in 1900 and also a water fountain that was designed at the beginning of the 20th century in the style of Art Nouveau.
Krtecek Posted May 8, 2012, 1:51 pm	Our last stop was at Pantheon in a heart of the Latin District. Pantheon is a civil temple where important Frenchmen, such as Voltaire, Rousseau or Vicor Hugo, are buried. We walked up the 206 steps to admire the view on Paris from a rooftop of this majestic structure.
Krtecek Posted May 19, 2012, 10:44 am	As it was a national holiday in France today our host took me to a newly opened exhibition of Toutankhamon - one of the most famous Egyptian pharaoh. I saw the funeral chamber and the treasury with many golden items that were placed there to help the Pharaoh in the afterlife. Whats more, it was very well made and I learnt a lot about the beliefs of ancient Egyptians.
Krtecek Posted May 19, 2012, 6:22 pm	In the afternoon we visited Opera Garnier probably the most famous opera house in the world, a symbol of Paris like Notre Dame cathedral, the Louvre, or the Sacré Coeur basilica It is also a place of a famous love story Phantom of the Opera written by Gaston Leroux. The story tells about the love triangle between a  deformed musical genius, an opera diva nad a young gentleman. The story became even more famous as a musical of Andrew Lloyd Weber.
Krtecek Posted May 24, 2012, 6:37 pm	Today we visited one of the most remarkable momunemt of Paris - The Arc of Triomphe. It honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and the Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I. And it was sunny so we enjoyed the view even more. And tomorrow we take off for Prague!!!
Krtecek Posted May 30, 2012, 7:44 pm	After a short flight we landed in Prague. As a group trip we were all very happy to spend some time together and explore the beautiful city. On our first day we admired the Dancing house. Originally named Fred and Ginger (after Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers – the house resembles a pair of dancers) the house stands out among the Baroque, Gothic and Art Nouveau buildings for which Prague is famous.
Krtecek Posted May 30, 2012, 7:45 pm	Next we saw the panorama of Prague castle a majestic set of palaces constructed over 1000 years in all kinds of architectural styles.
Krtecek Posted May 30, 2012, 7:55 pm	Instead of going to the castle we continued to the Old Town square famous for an Astronomical clock that was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still working. A legend says that the clockmaker Hanuš was blinded on the order of the Prague Councillors so that he could not repeat his work in another town; in turn, he broke down the clock, and no one was able to repair it for the next hundred years. According to local legend the city will suffer if the clock is neglected and its good operation is placed in jeopardy.
Krtecek Posted May 30, 2012, 7:56 pm	Then we saw the townhall bulit in the Art Nouveau style with a statue of a Dark Knight (not the one from Batman) in the corner.  Another Prague legend says that it was a foreign knight who came to Prague with his suite and wanted to marry one of Czech girls. The girls refused his love and was interested only in Czech young men. As a hot blooded foreigner he killed her with his sword. Before the girl died she cursed the foreign knight to remain a metal statue for thousand years until an innocent girl does not change him back by a kiss. Since the time has not yet come, the black knight is still waiting in the corner of the town hall.
Krtecek Posted May 30, 2012, 7:57 pm	To avoid the tourists we took a shortcut through Clementinum which is a national library founded in 1781 on a place of a former monastery and a university. There is also a meteorological observatory and the weather recording there started in 1775 and provides thus a comparison of weather development over more than 200 years.
Krtecek Posted May 30, 2012, 7:57 pm	After quite and exhaustive walk we have finally reached the Charles Bridge a symbol of Prague and its very valuable monument. The beginning of its construction was carefully planned by royal alchymists who predicted that the most favorable would be to lay the corner stone on 1357 9th July at 5:31 a.m. (divine sequence of odd numbers in ascending and descending order 135797531). The bridge is 621 meters long and nearly 10 meters wide, resting on 16 arches shielded by ice guards. It is protected by three bridge towers. The Old Town bridge tower is often considered to be one of the most astonishing civil gothic-style buildings in the world. The bridge is decorated by a continuous alley of 30 statues originally erected around 1700.
