Dear Mum

I've seen a bit of Heidelberg today. The weather was really nice and sunny. First we took a walk along the river Neckar.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-AEEL0iGUlO0/T0VsRUEVR2I/AAAAAAAAJLc/LdL6--euC_s/s560/DSCF9754.JPG

We came to the Old Bridge.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rcBxKqmnnlA/T0VsTePsEXI/AAAAAAAAJLw/hVsEQEdJ6RU/s560/DSCF9753.JPG

We crossed the Old Bridge and here's a view down the river:

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3x3fBiofIqc/T0VsRWhQZRI/AAAAAAAAJLg/K-jL7Zi0Nk8/s594/DSCF9755.JPG

And a view up the river with the castle in the background:

Still on the Old Bridge:

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-4RFvotl3THQ/T0VsUD6g1YI/AAAAAAAAJL0/bEOS95BW6kw/s600/DSCF9757.JPG

We left the Old Bridge through this gate:

The Marstall was built in the early 16th century and is one of the oldest buildings in Heidelberg. Today it's home of the university cafeteria and administration.

Dear Mum

Today I'd like to introduce Sammy to you, one of the cats who's living here. He's quite huge and furry but very nice. He's not interested in travelling, he prefers to sleep and to eat. Well, he's already 14 years old, so I guess he deserves being lazy. Here are some pictures of the two of us.

Dear Mum

Today I travelled almost 4 hours by train and enjoyed it.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-YkkkNTbKCBk/T0qKbELGeII/AAAAAAAAJU8/s7yX0HrarRA/s600/DSCF9821.JPG

We went to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, a city in the northwest of Bavaria. It's actually not that far away from Heidelberg but the train connections are a bit complicated, therefore it took so long to get there. Rothenburg is the best preserved medieval town of Germany.

This is one of the entrances to the city centre. A wall from the Middle Ages encircles the whole centre.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-jH80naV4gFE/T0qKXOShDwI/AAAAAAAAJU0/ChxvYoSitWc/s600/DSCF9823.JPG

Here Králi and I have a look through one of the wall's windows to outside the city centre.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-PX-tDEXq-0g/T0qKda1ScNI/AAAAAAAAJVE/bVCU0iTxYfI/s600/DSCF9827.JPG

And here are some photos taken while we strolled through the city centre on our way to the youth hostel:

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-N0r3LKz3cUs/T0qKfCPRDOI/AAAAAAAAJVU/_v77uHbSEAk/s596/DSCF9831.JPG

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kA8TXDWk12Q/T0qKib8fWkI/AAAAAAAAJVg/cLb9_u6poqM/s600/DSCF9861.JPG

The youth hostel is situated in an old building called "Rossmuehle" and we had a very nice view from our room's window:

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CDFCm6P9WwE/T0qK0bXj_TI/AAAAAAAAJXE/8egB_H479wQ/s423/DSCF9938.JPG

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-j844wibAflE/T0qKjug6f0I/AAAAAAAAJVs/bU4ygkG7ijk/s600/DSCF9867.JPG

After a short rest we continued exploring the city.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-QT4jZ42WiCk/T0qKmJIug7I/AAAAAAAAJV0/KrnXQ4mWVac/s600/DSCF9878.JPG

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-bVIqsy__Bd4/T0qK29hEbWI/AAAAAAAAJXQ/l51pkW_spso/s423/DSCF9948.JPG

This is the Town Hall.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Ur7Rn_fFgvo/T0qKppcxosI/AAAAAAAAJZc/zscOQTPLJWE/s512/DSCF9887.JPG

We climbed the "Roeder Tower" from which we had a great view on the city.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wxEJM44BgTs/T0qKqNKEywI/AAAAAAAAJWI/VXxGnBbQd1I/s584/DSCF9896.JPG

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-47tlpoZgLmI/T0qKoByiTJI/AAAAAAAAJZU/AopWBMz7VVI/s512/DSCF9893.JPG

Then we walked along the wall.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-kNysD3LIPkE/T0qKtLym0OI/AAAAAAAAJZY/jeaxD0TOHfg/s512/DSCF9906.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-cWuucySOhig/T0qKtTzYoHI/AAAAAAAAJWY/BWkcEl9373A/s600/DSCF9910.JPG

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-W6GkDaEQoPw/T0qKxyYDsvI/AAAAAAAAJW0/xQddQGeE8r0/s600/DSCF9928.JPG

When we got back to the youth hostel we were pretty tired, so we got our bed ready and went to sleep.

Dear Mum

After a good breakfast at the youth hostel in Rothenburg, we took a train to Würzburg, another Bavarian city.

We saw the palace Würzburg Residence which was built in the early 18th century and is one of Germany's UNESCO world heritage sites.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nPS8iunqaSk/T0qK51VpBBI/AAAAAAAAJlc/sz_c3eRmI7U/s512/DSCF9952.JPG

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-YAJBtO75e7Y/T0qK-y651wI/AAAAAAAAJX8/HLG3FtZQZkk/s564/DSCF9957.JPG

Then we walked to the river Main and passed the Cathedral.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0Y4SuIU1DbU/T0qLCxtJ4-I/AAAAAAAAJlg/lQh4jm_yteM/s512/DSCF9964.JPG

We also saw this rather strange looking scupture:

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-DWyeNDV2GYM/T0qLEXufrHI/AAAAAAAAJZ0/bjtp9uN8KAI/s512/DSCF9966.JPG

I'm not totally sure but I think this is the former Town Hall:

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-eWtdHqrNmU8/T0qLEraquoI/AAAAAAAAJZ4/AKDjo5wOJ3Q/s512/DSCF9968.JPG

We could see the Marienberg Fortress from the Old Main Bridge:

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VCusqjOZ8rU/T0qLGzzZZAI/AAAAAAAAJYk/ZCaJhWoeiUs/s560/DSCF9970.JPG

We climbed up to the fortress which is very impressive.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ohGEjkaksh8/T0qLJo34xyI/AAAAAAAAJaA/PcBJjjIjOSw/s512/DSCF9976.JPG

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-N-JRhTzdqW0/T0qLNp1Ng2I/AAAAAAAAJZM/C-43YSBS_34/s557/DSCF9985.JPG

We had a great view on the river and the city.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-PIaRtfDZfbM/T0qLNK-I2lI/AAAAAAAAJZE/0JtgAJXTNtg/s542/DSCF9981.JPG

When we got back to the city centre, it started to rain and as it was also colder than yesterday, we decided to take the train back home.

It was a fantastic weekend.

When we got home from our weekend trip, we found another ToyVoyager waiting for us. Her name is Josie and she's a cute little dog. She had brought some candies with her which she shared with us and Sammy the cat was also curious and posed for a photo with us.

Dear Mum

Today the weather was absolutely beautiful and so I went to Neckarsteinach, a small town near Heidelberg which was founded in the 12th century. It's called the city of the four castles because the ruins of four castles from the Middle Ages are situated in the mountains close to the city. One of the castles is owned privately and still inhabited, the others are just ruins and were abandoned 200 - 300 years ago. So we took a walk along the river Neckar, had a look at the castles and walked in the forest. It was really great and it was so warm that nuriayasmin sat down at the banks of the river and read her book for an hour while I just enjoyed the sunshine and watched some ships pass by.

Today I visited Worms which is one of the oldest cities of Germany. It started as a Celtic settlement and was then conquered by the Romans. Its cathedral was built in the 12th century. In 1521, Martin Luther was declared an outlaw by the Edict of Worms. The city is also home of the Nibelungen Saga. Worms had a large Jewish community and the Jewish Cemetery is one of the oldest in Europe. However, during Reichskristallnacht in 1938, most of the Jewish quarter was destroyed and nowadays there's only a small Jewish population living in the city. Worms is situated at the river Rhine in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Unfortunately nuriayasmin had forgotten to recharge her camera's battery before we left so we could only take a couple of photos.

About a month ago nuriayasmin's rabbit Lola died and her son Krümel stayed alone here. Nuriayasmin decided she doesn't want to have a new rabbit and as Krümel shouldn't stay alone, she looked for someone to take him and found a nice woman in Seckach whose female rabbit was looking for a partner. So this morning we checked Krümel's transport box and then accompanied him to his new home which meant a journey of about 75 minutes by train.

Today was nuriayasmin's only day off this week and as the weather was really beautiful we made another excursion. This time we visited Hambach Castle near Neustadt/Weinstrasse in Rhineland-Palatinate. The castle is known as the birthplace of modern Germany because it was host of the Hambach festival which took place in 1832. On that occasion, over 30,000 people from all ranks came together to protest for national unity and liberty. Even though the festival had no immediate results, it's nowadays seen as the "cradle of democracy" in Germany.

