Travelog for: Huhn

Hello world!
I am called "Huhn", which is basically German for hen/chicken and I have been called a little bit crazy. But only a bit. Sometimes. At least in my hearing. Which isn't all that good, truth be told. 

Hello Mum,

I arrived in Sülfeld today. Dicker Kumpel gave me a warm welcome.



Then he introduced me to the others. We will go on an exciting trip soon.



I will write soon - if we have internet access. But now I have to talk to the others. 

Love
Huhn

Hello Mum,

After a really long flight we arrived in Hanoi. We got our Visas and went to the hotel to relax.

Later in the afternoon we made a walk. Look, this is our Hotel. RikeH and I are sorry for the photos, but I was not able to stand still, because I am so excited to be here.



There are many motor scooter and motorbikes on the streets.



Back in the Hotel we had a delicious cocktail.



In our room we have a fruit basket. But I don't know all the fruits. Maybe you can
help me, Mum?



Before we went into the bed it was time to go into the bathroom. So many nice things
for me - I will be a very clean ToyVoyager!

Hello from Sapa,

today in Sapa we made a long walk. This is a ricefield - but the harvest already was over.



We went into the house of one family living here - the house was not big - and there are
21 people living in it.





Later we saw this nice waterfall.



Look - what a hard way for a small ToyVoyager like me.



I wanted to show you our room for this night.





Do you know, what this should be?



This is the view into the garden.



I found wonderful flowers.



We wanted to start a second walk onto a hill in the afternoon, but it was too foggy -
so we stayed at home...



... and had a nice time in front of the fireplace.

Hello from Halong Bay,

today we started on a big boat. I will show you the photo later. This was the view from the boat.  There are many - around 2000 - hills in the sea - now little islands. The weather was nicer than it looks like on the photos.



I really loved the view.



When we went nearer to the islands, we could see that there are green trees on the islands.



We made a stop at the Titop Island. It has his name by a Russian called Titov.
We climbed up the hill and had this nice view.  You can see our boat behind me -
it is the second one from the right with one sail.



we went back and sat down on the beach. I saw the boat from here, too.



Only sitting on the beach was boring - so Dicker Kumpel and I decided to make something exciting. Look:





This was fun!

Back on the boat - here is a view of our cabin.



I looked out of the window and saw another boat.



And a nearby island.



Later we went onto the boat deck - and I found a place next to the flag of Vietnam.



One hour later we visited Cua Van - the largest floating fishing village in Halong Bay.
There are about 130 floating houses and about 600 people live and work in the village.





Look - a fishing boat.



In the evening we spent some days on the deck drinking Cocktails - what a great day!

Hello from Hue,

today we will go by boat on the Parfume River. We went on a boat like this on the photo.



This was one view over the River.



This is the Thien Mu Pagoda (also known as The Heavenly Lady pagoda).



Here is a wonderful gate - with funny Statues in it. Can you see them?



Later we saw the Pagoda from another side.



This is the Happy Buddha. I likes his smile.



Another guard - I loved his face.



Then we went to another place - Tu Duc King's Tomb. A big place - not only with his tomb -
it was built many years before he died - and he loved to stay here - writing poems.



This big building was in front of his tomb.



There were Statues on the way. Guardians, a horse and an elephant.





Later we went to the Temple for the King.



There were many more buildings - but many were destroyed - as you can see here.

Hello from Hue again,

we have a lazy day in the nice hotel today. In the morning we played in the beautiful room.

First we jumped on the couch.





Then we went out onto the balcony.



I shared the rocking chair with Dicker Kumpel.



Then we all took a nap.



For lunch I had delicious fruits - given by this nice lady.



In the afternoon we went into the garden. I climbed up a palm tree.



Then I went to the pool.



This was the second pool here. Nice, too.





We relaxed next to the big pool - and talked a lot about our adventures here in Vietman.

Hello from Saigon,

When we arrived in Saigon we did some sightseeing and started with the Reunification-Palace.



We were able to see some rooms.This was a big meeting room.



This was a smaller living-room.



They had a garden - on the second floor - this was strange.



