Vienna, Austria - 24th April 2012
By: curious77
Hi mum,
We went to the city centre of Vienna. We went to see a beautiful clock. Next to it, we saw a very funny advertising poster. Then we went to famous St. Stephen's Cathedral. Walking through the city centre, we saw two traditional coffee houses and a Fiaker carriage. Vienna is a great city!

nature trail, Austria - 28th April 2012
By: curious77
Hi mum,
We've just come back from a nice trip. We went to a nature trail. Near the entrance, we also saw a circus. I hope those fellows were not feeling too hot in the sun. At the nature trail, you can learn a lot about bees, other animals and trees. You are also invited to rest and look up at the treetops - can you see me? The final challenge was to cross a rope bridge - I did it! Now I'll have an ice-cold drink!

Hosts' Home, Austria - 29th April 2012
By: curious77
Hi mum,
How are you? I hope fine. Curious77 told me that she would be quite busy for a week or a bit longer, so we might not be able to do something exciting or upload new photos. But don't worry if we don't have time to go out. I have lots of books to read and it's so hot that I'm really happy relaxing on the balcony. My hosts make nice dinner every day. I'll get back to you as soon as I have something interesting to tell again! Hugs from Austria!

By: curious77
Hi mum,
How are you?? Finally, I'm posting some new photos. Unfortunately, the weather was really bad this weekend. I would like to have the first bbq of the year Instead, we played some games. First we played Bohnanza - you have to collect beans. Then we played Domino and afterwards we made a little experiment. We might not make it into the Guinness Book of Records but we had fun anyway!

Vienna, Austria - 18th May 2012
By: curious77
Hi mum,
Last night we went to a pub quiz at one of the many Irish pubs in Vienna. One of my hosts drank a shandy, which is called "Radler" in Austria. I had a chicken salad. The quiz was not easy. We did not know all the answers and had to guess some, but in the end our results were quite good.

I also rode on a horse...well, not a real one but it was fun And I saw the highest flying swing ever, they went up and up and up.....

Hi mum,
I'm getting ready to go to my next host!! I'm very excited! I came here in spring and now I'm leaving when summer is arriving (more or less). Would have liked to try some homegrown tomatoes and beans, but it's still too early! I'll write again as soon as I've arrived! Hugs!

Hello Mummy!
I arrived save and sound in Lichtenfels!
After a long time shaken in the envelope I heard a lot of excited voices. I noticed that I might had arrived at my new hosts! How exciting! I prepared my hair and sat me in position
Hello, I am Fimbo!
Wow, so much TVs here! They made me a warm welcome and I talked about my last journey to Austria. I was introduced to Günther, he has the same stripes like me , to Wavy Gravy, he is as colourful as I am, to Cheerio, she is as bright as I am and last but not least to Aaron who helped me out in vited me on the sofa. But I prefered the deck chair to take a nap.
More tomorrow!
Love you, Mummy!
Yours, Fimbo

Nueremberg, Germany - 22nd June 2012
By: Yosemite
Hey Mummy!
Today we made a trip to Nueremberg! I would have liked to go by car, but it was not big enough for all TVs So we took the train. To have a comfortable trip we had a cappucciono and something to read. Hostmum bought a familiy ticket and so we could occupy four seats
In Nueremberg we inspected the opera house, the Lorenzkirche, a big nur cracker infront of a shop where you can buy christmas decoration the whole year!
We made a short rest on the bridge across the river Pegnitz.
The next station was the Hauptamrkt. There takes place the famous Christkindlesmarkt in December. On the balkony of the church in the background stands every year the christ child and openes the market!
WOW, so much impressions!
Now I am really tired and go to bed!
Love you, Mummy!

Lichtenfels, Bavaria, Germany - 29th June 2012
By: Yosemite
Hi, Mum!
Today we got an envelope. Maybe a new TV??? I was so excited, what will be inside? I took the scissors and opened it. It was the cute bear girl Bernie originally from Australia. She came directly from her former host in Moscow to Lichtenfels! She showed us some souvenirs from Moscow and we talked a lot about our adventures.
And guess what! Hostmum told us that we will go on a trip on Monday. But she didn´t tell where we will go. Now we think about...
Love you, Fimbo

Miniwelt, Lichtenstein, Germany - 7th July 2012
By: Yosemite
Hello Mummy!
On our way back from Berlin we stopped in Lichtenstein at the Miniworld. There a lot of sights are rebuilt in scale 1:25.
Just take a look, what I saw in only one hour!
The first picture we made is exspecially for you! It is the aerial cableway of Wuppertal! I felt like home!
Then there was a pretty gate, located in Lübeck. It is called the Holstentor.
The cathedral of Speyer is also a very impression building. Even in this scale!
To remember our trip to Berlin we took a picture in front of the ensemble of Brandenburg Gate and Siegessäule and posed in the garden of castle Sanssouci in Potsdam.
Time to leave Germany! There were also sights from all over the world! I saw the grat wall of China, originally 21.000 km long! How crazy is that???
And the intersting Sydney Opera House in Australia, a world heritage, built in the 20th century.
Wow, what a phantastic trip around the world!
Yours, Fimbo

Hello Mummy!
Today I got my very first Yoga lesson! Bierle, a resident plushy was our teacher. For the beginning we did a short meditation. Oooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Our first position was the "dog". There you have to lift your bottom to the ceiling
Very funny to watch the others
The next position was the "cobra". Not mine, but I did my very best. At the end we relaxed and this was wonderful!
See our relaxed and happy Yoga class!

Hello Mummy!
Today we accompanied hostmum to Wuerzburg. While she was at the doctors we explored the city. And - just look - what I saw! Cryptic footprints! I followed them and stood right in front of a monster!
Puuuuuuuuuuuuh, then I noticed it was made from wood!
I wanted to go, but the others convinced me to go to the residence. In the garden I took place under these wonderful tree, a yew. Can you see me?
another monster! It was a lion, thank god made from stone!
And to the end of the day, I relaxed in front of wonderful and colourful flowers!
Great day!
Yours, Fimbo