We didn't take the direct way to the castle but chose a small hiking path from where we enjoyed some stunning views on to the surrounding mountains and the city below. Unfortunately it wasn't allowed to take photos at the exhibition but we learnt a lot about German history.

Dear Mum

It was a gorgeous day, there were almost no clouds in the sky. So the whole ToyVoyager gang went to Mannheim and invaded the Luisenpark. The Luisenpark origins from the late 19th century and has been continously extended since then. It's obviously one of Germany's biggest and most beautiful parks.

Nature is slowly becoming more colourful again, I really like that.
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-OcMrPusKWSQ/T2o5HkkkufI/AAAAAAAALtE/LCtnv2SuFyU/s564/DSCF0429.JPG

I wasn't sure whether I liked this piece of art or not. It looked quite interesting, though.
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-dP6TD_DRZzo/T2o5Ikq9KLI/AAAAAAAALtU/xVlQt_3qD_A/s600/DSCF0435.JPG

There a also some animals living at the park and this pelican came very close.

Dear Mum

Today nuriayasmin visited a friend in Handschuhsheim, a suburb of Heidelberg, and we took some photos along the way. Handschuhsheim was first mentioned in the codex of the monastery of Lorsch in 765 but people had already settled there for centuries.

This is the Friedenskirche (Peace Church). It's an evangelical church which was built between 1908 and 1910.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-jQAc74NSW64/T24Q1lVy_aI/AAAAAAAAL3c/2OZEM5nbW5A/s512/DSCF0549.JPG

The church is situated next to the Tiefburg, a castle from the early Middle Ages which used to be surrounded by water.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zxgojPiPpAY/T24Q2_JNwyI/AAAAAAAAL28/-Hy2J36SO_M/s564/DSCF0566.JPG

There are still a lot of old houses in Handschuhsheim and this one looks quite enchanted, doesn't it?

Dear Mum

We went to Homburg, a small city situated in the German state of Saarland.

This is the youth hostel we stayed at.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KPYDtiHp7wA/T3yjz8KTDmI/AAAAAAAAMjE/Ymo_zgbCb7E/s512/DSCF0859.JPG

However, before we went to the hostel, we had some delicious icecream.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-pVnql0Ohzqw/T3yjSKjcg2I/AAAAAAAAMiI/027ugE7NPUw/s512/DSCF0629.JPG

I'm sure that you've already noticed that nuriayasmin loves castles and old things, so the reason we went to Homburg had something to do with history, of course, we wanted to see the ruins of Hohenburg Fortress.

So we climbed up the hill and had a nice view over the city.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-vMzCql0ix8w/T3yjUSEy7rI/AAAAAAAAMfg/0RVuq66247U/s564/DSCF0641.JPG

There's a hotel next to the castle and I met one of its employees:

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ietQ43utRfI/T3yjV0KJUSI/AAAAAAAAMiM/RDg3gHb2nm4/s512/DSCF0647.JPG

Then I read some information about the fortress and the region. The fortress was built around 1200 and destroyed by the French in the early 18th century.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-_Srq80n8n0A/T3yjWdbedlI/AAAAAAAAMfw/JMr3f-HY7KM/s564/DSCF0648.JPG

Here are the photos we took while exploring the ruins. Hope you like them.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-fsRlJD-1zfg/T3yjeuY1VFI/AAAAAAAAMgY/6rpzzbJzSZU/s564/DSCF0686.JPG

As there was still time when we came back to town, we strolled through the park near the hostel and played on the playground.

Dear Mum

How are you doing? I'm fine and today I went on a nice excursion with the whole ToyVoyager gang. We had a great day.

This is one of the smaller train stations of Heidelberg. I just had a look, we didn't take a train. Today was a walking day :-).

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-xf2q4K1UNMA/T4nao7FAwOI/AAAAAAAAM4E/tPVz4387120/s600/DSCF1093.JPG

First we went to the cemetary "Bergfriedhof". It was opened in 1844 and consists of a Christian and a Jewish part. It's quite a large area and we saw only a small part of it.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-K3V448MD2fk/T4nauUXgc3I/AAAAAAAAM5U/MBaFg0HLcbM/s512/DSCF1099.JPG

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-K0FI-sv5aCg/T4natAv9qAI/AAAAAAAAM5k/5e1TNsrtejY/s512/DSCF1108.JPG

Here we're all sitting on the grave of the Jewish author Hilde Domin. She was born in 1909 in Cologne and died in 2006 in Heidelberg. In 2004 she became a honorary citizen of the town.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-kL8XNuUcXFs/T4nasRNwLKI/AAAAAAAAM4M/lXbZi4XwwwA/s600/DSCF1114.JPG

After leaving the cemetary we walked through the forest for about three hours.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-1n9fcnGvF94/T4navEIUZvI/AAAAAAAAM4g/-B6H9Qt7JXQ/s600/DSCF1116.JPG

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-pgL-CdgKw0g/T4na2PpcpHI/AAAAAAAAM5Y/hiwmjbMhCO4/s512/DSCF1137.JPG

We rested on this interesting table.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-t2BhLzaeuUM/T4naxxBjMYI/AAAAAAAAM4s/A1VyknqvZdM/s600/DSCF1124.JPG

This totem pole was standing next to the eagle table so we actually felt a little like in the USA.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-renydLlz94Y/T4nayz4qmBI/AAAAAAAAM5c/q7j2s6E2f60/s512/DSCF1129.JPG

We were pretty tired after all that walking but as we had to go down to the city centre, anyway, to catch a bus back home, we decided to take some photos at the castle which is situated about 80 m above the city in the mountains.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-kUbx46x4gmI/T4na1tfZAqI/AAAAAAAAM48/tzmhb1ONxmY/s564/DSCF1146.JPG

Here you can see two of the fountains in the castle's garden.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-QouCXJQE0Pc/T4na54r6hrI/AAAAAAAAM5o/Ea-57GCrHvw/s600/DSCF1166.JPG

The view down to the city, the Old Bridge and the river Neckar is really stunning.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-oTBhW0Fw6Y4/T4na5aTDxUI/AAAAAAAAM5g/Hm8x9xxwP3o/s560/DSCF1170.JPG

Heidelberg Castle was built in the early 13th century and destroyed in the 17th and 18th century. Its remains and ruins are nowadays the city's most popular tourist attraction.

Hello, Mummy!
After 2 days of travelling I finally reached my new host's house. I was very happy to see a teddy bear from Lithuania and another guest from Germany - little mouse - here too! They both gave me a friendly hug and Virgo showed us his home again.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-wxNT3UyVHkk/T5BVzSZTD_I/AAAAAAAAAUQ/QVATpg6PgNA/s640/chiis%2520011.jpg

After that, I felt really tired and we all went to our little beds. We still didn't want to sleep and Virgo told us a story how Vilnius city was "born". It all began with a Gediminas' (he was a famous duke) dream, where he saw an iron wolf howling. One smart fortune teller told him that Gediminas should build a castle in the place where he'd seen the wolf and then build all the city. And now it's the capital of the country :)

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ozH4ULp1SUU/T5BXDhpZ9bI/AAAAAAAAAU4/-pQohVFEmuc/s640/chiis%2520015.jpg

Hey!
Yesterday was a very creative day and we all had a lot of work to do. I've seen my host-mum school and helped her to decorate the walls for "Art Week 2012". My suggestion won - we draw a cat! I was glad to take a picture next to my almost relative :)

After that, me, Virgo and Dottie Mouse went to a mall. It was called "Panorama". We've seen an expo with bikes, went to all kind of stores and took a moment to sit on the benches. They were also painted by artists! I liked to be in the mall and I hope to see more of them in Lithuania.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-sUL2ydMNqPc/T5PezKdpNbI/AAAAAAAAAV0/eeN04eo4INE/s640/chiisi%2520009.jpg

Then we all went outside! It was very sunny, so we played in the grass and helped our mum to clean the car.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Z1mrtxSRwDY/T5PgmiRgzdI/AAAAAAAAAW0/9MPV7xgBsxA/s512/chiisi%2520019.jpg


Later that day Virgo told us that he's going to visit my homeland Germany. I was happy for him and also sad, but Virgo told us that his mum will take a great care of me and Dottie Mouse. It's funny how good the relationship between me (a cat) and Dottie (a mouse) is! I think we will have great time in Vilnius. Bye, mum! :)

After travelling all day through Poland, we finally reached Czech Republic. It was dark at night, so we went to sleep.
Next morning we went to Krkonose mountains. It was very hot (but we saw snow everywhere)!
We climbed to the Snezka mountain and took a picture there.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-AbndeI-9rx8/T5_SRK5CbaI/AAAAAAAAAbU/M90tA9WF9AU/s640/cekija%2520208.jpg

Me and Dottie Mouse are pointing to the place where we lived - Mala Skala:

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-1-PuUrC96MU/T5_SWTW5RuI/AAAAAAAAAbc/DCwd8hvCJmw/s640/cekija%2520209.jpg

When I was in Czeck Republic, I saw this great sheep. And she came home with me! Her name is Lola, she's also from Nici family! My host mum is collecting Nici things and she has a lot of beautiful and different white beauties! Now Lola is in a great place next to other sheep and sometimes we have fun talks.

