At home <- Here I am now ! 
 

Today I made a nice walk with my Mum - and her Mum - so we are three generations together, although both look a little different to me. We were together with a friend of mine, who maybe will start to travel in the future. But first he will wait for the first notes from SunnyHH and me 

We made some nice Photos from the surroundings of our home.
And you can see ME on the photos. That's very important, I think....

The first shows me in front of a nice tree - you see, that the spring really starts here in Germany - blue sky and sunshine. On the second photo you can see my friend, too.

And now to the cultural part of our trip.
This is the church of my home-village. Really nice, isn't it?

The long building is the old school - but I never went there

Today I went to Hamburg with my Mum.

You can see me in the train - but unfortunately the weather was awful.

Instead of sightseeing, we went into a big mall, bad luck,
but the next time I will visit Hamburg with nicer weather, I hope.

Today I say good-bye to my best friends in the garden.
We played, because the weather is nice again.
Now I will start my travel and go to Portugal.

Hey everybody!
I’ve arrived safely after spending almost two weeks trying to get to Carina. I’ve finally made it!
The weather is warm and I can only think on visiting the beach.

When I arrived Carina took a photo of me and a group photo. In the group photo you can see our little Toyvoyager family.




We have already watched a movie – Get Smart  - and we had a great time.



Carina told me a little secret…. Thursday we are all going on a trip! Yes! We are going to visit one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal – Leiria! The trip takes one and an half hours by car so in the way I can get to know Carina’s family, Carina and my new five friends!
I hope Thursday arrives soon!

See you soon!

Hi everybody!
Sorry for the late news! Carina had a little problem but everything its all right now!

Here are some photos of me and my fellow Toyvoyagers in our trip to Leiria!



This is me, preparing for the trip! Safety first – seat bet is on!



A little moment to look at the view… not much at this speed!



The morning after the trip – a little journey to the town center! This is me and my new friends at “Luis de Camões” garden. Luis de Camões it’s a well know Portuguese poet.

We sat and got some sun… and we even played hide and seek! Look! Is that Lucan?!



Finally we had a little time to take a picture with Leiria’s Caslte behind us!



It was a really nice trip and I hope for more real soon!

Hi all from Greece,

I have arrived in Greece a couple of days ago and met the family and other toy voyagers. Things have been crazy around here since they were christening their little boy today and they had lots of preparations and arrangements these days. Today was the day, everything went great and so here I am updating at last!

So take a look at me with Ladomar and Etwas helping Vicky to prepare the christening favors.



In Greece it is a custom to give a little toy to all the guests together with "koufeta". Koufeto is an almond with chocolate and sugar coating and they always give those on weddings and christenings.



Also before the christening when the guests arrive at church it is also a custom to give them a little pin with a small cross. In our case instead of pins they gave little bracelets

Here we are supporting the Greek song in the Eurovision song Contest 2009. It was the semi-finals tonight. The German song is already in the finals and Greece also made it.
Two of the toyvoyagers here are from Germany! 
So on Saturday we'll have a very fun night, eating pizzas, drinking beer and enjoying the finals!

Hi mom,

on Saturday night we watched Eurovision Song Contest. We loved the winner song from Norway, but I also enjoyed the German song since I am German  ...



Last evening we took the kids to the nearby playground.
So here I am enjoying the evening with my friends Etwas and Ladomar.







And this is a photo of all of us in the house. We live in a flat with a balcony, as all the flats here in Greece.

It's time to introduce you to the family that hosts me.
Dad Aris, is a computer programmer and in his spare time he loves electronics and music.



Mom Vicky, is a school teacher and she loves anything crafty, from oil painting to jewelry making and scrapbooking.



3,5 years old Maria, loves to draw, sing and dance! She is also in love with the whole Disney family.



And finally 1 year old Kostas loves to play with blocks and is walking all the time.



The kids also love to read children books and their bookshelf is always a mess... we helped Vicky while she was trying to organize it somehow... with no success 

On Sunday we went to see a basketball game.
Many companies have basketball teams with their employees playing for fun. So we had to go and support dad's company team. It was really fun.

This is the basketball court entrance. If you like european basketball then you know the team "Aris", and this is their home court.



And here I am watching the game





After the game we went to visit grandmother since we were invited for lunch. We took some photos at her balcony.
She has many flowers





she even grows tomatoes in the pots... can you see the little green ones?



and strawberries ... they'll start turning red soon I think!
