Hi Mum,

The weather wasn’t so nice today, but we wanted to make a walk. 



I found some late flowers in the grass.



We walked over a small bridge and saw a nice river.



Then we had a rest in a little hut.





Here you see a nice tree behind me – it was really cold today.



Can you imagine – what the big green thing was?



Look:



Back home I found ta nice tree.

Hello Mum,

Yesterday my holiday with RikeH and Dicker Kumpel started. We had a nice flight to Grand Canary and then we went onto our ship.

This was the night view from our balcony. Behind me you can see Las Palmas.



And this is a part of our ship.



We all were happy to be on the ship!



Today I found two postcards from the ship - so you can see it.



In the morning I went onto the balcony and saw an Island - it was Lanzarote, today we only passed it - but we will come back later and visit it.



At the beginning of a cruise there is always a test for an emergency - so all people and ToyVoyager on board know, what to do.

Here I am with the lifejacket and Princess Sarah, because we are so small we can take one together.



Of course we hope that we never need it.

Back on the balcony it was time to relax. You can see us in the hammock.





We had a great view!



What a nice day!

Hello from Morocco - yes Mum, I am in a new country for my life mission!

I woke up this morning and found out that we are in Morocco.
First I saw a big ship in the harbour.



We made a tour by bus today - and our first stop was high about the city. Look, what a wonderful view.



There was an old monument on the hill. Maybe an old castle? Who knows...



In the city we saw the mosque.



We visited the market.



Before we went back to the ship we walked along the long beach. Can you remember it?

We saw it from the hill. Behind me you can see some white words on the hill, they are from the national hymn of Morocco.



I thought about swimming in the water, but decided not to do it.

Hi Mum,

we had another lazy day on the ship.



It was time to show our cabin.



We like most this place on the couch next to the window.





Here you see me in the bathroom.





And we love this place - called Minibar. This is one part.



And this is the other.



In the afternoon we all had fun with our X-Box. First we played a quiz.



The we sang wonderful songs.



After having fun it was time to work - here I sat on the balcony and wrote my travellog.



When we all were ready we relaxed on our chair in the sun.

Hello Mum,

this morning I got up early - and I saw Santa Cruz on the Island Tenerife. Tenerife is in Spain - so I have one more country for my life mission. 



We started our tour over the Island in the mountains - the Anaga Mountain Street.

I had a great view.



We saw a city in the Valley.



There was the Teide - the highest mountain of Spain.



We went there later - first we visited the Loro Parque. I met penguins there.



Look - what a wonderful flower.



We continued our trip and went to the Teide Mountain. There were strange plants here.



Behind me you can see the Teide Mountain. We decided not to climb onto the Teide.



Next to the Teide there were some strange shaped Rocks called Los Roques.



What a wonderful day on Tenerife.

Hello from La Gomera!

We did a nice boat trip - and watched out for dophins and pilot whales.

But first you can see the view from our balcony. This was San Sebastian on the La Gomera Island.





Then we were on our little boat.



Where were the dolphins and whales?



I saw a lot!



We saw many more of them - but it was not so easy to take photos - with us ToyVoyagers and the animals.

Then we made a little cruise along the Coast.



Can you remember the Teide Mountain we saw yesterday - we saw it today, too.



In the evening we found delicious chocolate in our cabin!



We loved it!

Hello Mum,

today we rent a car and drove over the Lanzarote Island. We started in the Jameos de Aqua - some nice Caves.



There were a nice pool next to the Caves.



We found funny plants again.



Here you can see the pool from another place.



We went to a great outlook - called Mirador del Rio.





I loved the view!

Then we drove to another part of the Island - the national park Timanfaya.

We drove through the Park in a bus - but it was not easy to make good photos there.

These are views over the Park.





The devil is the symbol for the NP.



Later we saw some camels next to the street.



Before we went back to the ship we walked through Arrecife. Here is the beautiful church.



And a nice lake inside the town.



Mum, I know that you've been here years ago - can you remember some of the places I visited?

