Travelog for: Big foot

Hello Mommy,

today we did a walk in an urban park near the station Gleisdreieck. This park is really new and not everything is opened yet.
Here we found an old watch tower from the time when Germany was divided.


We spent a lot of time watching the yellow metro... It's a great place where you can see it, because normally it's going underground.

Hey Mom,

we spent this beautiful day walking along the old elevated dump. The sun was shining so bright!

Night cruise through the city Dessau...

Hei Mommy,

we made a trip by train!
At this time of the year the countryside looks really boring.



We saw some interesting trains...


...lost stations...


...the river Mulde...


...and passed a small city named Bitterfeld.


Our destination was Halle/Saale. It's a very important economy and education-center in east Germany. The University of Halle-Wittenberg is the biggest university in Saxony-Anhalt and one of the oldest Universities in Germany.
As our host had something to do in the city we had a little bit time to walk around.

We noticed LOTS of all kind of towers everywhere!
This is the Leipzig Tower (Leipziger Turm). It was built in the 15th century and remains of the town wall in the south of the city centre.


The Red Tower (Roter Turm) in front of me was originally built as campanile of the older St. Mary's Church between 1418 and 1503 and is a famous landmark of Halle. I hope you can see it as I'm standing next to the church.


The Market Church of St. Mary (Marktkirche) was built in 1529–1554 while using elements of two medieval churches: St. Gertrude's Church dating back to the 11th century and the older St. Mary's Church from the 12th Century. The church has four steeples, the two western octagonal ones are called Blue Towers because of their dark blue slate roofing. The other two Hausmannstürme are connected by a bridge and on this bridge was the fire watch. The church owns as well the original death-mask of Martin Luther.
The Marktkirche's four towers and the city's nearby Roter Turm (Red Tower) are a landmark symbol of the city and marking the city’s silhouette.
We also stopped at the Christmas market which is placed around the Red Tower, directly on the market square.

This evening we visited another Christmas market. This time we went to Dessau. Believe me, the red wine blueberry punch was sooo delicious!

Hey Mommy,

We jumped into the car to go shopping... all the stuff we needed, like food...

It's CHRISTMAS!!!

In the evening we heard some "HOHOHO"... Who is it?!


Santa!!! He arrived with his sleigh and Rudolph (the reindeer). We were so excited! His sleigh was full of presents.


He gave all of us a present! And Rudolph started to eat Santa's birch. Little hungry reindeer...


Look at our presents... handbags!


When Santa saw that we were happy Toyvoyagers he and Rudolph left. There were some more Toyvoyagers waiting for him.


We are a pretty gang!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

We didn't really celebrate last night because our host had to work, but we got some lovely drinks.

Anyway, today we did a small tour by car again and saw the sun going down. Nice!

Hey Mommy,

today we found some stuff from Australia on the floor: souvenirs and sweets. Somebody left a present for us.


Then we heard a voice, turned around and saw Squab who's back from his journey to Sydney and Melbourne.


We hugged him a lot. It's also the goodbye-hug for Troot and me.


I'm coming home!
