Orange, New South Wales, Australia - 11th April 2008
By: sararingham
Hello! My name is Lucky Duck I was found in a supermarket and after a lot of questioning with the staff, my new mom realised I was left by someone - and they offered me to her so I came to a new home. Shortly after I got to my new home I laid down and relaxed on the lounge...
...That's when I was quickly approached by 3 other toyvoyagers... well, one of them is an official toyvoyager from the Netherlands, which is the red long haired mouse, he's called Bon, and then there's Toothy Walrus and Roots Bear.
Bon told us all stories about his travels, even though he hasn't traveled much yet, he's excited to travel more... and then Sara joined in the conversation and showed me some places where I might be going...
I saw these beautiful postcards and I decided it was time for me to see the world as well. I'd love to see ducks, and birds from all over the world. I'd love to feed ducks from all over the world! I'd love to see lakes, oceans, any kind of water source. I love the water as I'm sure you'd know, but I don't like getting in, I don't think my skin would like that so much, as you might not quite know I'm not a REAL duck... yet...
So anyone want to host cute little old me? I'd love to visit you!

Oh boy I'm so tired....they should call me Jetlag Duck instead of Lucky Duck! I arrived here in The Netherlands, but I haven't been able to do any site seeing or duck feeding yet. So far all I've done is rest! My flight here was way too crowded for comfort. Tomorrow I'll check out the city of Nijmegen and see if I can meet some ducks or see some other exotic birds.

Kronenburger Park, Netherlands - 26th April 2008

Today was such a wonderful day! When I first got to the park I made some daisy chains and enjoyed the sun.
Then I met a couple of nice chaps. They were very friendly, although they sure had a funny accent!

Kronenburger Park, The Netherlands - 27th April 2008
By: vanessa
Today the weather was so nice I decided to go back to the park and I'm so glad I did. Because one of my Life Missions is to visit lakes and ponds around the world and feed ducks, I thought I'd do a little of that today. I put out some bread and this gorgeous lady showed up!! We shared some old bread and she was totally flirting with me.
I thought I was just about to score her digits when he showed up!
Anyway, I didn't see a ring or anything, but I guess she was spoken for. I decided to move on, which turned out to be loads of fun. I ended up picnicking in the park with this crowd:

Cute! This morning I went out jogging and guess what I saw!? I was just taking a breather when I spotted this goose family.
See the little house on the island at the top of the picture? That's where the ducks sleep here...maybe I can spend the night there sometime!!
Anyway, I shared some bread with the baby geese and then watched them get a swimming lesson from dad!

The Hague, Netherlands - 30th April 2008

Last night was Queen's Night (Today is Queen's Day). I haven't seen any other ducks taking part in the celebrations, but I have seen a lot of crazy Dutchies in orange! Last night I went to some big street parties, but my host forgot her camera. Today I visited the beach in Scheveningen. I know it wasn't an ocean, but I was still excited!
I really wanted to make some sand castles, but it started to rain.[img][/img]
Here I am goofing around with a big plastic fish.
This is the Kurhaus Hotel.

Today I visited some typical Dutch sights.
This is me by a real mill! I think I look a little funny in the picture, but the mill looks nice! This is St. Anna Mill.
And this being prime tulip season, I had to stop and enjoy the flowers!!

Oh what beautiful sunny weather we're having here!! Today I went out for a jog in the morning by St. Stephen's Church.
This city really is pretty, but I think I'm itching to go someplace new!
This is me sitting in the window of my host's house. Sometimes we go down to the terrace you can see and have a beer in the sun. In fact, today is Friday, so I might just have to go down there tonight!

Cardiff, United Kingdom - 30th May 2008

Hi there!
I'll let you with some photos me and Amelie took still in Cardiff.
The first two are in the Cathays Cemetery, where almost all tumbs have celtic crosses.
The last one is from a lunch we had with kidney pie, so typical in UK and with an awsome taste.
Lucky Duck