Krtecek Posted May 30, 2012, 7:58 pm	Our first day sightseeing was finished in Kampa a lovely area between Vltava and Devil's Stream (Čertovka), a waterway dug to power water mills. It is supposedly to be named after a sharp-tongued woman who lived in a local home called the Seven Devils. Even today we can admire a beautiful watermill from the 12th century. Kampa island i salso home to a Museum of modern art announced by massive bronze statues of babies that were sculpted by David Cerny a well known Czech artist.
Krtecek Posted May 30, 2012, 7:59 pm	Next day was announced as a sunny one so we continued our tour de Prague. We walked through a parc admiring the views when suddenly we saw an Eiffel tower. We thought that it was some sort of a teleport that took us to Paris but our host told us that it was not an Eiffel tower but a look out tower on Petrin a 60 metre high steel tower built in 1891. Although it is much shorter than the Eiffel Tower, it stands atop a sizable hill, Petřín, so the top is actually at a higher altitude than that of the Eiffel Tower.
Krtecek Posted May 30, 2012, 8:00 pm	We then continued to the Strahov monastery founded in 1149 The monastery is often visited because of its historical library with more than 200.000 old boks and manuscripts. There is a beautiful view of the Prague panorama that we admired as well.
Krtecek Posted May 30, 2012, 8:00 pm	There are really many beautiful buildings in Prague. Another one that took our breath away was the Prague Loreta church a beautiful baroque edifice from the 17th century.  It is an important place of pilgrimage and a house of a Loreta treasure an large collection of lithurgical object of innimaginable value. It i salso famous for its chime bells that are used instead of classic church bells.
Krtecek Posted May 30, 2012, 8:01 pm	Finally we have reached the Prague castle whose panorama we saw yesterday from the riverside. The impressive castle founded in the 9th century is the largest medivela castle in the world with 570metres of length and 128 of width. It was a crowning place of Czech kings and it is now a seat of the Czech president and a house of Czech crown jewels. In the heart of the complex there is a St. Vitus cathedral that contains the tombs of many Czech kings and it is also the seat of the Archbishop of Prague. The chapel of St. Wenceslas a Czech patron saint contains not only his relics but also the most valuable treasure of the entire nation – the crown jewels.
Krtecek Posted May 30, 2012, 8:02 pm	To také a little break from all the walking we went to the Wallenstein gardens that belong to the Wallenstein palace (a seat of the Senate). Beatiful peaceful French garden architecture was meant to rival the Prague castle and we have to admit that it must have really threaten the empreror. No wonder Wallenstein was assasinated on the order of the Emperor ion 1634.
Krtecek Posted May 30, 2012, 8:02 pm	Last gothic jewel of our visit – a church of St. Nicolas built in the baroque style. The green copper roof and the bell tower are distinct marks on Prague panorama.
Krtecek Posted Jun 8, 2012, 8:38 pm	Today my host took me to Versailles a miraculous castle of Louis XIV called Sun-King. It was Sunday so we had a chance to admire the gardens with all the fountains and music. It was undescribable and I hope we were able to capture some of the atmohpere on the pictures.
HinnerksMom Posted Jul 9, 2012, 11:49 am	Hi there! I made it safe to Cloppenburg, Germany....man that was a trip. I was pushed around...I am sure some of the other travelers out there did not have a shower for a while...eeeewwww! Okay as u can see in the following pictures I really wanted to get out of my lil envelope to get some fresh air. I hurried that much that I got stuck in the door. When I finally made it in I was almost exhausted to get out, got stuck again. Luckily my buddy Conrad, he is a cool cat I can tell, came to my rescue. My host showed me my apartment: Very nice in there. Pretty much where the cats live. Some grapes and something to drink was there waiting for me. So what can I say. I feel good and I will take a little nap now. Get back to you later...muaaaaaahhhh!
