Hello world, finally I´m also a toyvoyager. Mum wasn´t so convinced at first because she likes me quite a lot. When she couldn´t find a suitable TV on the loppis, that´s a fleamarket (a big thing here in Sweden) she finally said yes. And here I am. Stupidly the pictures from today didn´t turned out so nice, only my profile picture. We went south of Stockholm somewhere to buy a hmm honeysling? No idea what this humans call that. So on the way we had a picnic on the mini skihill from Uppsala, which is called "Uppsala Alpine" Quite funny, it can´t be higher than 300m :D Remember, I´m a real alpine cow, I´ve seen the alps, I was even several times on an alp over the summer.
So, here only one pic for today, more will come soon! I hope, I will also soon go and travel! I´m really excited to get started here, but mum said, we have to wait first for two other Tv´s to arrive, so that I can tell them the important stuff and then I can leave! Hurray!
(and now she is cursing that her pic´s are too big or too high solution or whatever)

So, today we went to the botanical garden after all the painting.
First I want to show you the sunset we watched yesterday while sitting on the balcony with a beer.
The other pics are all from the garden today, the butterfly was beautiful, but mum said, I can´t go on the pic because then it would fly away. Here the pics now, we go grilling so mum has no time to do it nicely ;)

Juhuuuu. No, we are not tennis fans. No, we are not even sport fans. But we are swiss! And happy for Monsieur Federer! But it was really hard work, mum watched only from time to time, I watched the hole game since 1500 and now my knees feel like pudding.
Congratulation

Hello everybody :D
We have a new grill and made cevapcici and veggie skewers. It was perfect. But unfortunately we have not so much time to enjoy life at the moment as we renovate the kitchen and mum needs any help she can get. So I paint and paint and paint.
Last monday Poschti arrived and I´m not so lonely anymore. Mum also has some more helping wheels and hooves. We are all very happy that he´s with us and soon we will also go and show him around here.
Mum said my pics were too big, so we try with 500px then. Let´s see.
So long...
(and thanks for all the fish)

So, now we are complete. Sheela arrived today with a lot of nice gifts. And tomorrow we all go to town to buy a bag for me and then my first big journey will start. I´m going to Germany. Visit Poschti´s mum. I like Poschti very much so it will be interesting to see where he comes from.
I have to go back, they make party without me!
Soon soon. Or Snart snart, like we say in Sweden.

Today is the big day! I will leave Sweden.
The weekend was nice, but wet. So I stayed inside most of the time. Only made one pic with the rainbow, but couldn´t  get out then, it rained too hard.
So. One rainbow for the luck and then hopps in the bag and on my way to Germany and Susie´s.
Bye Poschti, Sheela, Valentine and Fisi!

Har det så bra!

Haaaaaaaaaalllllloooooooooo Mama,  :D

I already arrived in Germany! Wow that was quick! But I'm glad that I didn't have to be in that envelope for too long.
But now I'm sitting here and can't go nowhere. The other TV'sVirgo, Doofus that are staying with hostmum and some friends HappyHippie and littleT.B. (they both wanna be TV's too some day) greeted me (of course). But now they are running around and keep whispering all the time and keep telling me to stay by my envelope and not to go anywhere. I wonder what that may be about......

Love ya  :D

Now I know what was going on yesterday. Doofus and Virgo planned a little welcome surprise for me.  :D But since I got to Germany so super fast they weren't done with the preparations yet. So they had to hurry to put up the decoration and make dinner. They made Köttbullar just for me. :cyclops: Hmmmmmm that was so yummy.  :D
And when they told me that I can have the last portion of there self made Ice cream I couldn't help it and had to cry a happy tear(and because I miss you and our home a bit).

Gute Nacht Mama love you

Klöver

PS @ Poschti I won't tell your Mum any of our secrets.  ;) I promise!!!

Good Morning mummy,

look what hostmom did! See made Kanelbullar (swedish cinnamon rolls) just for me! I love her for doing that!  :D
I asked if can help but Susie's told me that I don't have to and that she wants to spoil me a little bit. So I just hung around the kitchen and watched her makeing the Kanelbullar. Doofus and Virgo came by very once in a while to watch too.
The first try with the dough unfortunately didn't work out (in the white bowl) but luckily hostmum had ingredients to try it again.
And this time it worked out just fine (in the red bowl).
Ohhhhhh and the Kanelbullar are soooooo good! Hmmmm I can't stop eating!  :D
Yumm yumm.

