Leidschendam, The Netherlands - 14th June 2008
By: Charda
Today a new TV arrived! He's a little dog and his name is Moony! He is just in time for our trip to London, so he's a very lucky guy!
Here's our group picture. Well, tomorrow we're going to pack and then on Monday we'll be flying to England! How exciting!

London, England - 20th June 2008
By: Charda
On Thursday we only visited Westminster Abbey, but we weren't allowed to take any pictures there, so there's just this picture of the Big Ben of that day.
On Friday we went to the Tate Britain museum. Again, we weren't allowed to take any pictures there, so there's just this picture.
In the afternoon we went to the Museum of London. This is me outside the museum. I know it says 'Useum of London', but the 'M' is just hidden behind the tree
After our visit to this museum we walked to St. Paul's Cathedral. It was really close by. We didn't go in though, so we only took these pictures from the outside.
When we came home (in the hotel) that afternoon my host wanted to take pictures of the hotel room, and of course we wanted to be on these pictures. This is us in the bathroom.
The bathtub was really big and comfortable, but the dogs didn't want to join us.
Our host Charda found this British bear in a souvenirshop and she decided to adopt him. He was all right, a bit posh maybe.
Our last group picture in England!
On Saturday we flew back home to the Netherlands, to our host's home that is of course. The plane on this next picture isn't our plane, because we were inside ours, but it was of the same airline.
And this is the view from the airplane while in the air. Cool huh, all those clouds.
So now we're back in the Netherlands. As you can see, we had a great time in England!

Okay, here's a really short update. All of us have arrived safely in the Netherlands today. We had a great week in London and we have seen quite a few famous landmarks. Our host says she'll update the pictures within a few days, but that might take a while, because there are so many
Here's all of us in the hotel room. We'll talk later!

Today we had a typical Dutch meal: andijviestamppot with bacon and cheese. It looks good, doesn't it?

Today our host came home with an envelope with foreign stamps on it. Well, that can either be tea via Postcrossing or a new Toy Voyager! And yes, it was a new TV. She is called Bellatrix and came all the way from the United States. She looks like a friendly lady to me.
This is all of us together. We look like a happy bunch, now don't we?

Leidschendam, The Netherlands - 29th June 2008

We begged and pleaded with our host because we wanted to see the football game. And so she put us all in front of the TV (as in television, not ToyVoyager). But what a strange game this is. Why is this Spanish guy sitting on the grass? I thought they were supposed to run around after a ball?
Hmm, this is more like it. I wonder who's going to win. The Welpies keep saying: "The Dutch! The Dutch!" I don't have the heart to tell them they are no longer in the tournament.
Update 11 pm: Sorry mom, Spain won! I think it was still a great game.