HinnerksMom Posted Jul 11, 2012, 9:39 am	Okay , its afternoon and NoMi, my host and I decided to take a short trip around Cloppenburg which let us to Texas Airport. Yes you do hear right....wow I am excited. I could swear that Texas is in the United States and the Airport that comes to my mind straight is Dallas/Fort Worth. Well I found out very quick that we did not talk about America here, but hey I have never been at this Texas Airport before and I had nice company, so I did enjoy myself. There was not really much going on...not even a plane on the ground...hmmm we did spend some time on the playground, cause we were told that a plane would arrive in short time. We explored the airport, checked some maps, found out that they have parachuting there also...and then we hurried back to the fence to watch the plane land. Wow that was actually nice to watch. It was time to leave the airport and continue our little journey...but I tell you about that tomorrow.
HinnerksMom Posted Jul 12, 2012, 10:24 am	Hi there! As I promised yesterday I will tell you what else we found on our little trip. We were still joking about the name of Texas Airport and how funny it actually was to find an airport with that name in Germany, guess where we found each other sitting all of a sudden??????? IN AMERIKA!!!!! Oh my this is totally confusing here in this area. NoMi and I sat down a bit and learned that the name came up in the earlier years when there was still a moor area around this place. There was a little height right here which was surrounded by moor and that made it very difficult for the people to reach the next little town Garrel. Due to the fact that it took so long to get there they said it takes as long as to travel to America...so there u go....more of me tomorrow (o;
HinnerksMom Posted Jul 13, 2012, 2:02 pm	Hi there! Talking of funny places...when we left Amerika we drove straight to Nikolausdorf, which would mean St. Claus Village when u translate it. We were sooooooo excited, I was already counting up all the things that I want for Christmas and we mad a plan to look for Santa all around to be able to give him the wishlist in person. Unfortunately he must have been out...no deer...no sleigh ....no nothing we could find, but now we know where to find him else than at North pole. Christmas time he opens his office we´ve been told and the people there are very busy to answer all his mail. I am curious what we will see next. Bye bye Nikolausdorf and greetings to Santa. Maybe we explore Cloppenburg itself...we didn´t do so far. My host said that u maybe won´t here from me before monday, just so u don´t worry. (o;
HinnerksMom Posted Jul 16, 2012, 3:30 pm	Hi there! Like I promised some news from Germany. My host went out for breakfast on Sunday so we had a little check on downtown Cloppenburg. Sunday 10.00am not much going on there, but now we know a little bit about shopping and where to go. They also have this little river Soeste here. You can see it in the first pictures. We enjoyed breakfast together and had lots of fun. We took more pics, but will show you those ones tomorrow. Huggles
HinnerksMom Posted Jul 17, 2012, 8:54 am	Hi there! Today I want to show some more pics of the exploration in Cloppenburg. We checked out City Hall. On Sundays also a very quiet place. We saw a stone monument infront of the building that was made for "Kinderschutzbund". Maybe you can see one or the other name on the Foto which was written there by different kids from town. They have also a nice little lake with water lilies and other beautiful flowers around. I took a little rest on one of the leaves. More from me tomorrow
HinnerksMom Posted Jul 18, 2012, 9:03 am	Good Morning! I wanted to show you some more pics today from the city. We went to Stadtpark where we found this funny black/white game. We got all dizzy when it started turning around. Another thing that made our heads turn was the court. Geez we had to think about the things we did over the last weeks and if we did anything criminal. As you can see on the pic, we were very careful first, but then we had a litte chat infront of the side building and finally made it to the doorsteps of the court, cause we very 100% positive that we have been good TVs so far ((o;
