Travelog for: Donkeyjote

Hello world, this is Donkeyjote  from Germany

I am the first toy my mum allows to travel. I love my home but right now I can't wait to slip in my envelope to let the journey begin! If you want to help me discover the world please be my host and send a PM to my mum. 

Still at home I am looking at our "Postcrossing" wall with postcards from all over the world. Maybe I will visit one of the places on the cards!? It's so exciting!

Yeeehaaa, I can come to Vienna to stay at Cessy`s house I'm so happy!

My roommate "Jeannie" gave me a kiss to congratulate me.
After that I played "hide and seek" with my mummy to calm down. I found a great hiding place 

I am now looking for a place to stay after Vienna. Please help me to travel on an let me visit you. Pleeeeeeaaaase!  Is anyone out there ?

My last day in Hamburg mum took me with her to work because I was so nervous and wanted to be with her. She works at a place that looks a little bit like a small gym with a very relaxing atmosphere. During the break we enjoyed a delicious coffee an I took a walk on the treadmill to be fit for my first journey. After that I needed a little rest while mum had to work on. It was a nice day and I was ready to leave to Austria, so I slipped inside my envelope and said goodbye to my mum. I really hope to come back home, but first I will enjoy my holidays

Hugs

hello dear mum,

after a long long dark journey i finally arrived in vienna at my hosters home and i could get out of the narrow envelope. chariliy i looked out and i saw many nice guys watching me.



for they seemed to be very friendly i came out and and introduced myself. I told my new friends about my hometown and together we watched the picture card i brought with me.



they all were very impressed about the harbour festival in hamburg.

we had much fun. riding has always been the great passion they told me and i could not deny their wishes and we were running and jumping the whole evening





yesterday we took a turn in the woods near vienna.
this is a little private castle and curiously we peered through the stanchions in to the garden





it has been snowing a little bit during last night and it was very very cold. so my hosters kept me warm with a scarf, looks pretty, doesn’t it?





but in spite of this warming scarf i began to freeze a little bit and warmed up together with my companions in the cap of my hoster 



this are the latest news, mum, i have to go on with playing and chatting with my new viennese friends, will report soon, cu, kisses

hello my dears at home,

last sunday we made a fine trip to the city of vienna to visit one of the biggest christmas fairs in town. although the weather was really nasty (freezing rain and foggy) we started with the streetcar. i was glad that Mr.B. (the little funny bunny) was with us, for we hat a little chat and he also explained me the way we took.







then we have to go downstairs to the underground





here we are in front of the BURGTHEATER placed on the RINGSTRASSE



on the other side of the RINGSTRASSE there is located the RATHAUS and the christmas fair



christmas tree balls



with viennese motifs



it was icecold and we all were freezing like a dog, so we warmed up with hot soup filled in bread, look:



we also met circus horses there



and a christmas mini railway



and this railway was also decorated christmassy



but mom, just imagine what happened!!! in this train there was SANTA CLAUS!!! really!! see:



he uplifted me to his long white beard and promised me a long long journey to warm and fine weather for christmas



i was extremely thrilled and i have to admit, a little bit fearing. SANTA CLAUS is such a tall man with a low-pitched voice. to relax a little bit we walked along the RINGSTRASSE, passed the PARLAMENT



saw an originally viennese FIAKER



and in a shop for souvenirs this funny t-shirt



on the way back to my hosters home i was soooo tired, i fell asleep immediately in this comfortable warming cap just in the streetcar



time flies and yesterday i had to say good bye to vienna and my hosters for my next big trip. hope i will arrive there soon and safe, MIAMI i am coming

Just arrived and made lots of new friends! My host showed me around her room. It's very artsy. I can't wait to have fun in the sun.

We went to the Christmas Fair called Santa's Enchanted Forest. My host took her little brother and it was his first time going too. The entrance has some pretty funny scenes of Santa and his elves.  I loved all the lights, especially as seen from the Ferris Wheel and the Christmas tree was huge! Though we didnt take pictures for fear the camera would fall, I did ride all the rides after I got rid of my fear. I had such a nice time with my new friends.

Enjoying the sunset and twilight at the park with friends. It doesnt get better than this. It's nice to have relaxing days. Then we ate the best Pan Con Bistec (Cuban Steak Sandwich) in Miami.

Beach day! FUN FUN FUN  I love the Art Deco style in Ocean Drive. We passed by the Arsht Center to see the famous mural behind it but it had been desecrated by advertising. Regardless, it was still very haunting and powerful.

Today we went to the Vizcaya mansion! It is was designed in the Italian Renaissance style. They didn't allow photos of the plentiful rooms, their gorgeous ceilings, or the illuminated courtyard but we had lots of photo opportunities in the garden. It was a wonderful sunny day in very charming gardens. I can even imagine little stories in certain settings. 

Today we went to my host's favorite organic stand on Krome (farming area on the edges of Miami) then we picked our own sunflowers, strawberries and tomatoes in a U-Pick. It was really cool to know where what I consumed came from and really delicious! 

I'M IN NEW YORK!!! My host will be attending school in NYC and she took us with her on a week long visit. First we toured Columbia University and its sister school Barnard College. Then we expanded to the church of St. John the Divine with its beautiful garden and The Metropolitan Museum of Art (I took pictures with my favorites) returning by a walk in Central Park. Finally we went to Times Square and Central Station. I enjoyed it very much! NYC is very diverse and history collides everywhere. It was a wonderful trip.
