Travelog for: Pingu

Dear Pingu,

Thanks for keeping up up to date with what you have been up to.  What an amazing holiday you have been on.

I particually liked the photo of Switzerland as we visited there in 2005.

I have never been to Italy - but I am visiting there next February for a school skiing trip.  I don't think I'll be visiting all the exciting places that you have though (and I hope there'll be a bit nmore snow!).

Pisa and Pompeii looked amazing on your photos, as did Venice - which I had never fancied visiting till I saw them.
I've always wanted to go to Rome though - and your photos have re-inforced that.

Safe journey back to the Netherlands. Look forward to hearing what you get up to next.

Love Mum.

Hi mum!

I have more exciting news to tell you! Today it's time to leave for our next holiday! Check out the cool van we had to leave for the holiday!



Hugs Pingu

We arrived in Austria the same day. We stayed in a Landall Greenpark near the town Gargellen. The view was beautiful!!





We are going to do really cool things in Austria, lots of walking and swimming! 9th of August we will leave for another country!!

On our way to our next holiday-stop we went through a very small country. Called Liechtenstein! We saw the capitalcity Vaduz. Unfortunately there wasn't much time to make photo's, but look at this one:

The next week of our holiday is in Switzerland! On top of the hill of the village Wildhaus is our very big house. For all of the family of Marjoleins boyfriend Kasper. This is a familyreunion! I met everyone!

This is our house:



And this is the view:



The family's name is Paping, so they had their own flag!!

My guardian has been to Vaduz, but it was long before she got me.  So it was nice that I could see it for myself.

We did really cool stuff. On sunday we went on a picknick on a mountain! We roasted sausages on a campfire! Look at the beautiful surroundings:

Dear Pingu,

I'm very jealous of you on your holiday in Switzerland.

Switzerland is my favourite place that I have visited and it is not fair that you are there and I am not!!!

In Unterwasser, they have a very famous waterfall! The Thurwasserfällen.

The last day of our holiday, we stayed in because of the rain. We did saw a beautiful rainbow!

Pfieuw we're finally home! It took a lot of time, because 38 km before Den Bosch, the car broke down!! We had to wait for hours and hours for someone to get us. But we did ride into a really big truck!!

Hi mum,

It was the open day of the Footballclub FC Groningen today! Marjolein goes here since FC Groningen playes football in the stadium the Euroborg, which is since 13 January 2006. It a really cool green stadium. I sat at a chair in the dressingroom for the guests! We also went to the dressingroom of the players, it had a really big green bathtub!

After the day at FC Groningen we went to the annual festival in Groningen called Noorderzon. At Noorderzon it's always fun with theater, music and lots of food! I saw a really cool car, with speakers so we could hear really cool sixties music coming from the car! Chompers thought the car was so cool, he jump right onto it to have his photo taken!

Hi mummy!

We went to visit Marjolein's boyfriend at his internship at the footballclub PSV Eindhoven! We weren't allowed to make photo's inside the stadium but we made some cool shots in front of the stadium. Maybe you remember I went inside the stadium in May?!



The guy on the photo is Coen Dillen. He was a famous footballplayer for PSV. He played at the club in the fourties, fifties and sixties. He stands in front of the stadium.



On the background is the entry-gate to the stadium. You can see the sign of PSV and the words: 'Eendracht maakt macht'. This means something like: United we stand stronger.





Hugs Pingu

Hello!