HinnerksMom Posted Jul 19, 2012, 1:02 pm	Hi there! Today went to a place of pilgrimage called "Bethen". Its a little village. I hope that you like the pics. Check out the beautiful flowers...nice huh? This area here is a catholic region I learned. The weather is still cold not really summer and rain on top. As you can see in the pics there is a big church and a little church. We found a pilgrim bible in the big church which we studied for a while. In one picture you can see us with three candles in the back. One was lighten for you. It was a nice little trip and I liked the architecture. I still have fun here with my buddy NoMi who is experiencing all this with me. Hug
HinnerksMom Posted Jul 22, 2012, 7:21 pm	Hi there! Today was the first day when we had more sun than clouds, so we took the chance to go and check out the garden and taking a sunbath. We met some kittens and their mom...watched them eating cat food, played with them, checked the beautiful flowers (I met a bumblebee) out there and played hide and seek. I also showed Showed Nomi some artistic elements hanging from a tree. Nomi mentioned I looked fantastic ((o; Before we went in for Dinner we peeked through the neighbors window, but he was not there (o; Hug
HinnerksMom Posted Jul 24, 2012, 1:38 pm	Hi there! Today we stopped at a place called Staatsforsten. We found that big stone that showed the kilometers to other places. Hahaha can you see how close Amerika is? Remember that is the Amerika I have been already. I took a pic sitting on the big stone there. There was a colorful old train covert by high grass we visit today. Our host showed us around and we took some pics. Its very sunny today and 30°C. Puuuuhhh we did not stay too long, cause we wanted to drink water, before we left we saw an apple tree, but unfortunately no ripe apples yet. Greetings
HinnerksMom Posted Jul 25, 2012, 7:38 pm	Hi there! Today we were invited to my hosts friend for coffee. NoMi and I were very excited. It´s always good to meet knew people. When we arrived there was this very beautiful frog princess, she was sooo extremely nice to us and offered to show us around. We met this long hair cat name Tobi, also very nice pal I can say. The frog princess showed us a little lake where we sat down for fishing. We did climb a very high tree. Check out the tomatoes and the wine...to bad none of that was ripe at this time. We loved the Harley´s yeahhhh check me out on a bike, I felt so cool. Before we left a little later we met this wooden man in the neighbor´s garden.....he was not really talking much...he mumbled something like "too warm"..."don´t feel like talking" or so. All together we had a very nice afternoon and enjoyed ourselves. Greetings
HinnerksMom Posted Jul 29, 2012, 6:23 pm	Hi there! We did visit the Museumsdorf today. We shot a lot of pics so that we will send them in 3 parts the next days so that you can see how it looks there. We were hoping to see the pigs, but they did not want to come out unfortunately. here is what Wikipedia is telling about the Museumsdorf in short: The Cloppenburg Museum Village and Lower Saxon Open-Air Museum (German: Museumsdorf Cloppenburg – Niedersächsisches Freilichtmuseum) in the Lower Saxon county town of Cloppenburg is the oldest museum village in Germany. The museum is a research and educational establishment in the field of cultural and countryside history. The Lower Saxon Open-Air Museum is a non-profit organisation. Although the museum does not set out to compete for visitors, in 2009 the Cloppenburg Museum Village had more visitors than any other museum in Lower Saxony (250,000). In 2004 the visitors included about 60,000 children and young people, who took in what the museum had to offer as part of their school curricula. Hope u enjoy the pics ...(o;
HinnerksMom Posted Jul 30, 2012, 8:46 am	Hi there! As promised yesterday I will follow up with more pics of Museumsdorf visit on sunday...enjoy (o; ...more tomorrow
HinnerksMom Posted Jul 31, 2012, 8:08 am	Hi there! Here you go with some more pics of the Museumsdorf. We really took a lot pics wow. Hugs
HinnerksMom Posted Aug 1, 2012, 9:05 am	Hi there! Here are some last impressions from the Museumsdorf, hope u enjoyed the walk
Dolivia Posted Aug 4, 2012, 5:54 pm	Now I am back from France and make a small one just at the chemist's. Tomorrow it goes directly further to Cloppenburg. I am already glad about the new town and the new person.
