Travelog for: *Snowball*

Hello everybody.

My name is, Snowball. I’m a little cheap from the island Texel in the Netherlands.
My biggest wish is, to become a great tourist guide.



Today I met Happy Ping and PinkyHH. They told me everything about Toy Voyagers. It sounds really great. Because of that, I decided to go with them and stay with my new mum in Bochum. There I can show all the TV’s, who will visit her, around Bochum and the “Ruhrgebiet”.

But before we went back to Germany, I will guide Ping and Pinky around Texel for the next two days.
First I showed them De Burg. This is a very cute little city. There are lots of very cool shops here.



After we finished our tour through De Burg we traveled on to De Koog, to buy some ingredients for lunch. We met a very nice seal in front of the supermarket. We we’re allowed to sit on her back while we waited for the shopping to be put into the car.





Isn’t this a great church?



Next we went to Bollekamer. This is a nature protection area, in which wild horses and cows live.
When we arrived there we had a lot of luck, just beyond the entrance of the area there grazed a group of wild horses.





The landscape looks great with all the snow. You can look very far.





Here we have some free living cows. They have very long fur and gigantic horns. I think it’s good that they aren’t too close to us.





Because the others needed to warm up a little, we went back home.
After the others warmed up, we went to Cocksdorp to the lighthouse. The lighthouse is really huge. And right next to the lighthouse there is a BIG beach.





I showed the others the great sunset you could see from here.





Here you could see the North Sea.



Since everybody else was freezing because of the wind, we started our journey back home.

Good morning.

Today we went back to Germany. But before we leave we made a small trip to “De Schlufter”. It’s another beautiful beach to have a walk there.

First we have to cross the bank, to get to the beach. We’re very high above here so we have a great view.









There are a lot of small, hidden watercourses which are mostly frozen due to the cold weather. Anyway you have to watch your steps so that you don’t slip on the ice or break through it.  But it wasn’t a problem for us, because I leaded everybody safe around the water.







At some places where the water is not frozen you can see some sea-gulls.





Even though it is very windy we managed to get to the sea, but because the wind is so freezing cold we have to start our journey back immediately.
So we looked around a bit while we are traveling back.









Later when we were on the ferry, we looked out of the window during the cruise. In the harbor there are lots of sea-gulls flying around the ship.





Bye bye Texel.  I will miss you, but I have to make my dream come true.
See you again one day.

Hello Everybody!

Today two new TV’s arrived, their names were Ranil and Captain. Mum was really happy to see them. We gave them a warm welcome.















Captain took out his Travel book and showed it to us.  It looks really cool.





Later we helped Ping sewing a costume for Venice. It was really funny, but also a lot of work.























Here you can see the great costumes the other had made for the carnival.



I wish them a lot of fun in Venice.

Hi Everybody!

Today, we went to friends from my parents. Here we met two new friends, Hubertus the monk and Cosy the Teddy.







In the evening we were playing some games.  Hubertus gave us some sweets before we started playing. They were really yummy.  After that Cosy taught us the rules of the game “El Grande”.









We played against each other. It made a lot of fun.









When the game was over I had won. Yeah I’m the best





After that we played “Triomino”. It’s a really cool game.

Today the others went to Venice. I wish them a wonderful trip and that they have a lot of fun.

Meanwhile I will spend the days with the others at home.



I will use the time, to learn more about my new home and the “Ruhrgebiet”  on the Internet, so I could be a great tour guide to the TV’s who will visit us in the future.

Good Morning Mum!

Today mum told us, that Captain and Ping will travel to their next hosts.

Because this is the last time that we were all together, we planned to go bowling. Ping had told us about it and it sounds really funny.
First we looked around and Ping explained us, how to play.







After that, I was searching for a bowling ball. Oh I want to take the dice. I hope it brings me luck. But before I could play with it, I should clean it.









Because it was Saturday night there where a competition, which lane was the best in a certain time. Yeah, we made the third place in the competition.











What should I drink?



Hmm this drink is really good. But I shouldn’t drink too much of it. Wow everything seems to be turning around.







After a time, we needed a little Break. This game is very exhausting.





Then it was my turn. I think I was really good in this game.





I had a great view from here.





While it was Pings turn, I build a throne for myself, so I could reach the coke better.





At the end we were waiting for the final result.





Ping was the winner and I made the last place. I was so disappointed. How could this happen to me?!



Bowling made a lot of fun and I think it was a great ending of the time that we spend together. But now we are all very tired. Let’s go to bed.



Good night

Today was really sad, because Captain and Ping were traveling to their new host. So we had to say goodbye.



We hugged each other and wished them a save journey. I think I will miss my new friend Captain. But hopefully we will meet again one day.











And I will miss my new family member Ping. I wish him a wonderful trip and that he comes back safety.









Before they left, Happy sang a wonderful song for them.







At the end we made one last group picture together



Then they went into their envelops.





Good bye Captain and Ping.

Today I want to show you the first part of my Photo gallery, I made with our guest TV’s.

Here I am with Captain. He is an old sea bear.





And this is Ranil, a very friendly Frog.





This is PinkyHH. Isn’t she cute?





And here I am with Happy Ping, he is a member of my new family.

Today was a very funny day. We went to the friends from my parents again.



At first we were playing some games on the X- Box. We played Soul Calibur. At the end, Ranil won the game.