Now it's sunny in Vilnius, but weather forecast said that it's going to be cold this weekend. Hope not...
Wish you all the best!

Hi!
What a great Friday - we finally went out to see the Old Town and we accidentaly found "European countries days 2012" fair! Sadly there were no souvenirs, but people had a chance to eat traditional food from those countries.

Here are the famous three ladies from Lithuanian national drama theatre(Lietuvos nacionalinis dramos teatras ):

After that me, Dottie Mouse and our host mum Karolina decided to eat some sweet things. We all went to YO YO - frozen yogurt bar. It opened just today, so there were a lot of people and ballooooons  :p Frozen yogurt tastes like ice cream!

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-DlxwEN_6vWM/T6WRDb2lawI/AAAAAAAAAcY/T3pVXzCk6xg/s576/pir%2520031.jpg

Labas! (Hello in Lithuania)
This day is a FUN day! Why? Because it's again coooold outside and me with my host mum and Dottie decided to create new games inside. We called one "Cupcakes race" - we're spinning around!

http://i.picasion.com/resize52/68fe845c046b05f5125f2aed4c442aeb.jpg

And I found a box! We played "Hide and Seek" and I was very hard to find - I'm so tiny and this little box is perfect for hiding :D

http://i.picasion.com/resize52/416d945931fa568de67f402616bf9613.jpg

Here I am with the flowers. Wow, I'm high up there, like Rapunzel!

http://i.picasion.com/resize52/a8ddc94d6688d3f1bdd88efdc9d63bb3.jpg

Tiny tiny grass growing in the balcony. So cute!

I'm under a biiig orchid.

Hey!
Today it was rainy oustide (again...), but I still had fun - my host mum brought me to one of the biggest malls in Lithuania "Akropolis"! There are many shops and other places to spend time.
Look at this beautiful work - 3D painting by some artists. Wonderful!

http://i.picasion.com/resize52/da3268f9eeff16c86a926e390e3048a7.jpg

We were a bit hungry, so we went to a restaurant. I ate cepelinai - it's a traditional food in Lithuania, made of potatoes and meat inside. It's actually very delicious!

http://i.picasion.com/resize52/a9d083c7d61caa97cd41ff4229a2e0ed.jpg

And we ate dessert too :)

http://i.picasion.com/resize52/1dd853939f79fd31cc146de919120c11.jpg

Resting near the "spring tree"...

http://i.picasion.com/resize52/1b97483cbad66b3b90de516b88e93e62.jpg

This is a "print" of a famous basketball's player Arvydas Sabonis hand. My hand looks so tiny next to this!

http://i.picasion.com/resize52/ed0320fda57654b45ecabfa71cb42080.jpg

Sweets in a candy store, made by Lithuanian firm "Rūta". Looks yummy!

http://i.picasion.com/resize52/aabdf9cd2df96578ab38dc97b73e5dea.jpg

And here is another traditional food in Lithuania - šakotis. It's like a pie, but different. It can be really big or small and almost my size (well, still bigger:D).

http://i.picasion.com/resize52/244271dcbe8906066e17783b4308ee46.jpg

After that we went shopping for summer. That's what girls do, right?
I'm feeling tired right now, so I guess I'll go to bed soon. Good night, mummy!

Hey!
This Sunday I was walking on the White Bridge. It's beautiful, Neris river is under it and you also can see a bit of the "New Vilnius" ("New Town"). Here, you can see it too:

http://i.picasion.com/resize53/57e40df937c05000e7da6b2a12b94e3e.jpg

http://i.picasion.com/resize53/267f9067fb5240826a2b88b984c1e101.jpg

Have I mentioned that I was going to go to the flea market this Sunday? There were many many people and while Karolina was selling her handmade things and old books, I took a picture:

http://i.picasion.com/resize53/3c64ba43fc50248eed98ba9f8b708529.jpg

After that, we went to a very pink milkshakes bar "Pink Milkshake". We drank hot chocolate and read magazines in Lithuanian language. Too bad I could understand a word -well, at least I tried! :D

http://i.picasion.com/resize53/827e1c359ce655c6a00f7bf6e202797f.jpg

Well, that's all about today. I guess soon my journey in Lithuania will be over and that's pretty sad. But there are many other countries and I can always come back here for some days too :) Love you!

Hi, mummy!
This week the weather was not so good - it was raining all the time and sometimes even with thunder. Only on Saturday the sun appeared. We went for a walk in the city, because it was GATVĖS MUZIKOS DIENA. It means "STREET'S MUSIC DAY", so you can imagine what we did - we listened to all kind of music and had a great time :)

First, we went to the post and sent some postcards:

http://i.picasion.com/resize53/603c502db1f7638d6bfee5d6b42838b2.jpg

http://i.picasion.com/resize53/485770ca9ed048a0440080e362606759.jpg

We went to the Old Town through one of the oldests streets in Vilnius - Pilies Street. There we found this church! It's Vilniaus Šv. kankinės Paraskevos cerkvė, the church for orthodox.

http://i.picasion.com/resize53/20c9f6428a10990042d4ea8a13283631.jpg

It was hot oustide, so we went to the fountain to refresh:

http://i.picasion.com/resize53/d36b254103ca892deaa843a8c5264c1f.jpg

Here we stopped and listened to alternative music. Look how many people were in the Old Town that day!:

http://i.picasion.com/resize53/242ba291df6dcbd27e060b51cba90d0e.jpg

This is the City Hall of Vilnius. Very big, bright and beautiful!

http://i.picasion.com/resize53/ae78a2ba91cec702dd768028a2df93a6.jpg

Look what I found! A poster showing an exposition with Germany older architecture in the Contemporary Art Centre. Too bad it's already closed :(

http://i.picasion.com/resize53/5a322be57a4dca7ac7f1e1897179dbc3.jpg

Here I am near the St. Annes gotchic church, but you can see only a bit of on my left. In the centre (behind me) is Bernardine's Monastery:

http://i.picasion.com/resize53/722ac10913db55a4a150ff7350dc6131.jpg

That's how I spent my Saturday! Now I feel a bit tired, so I think I'm going to rest.

Hey!
Today the sun was shining and the birds were singing - it was a beautiful day! When Húlí hútú from USA arrived, the day became even greater! We all gave this fox a big friendly hug:

http://i.picasion.com/resize53/6ba4dbdef5ce31044a4f7f9f022ed8c0.jpg

We decided to go for a walk near the house. There was Neris river near us (2nd biggest river in Lithuania), so we went there for refreshment. We found a small bench on the beach and enjoyed the sun. The water wasn't very warm, but some people already swam in it!

Hi!
Today was my last day in Lithuania. It's a bit sad, because I'm going to miss Vilnius, my TV friends which I've met here and my host Karolina, but I want to see more countries :) Now I'm going to FINLAND!

http://i.picasion.com/resize53/20b526198e35d8c00af5027f71cd965e.jpg

Dottie Mouse was travelling to other country too, so we gave Huli and Porridge a big hug and went to our envelopes to make comfortable places. Hope the journey won't be very long  ;)

Hello mommy!


I just arrived to Finland! I'm so happy to be here!

When I peeked out off my envelope, I saw many friendly faces there waiting for me. Mommy, there's so many other ToyVoyagers already in this place. They all seems to be nice. I'm so exited about what I'm going to experience here.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-h1eOg12KIYE/T8XT3Ko7EZI/AAAAAAAAMAk/pAvkj34QRCY/s640/004.JPG

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-aETzrqqGX2w/T8XT2N1ARkI/AAAAAAAAMA8/zuDAM6H5v8c/s640/001.JPG

They introduced themselves as PinkLady, Wayne, Erol the Pirat, B.o.B., Mi Nam, Mo, Telie, Ronja and Finfin.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TC1rPy-KROw/T8XT2FV94sI/AAAAAAAAMBE/zBnUQovb-40/s640/002.JPG

I showed them the postcard, candies and a teabag, what I got from Lithuania with me.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6D49u44nkQ0/T8XT2QmYWDI/AAAAAAAAMAU/FC_cZoNxxYA/s640/003.JPG

Hostmom told me that I managed arrive here just in time, because today evening we all are going to do something really nice thing... Hih, but I don't tell you that yet, because it's more funny to keep it in secret. Don't worry mom, I will tell you that later!

