Travelog for: Iiris

Hi to my mom in Finland and everyone interested in my adventure

My arrival on th 7th of October made my host Corinna very happy because I´m her first traveling-toy-guest

She was on her way to her best friend when she checked her mailbox and directly took me with her into her daily life. A few month ago, Corinna lived in Cologne (for one year) but she wanted to go back to the countryside and live together with her love Chris so that´s what she did

But she is still studying in Cologne and still has her friends there so we took a ride of public transportation for 1 hour (bus and train) and then went to Helena, who recently came back from a five-week-trip in India.

Both are the kind of spiritual people who are affected by all kinds of religious and spiritual stuff... so what I first learned in Germany was to meditate (as you know, I´m kind of stiff so I couldn´t bring my body into the typical position, but that´s unimportant as long as your mind is meditating )

Both are vegan so I tried my first vegan applepie and also gingertea wich was good for my throat because I had some kind of cold at that time, but don´t worry, I´m fine now I guess it´s because of the gentle weather here in Germany... I mean... I´m Finnish!

I also made new friends at Helena´s place like Sandi (rabbit) and Schneeflöckchen (Icebear). It was really a lovely evening and also the photos of Helenas trip to India were great!

After we arrived at home again, I got to know the local folks... Robin (Corinnas favourite since she was born, the big one), bear and cow. Bear was presented to her by her love last christmas and cow is a symbol for her veganism she bought when she startet to be vegan five years ago (cow is very good in Yoga and Meditationn she can bend her legs very very far).

Corinna takes me everywhere she goes but always forgets to take pictures so there are no more right now... she is very busy because of her studies and hobbies but today we go to the fitness club again (3-4 times a week so you can guess that I´m already well trained) and today she will make a foto she promised...

See you soon,

Iiris

Hi to everyone

A few days ago I´ve been on a market with Corinna and her boyfriend where people sell stuff they don´t need anymore like books and well everything you can imagine! They were looking for great individual stuff for their Xmas-tree (it´s not here first Xmas together but their first own common tree because they are moving together just right now. And that´s also the reason why I don´t write that often...they just need my help ). We found some very great stuff! You can find a picture below with the really crazy decostuff...but it only shows my favourits

Besides I´ve been to Corinnas university very often and today I took a foto of one of the really big auditoriums. It´s for all the Geology and Geography students of Cologne.

On friday we made some self-made Xmas-postcards of old paper (there´s a pic as well) and wow there´s so much I did and saw but I just can´t talk about everything...

See you later,
Iiris

Hello there!

Today i finally arrived in the Netherlands to vist my new host Laura! She was really happy when she found me in the mail this afternoon. because she was already waiting for me!

She showed me her house a little and told me she also got two cats. One is around 12 years old and the other one is just 20 weeks old! But because i'm a mouse i dind't meet them yet.. But i will soon.. I just don't need to be scared..

After i saw her house we went out on a little field trip to the park neer by her house. Laura wanted to make some pictures of the fog and offcourse from me so i could write this blog.



Hello duckies!

After we had our little walk in the park we went to a shop called Hema. Laura wanted to look for a little toy so could send out into the world. Because she was so happy when she receive me and just want to have her own toy travel the world! But she only saw this big Sheep, with is a littel te big.. But maby she will by hem but she's not sure yet!

After we got home again i helped Laura with writing three new postcards she bought at the Hema to send into the world. And offcourse i went with her to bring them to the mail box!


Bye cards!

So this is my story for today!
Tomorrow i just have a kind of day off. Because Laura has a long day at school tomorrow and i just can rest a little from my travel! Also we are going to the beach on wednesday! I'm already excited about it! So see you soon!

And offcourse a little kiss to my mom!

Hi Mom!

I already have a new story for you! Today i met two new friends! Have a look at the pictures!

When Laura came home after school she told me she was going to this shop called Zeeman to look for someting.. She dind't want to tell me what she was going to buy because it was a present! When she got home she got this bag with her!



She told me to take a look into it, so i did..



But whe i got a look in the bag i saw this two new toy who where a lot bigger then i'm, so i got a little scared and decided to hide behind Laura's camara bag..




Laura told me i dind't need to be scared because this two new toys where just two new friends she bought! Beause she was so happy when i arrived yesterday so she decided to also take part of this travel thing with toys! One of the two cups is going to travel around the world and the other one would travel around the Netherlands...



And this is me with my two new friends! Only they don't have a name yet because Laura just don't know two nice names...

So this was my story for today!