Hello from Gran Canaria,

Another trip by car today. We drove along the Coast and stopped in a little town called Agaete.

This is the church.



We went into it.



There was a wonderful Valley - we had a great view from the end of the street.



Back on the Coast Street we stopped at the Mirador de Balcon.



Later we drove into the Middle of the Island - into a Valley called Barranco de la Aldea.
There were very high mountains and steep and narrow streets.







We stopped in a small town called Tejeda.



This was the funny 'Cruz de Tejeda'.



Our last stop was a place called Terror. It has a strange name, but it was peaceful place with a nice church.

Hello friends,

it was a day on the Sea again. On this day it was a little stormy. You can see the waves...



And look at my hair - I am flying.



In the evening I went into the X-Lounge and I drunk my first glass of Champagne.



I love cruises.

Hello Mum,

we started our trip in Casablanca with the Hassan-II-Mosque. It is the third biggest mosque of the World.



We went inside - not many colors, but nice.





It was really interesting.



I really liked this mosque.

Our next stop was the King's Palace. We saw two doors - first the small one...



...later the bigger one.



We went through the streets of Casablanca.



Can you see the beautiful green roofs behind me?



We visited a market with fruits...



...and fish.

Hello Mum,
   
yesterday evening we had Champagne - and it was delicious. RikeH didn't spend the evening in our cabin - so we wanted to have more drinks...



We went to our minibar.



Dicker Kumpel climbed into the minibar - and threw the bottles to us.









Ready - we had 4 bottles.



We brought the bottles to our place.





I chose the Havana Club.



The others had other nice drinks.



Hey - the ship moved in a strange way - or did I?



What a great evening.



Yours
Mirembe

Hi Mum,

oh - what a night... 

...but what a morning 



... there must have been something bad in the bottles yesterday.



RikeH told us that a coffee could help. Fortunately we had a machine in our cabin.



I had to fill this funny thing into the machine.



Then we waited for the coffee.



It was yummy. And I felt much better.



We decided not to make much more this day.

Hello Mum,

today it was St Nicholas' Day. We found a present in our cabin.



Of course we opened it.



Some sweets – great!



Thanks dear St. Nicholas!



Later we started our trip through Funchal. Because we had an awful day yesterday,we decided to take a bus – and having our tour without moving a lot.







As you can maybe the see, the weather was not so nice today.





We loved this fountain and wanted to play there, but the bus didn’t stop.



Then we drove up the hill…



…and had a nice view.



Far away we saw a church, but it was not a famous one.



Then we left Funchal and drove along the coast.



There were terraces, where they grew bananas and other plants.



We drove through a nice little village, but I forgot the name.



Back in Funchal we walked back to our ship. There were three big cruise ships in Funchal today.



This was an old Tower – but not very high.



And another old building.



This was the view from our balcony – one of the other ships and a view over the city of Funchal.





Mum, I am so excited - I have been to 2 countries before  we started our cruise. Then we were to Morocco and Spain - and today I was in Portugal. So I completed one of my life missions!!!

I hope that you are as happy as I am !

Hello Mum,

Normally we arrived in the next Port in the morning – today it was different. We arrived at noon. So we were able to see it from the distance.



It was the Island La Palma.





We drove to the national park Caldera de Taburiente – I looked out of the window of our bus.



Then we arrived at the Caldera -  we had a wonderful view.





We made a nice walk and had other nice views – of course it was always the same crater – but we loved it!



And we had wonderful weather – this was not typical for this time of the year.



Later we went back to Santa Cruz. We stopped at a point called La Concepcion    .



There were many palm trees.





And I found these wonderful flowers.



Bye

Hi Mum,

We visited our last Island today – it was Fuerteventura. We made a tour with Jeeps here.



This was a holy mountain.



Then we drove to the Coast. It was really steep there.





Later we went to a big dune. It was great – but really windy.





In the evening we went to the buffet. There were fruits with chocolate and ice sculptures.





This was my last view of the ship in the night.



I really enjoyed the Cruise. Thanks to HoBi for the photo that let me win the Cruise!

Yours