Hello!

I had a w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l day!  :D

Guess what I did... I was in a TOYVOYAGER MEETING!!!
Just great!!! I met sooooooo many new ToyVoyagers, and we had so much fun!
B)

Here are we all toys together in Kirkkopuisto (a church park).
Our hosts and moms mmm105 and Reissari from Finland, and RikeH from Germany has organized this meeting, thanks for them!

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-6_PYptlva7k/T8aJmrcUzBI/AAAAAAAAMBQ/WbB3-TFJpgM/s512/tv%2520miitti%2520001.JPG

Then mmm105 and Reissari said they have a secret, and we all must trust them. They talked each other something about benji jumping...  :o  :o  :o No no no, I won't do that!!! It's too crazy thing to do!!!

But it wasn't a benji jumping place where we went. I was so relief about that. mmm105 and Reissari were just kidding!  :rolleyes:
We went to see more Finnish people in a great postcard shop, where was a postcrossing meeting there. That was nice!

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-20GtOui-GtU/T8aJmtaXUwI/AAAAAAAAMBM/GBym4b8XkY8/s640/tv%2520miitti%2520010.JPG

Look! Isn't the postcard shop amazing?  :o  :o  :o
Have you got a feeling, that you have to buy something?

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-l0qka5ouzTU/T8aJsQJpiXI/AAAAAAAAMCk/jc7We0axiUc/s640/tv%2520miitti%2520022.JPG

After that we went to the restaurant and I ate pizza, yummy.  :p

Then was time to go "home", to mmm105's place.
There we said welcome to a new TV TobiHH, who came to visit mmm105. :)

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-69qJldKzraw/T8aJ_9IEtoI/AAAAAAAAMHc/sWFE2Kzf7aQ/s640/tv%2520miitti%2520075.JPG

After a long and exiting day, I was quite tired, so I went to sleep...

Hey mommy!


Today hostmom took me with her to visit a great place.
We went to näkötorni (the viewing tower) to see good views about Jyväskylä city.
And the views were definitely so great! I saw the hole city from there!  B)

The viewing tower is located in the place called Harju (it's like a hill just next to city center).

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-su3pW7j1TkE/T8kHcHXTC7I/AAAAAAAAMMM/lq0TR6heu4s/s512/005.JPG

There's the city center, and the harbour of Jyväskylä:

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-teIcfJEbYJg/T8kHqbBDDdI/AAAAAAAAMPI/gq3N_qqwmUQ/s640/033.JPG

There's the sport stadium of Harju:

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_UasQbKGbz8/T8kHqJ-hv2I/AAAAAAAAMPE/mUpiI1mRh6o/s640/034.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-JvHKnTrDqnE/T8kHjUDRBOI/AAAAAAAAMNc/L8a9VqQ4ojM/s640/018.JPG

There's the house where hostmom is living! Yes, the building inside the red circle. :)

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-AxHp98iRRKg/T8kH1UBq0mI/AAAAAAAAMRc/iFS9E-JQWg4/s640/055.JPG

There's Natural History Museum in the same building as the viewing tower is.
So, I visited there, too. :)


The Natural History Museum's website (click) tells that "The Natural History Section serves as a preservation unit for natural scientific research, and displays environmental subjects and research material. It takes care of the living plants of the botanical garden on the campus. It also receives wild animals found dead and prepares scientific samples of them. The section has a collection of over 250 000 samples, the most numerous being invertebrates, plants and moss."

I saw many Finnish animals there.

I saw hirvi (a moose). It is the biggest animal living in Finland.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-K5jptNxkIuk/T8kH_V5ZPFI/AAAAAAAAMT0/rW3VUWiVmJY/s640/076.JPG

And I saw karhu (a bear). This one was a baby bear.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-suVSyQEOcls/T8kIAYekRJI/AAAAAAAAMT8/t8DGL4h3LKY/s512/077.JPG

And there's two swans. A swan ( joutsen ) is the national animal of Finland.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-vBmEj2__ZN8/T8kIEtZ1E7I/AAAAAAAAMU8/ZFsU1HsMInc/s640/087.JPG

Just next to Harju, we all stopped to watch a fountain. :)

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-RywSYZCXTAQ/T8kIGUCHfAI/AAAAAAAAMVY/tQVVfAS_j5k/s610/090.JPG

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Oh8uIgTFRVs/T8kIHUx070I/AAAAAAAAMVo/-OyoSwZRBAk/s640/091.JPG

And by walking in the city center I saw this little detail on the wall of one building.
Looks cool!  B)

Hi mommy!


Today is a sad and a happy day.

It's sad, because Mi Nam and Finfin has left from here to travel to their new hosts.

But it's happy, because a new toy BarryO arrived here.

First we all said goodbye to Mi Nam and Finfin.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-pp2nRTx8HaU/T8x9mRrg_DI/AAAAAAAAMdc/uLfRaVucs2A/s640/003.JPG

They went to their envelopes.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1aIsQxMgeuU/T8x9ml4AXxI/AAAAAAAAMdg/LPcAJmhc0NM/s640/005.JPG

Bye bye, travel safe!!!

:)

Then we met a new toy, a teddy bear named BarryO. He is originally from USA.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wNVh6YUWxcU/T8x92XvN63I/AAAAAAAAMd4/r_2PGaiBIbw/s640/004.JPG

Then we had a little party!!!  B)
We ate some German sweets, what Sabbel&Jenton has sent to hostmom.

Hi mom!


I helped hostmom to go to the shop buy some food and other things what need in every-day-life. We went to the shop named Prisma.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-_eI-ztuoQBQ/T9DOLnCrTcI/AAAAAAAAMuU/IZUZESQmnaw/s640/027.jpg

Inside I met some other cute toys.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-1U1zIiHNxUY/T9DNq7Cy4NI/AAAAAAAAMrM/VHALnWzphv8/s590/003.jpg

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-QvDTndERMzA/T9DNt18JWkI/AAAAAAAAMsA/SaY8p7J9j3w/s510/008.jpg

I also tried to put on a SUOMI shirt, but it was "only little bit" big for me. Shame!
By the way, the lion in the shirt is the coat of arms of Finland.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZivHOMPC5Ns/T9DNwieQh_I/AAAAAAAAMsQ/3pttO0wMe88/s530/013.jpg

But this house is not too big for me. I asked hostmom if I could have it, but she said it would be too difficult to mail forward from host to other host... So, I only visited inside the house, and then we continued shopping.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-xejYpW7PH4A/T9DN0AjjWMI/AAAAAAAAMtQ/iisEt_nL_bM/s512/019.jpg

Then I saw such a funny thing: some hens up there! (well, they aren't living ones... so, don't worry about them, mommy)

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CMojMFr6b9c/T9DN1BmKyfI/AAAAAAAAMtE/ciY3eJyTNvc/s640/021.jpg

And then was time to go back. B.o.B., BarryO, Wayne and Mo were there, too.

Hello mom!


It was such a lovely day today, we all decided to go to a picnic.

But first have to make some food to take away.

Some carrots...

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-xt6_nq58c7Q/T9JUDAkG7nI/AAAAAAAAM4o/f6o-7EHEk8I/s640/009.JPG

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-3xZc-9lvAYY/T9JUFoLQVPI/AAAAAAAAM5E/xbq1BAz7_eQ/s640/015.JPG

...and some grapes, too.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-f7KjCN_pa94/T9JUK4lJ1hI/AAAAAAAAM6k/2JXbBRq3_PQ/s640/026.JPG

Then we all packed the food.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_A4P7jgraTA/T9JUNFP0pqI/AAAAAAAAM7E/dvEZiWlZVJ8/s640/031.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-mypeyxTufDA/T9JVSZa8E2I/AAAAAAAANGw/cik_YrfDy88/s640/033.JPG

Then it's time to go.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-lUcXGr0MbJM/T9JUOTRc_XI/AAAAAAAAM7Q/Xq6PJSa5To0/s512/034.JPG

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-88twA1cqJYY/T9JUP8slxCI/AAAAAAAAM7c/QXoci6DrG9k/s640/036.JPG

This place seems to be a good place to have a little picnic.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-aGqpiQRH74o/T9JUQJlPmPI/AAAAAAAAM7g/GwYNkxtw-PM/s640/039.JPG

No no no, we changes the place.
This second place is much more better, because we are now just next to lake.  :)

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-5DkO09TH7jY/T9JVSKWxKXI/AAAAAAAANGo/tYtU1ea7-4k/s512/046.JPG

But then, we decided to go back inside.