HinnerksMom Posted Aug 17, 2012, 5:44 pm	Hi there! Yesterday our host was driving us up to the coast. She had some personal business to do there and she she tried to do her best to get some good....FAST....shots from the three places we saw there. We traveled only for one day...but check it out. First we visited a little harbor called Fedderwardersiel. It´s location is at the Jadebusen and the river Weser enters the North Sea at that point which you can see in the background in some of the pictures. We had fun even if the time was short. We show some more pics of the next village tomorrow
HinnerksMom Posted Aug 18, 2012, 8:46 am	Hi there! Here are some pics of what they call the "Lagune" in Burhave. Its a place directly at the water where families can have fun. It was build a couple of years ago and its artificial. Here on the beaches the water is coming and going with the time of the day. It is called "Ebbe and Flut". "Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun and the rotation of the Earth. Some shorelines experience two almost equal high tides and two low tides each day, called a semi-diurnal tide. Some locations experience only one high and one low tide each day, called a diurnal tide. Some locations experience two uneven tides a day, or sometimes one high and one low each day; this is called a mixed tide. The times and amplitude of the tides at a locale are influenced by the alignment of the Sun and Moon, by the pattern of tides in the deep ocean, by the amphidromic systems of the oceans, and by the shape of the coastline and near-shore bathymetry Now you know what "Ebbe and Flut" is (o; I will follow up with some pics of Burhave beach in a minute
HinnerksMom Posted Aug 18, 2012, 9:01 am	...here we are again with some beach pics. In the background you can see the open North Sea and on some pics you see the town Bremerhaven on the other side. Bremerhaven was called the last town before you reach NYC in earlier years, cause that´s where you went on board to make it to the USA by ship. We will have some closer pics of Bremerhaven tomorrow (o; Like I mentioned already yesterday we had only a very small time frame for the pics so we did not have that much time to play around, but got a great overview (o;
HinnerksMom Posted Aug 20, 2012, 8:27 am	Hi there! A day late but here are the last pics from the trip we took last Thursday. We visited Blexen. That´s the village where our host grew up. It was really nice there. On the first pics you can see lookout point from the Blexen bank to Bremerhaven. Those pics are followed by the church and last but not least the little harbor with the ferry boat to Bremerhaven and the old train station building. I hope that you enjoyed all pics about my visit here, cause I am leaving soon to my next host. Greetings
HinnerksMom Posted Sep 6, 2012, 12:21 pm	Hi there! Last week I said already Good Bye to NoMi and today I said bye bye to me host. I left Cloppenburg this morning and I am on my way back to my home base.
Dolivia Posted Sep 18, 2012, 5:49 pm	My days in Cloppenburg are over. Come in Neuss, I am welcomed immediately warmly by my beloved sister. I still enjoy the last days in Neuss and from morning I come along on the way in Switzerland. Guest mummy Melik I is soon with you and pleases me very much about you. Love greets your Dolivia
Jasper Posted Dec 2, 2012, 5:22 pm	Hello to all at home, yesterday morning I arrived safely in Switzerland. I'm crawling out of my jacket and was greeted warmly. Especially host mum was very pleased with my gifts, because she just has cough. In the afternoon we visited an animal exhibition. That was fun. And best of all, it's snowing. I love you all Dolivia
Jasper Posted Dec 4, 2012, 1:10 pm	Hello my dears Today we use the nice weather for a walk in the snow. We had a great view of the snow-covered valley. Soon came back snow clouds. Home our host mum made a hot lemon tea. It did really well. In the evening we lit the first candle on the Advent wreath. Christmas is near. I think of you Dolivia
Jasper Posted Dec 5, 2012, 12:54 pm	Hello my dears Today, we have welcomed a new guest. It is Troot, a small sweet elephant from Finland. Host mum opened the envelope and each of us wanted to look into it. What a mess. Troot was a little intimidated. Then he climbed out bravely and we have warmly welcomed him. He brought with him a card, Christmas tea and a lollipop. The tea is for host mum, she loves Christmas tea. Our host brother has grabbed the lollipop. So nasty. That's it for today. Have a great time. Dolivia
Jasper Posted Dec 7, 2012, 6:50 pm	Hi all, It snows all the time. And we are waiting for Santa Claus. Maybe he will not come. Troot told us that Santa always comes., No matter how much snow is. Troot should know, he is from Finland. While we wait, the old Theodore tells a Christmas story. We have not seen Santa, but we heard him. He brought us nuts, tangerines, cookies and a chocolate Santa for each of us. We were all behaved TV's. ;-))  Now we wait for Christmas. I think of you Dolivia
Jasper Posted Dec 9, 2012, 6:37 pm	Hello mum, The last days I was busy. I helped host mum to bake Christmas cookies. We baked a lot. Most of the cookies get host mum's dad, her brother and an elderly neighbor who lives alone. I had lots of fun and it smelled sooo good. Think of you Dolivia P.S. number 8 was my door to open.
