Travelog for: Ranil

Hi everyone! My name is Ranil, I'm quite new as a ToyVoyager, but Cassiopeia and Pepita who are staying at my place at the moment, taught me everything I need to know, so I'm ready to start traveling!
I started with my photo session and they wanted to be in it too, se here we are us three. 

Guess what... I'm starting my journey! 
My first destination is Germany, I can't wait to see what great adventures are waiting for me there!!
And one more thing... Leslie, my mentor, got this beautiful poscard from her Kirin who is in Germany as well, it's so nice! 

Hello Mum,

After such a long journey I arrived in Germany. I was so happy to jump out of my envelope!

A friendly bunny gave me a warm welcome. He is called Dicker Kumpel and he is my host here.



He introduced me to some other TVs here.



I went out into the garden and found lovely flowers.





I met these funny guys and we talked a lot.



At the end I relaxed next to these nice flowers and stretched my arms and legs after the long trip.

It was nice to feel the sun again.



Bye for now

Hi Mum,

We had a party today to celebrate my arrival. First we had delicious burger!



But I preferred the dessert – it was a yummy cake with a lot of cream.



After the meal we went to visit Dicker Kumpel ‘s grandma. She has nice flowers on her balcony.

I enjoyed the sun there.



I wanted to eat some of the flowers, but I was not allowed to.



There was a big surprise waiting for me – a friendly frog lives on the balcony. We talked a lot.
This was great Mum!



Love
Ranil

Hello Mum,


We went to the Landesgartenschau in Norderstedt. They show a lot of plants there. Here you can see me with a rhododendron.



There were many rhododendrons in different colors.



We made a stop and heard a choir singing.



Do you like these wonderful flowers?



I laughed about this funny person – maybe it is a  straw man.



We went to a playground and found lovely sheep – it seems that we are very famous here!



Here you can see all of us TVs – can you find me?



Later we went to a farm –or something like this – there were many chicken.






There were many wonderful flowers.



Some were inside a building – I would love to send them to you, Mum!






Bye for now

Hi Mum,

It was time to party today.  Dicker Kumpel’s best friend – Murph - came too. He is a blue alien – and came with his guest Ulrich. We talked a lot and had fun.



Later RikeH came and told us that it was time to have coffee and delicious cake. We went to the table – or maybe on the table.



Of course we had beautiful flowers for our host for this afternoon.



Then I had a delicious piece of cake. It was so yummy!



Guess what – it was time for presents then. Murph and Ulrich brought some for us.





We looked what was in the baskets.



There were really delicious sweets.



Then Murph and Ulrich got presents, too.



Look what they got.



We had a party all day long!

Hi Mum,

we made a nice trip this week-end. And the best thing was that we took the plane!

Here you see me waiting for the plane. This was the one we took.



Then we took some photos out of the window of the plane.









I looked around the plane - it was so amazing.



Look Mum, we were high in the air - and I saw the ground and some clouds.



Later we had more clouds.



We arrived in Krakow in Poland. We walked in the old city and saw this nice gate.



I played in the miniature.



This is a Part of the old City Wall.



We will see more in the next days.

Hi Mum,

We visited the Wawel Royal Castle today. It is situated on a hill next to the Vistuala River.

On the way to the Castle we passed this wonderful church.



You see a part of the Castle behind me.



We had a nice view over the River.



And when I turned I had this tower behind me.



Religion is important in Poland - and I saw the momument for the pope John Paul II.



There was a big cathedral on the hill.



When we walked down to the river, we saw this big dragon. Can you see the fire that came
out of his mouth. I was the only one who got a photo with the fire. So I was a lucky frog!



Tomorrow we will make a boat trip, this will be fun, I hope.

Love
Ranil

Hello Mum,

on Sunday we made our promised trip on a boat. It was so great.
Can you remember the Castle we saw yesterday? We will see it again.

But first you see me on the boat. I had a great place!



There was a big abbey next to the river.



Then we saw the Castle from the water - it was so nice and big!



It was a nice boat trip!

In the evening we made a walk on the Main Marketplace.





It looked great in the night!

Bye yours
Ranil

Hi Mum,

today was our last day in Krakow. Yesterday we went over the Main Marketplace - but in the night.

Now we saw it during the day!





There are wonderful gardens around the city centre. I loved this bridge.



And this fountain was so beautiful!



It was a nice time in Krakow!

Hello from Newfoundland,

We arrived in Canada, And today I made my first trip here - to a point called Cape Spear. Behind me you can see the old Lighthouse.



We had a wonderful view from the place.



And there is the most easterly point of North America. This was amazing.



Then we drove to another nice place - it is the Ferryland Lighthouse.

On the way we saw the wonderful Coast.





We went to this lighthouse...





...and had this delicious picnic there.



I loved this place!

Hello Mum,

we drove to Harbour Grace - but we stopped in a little village - and took a photo of this nice church.



Then we arrived in Harbour Grace. Behind me you can see the the SS Kyle. The vessel was pruchased by the Earl Brothers Fisheries of Carbonear in 1960 and used in the seal trade until 1967 when an iceberg accident caused her to be moored in the Harbour Grace harbour. During a storm the SS Kyle broke its moorings and drifted to Riverhead where it has been standing ever since.



Amelia Earhart took flight from Harbour Grace on May 20, 1932, to become the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. The plane behind her monument is the "Spirit of Harbour Grace".



We had a closer look at the SS Kyle from here, too.



After looking at all these exciting things we drove to our next destination.  We made a rest at this lovely place.



There were beautiful rocks in the sea behind me, but unfortunately they are really small on the picture. But they were wonderful when I saw them.



Some kilometers later we saw a moose next to the road. We all were so glad - and of course I wanted a photo with it.

Hello Mum,

we were in Twillingate and went to a place called Long Point.
There is a nice coastline again.





We stopped at the lighthouse. There are many of them here in Newfoundland.



We drove back to Twillingate and found a nice place for this photo.



Then it was time for adventure. We were making a boat trip. There were no icebergs, but boat trips are always fun.



Look Mum, I were allowed to be the driver.



It was lovely to be on the water.



I searched for Whales, but we didn't find any.



The view was so nice!



We stopped near to some nice rock formations. Can you see the hole in the rock behind me?



We continued our trip and saw a little village from the seaside.



This was fun, Mum!

Hello Mum,

we spent the day in the Gros Morne National Park. Here are many big mountains and wonderful bays. I liked it a lot!

First we stopped at a lookout and saw the Bonne Bay.



We drove further and stopped next to it.



The next stop was next to the Tablelands. They were really interesting..



In a small town called Woody Point we saw this old house. I have no idea, why RikeH was not able to make a nicer photo - maybe because it was too windy?



After walking another trail we reached this wonderful waterfall. It was amazing!



We had a great day here in the National Park!

yours Ranil

Hello Mum,

RikeH packed our bags again - so we had time to play in front of the cottage.

I loved the slide.



It was a very big one!



Then I tried the swing.



But playing alone was boring - so we all tried to use the slide together.



The idea was not so good...



So RikeH came and told us to sit in the sunshine.



We spent this night in a lodge - next to it was this pond.



Tomorrow it is the birthday of Dicker Kumpel. We will sing a song for him - but he doesn't know it now!

many greetings
Ranil