Hi mommy!


I cooked today!  :p

I did some "stuffed tomatoes", and it was yummy.

First thing to do is wait untill a frying pan is hot enough...

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-kbr6ayN34Ko/T9JUkVtu4KI/AAAAAAAAM_U/UfWb0ibn1Gc/s640/103.JPG

Then it's time to put the meat to the frying pan, and make them brown.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-mv3fkefjsEE/T9JUu02hqaI/AAAAAAAANBU/tyMkVcYR29c/s640/122.JPG

Then I made some grated cheese.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-oNX6umYdhu0/T9JUmrjkDII/AAAAAAAANAM/DSZoaQNk-hM/s512/109.JPG

I prepared tomatoes. I covered them with a spoon, and I made tomatoes empty. And those covered tomatoes I put into the bowl.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fJ2GElD3t6E/T9JU0crfQqI/AAAAAAAANCY/T5BkSIKhx-Q/s640/133.JPG

Then it's time to make tomatoes full again. :)
I put meat and grated cheese into tomatoes.
Offcourse I used also some spicyes, like oregano...

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fgR1f08J_18/T9JU5qT2yvI/AAAAAAAAND8/OP44MPH5Ebk/s640/144.JPG

Tomatoes are almost ready. They just need to put into owen, and when the cheese has got some nice colour, they are ready.  :p

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-_g65uLEQNHg/T9JU-RvVqoI/AAAAAAAANE8/iYbsf3TfS7c/s640/155.JPG

Yummy, it's ready!!!  :p (in the picture you can see the stuffed tomato, but also some other vegetables next to it)

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-RsTekdaDHo4/T9JVD9U3xpI/AAAAAAAANFs/CIjs2soxMdU/s640/164.JPG

Hello!


Today I watched television. There was very popular program, Moomins. :)

Moomin charachters and stories are popular in Finland, but also almost all over the World. The writer of Moomin stories is Tove Jansson (1914-2001).

Hostmom told me, that there's many many Moomin things here in Finland. First of all, there's the Moominworld in Naantali, the Moomin museum in Tampere, and there's also lots of Moomin products selling in Finland.

Lots of Moomin info you can find through this link.

Hi mommy!

I met today a new ToyVoyager, hostmom's own new TV Kurnau. We all introduced ourselves to him.

Mommy, I did something marvellous today. I plowed, and there were... there were MANY magical bubbles flying in the air!!! Just like that!!! Wow!!!  Can you believe it? :o
Oh, and then happened something unbelievable: those bubbles suddenly didn't exist anymore...  :o  :o  :o

I was so confused... What it was?  :thinking:

Hostmom explained to me that they are soap bubbles. :)
And when they hit something, they exploded.
Ooooh, now I underestand.  :D

Hello mommy!


I went to visit in place called Viherlandia today. It's a place, where are selling lots of different flowers and other plants, and other things needed in gardening. There's also a cafe.

Hostmom went to this place, because there was a postcrossing meeting there. But first, she showed me something really great: two living parrots, Kalle and Torsti!

Here is me and the other parrot.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-fmpuc1_yVe8/T94AUr8pJbI/AAAAAAAANJw/X6xw0TlI9tM/s621/050.JPG

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-px6v_YUoGw0/T94AVMGmg0I/AAAAAAAANJ4/pDV-0FfNSVU/s513/051.JPG

After meeting parrots, we went to cafe. And because I was very hungry, I ate a panini (a toasted/grilled warm sandwich). It was so good, that others came to eat it, too...

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-M7MJ7aL1UQM/T94AdQwoZuI/AAAAAAAANMA/KZDwqqj2zMU/s512/074.JPG

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-45wIcjtyNzk/T94AcRxn_SI/AAAAAAAANL4/QhgVfKpBHW4/s634/073.JPG

And for dessert, I ate a piece of cheese cake. Yummy!  :p

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-jHeFjpEmZ5I/T94AYaM1YSI/AAAAAAAANK0/LP_PUOIjKnU/s512/064.JPG

Then I took part in a postcrossing meeting. And guess what?!? There I met two new ToyVoyagers: A teddybear and a horse (they were with another Finnish host Delenna there). :)

Here are we all:

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-j7VKoABtouc/T94AgAf0WdI/AAAAAAAANMc/Pj0n_5FZ3z8/s512/082.JPG

Hello mommy!

It’s juhannusaatto (Midsummer’s Eve) today. I saw something really exited thing: juhannuskokko (a Midsummer bonfire)! It was so cool.

Here are some info about Midsummer celebrations in Finland:


"In the Finnish midsummer celebration rituals include bonfires, cookouts, a sauna and spending time together. Bonfires are very common and are burnt at lakesides and by the sea. In folk magic, midsummer is a very potent night and the time for many small rituals, mostly for young maidens seeking suitors and fertility. An important feature of the midsummer in Finland is the white night and the midnight sun. Because of Finland's location spanning around the Arctic Circle the nights near the midsumme day are short or non-existent (in Lappland there’s several days when sun doesn’t set at all). This gives a great contrast to the darkness of the winter time."

It was really nice to experience this Finnish celebration.
And mommy, can you believe that these photos have been taken just 1-2 hours before midnight, and there is still not dark at all!!!

Hello mommy!

Guess what??? I can go to visit Spain with my current hostmom. She is going there for a holiday and she will take me with her! Wow!  B)

I put the sunglasses on. Look, it's little bit big! Hih...  :cyclops:

I helped hostmom to pack her things. And I said 'bye bye' to Kurnau, because he will stay at home. Hostmom thought that someone has to stay at home, just in case, if any toy will come here between those days when we are abroad.

Oh, tomorrow we will leave. I'm so exited!

Mommy, I will tell you later, what happened in Spain...

Look, mommy, there's so funny text in the serviette. :)

Hello mom!

It was quite late last evening when I arrived here (it was already dark, so I didn't take any photos of this place then). But now I did! :)

This place is Riviera del Sol, and it's Mijas-Costa, just next to Mediterranean Sea. I'm here about one week with my hostmom and toy friends. This is nice place to spend a holiday.  B)

These pictures are from our hotel. Is it look nice, mom?

Hello!


I was walking on the beach of Mijas-Costa, it's a part of the hole beach of Costa del Sol. There were so soft sand. I really liked walking there without any shoes or sandals or something.  B)

It really feel like summer now!  B) Sun is shining and it's so warm (about 29 degrees Celsius).

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rbtqJYiTBYc/T_suPlY1xJI/AAAAAAAANZM/tDDhMPs0PsA/s640/espanja%2520033.JPG

While walking on the beach I found some tiny clams from the ocean.
Are they pretty, mommy?

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Ij5kD0bRoT8/T_suUa9wA8I/AAAAAAAANaQ/daP-DYt0X-U/s640/espanja%2520046.JPG

Then there were a small beach-cafe there. I stopped, and I ate an ice cream.
Guess what, mommy!!! There was an ice cream with my name!!!  :o  :D  :D

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-IwETz7xE3mk/T_suSrr3JvI/AAAAAAAANZ8/In0LaqO1cgY/s640/espanja%2520041.JPG

When I continue walking on the beach, I found this small cave! How cool is that?  :D
We all went inside to the cave, just because we all toys are too curious, hih.  :D

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-JC43NrU4fW4/T_suduioXxI/AAAAAAAANcE/_HTvnMmAECU/s640/espanja%2520069.JPG

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-_XoU3uvxnEA/T_sudd85IUI/AAAAAAAANcA/yzMGM5v-75I/s512/espanja%2520068.JPG

Because I wanted to see the big ocean even more better, I decided to climb on the rock. It's the same rock as the cave has.
Other toys climbed there, too.
Mommy, can you see me? I'm on the rock's wall.  B)

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-gvy3865unl8/T_suWgJrpRI/AAAAAAAANas/0vykP5_PsMs/s512/espanja%2520057.JPG

It was very exiting!

After walking on the beach I wanted to enjoy sunshine.
So, I took a sun bath, it was soooooo relaxing!
Mommy, close your eyes, imagine the sound of ocean, and warmth of sun, and just relax...  B)

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ZyFLZkz5Hwc/T_suhyHqRBI/AAAAAAAANdM/aX58rDIGwxQ/s640/espanja%2520829.JPG

While walking back to hotel, I saw a flag of Andalucia (one part of the country Spain), and a flag of Spain.

i Hola !