Have a nice sunday.

Hello there,

sunday hostmum took me outside for the first time. She showed me (or let's say us, because Virgo and Doofus came with us) a castle called Phillipsruhe in the town of Hanau. It is right by the river Main and has a nice little park around it.
It was started to be build in the year 1701 by Earl Philipp Reinhard from Hanau.
Today it's home of a museum, a Restaurant, people can get married there (which it is very popular for) and rooms can be rent for events of all kinds.
And not to forget: I saw some wild living ducks there (they live in the river Main). When I walked up to them to ask if we can take a picture together they just ran away (probably pretty shy). But Susie's managed to take some pictures before they were gone. Yeah!  :)

Hope you had a nice weeked too.

Bye

Since the weather was very nice Susie's took us for a walk along a lake right outside her hometown. The funny thing is that the trees and bushes around the lake are grown so high and wide that you can hardly see it. But we found some spots with a good view. B)
We took the time to sunbathe for a little while there.
After that we climbed up a small bridge that crosses the railroad tracks. Unfortunately hostmum wasn't quick enough to take a picture with me and the train. :( But since I will stay here for a little longer I will have the chance a see a train an other day.

Good night Mama

Love Klöver

Hallo Mama,

it was such a beautiful day today.  B) Hope you enjoyed your weekend too.
Hostmom took me to a birdpark (it has mostly parrots).There were so many of them. Big ones and small ones. Colorful ones and grey ones. Some of them were just loud and screamed all the time, some could talk (they say hello and good when you feed them), some imitate sounds (from cell phones), some are cute and some are..... not!  ;)  They even have a parrot training school and we wachted the parrots make some tricks. That was fun.  :D
Some of the cages are so big that that you could walk in there and the birds came to sit at peoples hands, arms or shoulders.

I really enjoyed my day.

Bye.

I send you a big hug.

Klöver

PS One white parrot almost bit me because I came a little bit too close.  :thinking:  But hostmum luckily pulled me away quick enough. :D

Good Evening Mom,

my new friend Virgo left. Since this morning he is gone and on his way to China now.
But yesterday we got to spent some more time together. Susie's took us to Bad Homburg. She showed us a place called Kurpark (you could translate it with: spa garden or spa park). There are statues everywhere, a tennis court, a golf course, interesting buildings all around and a playground (we played there for a while). In the evening we helped him to get all his stuff together. And this morning was time to say good bye. There was a whole lot of cuddling and hugging. We even hugged the envelope when Virgo was already inside.
And now he is gone. 

But hopefully a new toyvoyager will arrive soon.  :)

Good night Mom.

Guuuuuten Morgen Mama,

Susie's was gone almost all day yesterday and I was a bit bored. So strolled around her place to find something to do. I looked in the fridge but wasen't really hungry, I tried to take a nap but wasen't really tired. I checked out hostmums bookshelf and wachted some TV but none of that was what I felt like doing. I even thought about cleaning the dishes....
But then I looked into the bathroom...... and  there it was: The bathtub!  :cyclops: And finally I knew what I wanted to do....  :D
I took a nice, hot and long bath! I really liked that  and it was very relaxing.  :D

Bye Mom

Love you

PS Don't ask me why hostmum has a carrot in her bathroom! But since it was already there I just threw it in the water. And it turned out to be a bubblebath with lots of foam (lucky me  :cyclops: )

Hello Mommy,

yesterday we were gone all day.
Susie's took us to the so called Floriade (World Horticultural Expo) in Venlo (Netherlands)
First of all we had to get up at 05.30 in the morning( that's incredible early  :rolleyes: ). After breakfast we picked up Susie's Mom and a friend and than drove with the car for four hours. Then we finally reached our destination. The Floriade in Venlo!
First we headed for an area called World Show Stage. It shows gardens and buildings that represent nations from all over the world. While we had lunch there we suddenly noticed thick, black smoke coming from somewhere right ouside the park. We looked at it for a while and then went our way. A bit later we wanted to take the sky train to reach the other end of the park. But right at that moment we were told that the World Show Stage area and the sky train will be closed due to the fact that it is closed to the fire. So we had to walk allllll the way to the Relaxe&Heal area (to the other end of the park). After all it wasn't bad because we walked throught a little forest on a wooden path. Once we reached Relaxe&Heal we had a coffee break. After strolling around there for a while we got told that the park will be evacuated and all 11.000 vistitors have to leave because there is a factory on fire and no one knows if the smoke from the fire is toxic or not. So we slowly walked towards the main entrance/exit . But we took our time and saw a whole lot of beautiful flowers on the way. When we reached the exit we could smell the fire/smoke too (like burned plastic or so). Due to the circumstances we had to leave the Floriade a couple hours earlier than planned.
Hostmum was a bit disappointed that she didn't get to see everything she wanted.
But the good thing about leaving earlier was that we didn't came home too late.