Jasper Posted Dec 12, 2012, 3:26 pm	Hi all, Today was a Hello and Goodbye day. First we welcomed Lancel, a little rabbit. She is the third Bunny here. And then we said goodbye to Mr. Wilson. He's moved on to Germany, where he will spend Christmas. That's it for today Dolivia
Jasper Posted Dec 12, 2012, 7:11 pm	Hello mum and all the loved ones at home, after a week of snow and icy roads we could go outside again today. Wonderful winter weather. As host mum came home from work, she grabbed us immediately into her bag and off we went. We walked up a forest path. The sun was shining through the trees. So much snow. Above we saw pristine snow. We had a wonderful view. This walk was lovely. I hope you enjoy the pictures. your Dolivia
Jasper Posted Dec 16, 2012, 1:59 pm	I wish all at home a happy third Advent sunday. a lot of hugs and kisses Dolivia
Jasper Posted Dec 20, 2012, 9:57 pm	Hello dear mum. Today I was able to accompany host mum to work. She is responsible for inventory management and shipping to a company for hotel and kitchen supplies. First I visited her office. It is not ready set up, they moved just two weeks ago. Then I looked at the warehouse. Thousands of kitchen towels, tablecloths, napkins, aprons and more. It was great to see what host mum does when she is not at home. Love you mum Dolivia
Jasper Posted Dec 24, 2012, 2:49 pm	Hello mommy and all my loved ones at home I wish you all a wonderful, Merry Christmas. My thoughts are with you at home. I love you all and embrace you. Dolivia P.S.Today I had a lot of fun. (Which you'll see tomorrow)
Jasper Posted Dec 26, 2012, 12:55 pm	Hi mommy and all the loved ones at home, I had a very merry Christmas. On Christmas Eve we have decorated the Christmas tree with host dad. Sorry if some pictures are blurred. We laughed so much as host dad fought with the fairy lights. The Christmas tree looks wonderful. Then came the big moment. Everybody got his gift. I got a cuddly blanket. So I can always dream of cars and travel. Hugs and kisses Dolivia
Jasper Posted Jan 1, 2013, 12:25 pm	Happy New Year mum, I wish you and all the loved ones at home a happy and healthy new year. After a great dinner, we watched a bit of television to sell us the time. Then host brother has ignited table fireworks. We had great fun with all the funny things. Later we listened to the church bells and welcomed the New Year with champagne. Then we watched the fireworks. As our host family went to sleep, we have emptied the remaining bottles. May be this was a little much for some of us but we had a great party. And the party will go on, we have in fact two birthday kids. But that's another story. Love you all Dolivia
Jasper Posted Jan 1, 2013, 3:30 pm	hello mommy the party goes on. No one has forgotten my birthday. The funny thing is, Hase has also birthday today. Everyone congratulated us. They have lit a candle for each of us and sang Happy Birthday. Then I got my gift - delicious chocolate that we all ate together. It's a great birthday. I think of you, mum. your Dolivia
Jasper Posted Jan 7, 2013, 6:04 pm	Hello back home after three weeks of rain (host mother can not remember such a terrible winter) we were finally able to back outside. No sun but dry. We all wanted to play in the snow. And for snow we had up high, very high. Sledding on Schwägalp was funny. Then host mum had the idea of ​​visiting the Santis. So we took the cable car and were on our way to Säntis peak. At the top station we admired an exhibition of various museums around. Then we reached the summit. It was so cold and windy. Everything was frozen. This is the weather station. And that's the big TV antenna. On our way back we even saw the sun. It was a wonderful day. Dolivia
Jasper Posted Jan 9, 2013, 6:46 pm	Hello mum, Today we said goodbye to Meomie. She continues her journey and will visit Germany. We sang a song of farewell and wished a safe journey. On Saturday we will have a great trip. Host mum will not tell us where we go. All we know is that we take the train, and the rest is a surprise. I can not wait. your Dolivia
