Hurray!!! Hurray!!!
We had a little party today!!!
We had some snacks and water to drink and a lot to laugh about, of course. Dogs became friends with cats, a turtle with a kangaroo, a monkey with a moose and more.
We played with a big and a small ball and we learned how to play the card game "Mau Mau".
Didn't the table look nice?
Mingus Moose prefered to sit on the ballon.
(Playmo)Bill decided to not eat anything, because he was afraid to be too thick for his hobby.
Bullet wanted all the peanuts for himself.
Coco first had been a bit sad, because there was no honey on the table, but she liked the gouda then.
How did (Playmo)Bill come to that peanut? Maybe he asked Mingus Moose???
HolidayHarry had been really thirsty after eating a lot of sweets.
Florence is very hungry and wants to try a chocolate banana muffin.
Pebbels thought, that the Harry Potter muffin looked nice. It was a muffin with blueberries. Curly took the chocolate banana muffin too.
Amara Anthea tried a muffin american style, just on with chocolate drops.
AliG seemed to play the detective. What did he expect to find out today???
Do you see how happy Tortilla and Josh look with this dish filled with gummi bears?
Chokito, Davy and I shared another Harry Potter muffin.
Only Hasi prefered something healthy - she wanted to eat a carrot.
Tilda hadn't been sure, whether she should try a "nimm 2 " or whether it is better to eat a carrot too.
Then we started playing with balls. At first we choose the Australian ball, but it was so big, that the little toyvoyager among us had big problems.
Later we decided to use a table tennis ball, which of course is much easier to play with.
At last we learned how to play "Mau Mau".
Our first winner was: Chokito
Second place: Bullet
Third place: Hasi
Fourth place: Pebbels

Cologne, Germany - 31st August 2008
By: Fasamapera
Petra, her family and we drove to Cologne today. We met olgamaus and several other toyvoyagers there and had a great day together.
First I want to tell you a bit about Cologne:
Cologne is the fourth-largest city of Germany with about 1 Million inhabitants. It had been founded by Romans in the year 38BC and became the status of a Roman city in 50AD.
Cologne lies on the Rhine River. It is famous for the Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom), which is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Cologne. The University of Cologne is one of Europe’s oldest universities. Cologne is also famous for the Cologne Carnival. Within Germany it is important as a media center, because many radio and television stations are based here.
It isn't easy to take a photo of the whole cathedral, because everywhere you go, you run against walls.
Here you see a side of the Cologne Cathedral. We were surprised, that there was only a small scaffold, because they always have to repair parts of the Cathedral.
We still had some time left, before we met Ralf, Petra's husband again, who had to go to the garden exhibition, so we decided to walk down to the River Rhine and take some photos there. Here you see the railway bridge and a cruise vessel.
Just turning around on our heels we saw a part of Cologne's historic city.
We tried to find a place for a group photo and found this dry fountain, which just seemed to be the right place. Katja, Petra and Sabrina helped us to sit at the right place.
Then we walked back to the Cologne Cathedral to meet Ralf and go to have lunch together.
We walked to a typical Cologne restaurant, which also has a small brewery (Brauerei).
Of course it was a must to order "Köllsch" and a Malzbier, both typical beers of Cologne.
After lunch we walked back to the cathedral, because we had no chance to go inside in the morning. There still had been church service in it. Now it was open and we went into this big church with its beautiful windows. I'm sorry, but the photos aren't that great.
The cathedral is a World Heritage Site. It is one of the world's largest churches, the largest Gothic church in Northern Europe. It has the scecond-tallest church spires and presents the largest facade of any church in the world. The construction began in 1248 and took until 1880 to complete. It is 144,5 metres long, 86,5 metres wide and its two towers are 157 metres tall.
The Cologne railway station is next to the cathedral. We went there to say "goodbye" to Katja, who got home by trail.

Drei Zinnen, Italy - 27th September 2010
By: fam-united
The Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Italian for "the three peaks of Lavaredo"), also called the Drei Zinnen (German, literally "three merlons"), are three distinctive battlement-like peaks, in the Sexten Dolomites of northeastern Italy. They are probably one of the best-known mountain groups in the Alps ( see at wikipedia)