:) Mommy, I got one of my life mission completed today!!!  :)

In the evening I visited in a zoo named Biopark.
More information about Biopark you can find here: http://www.bioparcfuengirola.es/en

It located in the town named Fuengirola, one of the town in Costa del Sol.

There was amazing in the Biopark!!!  :D There were so many animals there, and the hole zoo was like a tropical paradise!

I met different monkeys, tigers, alligators, parrots, flamingos, hippos, frogs, snakes, birds... etc.

The most exiting thing was that we all were able to go inside the place where they kept monkeys from Madacascar (the first photo). And when we were there with those monkeys, one of them was interested about hostmom's backbag, and tried to take a look inside of it. Hih!  :D Maybe the monkey was hungry and searched food from hostmom's bag... Or maybe he was only too curious.  :D  :D  :D But it was funny thing anyway.

Love,

Hello mommy!

Here you can see a view of town Fuengirola. :)

I visited many times in Fuengirola, because it was a place where we had to change a bus, if we wanted to visit another cities.

This photo has been taken very near of the bus station of Fuengirola.

Today I visited town named Mijas. It's beautiful small town located more away from the ocean, and more near to the mountains.

Look mommy, how breath-takingly beautiful views there was!  :o

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-5zsUOJAsQjU/T_v1WI3OyJI/AAAAAAAANhE/F3dAbReQ_Vg/s640/espanja%2520300.JPG

We all toys found a small nice park. So, we walked there. :)

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-AmJe1m1_q14/T_v1yxKgFHI/AAAAAAAANkg/EIwuGkTDQPA/s512/espanja%2520286.JPG

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MBP0abZxnSI/T_v1QryZAhI/AAAAAAAANgA/9P5uLLfRrQo/s512/espanja%2520287.JPG

I climbed on the tree to see surroundings even better. It was fun!

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-P6WkefTm_Qg/T_v1Sa7eiQI/AAAAAAAANgU/EAmXTZReIZw/s512/espanja%2520290.JPG

From the tree I saw a very old church. I wanted to see it better, so I went there, and others came, too.
We are sitting on the wall of the church. Can you see me, mom?

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-d5GddxwuQH8/T_v1bQ3r5CI/AAAAAAAANiQ/vb9rwzc02AM/s512/espanja%2520314.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-UryBORPGlgA/T_v1cNjIAtI/AAAAAAAANic/CKPprAye9mg/s550/espanja%2520314m.jpg

Then I walked on small streets of Mijas.
This is one of the street I walked on. Look the background mom, there's a nice mountain there. And if you look very carefully, you can see the white building in the mountain, it's a cathedral.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-BbHKixKi33U/T_v1JAMEPBI/AAAAAAAANec/WM5zMW_K6MY/s640/espanja%2520273.JPG

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-MOkC1usz59M/T_v1aq2h13I/AAAAAAAANiA/Q6JVPRbq92c/s640/espanja%2520313.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-li8KP3BhRl4/T_v1OWdbo9I/AAAAAAAANfs/W7J3b7zg0J0/s640/espanja%2520284.JPG

At first, there was a flamenco show. It's a typical dance in Spanish culture. It looked nice! :)

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0yeRf-ZH8sw/T_v1eJ7XV8I/AAAAAAAANjE/bWVHmDgVO28/s640/espanja%2520326.JPG

Hello mom!

I visited today in a great place: Gibraltar.  :)
Gibraltar is a British overseas territory located on the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula at the entrance of the Mediterranean.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-VlxvlxdC-kM/T_w4cMcksBI/AAAAAAAANlk/pOcSZC1c2Ao/s512/espanja%2520439.JPG

I saw these flags: A flag of United Kingdom, a flag of European Union, a flag of Gibraltar, and some other flag (I think it's an advertising flag or something).

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-IudZvpngneY/T_w4ceMvfOI/AAAAAAAANlo/RHVV832odRU/s640/espanja%2520442.JPG

On the window of one shop I saw a picture of the Queen Elizabeth II. She is the head of Gibraltar state, and represented by the Governor of Gibraltar.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-eeyZ4XTiTKA/T_w5G0ds02I/AAAAAAAANtU/hDoXIoAXrMs/s640/espanja%2520625.JPG

Because Gibraltar is British overseas territory, there's some double-deckers, offcourse. I think those red busses look nice and unique.
In the backround of the photo there's a part of the Rock of Gibraltar. :)

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-nqaS2QFIhq0/T_w4YgwGcnI/AAAAAAAANk8/lLNYg1HGFbI/s640/espanja%2520433.JPG

This is the lighthouse, it's called "The Europa Point". :)


"The Europa Point Lighthouse was built by Governor Sir Alexander Woodford between 1838 and 1841. It was fully automated in February 1994 and its loom can be seen over a distance of 27 km (17 mi). It is the southernmost lighthouse for which Trinity House is responsible, and the only one outside the UK." (Wikipedia website)

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-NfQiDnuwMOw/T_w4kfXzNLI/AAAAAAAANnU/po5uCPO13To/s512/espanja%2520473.JPG

Now I am inside of the Rock of Gibraltar. There's a cave, a big one, and inside the cave there's many dripstones!!! Cool!!!  B)
Mommy, I'm in the stalactite cave! Wow!!!

Outside the cave I met a monkey of Gibraltar.
These monkeys have a bad reputations, because they often try to steal from humans. Luckily they were in kind mood today, and didn't try to steal anything from hostmom.

Mommy, can you believe that sometimes can be exactly right place in right time? Well, today it happened. I was in the right place in the right time!  :D

I saw The Olympic Torch!!! And it was only good luck, because it happened suddenly, and hostmom hadn't any clue of that beforehand.

It was so nice surprise, that hostmom couldn't believe her eyes, she couldn't believe it's really true, The Olympic Torch, wow!!!  :o  :D When hostmom started to believe it's really true, she had hurry to have a camera...  :)

I'm so happy, that I was there with hostmom, and I could see the Olympic Torch!

Today I visited in a city named Benálmadena. It's also one city in Costa del Sol.

We stopped to watch a nice fountain on the street. It was funny fountain, because it changes the sizes of water (first it was small, but then it suddenly turns out to be a big fontain, and then small again etc...).  :D

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ghYpaC7DzpI/T_0kp8LCxYI/AAAAAAAANug/EPHeLY0xsO0/s640/espanja%2520632.JPG

There's a mountain named Mount Calamarro in Benálmadena. And there's an opportunity to go to the top of the mountain using cable cards. So I drive cable car today, too. But this time it was much longer way (about 2600 metres), and it took about 12 minutes to go in one direction.

It starts here.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-vaWo3YewN58/T_0kqJPgysI/AAAAAAAANus/89YhgZJtUYs/s512/espanja%2520634.JPG

It's our last day in Spain today. In the evening we are going to the airport of Malaga and start travelling back to Finland.
But before that, we had a nice day to spend, and we were in the city named Torremolinos.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ybG0BU2emG4/T_159R7butI/AAAAAAAAOBU/9vFQAbXBN00/s512/espanja%2520962.JPG

And because I have already met two cats (nuriayasmin's Sammy-cat and mmm105's Jeppe-cat), I have seen 6 different cats in total by this far.

Mommy, I got my life mission completed!!!  :D Hurray!!!

Hi mom!

I'm back in Finland now. The hole journey in Spain was amazing!

Now I'm in the train travelling back to Central Finland, to Jyväskylä, where hostmom is living.

I feel very sleepy, because the flight was in night-time, and I couldn't sleep in the airplane.

Hei äiti! Hello mom!

I was walking outside today. I saw a nice small park. And there I saw this statue of Uno Cygnaeus (1810-1888). He is considered the father of the Finnish public school system.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-phYQAKgEoig/T_8e6DR0KbI/AAAAAAAAOMM/8XJ9Fpj4XJ8/s640/026.JPG

And because the boy in the statue is reading, I feel like I want to read something. Kurnau show me the local library building.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_sGDEE5jagY/T_8e0Jk_VSI/AAAAAAAAOK4/N91KStRpI_o/s640/014.JPG

Kurnau helped me to find a book about cats. There's so many books!!! :o Even more books are outside the photo.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-KZKg_L4uJNs/T_8ga2ve8rI/AAAAAAAAOTI/b6xcot_oYAw/s640/098.JPG

And yes, we found it!!!  :D

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VEZ0FtUlrBY/T_8gez6Q-aI/AAAAAAAAOT0/VdGxs2qdNfk/s640/106.JPG

There's an art statue in the library building. This one is called "Tiedonpuu" ("A tree of knowledge"). It has made in 1980.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-AytAuWRF9Qk/T_8gmJrEj7I/AAAAAAAAOUs/yGkBKyeFw-M/s512/116.JPG

And there's also a nice exhibition about the history of Jyväskylä-city, the dolls are showing things about this town's developement.

