Travelog for: Joesy

Hello world!

Here I am!

I lived here in my own Garden-Center-Jungle, only my brothers and sisters were here, too.
Today I heard some funny noises. They giggled and gaggled and laught a lot.
I took the risk for a look out of my palms, and I saw some real funny guys! They sat in a red bag and looked for a palm to climb for Mooky. As I understood, Mooky was a little monkey from USA visiting Germany.

And do you know, what I did? I called my brothers and sisters and told them what I have seen. Than we deciced, that we all want to follow this group of interesting boys and girls. and - thank god- we are very fast, we hopped into the red bag noisless. Nobody heard us coming , nobody saw us!

Today my brothers and I should sit down and be quiet.
That was a hard job for us, but Noisy want to make a picture that shows our Monkey-Gang.

Oh, I am the cute girl sitting on the sofa 

Noisy has got an invitation for sending one of her TVs on the ETVT, and she couldn't choose one herself. All possible candidates were very cute and each one has its own character.
So we decided to make a lottery, the one and only prize was the traveltag. Fiete was our fortune.


And the winner of the travel-tag was my sister YoYo!
I wish her a lot of fun and very nice hosts on her adventures.

Before I will start my first trip today, Hessen-Leo wanted to show me some nice houses in the Old-City of Limburg.


Noisy will write some descriptions between the  pictures, but this must be shown to her this noon by her son, *she is a little stupid with this things*

I'm ready to hop into my travelbox!

hello mommy! 

after WEEKS of travelling in a shaking box i have finally arrived.


haha, very funny. i have got a lamp but nothing to read. grumbl! so i ate the chocolate. pffff 


suddenly the shaking stopped and my travel box was dropped heavily. ouch! i am a lady, be careful! my nails!


strange sounds. it was like someone tried hard to open the box.


then another little monkey and a smiling teddy looked into the box: "hellooooo? somebody in here?"


they opened the box an came nearer. those guys asked all kinds of questions. they were quite curious.


we talked and talked the whole night. i think those people are really nice guys! it was a very warm welcome. we ate all the rest of the sweets.

good bye mommy, i miss you

hello mommy.
today i was sitting together with 3*euro the whole day discussing.
this boy is quite nice.

hello mommy.

today we, 3*euro and i went to a borough of berlin called spandau. spandau has a nice old town. spandau is 7 years older than berlin. to move through the city we dicided to lend a shopping trolley. so we were able to take some snacks with us.


we started at the market place ...


... moved on to saint nicolai's church.


in front of it is a statue of marquis joachim, who converted with his people to the lutheran faith.


view to the borough hall at the end of the main street.


this is an old brewery. they serve tasty beer here.


it has many ...


... old houses.


river havel.




the disadvantage of old cities the streets are humbling.


back to saint nicolai's.






berlin water works have funny gullies with pivtures of the city's sights.




later we went to the citadel, europe's best preserved renaissance castle from the 16th century.






albrecht the bear, the first german count in this area.




julius tower. it burried the prussian state treasure.




time for a snack.














we decided to dash down this ramp.


hahahaha ... at the end we turned over with the trolley. but it was really funny!




bye bye mommy, this was a funny day with good weather 

hello mommy.


ey ... what's this?


it is me and 3*euro sleeping on a very comfortable banana leaf.


after waking up ...


... we have had a very healthy breakfast. hmmmm ... tasty strawberries.


since the weather was very nice - with a smiling sun and warm temperatures - we drove our trolley to a park.






do you see the royal bird on the lake?


a building called belvedere, good view. it used to be the tea house of the kings and queens. now it has a porcellain exhibition. good we haven't brought the elephants with us!


old buildings are not trolley accessible.




nice flowers.


a good place for a snack.






charlottenburg castle. cobble stones on the yard.






later we decided to go shopping.














then we drove to the former airport in tempelhof, now a huge park.


















it was strange to move on former airport runways.

this was a really nice day. bye bye mommy - i miss you. 
p.s.: 3euro is a friendly and handsome boy, isn't he?

huhu sisters and brothers and mommy.

this is me an my friend 3*euro. today we tried something special. the count (one of the plushies here) told us we should fly. hea? fly? yes he said, with a flying cup.

errr, it was not easy to fly with a coffee cup. everybody is able to fly a sorcer. but a cup?


here we landed at a strange bridge: the old sewer system crosses a canal overground. they have built funny things a hundred years ago.


modern architecture.


the canal ("landwehrkanal" for insiders).


more ...


... modern ...


