Travelog for: Creamsheep

Hello World!

I'm Creamsheep! My parents wanted to release me in the wild as they did with my pink piggy sister. But  as this wild release was not that successful, they decided to let me travel as a toyvoyager. I will be travelling the Austrian RR soon, but in the meantime I will explore more of Vienna and my Moms flat.

Servus!

Hello World!

I love to eat and so I decided to post some pictures of me eating and cooking! Enjoy!

Hello World!

Today I met another toyvoyager for the first time. His name is Henrik and he is a Finnish moose. He told me about his adventures and showed me a postcard from his last travel destination.

Later we cooked dinner: A potato-mushroom soup!

Hello World,

today I went to Graz and we visited the Christmas Market in front of the town hall. There were different vendors, selling mulled wine, cookies, Christmas decoration... There was also this huge Advent wreath and even a caroussel

Hello, World!

Here I am at the Hannover aiport, waiting for the S7 to take me to the Main Station from where I will continue my journey on to Bielefeld, to the second International Postcrossing Meeting!
I am so ecited!

Servus!

Hello, World!

Here I am, in the middle of tons of postcards, stamps and postcrossers! Welcome to the meeting. You want to know what we did this weekend?
Write postcards, send postcards, receive postcards, swap postcards...postcards, postcards, postcards...

I also met a donkey, who isn't a toyvoyager. He was there with his Mom, who is one of Henrik's former hostmom's! Can you believe that? What a small world! 

I am exhausted and maybe happy if I don't see cards for a while 

Servus!

Hello World!

After all the postcard work, I decided to explore my surroundings here in Bielefeld and went for a walk. Unfortunately the weather was not really nice, but the walk was great!

Then it was time to say goodbye and head back home to Vienna.

Servus!

Hello World!

I heard about a great charity idea on the radio and so I told my mom. Together we went shopping for a very special smoothie. This year, the company again asked people to knit little hats for the smoothie bottles and many, many, many hitshave been knitted. Then in December, the company puts the hats on the bottles and they go onto sale. For every bottle with a hat that is sold, the company donates 30 cents to charity!

What a wonderful idea! Henrik and I loved the idea too and were really happy when mom let us choose the bottles and the hats: Here you can see us with our winter-outfit. Aren't we cute?
We had to try the smoothie, too of course!

Servus!

Hello World!

Every year in December, the kids get advent-calendars filled with sweets or small presents, to keep them entertained and help them count the days until Christmas Eve.
Today was my turn to open up Mom's calendar:
Look, it is one with teabags!

And as it is freezing here in Vienna, a cup of tea is always a good idea!

Servus!

Hello, World!

Today is a public holiday here in Austria, so we got to sleep in. We then decided to enjoy a nice breakfast.
We boiled an egg and had some bread and paté. There was also a cute sheep keeping the egg warm. But I guess that won't help me for my life-missions...it's neither a real sheep nor a comic sheep 

We haven't yet decided what today with the day, but we'll see 

Servus!

Hello World!

I am on the way to olgamaus now!

Lookinf forward to my new adventures!

Hi Mummy,
I arrived at my first host's home today. I was welcomed by Snakey, Buzz BlueJay, Nook, Albus Star and of course by my host Katja.They all liked the candies I brought with me



In the late afternoon I went with Katja to take a short walk to the municipal park.

I can see this church from the window of our living room.



It was only a short walk to the municipal park. There is a pond with ducks.







This is the observatory, also situated in the park area.





We left the park than to walk back home.



There were geese coming back from the South!



Katja said that this was a good sign - we will have spring soon!

Hi Mummy,
we went out for a walk in the afternoon, although the weather is no longer that nice as yesterday. Here you can see the street where I am living at the moment, lots of lovely houses built in the early 1900's.



The next photo was still taken in the city centre.



Than we walked towards the outskirts of Remscheid, deep in a valley.



Here you can also find very old houses, much older than those in the city centre.



You can often find older industrial sites close to dwellings here.



Snowdrops are blooming everywhere.







We reached the district Hasten than. Here you can see two museums, the German Tool Museum and a Patrician Villa, built in late 18th century. In this Villa you can see how people lived in those years.





There is a park behind those museums, built as an outdoor facility. There are several machines outside. (We needed a little rest after walking so long.)









From here we still had to walk uphill for more than half an hour to get home - it's really exhausting here

Hi Mummy,
with the most lovely weather we could not wait to go outside in the afternoon. Out first stop was a small park in front of the police headquarter.



From here we went to the station. The old station was replaced by a new one about two years ago. A few months ago they finally finished a bridge for pedestrians from the station across a broad road.



Here you can see the bus station in front of the station. Katja told me that in about two weeks it will be a sea of blossoms. All the trees are Japanese cherry trees.



We went to the city centre than.



Katja showed us this coal tub, a present from Remscheid's twin town Wansbeck in Northumberland, England.





The music school is situated in the nice reddish building.



This modern building belongs to the adult ecucation centre.





Here you can see the central bus station. Lots of pupils are waiting to get home

Hi Mummy,
we took a longer walk in another district of Remscheid today, in Luettringhausen.

Luettringhausen is one of three districts with a historic city centre, surrounded by mostly rural areas. We took the son of Katja's friend to his soccer training. We used those 90 minutes to take a walk.

We reached a woodland area. They have a water tower here.



The administration for road management of North Rhine-Westphalia is situated here, nearly in them middle of nowhere



We were among farms and meadows than.







We reached the city limits of Remscheid. Beyond that sign there is Wuppertal.









Unfortunately we did not meet a single sheep in this rural area.

When we left that area we had to cross a bridge across the A 1 motorway.



We walked back towards the city centre of Luettringhausen. In the background you can see the two towers of the city hall and the water tower in the city centre of Remscheid, where I am living at the moment.





Here you can see Luettringhausen. Two churchtowers and a tower on the city hall.



We came across a riding stable, where I sayed "Hello" to this foal.



In the old town of Luettringhausen I found narrow lanes and skew houses











Katja showed me this door knocker. She told me that it was typical for this region, as the heraldic animal of Remscheid is a lion.



Bye for now
