Travelog for: Shesh

My mommy told me today that I am becoming a Toyvoyager! I am so excited!

I would love to take part in a European RR. Let's see what will happen.

We went shopping in Eisenach and guess who we met!?

The Milka cow!

Today it was time to say GoodBye to
Tiplitaps, a tv which stayed in Thuringia for the Big German RR.
Before crawling into the box he did some scrapbooking and
showed me his passport.





He is on the way to Bavaria now. Have a good journey!

Today we went to Sonderhausen and the Music Academy for a choir
workshop. The weather is really cold here at the moment, in the
morning it was -19°C! brrrrrrr! There is also some snow here, more in
the north of Thuringia, then where we live.

When I arrived back home in the evening a package had arrived.

We were really curious about what's inside.



When we opened the lid we met Stoker a new guest on the
Big German RR. He will stay with us in February.





Welcome Stoker!

Because it is Carnival season we had our own little Carnival party at home!

First we needed some decoration.
Noisy had sent some crackers with Stoker's package and they came in  very handy!

Stoker pulled hard but the cracker did not go off.



Then he asked Dancer for help and we pulled and pulled - but the cracker did not go off.



They asked me for help and we pulled and pulled and pulled -  and finally
the cracker went off and we were all covered in paper streamers!







Now we needed costumes.
One of us decided to go as Santa, one was a mummy and one of us was a ghost.
Can you guess who is who?!



For a real Carnival in Germany you need doughnuts!



Mmmmhhhhhh, they were so yummy!

Today I crawled into the envelope and started my journey on the ETVT.
My first stop is with miapearl in Wales!

CU mom!

Woo hoo Mum, I have arrived

Lizzy Lizard arrived at the same time. We won't get bored here, there's a 3000 piece jigsaw to do!

Hi Mum,
Today, we went out on the bus. My host wanted to buy the new issue of stamps.

We had time afterwards for a quick visit to Criccieth before having to get home before the end of the school day.

Criccieth has a castle. We didn't have time today to visit it, but other toy visitors here have..

Hi Mum,

Today is a sunny day so we popped to my host's allotment.

This Purple Sprouting Broccoli looks tasty.

Hi Mum,
My host heard about a craft and seed fair in Conwy, a historic walled town about an hour away by bus.

We came early on the bus and shared a nice pot of tea over breakfast.

Conwy lies on a river mouth. There is an RNLI station so we had a look at the lifeboat.

This is a "mussels" statue

Look at all those boats.

We went for a short walk along the town walls.
Afterwards, my host bought some seeds.

Hi Mum,

Just wanted to say Hi. We are going out somewhere.

Hi Mum,
Today, we have come to the seaside town of Rhyl on the North Wales coast

There are some amusement rides here for the kiddies.

There is a beach though it does look a bit cold down there with the wind.

No wonder there are wind turbines out at sea.

The Sky tower is undergoing refurbishment.

So, we decided to take a look at Terror Tombs.

It is dark!

I am not frightened...

Hi Mum,
Today, we've come to the allotment.

There's a big black cat snoozing the afternoon away.

Time for a little nibble on some fresh purple sprouting broccoli.

Pretty blossom on the greengage tree.

Hi Mum,
After visiting the allotment, we went for a mystery drive.

My host says there is a geocache this side of the bridge we crossed.

Here it is!

We had to cross the tracks of the Welsh Highland Railway. We looked both ways to check the crossing was clear.

Then on the way back, we stopped off at a garage with a carwash.



The car should be sparkling clean shortly!