After that, we took a little break and ate some mini pizzas. They were really tasty.





Hmm there is only one left. I think we should cut it into pieces and share it.



Later we sang some songs on Ultrastar. It made so much fun.





I was singing Imagine. The others said that it was good.



And at the end I tasted some red wine. It was yummy, but I think I shouldn’t drink too much of it.

Today we planned to go to Sea Life, but unfortunately we were a little late and didn’t want to stand one hour in the line. So we decided to go the Cento.



The Centro is one of the two biggest shopping malls here in the Ruhrgebiet.
Here were so many people.





This is the best shop in the mall. The Build a Bear Shop.





In the evening we played Mississippi Queen.
Pinky sat down on her boat. It looked really funny.



Oh I hope that Ranil will not win, I can’t look.



Now it’s my turn. Hmm what should I do?



Yeah I have won and Ranil made the second place.



Pinky made the third place



After the game Pinky and I decided to play a short round Thunder Stone

Hallo Everybody,

today a new TV arrived at our home.





His name is Freddi and he is a hedge hock.
We gave him a warm welcome.







When he spoke over his experiences on his tours, A’Tuin wanted to travel too. So she tried to get into Freddi’s envelope.



But she was a little bit too big for it. So we started to help her out. It took a while, but then we made it.







A’Tuin was happy when she gets out of the envelope.  After that she wanted to stay at home, because she was afraid of the small envelope.





It is a little bit sad, that we had to say goodbye to Ranil today, but before he got into his envelope, we took one last group picture together.



Then it was time to say goodbye. We hugged each other and wished him a save jurney.







Then I went into the envelope. I will miss him, he is a very friendly frog.

Hello Everybody.

Today was a little bit sad, because we had to say good bye to PinkyHH. She will travel on to her next host.
Before she left, we hugged her and wished her a good and save trip and that she will have a lot of fun there.





Good bye Pinky, we will miss you.



Now Freddi and I are alone here. But mum, told us, that a new TV will visit us soon. His name is Viper and he is a Snake. We were so curious how he will look, so we had a look at his Profile.



I think he looks really nice and I think we could be good friends.

See you soon

Today started very funny. This afternoon we want to visit some friends from my parents, to play some games there. Because of that I wanted to bake a cake for that.
Hmm I think this bowl should be big enough.



What do you think how much we three weigh together?



First Freddi put the baking mixture into the bowl, which Viper had opened





Then we needed the eggs. Hmm I love eggs. It made a lot of fun playing with the eggs together with Freddi.









Oh look we got new hats.



I put the butter and Viper the milk into the bowl. Then it was time for the blender.
After that Freddi and I were searching for the right cake pan. I thing this should be good.











While the cake was into the oven, we helped dad preparing dinner.
We were making “Wok-Pfanne” and I was cutting the corn.



Hmm it tasted really good when it was done.



In the evening we went to the friends from my parents. When we arrived we were eating the cake before we started playing Puerto Rico.



Hmm what should I buy?





I choose the captain. Now I can start to load my products onto the ships.



At the end of the game, Freddi and I were putting everything together



Later we were playing Thunderstone.



This hand seems to be good. I hope I can win this game.



This was a wonderful day.

Today we were really hard working. Mum planned to make spring-cleaning and we wanted to help her.
First we started changing the bedclothes. Freddi opened the zipper from the blanket and we all together pulled the blanket out of the duvet cover.





Wow this is very tiring, but we will make it. The blanket is really heavy.



Yes we made it



After that I opened the sipper from the pillow and Viper and Freddi helped me pulling the pillow out of the pillowcase





Then we changed the bed sheet





After that Freddi and I helped Viper putting on the new duvet cover on the blanket.



It took a while but now we the bed is ready and we are very proud that we made it.



Then the next challenge started. We planned to put these games to the other games into the game board. I think this should be difficult.





Here I found a little space for one game.



Look, this game fits here. I am very happy about it.



Oh we can’t find any more space for the other games.



So we put them aside under this board



After that we went on cleaning the bedroom. I cleaned the bed table and I think I did it quite well.





And at the end I took the vacuum cleaner. It was very heavy and loud.





I am glad the bedroom is ready. Now we went on to the kitchen.
We took of the winter decoration from the windows. Shilo wanted to do it two weeks ago, but then she hasn’t got the time for it, so we were going to help her.







These stars were sticking on us. But I think we look cute with them. What do you think?



Oh mum look. There is a heron on the roof. I haven’t seen one before, it was really cool.





Now I only had to clean the microwave, then the kitchen is ready. Mum was very proud of us, that we helped her so much.



After that we all were so tired that we fell asleep.
Good night

Today was a great day. Yesterday was mums birthday, so dad made a strawberry torte for her.
I think she looks really great.



Wow the torte was really yummy.



Can I have one more please?



After that we went to a garden Centre to buy some spring flowers.
Wow these trees were huge



I love these wonderful colorful flowers.





Look this bonsai is bigger than I am



In the evening we planned to go to the cinema to watch “One Life”, but before the film started, we went to “Pizza Hut” for dinner. It was really good.





Then we got our cinema tickets.



But we had to wait a little before we could get in.



Freddi, Viper and I shared one seat.



I am so curious how the film will be



Oh he film begins, now we have to be silent



Oh wow the movie was so great. They showed so many animals and places there. I hope I can see some of the places on my own one day. It would be so cool.
