Erice, Italy - 21st July 2011
By: TaisAfinskaia
Hello mummy!
Guess what? I`m in Italy! We live in Palermo, but my photo-day we`ll spen in Erice. It is very small town where you can get using cog railway.
Quote: | The ancient name of Erice was Eryx, and its foundation was associated with the eponymous Greek hero Eryx. It was not a Greek colony, but was largely Hellenized. It was destroyed in the First Punic War by the Carthaginians, and from then on declined in importance.
Eryx was conquered by Aghlebids in 831 and was renamed as Cebel Hamid (In Western sources Gebel Hamed, meaning Mountain of Hamid). It was ruled by Arabs over 3 centuries until Norman conquest in 1167. Normans renamed it Monte San Giuliano. It was known as Monte San Giuliano until 1934. |
My first photo shows you that I was able to climb at Tower of Erice-Chiesa-Madre. View is marvelous but I was afraid to fall down.
Erice is a town of narrow streets and churches, I supose we visited them all!
And I made a photo of myself in cog railway.

Öhringen, Germany - 5th December 2011
By: Zandy
ToyVoyager labour! HELP! MUMMY! Hehe, no no Joke.
Tomorrow is St. Nicholas day. And Zandy allowed me to take one of her boots and situate it in front of the door. She said maybe Nicholas will bring something. So of course the boot must be clean and I cleaned it.
Hanni and HolgiHH get also a boot. An here you can see us in front of them.
We all are so excited. Will St. Nicholas really bring something to us?
But Zandy said, that we must go to bed now. Otherwise Nicholas won't come. So we jump very fast into our bed.
Good night mummy!

Öhringen, Germany - 11th December 2011
By: Zandy
Hello mummy!
Do you remeber the picture with the tower last week? Today it was opened and we had the chance to climbed up. But first we went into the castle, becuase there was an exhibition about the history of Öhringen. Sadly it wasn't allowed to take pictures there. But in one room we fastly take this pictures while no supervisory staff was there. *hrhr*
And than it was time to climbe up the tower. Here you can see me inside with a model of it.
Here it is so little. But really the tower is 56,16 meters high. And it was built in 1494. But we only could climbed up to 32 meters. In the tower are seven stories and the truss. And the rooms inside were two archives, a musician room, the "Verschlooch" (a crate in the Hohenlohisch slang. It was the bedroom for the helper of the steeplejack) and the apartment form the steeplejack. And of course the tower gallery on which we could go outside.
But enough facts. We found this lamps in the same room as the model was.
Of course we read a little bit and than it was time to go on. On the next floor we saw this clock.
And than meter 32 was coming, time to go out.
The tower on the left is called "Läutturm" (ringtower?!) with four bells. And on the right, the white tower it's from the St. Josef church. A great view. Isn't it?
Of course we also had a look down on the christmas market with all this little humans on it (not only children )
Mummy, can you see the railway above me? Zandy told me, that this one is every year here. You can say it's a tradition. The train was allready there when Zandy was a child.
And than oh my dear. We walk around and than what a loud ring across us. We looked upp and saw this bell which makes the noise.
Og course we saw the atrium of the Stiftskirche from upstairs.
Than sadly it was time to go downstairs. First we must walk on the wooden stairs. It was very comfortable. Much more than the stone stairs. They were so closely. *puh*
In one floor we found this mechanism of a clock. We didn't see it when we go up. Very interseting.
Oh and than we found one of the archives. It was luck, because there was a jutty on which we must wait while people came up the stairs.
Bach down we had to eat a snack to recover. So Zandy suggested us a "Rosenküchle" (rosecacke/cookie). It's name comes therefrom while it looks like a rose.
Yummy! On our way back home we cross the little animal zoo in Öhringen. There were really animals outside. Look here you can see me with chicken (I forgot the whole name)
And a rabbit
And this was my sunday mummy. I hope you enjoy it a little to read about it.
Love yours,
Paddington

Hi mummy!
Zandy and her boyfriend visited his family today and they couldn't go with us. So me and my friends stay at home during their visit. We relax a lot and played. But after a few hours it's getting boring, because we couldn't go outside.
But when Zandy and her boyfriend came back they look compensate all the time before. They found us in the christmas tree.
What do you think? I'm a little nice Santa-bear or?!
Love yours,
Paddington

Neuenstadt a. K., Germany - 26th December 2011

Hi Mummy,
today we suprised SammyFire, we visited a Club, where they collect old Fireengines. Zandys Boyfriend showed us those old Trucks and also a lot of Equipment.
We arriverd at the Location. The Sight from the Parking Ground is great. A very beautiful Landscape.
Zandys Boyfriend opened a big Door and then we saw the Fire Trucks. We are all exited to this, but i think, SammyFire was the most exited.The Trucks where big, and red, and beautiful. We all sit on the Bumper.
I climbed into the Cabin of these Fire Truck and sit on top of the Radio. "puhh" that was exertive"
"Alarm!!!!!!!!!!" hurry up, we have to go for a Fire. SammyFire drove us to the Place where the Fire was burning.
At first we have to stop the Traffic on the Street. For this we use a Stoppanel. We have to hold it all, because the Wind was very strong at this day. If only one of us hold the Stoppanel this Tv will fly away.
Then we arranged our things we need to extinguish the Fire. In these Truck there are many many interressting Things. We needed Hoses, Pipes, distributos, Pumps, and many many more Parts. We also find a Sparetyre in the Truck. I hope this one we dont need.
We extinguish the fire with the Watercanon on the Roof of the Truck. Its hard to operate, but very funny. The Water shoot 50 meters. You can harvesting Appels when they hanging on a Tree.
"OK, the Exercise is over, very goog job, everyone"
I hope you are not worried Mummy, it was just an exercise. Not dangerous. Zandys Boyfriend sayed, we all have done a very good Job. He asked us, if we want to join the Firefighters. Maybe I do.
After That we found a very old Waterpump. This was build in 1857. Very nice. We searching for the Engine, but we couldnt find it. If you want to move this Carriage, you need Horses or many other Tv´s
We found also a lot of stuff you need if you work as a Firefighter
This Mask you need if you go into a burning House wich is full of Smoke. If you wear this on, your Voice sounds funny, like Darth Vader: I am your Father, Luke.
Here are the Bottels for the Air that you breath.
We just have a look in the Store. There we found old Ladders and hoses.
Now is Time to go. We have to prepare Lunch. We are invited by Zandys Parents. We all enjoyed the time with these old Fire Trucks. It was very interesting and Funny. SammyFire was very happy about the Trip and I think he liked it.