And that was my last exciting day (a bit more exciting than expected) with my friend Doofus.

Because he'll leave to travel to Italy very soon.

Hab dich lieb

Köver

Hallo Mami,

after I said goodbye to my friend Doofus yesterday afternoon I spent the rest of the day outside again.
Hostmum went with me to Frankfurt/Main. We walked around for quite a while and she showed me all kinds of interesting places and buildings. I got to see the Römer which is very famous sight of Frankfurt (The city’s government has been located here since the 15th century. In the 16th century it was considered the most beautiful square in the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation.), I also saw the river Main, the Imperial Cathedral (the Gothic St. Bartholomew’s Cathedral is one of the few to receive the designation “Imperial Cathedral”, Bull of Charles the IVth, kings were elected here. Between 1562 and 1792 ten monarchs were crowned emperor here in front of the coronation altar.), a very weird looking building with some kind of tunnel right through the middle of it (it's a shopping center called "Myzeil" and Zeil is the main shopping street of Frankfurt). In the evening we went to the old Opera House (was almost completly destroint in world war II) and in between we saw some houses hostmom couldn't really name.  ;)
Oh and not to forget all the skyscraper.  :D
For some reason I felt like a tourist all the time.  ;)

Hope you have a nice and relaxed weekend.

Kussi

Guten Abend Mommy,

since Monday I'm not the only Toyvoyager at Susie's home anymore (not that I was "alone" for too long. Doofus left last friday).
So on Monday Karlos got here. I greeted him and was very delighted when we showed me the sweets he brought. Gummy bears!!. Hmmmm yummy! :D I ate them all right away.  ;) But of course I shared with Karlos (and hostmum got one or two gummy bears too  ;) )

Good night.
Susie's


Posted Sep 30, 2012, 11:06 am
Hmmmmmmmmm sooooooooo good! :cyclops:
Yesterday was baking day.
But I must admit that i didn't felt like helping. So most of the time I just hung around the kitchen and wachted Susie's and Karlos making brownies with white chocolate and nuts and then cinnamon squares. Host mum said it's ok bacause Karlos helped enough for two TV's.  ;)
I just once jointed him when he rolled out the dough for the cinnamon squares.

Bye Mom have a nice weekend.

Love Klöver

Hi Mom,

it's me again.  :D
The weather was soooooooo nice today B) . So Susie's took us for a walk in and around her hometown. She showed us the nicest places.There is the old main street with it's cobblestones (they have the bike route of the annual Ironman Frankfurt here and you should see the faces of these poor guys when the first hit the cobblestones with there bikes. Ouch! ;) ) At the end of the old main street is the upper gate. From there we left the town behind us and walked around right outside between the fields and all the apple trees. We went uphill a bit and had a very beautiful view. In the distance you can even see the skyline of Frankfurt/Main.

I really enjoyed this walk.

Hope you had a nice weekend too.

PS Please excuse the little mess with the order of the photo's.

Hi Moooooomy,

yesterday we went on a looooooooooong car drive. After several hours we arrive at Lake Constance.
We didn't do much more that day. Just checked out the hotel, strolled around town for a bit and had dinner.
I'm excited to see what else is abou to come.

Kuss

Gooooooood Morning Mama,

here I am back from a one week vacation to lake constance all the way down in southern germany right at the border to Austria and Switzerland.
It was very interesting and I got a lot to see. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best. We had two and a half days of sunshine but the rest was ääääääähhhhhhh not so nice. But see yourself.

And here we go with the report of my first day at lake constannce:
On Thursday we went to see the worldcultureheritage Pfahlbauten Museum (dwellings museum) right by the lakeside [url=http://www.pfahlbauten.com/lake-dwelling-museum/virtual-museum-tour.html][/url]
First we took a guided tour and then we explored the place ourself.