In 1900's came first railways, and it helped making connections to the World.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-5zsXzzx05C8/T_8frhqzjLI/AAAAAAAAObw/efVl2vakmJg/s544/059.JPG

In 1910's industrialization grows and became more and more important.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-c61W7nZ53dg/T_8fsNh6T0I/AAAAAAAAOcA/g5ddZ_UqfxY/s542/060.JPG

In 1940's Jyväskylä was important supporting hometown during wars.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-RZrOF5uFkRc/T_8fq5gCPUI/AAAAAAAAOcc/YFNMgbjU09Y/s640/058.JPG

In 1970's trafic grows fast, and it was necessary to build bigger and better streets.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-dN3Me7PuL2g/T_8fqpJjeaI/AAAAAAAAOco/8kV1Odyb2Vo/s512/057.JPG

In 1980-1990's the activities of free-time got more popularity.
(And by the way, ice hockey is very popular activity in Finland, and Jyväskylä is the current Champion in Finnish ice hockey.)

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-TeW0yJ_FKI0/T_8fpUiq6uI/AAAAAAAAOc0/7SeLnVNMO3A/s502/054.JPG

In 2000's Jyväskylä became a bigger town, because some federations of municipalities has made (smaller cities joined together to became one bigger city).

Hi mom!

Today I saw some public art works outside. They are all so unique. :)

This one is called as "Elämän koulu - vastuu, luottamus, luovuus"
In English it might be something like "A school of life - responsibility, trust, creativity"
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-uJIhsiTJdSQ/UAMVI8yeEfI/AAAAAAAAOik/0xDDrnP_XLQ/s640/008.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ZxZZ2oKi3Bw/UAMVJgJa0eI/AAAAAAAAOi0/9VpCxpaX4gg/s640/010.JPG

This one is "Karhu" ("A Bear"). The artist's name is Oskari Raja-aho, and the statue has made in the year 1930.
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-hHE26w7lqXE/UAMVNLkiWNI/AAAAAAAAOjk/9W8Ke_gMmQk/s640/019.JPG

Look, we all are riding on the bear!  ;)
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-d1AUl0I-rFc/UAMVWnJFyLI/AAAAAAAAOl0/i6seyKJLVlA/s640/038.JPG

This one is "Keinumieli-Tyhjämieli-Häkkimieli" and the artist is Juhani Petäjäniemi, and it has made in 1989.
The name is difficult to translate into English, but it might be something like "a mind of swing - a mind of emptyness - a mind of cage".
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-OiWU0x66nWA/UAMVQWWjXkI/AAAAAAAAOkU/s6jhsoBsqwM/s512/026.JPG

I like this statue. It looks like there's two people flying. :)
The name of the statue is "Elinehto-ajatus-liiketoiminta" and the artist is Heikki Häiväoja, and it has made in 1979.
The translation of the statue's name is "Lifeline-idea-business".
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ULebderhvWU/UAMVUvisD9I/AAAAAAAAOlc/xDtad3ss1ww/s640/035.JPG

And there's a statue "Kauppias ja apulainen" ("A Merchant and his assistant). The artist is Pauli Koskinen, and it has made in 1959.
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-x_0g40OOGqo/UAMVY3PB23I/AAAAAAAAOmc/QnY1xVi02xs/s512/045.JPG

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-lF3ekCTUY08/UAMVZ_nLJEI/AAAAAAAAOmw/y84sh4JLR1E/s512/047.JPG

And this one has made the same artist, Pauli Koskinen, in the year 1957. It is art in the outside wall of the building. And it's name is "Reliefi"
https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-Y_r10QY4TH8/UAMVc5NfiGI/AAAAAAAAOnc/r3cphZnEcZI/s640/055.JPG

After walking a little there started to be dark clouds in the sky, so we turned walking back, and we hoped to arrive 'home' before it's raining...

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-sW1nHt2E-OA/UAMVeH66sUI/AAAAAAAAOn0/Sb2L6eEjO8U/s640/060.JPG 

...But mommy, we didn't managed. It started raining so quickly.
And the  rain, it was HARD, we got totally wet within one minute.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-TgnQXp2eNk0/UAMVi_7BnvI/AAAAAAAAOpU/L4lfS7iM6fI/s640/073.JPG

We run back 'home', and inside it was time to get dry again, aww... :)

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-g7RLpRz-BtM/UAV0NYYd51I/AAAAAAAAOr8/tZRbJt80i6w/s640/003.JPG

"Hello! My name is Phog. I'm from Germany, but I was visiting in South Africa." said this cute dog to us.
We introduced ourselves, too.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-SF_jBUm9eRw/UAV0NVEJ25I/AAAAAAAAOr4/ljI6vwSDiXI/s640/004.JPG

Then Phog showed us the great postcard what he had took with him from South Africa.

Hei! Hello!

Today I went outside to walk and look around this surroundings.
And almost immediately I saw the beautiful nature of Finland,
so many green coloured trees, the fresh air, and so on.
Oh, it's so nice to be here!

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-c_IXulCVmm0/UAkQJBBW4uI/AAAAAAAAOvo/a32ErMHwDdA/s640/004.JPG

And this is an orthodox church of Jyväskylä.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-xoWftHngdeg/UAkQTPhwFzI/AAAAAAAAOxo/-CCTYOPOtnI/s512/023.JPG

And this is an evankelic lutherian church of Jyväskylä.
The church has buildt in 1929, and the architect was Elsi Borg.
This church has called also "the church of angels".

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-a50-3WdPBy4/UAkQYx3DSeI/AAAAAAAAOzA/IyG6qicP8m0/s640/034.JPG

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-u6fSw0SO4Yo/UAkQdasfaGI/AAAAAAAAOz8/Vid9A1az1Jw/s512/042.JPG

Then I continued my walking, and I found a river named Tourujoki.
This river goes through the city of Jyväskylä. It's about 2 kilometres long river,
and it goes from the lake Palokkajärvi to the lake Jyväsjärvi.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-4owju0XgNp8/UAkQl5tTVJI/AAAAAAAAO08/67IxdnUVD9w/s640/053.JPG

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-KIv3yLku_YQ/UAkQtbCtD5I/AAAAAAAAO2M/EjHoOL8U3PU/s640/064.JPG

Here are we all toys: Lina, Kurnau, Wayne, Totoro, Honeymooners, Hunny, Phog, me, Ronja, BarryO, TobiHH and Druri.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ZDY_aTCuPPE/UAkQs2lSsOI/AAAAAAAAO2I/XwePpnVj8aI/s640/063.JPG

Hello mommy!

I visited in the natural park of Jyväskylä.
It's so cool forest area just next to the river Tourujoki.
It's a nature conservation area in the middle of Jyväskylä.

At first, we need to go down to the long wooden old stairs. It was exiting!

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-U6bLVT0JUWg/UAl4_7hpsRI/AAAAAAAAO9I/H0OfEIL51wg/s640/065.JPG

Look, how beautiful nature there is! So green!

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-HGEMk8KJkw0/UAl5GX5d9nI/AAAAAAAAO-E/1pLFNzYuZkA/s640/074.JPG

Can you see those weird things in the tree?
They are "kääpä" in Finnish, they are some kind of mushrooms growing in old trees.
How cool!

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ACuOrkprjMs/UAl5vRwwKtI/AAAAAAAAPCM/oaCqjLYGDEM/s512/089.JPG

It's time to have a little brake, and just relax. :)

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XRPm8LihZbk/UAl5VqiDnzI/AAAAAAAAO_0/PcdFVy-sPzI/s640/096.JPG

Then it's time to walk forward.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IqnIC7b-ky4/UAl5dsuPWZI/AAAAAAAAPBI/W_t4W57Z-Tk/s640/104.JPG

We walk on the "pitkospuut", the wooden path on the ground.
There must be this wooden path, because the ground is so wet.

Hi mommy!

Today I visited in the Craft Museum of Finland.

Due to water damage, there were only small exhibitions of different things.
They all were very colourful and nice exhibitions! :)
Just look by yourself, mommy... I hope you can feel the atmosphere through these photos.

There's some Karelian national costumes.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UPSoCUkfhTM/UAqDNbyTrFI/AAAAAAAAPGI/Vvk1DxmtoQo/s640/009.JPG

And there's very old ski supplies.