... architecture. the tree behind us threw something at us ...


... but missed us. hehe.


hey mommy! look at this funny house boat on the other side of the canal.


today springtime has begun. some trees have got fresh leaves. see them?


then we flew ...


... a little bit through the city.


hey! what's this? some trees grow strange fruits: faces! unbelievable.


look at those chimneys! behind us is a malt factory of a large beer brewery.

flying around in a cup, was very funny.

bye bye mommy and sisters and brothers: i miss you all! 

hello mommy.
the last two days have been very surprising and exciting.


after a quick and strong coffee early yesterday morning (i really MEAN early!)

one of the elefants, 3*euro and me took place in a very comfortable

travel bag.


after some hours (we could sleep a little bit.) the three of us climbed out of

the bag.


mommy, where have we got to?


let's go through this town and see where we have landed.


must be a big city. Mommy, do you regognize this town?


the weather was nice, warm and sunny.


so we decided to visit a big park.




look, here is a large tower.


it was funny to slide down this sculpture. huuuuueeeee!








the elephant found a nice lawn to have a break.










we were waiting, but no train came along.


we saw many nice flowers ...


... and strange sculptures.


what tree is this?


looks like summer is coming.






this was a very nice visit to this park.


we went back to the underground and returned ...


... to the city centre.


yesterday evening we were very tired and fell asleep quite soon.


today we had a good plan. right after breakfast ...


... we wanted to visit a coal mining site.




yes we found some coal. it did not taste good ...


... so we went further without it.


on the lawn we made a lunch break.




then we returned back to the town.


there we found out ...


... that they have a beer museum.


see the bottling machine?




at the end we were able to drink some beer out of a barrel. yummy, very yummy.

mommy, did you find out, were we have been yesterday and today?

bye bye, i miss you (a little bit) 

p.s.: 3*euro is a good boy, a good friend of mine! 

hello mommy.


today we started with a small trolley race!


unbelievable how fast bears drive!


unbelievable how slow wulfs drive!


it really was fun ...


... to speed up an the parquet floor.


hah hah!


when we heard the braekfast call, the concentration of our drivers was gone: they hit frontally!


after braekfast we visited potsdam. today we took the flying coffee cup.


this brandenburg gate in potsdam. one of the old town gates, that you still can see.


potsdam is, where king frederick the great built his residential castle on a vineyard. Yes: a vineyard in prussia! is it a myth that they used the wine from this yard instead of salad dressing? who knows?


the castle really is a nice one: it is called sanssouci = without sorrow. what a good name for a nice castle like this!


in the park of sanssouci there are a number of other castles.


this is the orangerie, where they still store the orange trees (and others) during wintertime.


and they also have a chinese tea house. what a nice idea!

mommy i love you! 

hello mommy.


this morning we all were just trolling around our hosts' appartment.


suddenly a strange noise came up: "queekqueekqueek...".


we all came nearer to see who was coming.


it was a funny car with a real BIG yellow pig and a small blue elephant.


the resident plushies all were very excited: it was a new guest from switzerland: miggy and brought little napoleon back home ...


we all were so happy to see napoleon back home. especially his brother hannibal.


we wre also curious to see miggy the new guest. he piled up a lot of swiss chocolat he brought brought along.

since it is 3*euro's last day here, we have planned a farewell tea party. so we decided to make it a real big welcome and farewell tea party! 


i really was a great party. it's a pity that 3*euro has to leave tomorrow. will i see him again?

many greatings - see you soon!


more pictures of the party?

hello mommy.

this morning we stood up very early to say good bye to 3*euro. he has to leave for his next adventures.


i guess me and 3*euro have become good friends.


he is a nice guy. i gave him a chocolat bunny as an easter present.


then he jumped into his travel box.


hihi ... i gave him a tiny little kiss 

then they closed his box and brought him to the post office.

i am a bit sad now. will i see him again?

hello mommy.

it has become quieter here since 3*euro left. i also think, that the plushies here in the house have something in mind for this weekend. there must be something special. hm, let's see 


yesterday my host took me with him in his car. we drove from one of his jobs to the next. well the weather was not tooooo good. but i have seen something. better than staying at home.


berlin is really a big town. every day you can see something different.


this is charlottenburg townhall. charlottenburg is one of the old borroughs of berlin. before it joined with berlin it was prussia's richest town. you can tell this from this huge townhall.


it also has modern buildings ...


... like these at a big traffic circle ...


... or near zoo railway station.





lovely greetings. i miss you, mommy!