In the afternoon of that day we drove to a petfarm. They have more than 220 different  types of animals there. Chicken, ducks, donkeys, horses, mice and so on. But they also have animals that I wouldn't consider to be pets. Or do you know someone that has a
reindeer, a lama, a peacock....? 
All of them were very cute.

And that was my first day of the vacation.
More is soon to come.

Love

Klöver

Day 2:

On friday we even left Germany and spent half the day in Bregenz/Austria. Once we got there we took the sky train up to the top of the mountain Pfänder (1064m. high). From there we had an amazing view over Lake Constance, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and 240 mountain peaks (of the alps).
For some reason  hostmum thought that it is a good idea to walk down that mountain. In the beginning I thought so too but after a few hours everyones feet hurt (and the next day we all had muscle pain). But as an reward we treated ourself with some very jummy cake in downtown Bregenz. Hmmmmmmm....... :D
From there we took the train to Lindau/Germany where we spent some time. In the evening we went back to our hotel by ship/ferry.

Day 3

On saturday we first went to see some place that is called Affenberg (monkey mountain) in Salem. More than 200 Barbary macaques live freely within a forest area of 20 hectares.Specially prepared popcorn is distributed free and can be fed to the monkeys.
What of course we did. That was really fun.  :D
In the afternoon we visited the Salem Monastery and palace (Founded in 1134) which today is a school.
It also has an abby church which is very beautiful. But we were not allowed to take any photos inside.

That was quit an interessting day.

Day 5
(don't worry I didn't forget to write about day 4. We just didn't do anything on sunday. Just were lazy and relaxed).

On monday morning we took the train to the town of Konstanz. As soon as we got there we discovered that the border to Switzerland is right in town. So we hopped over there looked around (we went to a small supermarket to see if we can get some good swiss chocolate. But no luck for us) a bit and hopped back.  :D

Konstanz is is a town of great historical relevance - A walk through town is an encounter with many traces of past centuries of prosperity.
We didn't do anything special just walked around and viewed the colorful, old buildings (some of them even have paintings).

To get back to the hotel we took the bus which even drove on a ferry to take us to the other side of the lake. That was kinda strange (because we didn't expect that).

Since the weather was pretty nasty that was all we did that day.

Hi Mummy,

this is my report of day 6 at lake constance:

when we got up on Tuesday it was raining quit a bit. So hostmum decided to go to a shopping mall. But when we got there we found out that the place is rather small. That's why we were done in about an hour. But when we got out the weather was a bit better and we thought it's a good idea to do some more sightseeing.
First we drove to the basilica church of Birnau which is very pretty. But as always we weren't allowed to take any pictures inside.
From there we went to the Town of Meersburg. It has a pretty old part of the town and a huge castle. But as soon as we got there it started pouring. We walked around there anyway but not for to long.
On the way back to the hotel were two more castles that we wanted to see but since we all were already soaked we decided that's better to not go outside anymore.

And that was the last day at Lake Constance.

Have a nice sunday.

Susie's


Posted Oct 17, 2012, 8:52 pm
Hi Mummy,

I still have to tell you about our departure day from Lake Constance (sorry that I didn't write about it earlier).

On Wednesday morning we left Lake Constance to drive back to host mum's home, means looooooong car ride again.  :rolleyes:
But we didn't went directly back to Susie's hometown. We took a two hour break in the small village of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. The old part of the town is medieval and very romantic. It has those narrow alleys, beautiful buildings and a wonderful market place. But the main reason why host mum wanted to go to Rothenburg is a very special store: Käthe Wohlfahrts Weihnachtsdorf (christmas village). It sells christmas decoration all year long. And since she is obsessed with christmas (her own words) she loooooooves that store.  ;)
Unfortunately we couldn't take any picuters inside that store (it was to dark and we weren't allowed).
That store was pretty cool.  :D

Love

Hello Mama,

hostmom made some Halloween Costumes for us.  :cyclops:

I wanted a Springroll costume. But I think that there was some kind of ah uh misunderstanding.  ;)

Karlos is a classical ghost and a scottish guy.

Lancel is an easter egg and a cloud. Cloud number 9 (or was we say in Germany Wolke 7).

And little T.B. is a Pumpkin and a Santa Clause.

If you wanna see the other TV's Costumes please check the Forum because we are all paricipate in the Halloween Costumes  contest.