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-sBGoYE-_YNo/UAqDSXb7foI/AAAAAAAAPHQ/KbYQasCXeNI/s512/020.JPG

This is very colourful art, isn't it?

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-GcS4As9EHac/UAqDePa2swI/AAAAAAAAPKA/cI3zxGCsXnY/s640/048.JPG

This one is so colourful, too.
Do you think there's all the colours of the rainbow?
Well, they are different coloured coat hangers. It looks nice! :)

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-NdFXDzBKbnk/UAqDeSq1IxI/AAAAAAAAPJ8/dT_mc-6ZX3Q/s640/049.JPG

And what do you say about this, mom? Even more colourful!!!  B)
On the floor there's many tiny marbles there.
And in the wall there's a lot chrocheting hotpads.
All together it looks nice, right?

Hello!

I had very exiting adventure last night!
Kurnau had an idea. He told us that hostmom is a nurse in profession,
and we might have a chance to visit her workplace.
So, all we tiny sized toys climbed into hostmom's bag,
and we waited... We were hiding in the bag.
We would surprise hostmom in her workplace, hihii... ;)

Hostmom had a night shift, so our toys very important task to do
was keep a company to her and helped her to stay awake hole night long.

In the hospital we met some new friends: mascots of the hostmom's workplace.
We toys had so much fun together!

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-pEuSexiHcpo/UAqC-h944eI/AAAAAAAAPEc/qMQajbvwZK0/s640/026.jpg

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VBxNAhpMoO0/UAqC--CpTWI/AAAAAAAAPEk/GPb8V0FeMkY/s640/027.jpg

We found a stethoscope, and we listened our sounds of hearts. It was fun!

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-OVAwI5TeiZA/UAqDACy3d3I/AAAAAAAAPE4/Hp4olto9LAg/s640/028.jpg

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-q70OJnxIltk/UBFzE5ptLqI/AAAAAAAAPkI/09bHHgLr9Ik/s640/IMG_8224.JPG

I visited in a place called "kirkkopuisto" (a church park).
There I saw this beautiful church just in the middle of the park
surrounded by green grass, trees and beautiful flowers.
The church has buildt in 1880, and the architecht was L. I. Linqvist.

In the church park, there's a statue of Minna Canth (1844-1897).
She was a famous Finnish writer and social activist.
Her works concentrated on the issues of women's rights.

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-tcL5l0_JOZA/UBFz3mYKQYI/AAAAAAAAPuM/JBq9TI8_wq4/s512/IMG_8311.JPG

I have already visited this place (Harju) earlier, but I just wanted to see it again now with flowers.

Hello!

I visited in a new place today: Korpilahti.
It's located very near of Jyväskylä.

I was there, because there was a postcrossing meeting, and it's one of hostmom's hobby.
I had such a great time in the meeting, and I met new ToyVoyagers there!
Another host (Fendi) was there, too, and offcourse with all her toys
and toy-guests (PieksiHH, Nils and Kitsune).

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-wSiYewstscM/UBvpNo6UdgI/AAAAAAAAQZA/Fw4ntMzSoq4/s553/004.JPG

We all toys have really fun time together! :D
When hostmom and other humans there wrote postcards,
we toys were eating their snacks, hih.

After eating we got thirsty, so we made coffee.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-CEROJtRvKxg/UBvqEqFyP7I/AAAAAAAAQeQ/1fD-cif_ZAA/s640/012.JPG

And then we played hide and seek! But it didn't go so well,
because the most of us was hiding under the glass.

Hello mom!

Today morning one of us left, but in the afternoon we got more company again because a new toy arrived.

Totoro. left here today. He goes to USA to his new host.
We said goodbye to him, and wished a safe and confortable journey.

And then the new toy Cody Otter beaver arrived here. He told very interesting stories about his travels. He has a travel memories notebook with him, and he showed it to us. It was nice!

Hey mommy!

Guess what? I ate together with Kurnau something really Finnish thing: karjalanpiirakka (a Karelian pie).  :p

Kurnau told, that nowadays in the most familiar and common recipe is  to make Karelian pies from a thin rye crust with a filling of rice. Butter, often mixed with boiled egg (egg butter or munavoi), is spread over the hot pies before eating.

And mommy, I have to say: These are good!!!  :p You really should try these some day!

After eating the hole Karelian pie, Kurnau asked if I would like to have a tea party.
So, Kurnau invited all others to come to drink some tea.  :)

And we had a great tea party! We talked, and laughed to each other. It was really nice way to spend the afternoon.

Mommy, just take a look at the pictures, and you will see how much fun time we all had.

Love,

I had such an exiting day today. Hostmom took me and other toys with her and went to drive a car. And guess where we went? We went to visit hostmom's friend. Yes, we all were there. :)
There was a Tupperware home party there. Do you know Tupperware? I think it's popular in many countries. They have good quality things to use in every-day-life.
I met many nice other people there, and we made some smoothies (and drank them) and some croissants, too (and offcourse we ate them, too). :p

Hi mommy!

Today Kurnau showed me really great thing. We went to see the monitoimitalo (it's like a sport center), and especially the pictures in the wall of that building.
They are so cool!!! Look, there's human pictures doing different sports!
Kurnau teached me some Finnish words about sport.

paini = wrestling
tanssi = dancing
lentopallo = volleyball
painonnosto = weight-lifting
voimistelu = gymnastics
jalkapallo = football
juoksu = running

Hey mommy!

Today I had a great day. Guess what I was doing? I visited in the city named Äänekoski. It's located quite near of Jyväskylä, just little bit North. 

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-ihb6XVNzcOc/UDXpkT3dHFI/AAAAAAAARDA/uv91-uIMV4Q/s640/010.JPG

We found a magical little shop named Pompom. The owner of the shop was really nice, and she aloud us to sit on the hammock! It was so fun!  :D

https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-_47CVH-iktw/UDXpkqC29TI/AAAAAAAARDU/Qu6IMuILqWI/s640/011.JPG

And mommy, can you believe that the owner of the shop was fall in love with Wayne-cincerbreadman!!! So funny!!! It was love in the first sight. :p

We found other interesting things from there. :)
Look, this is an antique bed full of different coloured strings!  :o

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UGz4cjtkm5E/UDXppEiZ6yI/AAAAAAAAREQ/NiHOHX9kugA/s512/018.JPG

Oh, and the best part visiting in the shop was meeting other toys there. They were very nice, and together we had so fun time. They were interested about travelling... who knows, if they will be a ToyVoyagers someday...  ;)

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/--RgcxwKRfAA/UDXpoAIrAUI/AAAAAAAAREE/nrb8ziMf19U/s640/019.JPG

Hei mom!

Today I heard an interesting thing. Kurnau told, that this city, Jyväskylä, is an official City of Light.
More info you can find here: http://valonkaupunki.jyvaskyla.fi/english
So, the hole day we only waited the night. We wanted to see some beautiful lights of this city. But because there's so many of them, we only visited some. Can you believe there's more than 70 illuminated sites to admire in Jyväskylä?

At first, we went to see the bridge of Kuokkala.

Hello mommy!

Today I went to walk little outside. Look mommy, there's already an autumn in Finland. It was a rainy day, so I didn't go very far from the hostmom's house (I didn't want to get wet).

I saw many things, what is typical in Finland at this time of the year. Look all those different colours! I think the autumn is quite beautiful time of the year, at least here. Well, hostmom said these colours are just started to come... and after few days it will be even more colourful, all colours will turn out more deeper!  :o

Enjoy watching these pictures, mom! :)

Look the photos, mom, and you can see the colours of nature, too.
Yes, it's the most colourful time of this season, very soon all trees will be "naked", and then it's time wait some snow coming. I'm so exited, I want to see some snow... but I have to wait little more first...

Hi mommy!

Today I visited to see the oldest building of Jyväskylä.
The building called as Taavettilan riihi, which is in English the drying barn of Taavettila.
The building has buildt somewhere in 1700's, the exact year is unknown.
First, building used as a drying barn, but somewhere in 1800's it became usual barn/cabin and it got windows then. In 1900's the building started to be a cabin museum.


Jyväskylän vanhin rakennus = the oldest building of Jyväskylä
Riihi muutettu tuvaksi 1800-luvun alussa = a drying barn has turn to be a cabin in the beginning of 1800's
Jyväskylän yliopisto = University of Jyväskylä
Rakennus 3 = Building 3

Hi mommy!

I'm coming back home! I just can't wait to see you again, mom! :)

But before I'm going, I said goodbye to others.