Jasper Posted Jan 13, 2013, 1:49 pm	Hello mommy Yesterday morning we had to get up very early. At 7 clock we sat on the train. Our first stop was Zurich. There, we had just enough time to photograph the station and to find out where the journey takes. We will travel to Basel. Basel is one of the oldest cities in Switzerland, located on the River Rhine. The city, near the border with Germany and France is known for its chemical industry. After our arrival in Basel, we saw only a few steps from the train station Strasbourg Monument and the Bank for International Settlements. Our route took us to Elisabeth church next to the Theatre. We had a short break at the Tinguely fountain. This fountain, called Fasnacht Fountain was a gift of a great food discounter to the city of Basel. Then we saw the Basel Cathedral, located on the cathedral hill high above the Rhine. We had a magnificent view of the river and part of the city. The skyscrapers that you see in the center of the image, is the fair tower. Through narrow streets we found our way to the river Rhine. We crossed the "Middle Bridge" and could see the old town from the other side. On our way back we saw the red city hall. It was built in 1504-1514. After these many impressions we were exhausted and slept through the journey home. I hope you like Basel as much as I. Greetings, Dolivia
Jasper Posted Jan 18, 2013, 1:22 pm	Hello mum, Troot left us today. He traveled further to new adventures in another part of Switzerland. We had a small farewell party with cupcakes. Host dad had secretly eaten a TV Muffin, therefore Troot had to eat a big one. Then he packed his things and slipped into the envelope. We all wished him a good trip and checked that everything was in order. After his departure, some of us also grabbed the wanderlust. We have told a long time from our travels. Love you mum, bye bye. Dolivia
Jasper Posted Jan 23, 2013, 2:21 pm	Hello home Yesterday we had another farewell party. HelgaHH will travel back home, and Rocky Raccoon starts his first journey. Host mum baked a cake and took a group photo. As long as one can show us yet, she said. Then we ate cake and potato chips and crackers. We drank one or another glass of wine. Late at night we came upon a sentimental mood. Hase sang with fervor sad songs until host mum woke up and reminded us that even more people live in this house who want to sleep now. We had a last drink and went to bed. This morning it was time. We said goodbye to HelgaHH and Rocky. We gave both a group hug and they slipped into their envelopes. Bye, bye and have a safe trip. Also, bye, bye home. Dolivia
Jasper Posted Jan 26, 2013, 9:46 am	Yoohoo, Today a new TV arrived. A sweet dog named Wolley. He is from Guinea and will spend some time with us. We sat in our basket and told and laughed when suddenly a pointy nose sniffed over the edge. It was Wolley, who had just arrived. We welcomed him kindly. As he slept, he was very tired after his journey, we decided to cook a soup for him. A hot soup would be the right on such a cold day. We had a lot to do. Chop bacon, onions and lots of vegetables into small pieces. Fry the bacon and onions. Barley and small white beans are added. Then fill with meat broth. And then - charging the battery of the camera. After 1 1/2 hours, we added in the vegetables, stirred, and let cook for another 30 minutes. For dinner, we enjoyed a delicious soup. Satisfied and happy Dolivia
Jasper Posted Feb 2, 2013, 4:24 pm	Hello mum, the weather is going crazy. On Wednesday the sun was shining (as host mum had to work) and it was 14 degrees. Then we had bucketfuls of rain and storm. This morning it started to snow again. Within ten minutes everything was white. No chance to go outside. And then the bad luck, host mum has a torn ligament in the foot. I am a pharmacy TV and I give instructions on how the other have to maintain host mum. We'll get her back on her feet. On both feet. Until then Dolivia
Jasper Posted Feb 5, 2013, 1:34 pm	Hello mum, Last night we had a small farewell party with great pizza. Once again we had to say goodbye to grown fond friends. Lancel travels to China and Nils visits the U.S.. The weather here makes them a little easier to say goodbye. It's horrible, storm, rain and snow. Everything except sun. We gave both a group hug and wished them a safe journey. One last look and a bye and then starts their long journey and we are waiting for the next guests. See you mum, love you, Dolivia
