I am going to visit soon:
1) Vienna, Austria - ChristinaB

Hello!

I savely arrived in Vienna/Austria 2 days ago. So far I had a great time together with some other toyvoyagers (there is Kleo, the little doggie from Italy and Eireannach, the pig from Russia who wants to be Irish and then there is Béstik, a crazy guy from Czechia) and with my hosts. I haven't been sightseein yet since my host is quite busy at the moment but I was promised that she'll show me around in the city next week.

Yesterday my friends and I spent a wonderful day at Schönbrunn Palace. The weather was wonderful so we enjoyed a loooong walk in the park. We passed by the palmhous and even went up a hill to "Gloriette" which is a wonderful point of view. And then - after walking alot - our host decided that we were so brave that we deserved a visit in Europe's oldest zoo! It was great there!! I met some of my relatives... and I almost fullfilled one of my mission: to see real pandas. But unfortunately they were locked in in their house  because they just got a baby (which is very, very rare I was told) and they needed some privacy.

Meanwhile I did alot of sight-seeing here in Vienna. My host showed me around in the city and I finally saw all these famous builings in reality which I only knew from pictures so far.

So for example Christina took me to the Austrian Parliament, to the City Hall, The Old Imperial theatre and to the museum of historical arts.

We also saw Hofburg, the castle where the Habsburg family lived a long time ago and where nowadays the Austrian National Library, the President's office and some other museums are inside. I also got to know these funny carbages called "Fiaker" and the house created by Friedensreich Hundertwasser (isn't it beautiful with all its different colours??)  and I was told that there are many, many more things to visit here in Vienna.

After all this sight-seeing in Vienna our host decided that we TV should also see some other beautiful places of Austria, so she put us into the car and drove to her parents with Eireannach, Kleo, Daisy and me.

They live in Upper Austria in an area called Salzkammergut and indeed, it was very beautiful there!

On Saturday evening we drove up a little mountain from where we had a very nice view to lake Traunsee and all the other mountains around.

We also visited a very special castle there. It's called "Schloss Orth" and it consists of 2 parts: a "normal" castle and a "water castle" situated on a small island in the lake. Unfortunately we went there in the evening and it was already a bit dark, so the photos didn't come out so well

On Sunday we went to an other lake, Attersee. Unfortunately at the end of September it's already too cold here in Austria to have a swim in the lake but i was told that my host family spent a wonderful summer holiday there.

There happened something really exciting during my stay in Upper Austria. We saw a balloon landing close to the house of my host's parents! We already watched it a while before coming closer and closer and then it really came down. Especially for my host's kids it was really really exciting, but I must admit, I was fascinated, too. Never ever in my whole doggie-life I saw such a huge balloon soooo close before!!

Last weekend on Saturday there was a perfect autumn day so my hosts decided to go to the woods with us and search for some mushrooms. It lasted only a short while until we found the first one. Poisonous! It was the same with the next one... but then!!! Finally we found a really delicious mushroom and Kleo and I were sooo proud of ourselves.

I stayed in Vienna for a couple of weeks but then it was time to say good-bye. I had a wonderful time in Austria but I have to hurry up now because I'm invited to visit a monkey-halloween party in the USA which sounds very exciting to me!

So I left Austria this week for the USA. My host promised me to update my travellog with pictures from the Giant Wheel and Danube tower while I'm on my way there.

Good bye, Austria - tschüüüüüß!!!

Tanusha arrived safely and in rather good time. 

A few of the other guests arrived at the same time for a photo shoot.  Everyone is talking about the party.  All seem rather excited.

Tanusha was greeted by a number of monkey boys that thought she was glamorous.  They are fighting over her already.  More to this story later.

A few days of relaxing sight seeing are planned before the party.

Upon arrival the host had a few listed things that Tanusha would be doing while visiting Oregon.

First everyone got introduced to the other and then the monkey chatter began.  Everyone was having such a great time together.  Of course Tanusha drew a crowd everywhere she went.  She made friends quickly.

The day would take Tanusha on an outing to view some of the biggest pumpkins she would ever see in her lifetime. 
She was in awh of the size and how they looked. 
All the toyvoyagers visiting for the party traveled to see these amazing giants.

Tanusha was so very excited to see these large pumpkins she asked a lot of questions about them.

How much did they weigh.  Who grew them.  Where did they come from.

The larger pumpkin which was the lighter color weighed 1,524 pounds.  The orange pumpkin weighed in at 1,200 pounds.

Both the pumpkins were entered into a contest in 2 different states.  One in California that won $3,000 for a first prize and the other won a first prize in Oregon where the owner got $6.00 per pound when it weighed in.

The pumpkins started life from a variety of "giant" pumpkin seed grown in a greenhouse setting starting in February.  Then they were moved to the outside garden in May.  From there they grew to this size by October 10th.

The pumpkins were owned by the same family.  The family  lives here in Pleasant Hill, Oregon where both pumpkins are displayed.

I have arrived at the Halloween party my host is giving for this fun day in America.  We are playing a guessing game called Who are You?  All monkeys like guessing games.

No one realizes it is me in this lovely hairdo and beautiful  dress.  I am the beautiful "Dolly Pardon" but do not let them know yet.  For now----I keep them guessing.
Later I may get to sing just like Dolly.    Awwwwwh!

Here is a funny dressed "Banana Man".  I like the Banana Man and want to get better acquainted but he does not say much and only grunts. 
I like the grunting and I think he is handsome. 

He smells like a monkey banana.  It is funny smell but I like it.

Tanusha was having a great time at the Halloween party.

Here she was lucky enough to try and play the "Dunk for the Jelly Beans" game.  She tried and tried to grab as many jelly beans with her lips as she could but the beans just slipped right out of her mouth.

Tanusha found that she was getting pretty good at these games.  This one was called "Put the tail on the Bear."
She rather liked trying to put the tail on the bear and she was the only one of all the toyvoyagers at the party that got the tail on the bear in the correct area.
