I've been picked! yay! I'll be visiting Dani_Claudia in Austria!! I'm off to the post office hopefully by friday for a 3 week stay!

Hello mum!
After a long time in this small means of transport i have arrived safely in Austria  and I were well received! Lucy the sheep is an Austrian toy and she was very curious whats inside this interesting packet!



It's the first time for her to meet a toy from another country.. She was very happy..



..and gave me a kiss 



Today was a very nice day in Austria. The weather was a little bit cold but sunny. Lucy took me by the hand and we went into the city beside a river. At the coast of the river was a boat and I jumped inside. One by one duck was coming and they wanted some food but I haven't 



After 20 minutes walk we arrived the island on the river Mur (Murinsel)..



..and we crossed it





Behind me on the hill you can see rails. Lucy told me it's possible to get uphill by train and also by elevator.



There is a cafè on the island but it was unfortunately closed.



On the other side is the mountain with the clock tower. It's the town's landmark.



There are 260 steps to get upside. I was a little bit lazy because it was early morning but Lucy told me sport in the morning don't kill.  So I also went upstairs 





Some steps later we had a short rest  and we were chilling in the sun under a chestnut tree.



And we could already see the clocktower at close range.



Some steps later we was at the top of the hill  jipiiiiiiiiiii
And mum it was so beatiful there!









From the top of the hill you can see all around the city because the hill is in the middle of Graz. Now Lucy showed me her favourite place where she is chilling in summer, drinking beer and hearing good music  !









I like Graz so much 
After that we went for shopping and Lucy buyed the new I-phone.
Now I'm sitting on the couch and watching Austrian TV.
Mum I cannot understand anything 



We watched an austrian casting show named "Popstars Mission Austria". They are searching for a girl and a boyband.



Today morning my hostmum made us a very delicious breakfast :-) We had chocotea and Claudia backed muphins.



I ate one by one..





After 10 muphins i got sick because of my small stomach :-D :-D.
Claudia gave me some medcine.



She didn't told me that the medcine was just colored choco smarties :-D :-D but it works!

Hello mummy!
My hostmum was very busy last days. She worked a lot and there was a burial. But i always have had a nice place to stay ;-) Some hours i was spending in her coat and some hours i was chilling beside her bed. One day she had some free time and she showed me her hamlet where she was spending her childhood. Some month ago they have had a little farm but now there are living just bunnys and a lovely cat.



In the valley there was so much fog all the time. But from here it looks nice 



Claudia asked me if I have some time for doing work. And of course I had ;-)  so I went by tractor and have done woodwork.







Claudia told me it's very important to try helmet and earmuffs. A little bit taller than me but no problem.. hihi i look so funny!



I worked very very very hard!!!
hihi! joke :-) i just posed.

After that I met austrian bunnys.
They was very unfriendly because they don't gave me answer :-( They were afraid of me because they have never seen a chameleon before ;-) and were eating all the time.



So I tried to find friendly animals. I was searching for birds..



..but there wasn't. :-(



While I was playing I found the last apple on an appletree.. hihi and I tried to eat but i couldn't reach. I think i was better for my stomach ;-)



Suddenly i saw something white on the field ahead.



I jumped down and ran. The white was cold and wet and i thought it's snow. Claudia told me it's just frost because it was a very cold night before. But she promised me it's possible to play with snow within the next few weeks :-) jipii i'm pleased

Servus mum ;-)!
Today was a very nice day.  In the morning we went out for a walk into the city. It was a little bit cold outside but my natural coat protected me ;-)!
At wayside I found the last flowers from this year :-).



Our walk past a beautiful church..



After 20 minutes we arrived Cafè "Sorger". We had a very delicious happy morning breakfast there :-) mmmmh
But at first I had to study the menu.



Cafè Latte





Look mum, isn't it looking delicios :-)



hamhamhamhamhamhamhamham



After I've finished eating I read an Austrian Newslater and saw christmas cookies there. Claudia promised me to bake some for me :-) hihi



A little bit chilling at fireplace and warm up myself.



In the afternoon we went over again for a walk.



We went uphill.



30 minutes later we arrived a very old castle ruin. It was built about 1100ad.



I was hyped up because I felt happy. I was climbing on the wall..



and on the trees. Claudia couldn't stop me



At this picture you can see me sitting on an old fountain.







I walked inside the castle ruin through an old ferreous door.





Inside there was a little chapel.



I walked upstairs. It was spooky there because it was dark. But no problem for me because I'm a very brave chameleon 









From the top of the castle you can see the city graz with the castlemountain in the middle.

Hello mum !

Hello mum!
On the 24th of december austrians celebrate christmas. There is a relation to religion. This is the day where jesus was born. In the daytime my hostmum decorated the christmas tree with christmas tree balls, stars they were made from straw, sweets (enveloped in coloured paper (my hostmum have chosen red and blue)) and candles. The christ child have put a lot of presents under the tree  If there is a present for me  ?
It isn't allowed to see christmas tree before evening but Chacaice and me helped Claudia decorating so we took some fotos 



Sitting on the top of the tree 



Sitting atop presents 





This is crèche. It pictures the scene when jesus was born. Inside the house you can see jesus, his parents (Maria and Joseph), the three magi and animals like sheeps and bullocks.



After we have finished decorating we helped Claudia making dinner.



We were preparing raclette. You just have to cut different kind of food (like meat, sausages, bacon, vegetable, fruits..) into small pieces and make some different sauces. Thats all.



We put a plate (raclette) in the middle of the table and the food all around.



Let's start ! Put the food onto the plate and wait some minutes  ready for eat! mmmh





After we have finished eating we light the candles. romantic 









And for desert we had a lot of christmas cookies..mmmh 

Happy New Year 2012
