Hi all!
I'm Hollandia, a cute stay-at-home ToyVoyager. I'd love to meet and greet new TV's and show them my wonderful hometown. When I've met at least 100 TV's, I will go off and travel on my own.

Big hug,

Hollandia, your friendly hostess

So this is where I come from: a big department store in Delft. You can see me with my brothers and sisters. I'm the one trying to escape.

Hi everyone!
Today I showed my friends a less known part of Delft. It's north from the center.
We started at windmill "The Rose", the only surviving windmill of Delft. It was built in the 17th century.
A few years ago the windmill was lifted 1 meter off the ground. That was necessary for the building of a tunnel beneath the windmill. When the work is done, the windmill will be replaced at it's original spot.

In the sixties the drinking water in Delft was bad. The city council provided the inhabitants with fresh drinking water of a good quality. Outof gratitude the inhabitants donated this monument to the city of Delft.

We visit a mysterious grave...

"Here rests Louis XVII" it says on the tombstone. But that's not true! Karl Naundorff is buried here. He was an imposter who claimed he was Louis XVII. If you like to know more about this mysterious man, please follow this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Wilhelm_Naundorff

We come across the statue for former Queen Wilhelmina. She reigned during the second World War and she was the great-grandmother of King Willem Alexander.

We rest on a bench, dedicated to Prof. Huet. He was a teacher at the Polytechnical School. Why he was honored with this bench, is unknown. Maybe he was just a popular teacher!He has a nice beard, anyway!

Hi, here I am again after a long time! I welcomed a new TV. It's Suny a cute little monkey. I showed her around the city center of Delft. But we didn't stay long, because it was a very cold day.

We are together to say goodbye to Suny. She's been a lovely guest. Now she's going to Beijing! How exciting! Bye, bye, little monkey! Have a safe trip.
Emjay

On the same day we said goodbye to Dille. She also goes on a long journey: to Russia. Bye, little one! Keep in touch, otherwise your big sister will be worried.
Emjay

Oof, what an emotional day: saying goodbye to two TV's! But at the same day a new TV arrived! It is Aaron. Gozer had the honor to open the envelope.
"Welcome to Delft, Aaron," I said. But he didn't pay attention. He only had eyes for Minnilotta  :rolleyes:! Anyway, he seems like a nice fellow.
Emjay

Long time no see!

I'm welcoming another TV to Emjay's home. Her name is Hanne Hü. There were stickers on the envelope. So I stuck one to my nose.  :p

As always we have a little party with all TV's in the house. Late at night I show Hanne her bed.

Today a package arrived. We opened it together and two legs came out. Hanne pulled them. It looked like a delivery! And... it's a girl! She's called Annie. Emjay adopted her from the Fostercare Home.

Today Indigo arrived. Although he's named after a blue colour, he looks dressed in red to me! I hope a few of his life mission will be fulfilled. Indigo is the 16th TV I welcomed to the Netherlands.