Jasper Posted Feb 6, 2013, 6:23 pm	Hi mum, Last night we bet that we are going to have Wednesday's weather. We won. Wednesday's weather means good weather in the morning when host mum works and rain, snow, storm or doomsday when she comes home. Every Wednesday, the same game. But today, something was different. Host mum brought an envelope. We are all long enough TV's to know what that means. A new guest has arrived. Host mum opened the envelope. Curious, we stuck our noses into it. A small, green turtle looked towards us a little bit shy. Cosily the turtle climbed out and introduced himself. Shakespeare is his name and he brought gummy bears as greeting gift. I think he's a nice guy and we will have fun together. Greetings home Dolivia
Jasper Posted Feb 10, 2013, 6:32 pm	Hello to all the loved ones at home, Finally, after many days of bad weather, the sun is shining today. Host mum immediately grabbed us and we went on a winter walk. First we drove a short distance by car. But then we enjoyed the sun, the fresh air and the beautiful view. We trudged through the snow (80 cm. High) over small bridges, through narrow gorges and tunnels with huge icicles. We rested on the bench, which could be seen in the deep snow barely. I wished we could have done together. Enjoy the pictures as I have enjoyed the walk. I think of you. Dolivia
Jasper Posted Feb 14, 2013, 6:46 pm	Hi mommy, Yesterday we celebrated Lola's birthday. We sang happy birthday and wish her ​​all the best. Then there was chocolate and sweets. Today was beautiful weather. Sun much as you wanted. The best thing was, host mum did not have to work and we could take a winter walk. We walked up and down through the glistening snow. The sky was blue, the sun was shining, what more could you want? An adventure! On our way we saw the sign to the waterfall. The road, really just a path is a little dangerous. Narrow, steep and icy in the winter. We begged so much until host mum gave her ok. First she checked the phone connection. (In case we need the fire brigade or the helicopter to get us out.) Then it went off. From time to time our heart beat a little faster. And then we saw the waterfall is an icefall now. Everything around him was covered with ice. It looked great. That was our way back. Exhausting, but we did it. Love you mommy Dolivia
Jasper Posted Feb 19, 2013, 7:33 pm	Hello mum, watch our latest guest. Such a sweet, little sheep. And so much candy. We love her. The sheep and the sweets. What did you think. Sweet dreams Dolivia
Jasper Posted Feb 23, 2013, 12:33 pm	Hello my dears at home, with a loud roar our newest guest jumped in our quiet life. We were all terribly frightened. A tiger. After the initial shock was over Rico, the tiger has clarified his roar. He was happy to be out after a long journey from the envelope. He showed us his gift and we greeted him kindly. He seems to be quite nice, especially when he purrs. I miss you all Dolivia P.S. It's snowing for days, and unfortunately we can't go outside.
Jasper Posted Mar 3, 2013, 2:23 pm	Hi mommy, what a boring week. Jasper had to work full time, the weather was bad (two weeks with no sun, no more snow, but fog and rain) and host dad was sick. But yesterday we had a lot of fun. We celebrated Lille's birthday. She got a huge cake, a big lollipop and a little sheep. All kissed and hugged her and wished her all the best. Then she blew out the candle and cut the cake. It was great fun. I hope that next week things will get better. Love you mommy. Dolivia
Jasper Posted Mar 15, 2013, 3:29 pm	Hello mum, I hope you are well. Today we are preparing another farewell party. My farewell party. I will leave Switzerland and go to Greece. With our new Shopping Cart (Jasper brought it last week) we plundered all the cupboards and found much useful for a party. To reach the potato chips was a bit difficult We had almost everything together, just the popcorn was still missing. It was funny to look into the microwave and listen to the popping of the corn. Fresh, warm popcorn tastes wonderful. We made one last group photo, and all hugged me. Bye mum, see you in Greece. Dolivia Bye bye Dolivia have a lot of fun, much more adventure and a safe journey. What we did not know at this point - Rico will leave also. He also travels to Greece, to the same host as I. We hugged him and wished him a good trip. Then we slipped into the envelope and started our journey.
Despina Posted Apr 7, 2013, 7:04 pm	Hello aall!! I got Dolivia and Rico some days ago..and we have a great time here!