And this helicopter. Maybe I will have my own helicopter later, too?



Later we visited this church - called Notre Dame - it was built by the French - only
with things from France.



When we arrvied at our hotel room - I was very surprised. We have a great view over the city.
Especially when it went dark.



And we have our own garden - in the 7th floor - much better than in the palace...

Hi Mum,

Imagine that - I am on a really big River - called Mekong.
We started in a small city - with a nice church.



There were many boats here.



We went into a house where they make caramel candys.



Well there was more to see - we went faster.



The Mekong-River is really wide!



On the other side we went on a canal in an Island. I loved the Palm Trees.



Then we changed the boat and went on a row boat. This was nice and quiet.



Later it was time for lunch. We had this Elephant Ear Fish - it was yummy!



In the afternoon we relaxed in our hotel. There were nice flowers in the garden.



Can you see me?



We found this wonderful fruit basket in our room. Enough for a nice dinner!

Hello from Saigon,

We did some sightseeing out of our hotel-window today. This is the opera.



The building with the green on the roof is the town hall.



And we saw the Saigon River in the other direction.



In the evening we went outside to take some more photos. Our hotel behind the opera.



They decorated the hotel for the Christmas Season. Really colorful.



This was our last day in Vietnam - tomorrow we will go to Cambodia.

Huhn

Hi Mum,

many greetings from Cambodia - a new country on my list!

We visited two Temples today - the first one was Banteay Samre.



The carvings were wonderful - and the stone had a nice color!



Funny and strange creatures were the guardians.



I relaxed in the sun - and other tourists were laughing about RikeH - can you understand this?



Then we visited another Temple - called Banteay Srei. It had another color - and was much bigger.



Here you see, how big the buildings were.



A really intersting place - we should come here together, Mum.

Hello Mum,

we are in the capital of Cambodia now. We spent our days in a nice hotel and had a great time. We had a very big TV in the room - and loved to watch sport there.       



We had a lot of fun!



But then we decided that it would be better to go outside. We had our own pool.



It was great to sit next to it.



I had a good view from this Flower.



Look - there were wonderful green trees here.



We finished the day - and our holiday - sitting in the garden and talking a lot.



I really loved this holiday. Tomorrow we will fly back to snowy Germany.

Love
Huhn

Hello Mum,

imagine that - it is winter in Germany - really cold. We didn't want to make a walk with RikeH, because we are used to high temperatures. But today RikeH told us that it was time to go out.

Well - look - how it looked like in Sülfeld. Very snowy.



We made a break...



...but it was very cold - we sat in the snow.



The animals are safe in this place - this is nice.



So many snow - where is the sun?



These funny guys stood in front of our house.



And I found this nice plant in the garden - I love the red fruit on it.



At home we sat in front of the candles - it was so nice - and much warmer than outside.



Christmas will come soon - and we will have a tree inside the house - this is strange.

I will write more soon.

Love
Huhn

Merry Christmas, dear Mum,

today is the great day - when children and ToyVoyager get their gifts in Germany.

So we were very excited. First I played in the Advent wreath.



Look, this is the Christmas Tree of RikeH's Mum.



And we ate this delicious muffins.



Later it was time to meet Santa Claus! But we learnt that he was very busy - and sent
us a really good friend. Rudi, the red-nosed reindeer.



We sang some nice Christmas songs for him.



It was a success - and we got our presents!





I got wonderful things - and a 'Korn' - because chicken love Korn.



We had such a great time!



I hope that you had a great Christmas, too.

Hi Mum,

nice news - Murph came to visit us on the 26th of December - and his guests Frankie and Hoots arrived too, they will stay here for some more days with us.



They brought some gifts for us - what a surprise.



We talked a lot - then Murph told us that he will leave us, to spend some more time with Bine and Holgi. We gave him a big hug.



Today we heart someone knocking at the door. It is Archer. He came all the way from Shanghai and starts his life as a ToyVoyager here in Germany.



We told him a lot about our adventures.

Mum - I wish you a good start in the Year 2011.

Love
Huhn
