Hi out there !

I arrived safe in Germany - and I am very happy to be outside the envelope again.

They are all happy to see me here - you can see two other TVs on the second photo. Carlisle arrived a few days ago and we will have a nice time together here. So I will never be alone. ;)
SunnyHH will go on a trip to Greece today - so it was great luck to meet him.
In the afternoon we will bring him to the post - then I can see some of the nature.  :rolleyes:
Viele Grüße aus Deutschland (my first words in German)
many greetings from Germany

Hi Mum,
today I exlplored the garden. The colorful bird is very funny, I think.

Then I was allowed to feed the birds outside. After that I looked at the nice little flowerd. The spring is coming in Germany.  :D

And then a nice other TV arrived. It is Polki, a friendly duck from Belgium.

Now we are three TVs here - I am sure, it will be fun.  :p

Hi Mum,

we were in Hamburg - it is the second-biggest city of Germany.

We were a little travelgroup and had a lot of fun together.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/PinkyHH/IMG_6178.jpg

That's me in front of a lake called Alster.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Miili/IMG_6180.jpg

And the trees were so beautiful. I loved them.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Miili/IMG_6176.jpg

This is the beautiful townhall of Hamburg.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Miili/IMG_6191.jpg

At the end, we visited the port with many big ships !

It is a funny day. I LOVE Easter !!!

Because we ate so many chocolate Easter Eggs, we had to do some sports. And decided to make a tour with the bike.

We stopped at a nice lake.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Miili/IMG_6268.jpg

Then we visited the village, where Rike lives.

It has a nice church...

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Miili/IMG_6269.jpg

and a beautiful old school.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Miili/IMG_6261.jpg

Springtime in Germany is great - I think, I love to be a ToyVoyager !

And I learnt a few German words today
lake : See
Church : Kirche
school : Schule

We went to Bad Segeberg. There is a big lake - and Polki wanted to meet ducks. Rike told us, that ducks are living there.

First we sat in front of a nice fountain.  Then we visited the church.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Miili/IMG_6310.jpg

After that we walked to the lake.  There is a monument of an indian - can you see it?

Hi Mum,
we started our trip to Helgoland.
Helgoland is a German island in the North Sea. Well known for the healthy air.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Miili/IMG_6610.jpg

We went there with a Caramaran, called Halunder Jet. You see me in front of it, and then all of us inside the ship. It was fun !

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Miili/IMG_6335.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Carlisle/IMG_6340.jpg

In the afternoon we made a walk on the island – to visit the famous cliffs.
On these cliffs are many birds.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Miili/IMG_6347.jpg

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Miili/IMG_6358.jpg

The one, that stands alone is called ‘lange Anna’.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Miili/IMG_6370.jpg

After the walk, we all relaxed in the sun….

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Carlisle/IMG_6381.jpg

And in the evening we relaxed at home.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Miili/IMG_6412.jpg

We have a new friend now – called BineHH. She lived on the island, but decided to become a TV, too.
http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Carlisle/IMG_6427.jpg
Then the ship came.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Miili/IMG_6435.jpg

After it we visited the city – maybe only a village, but with colorful houses.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Miili/IMG_6445.jpg

The beach is beautiful here – we saw some seals. They were very loud.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Miili/IMG_6473.jpg

The lighthouse is wonderful. What a nice day.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Miili/IMG_6488.jpg

In the evening we had a party, to welcome BineHH.

Today we had to leave Helgoland, but we had time to make a walk.
We played in a buoy.

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Carlisle/IMG_6530.jpg

In these cabins people changed their swimsuits many years ago. Can you find me on the photo?

http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu215/RikeH_2009/Miili/IMG_6534.jpg

On the way back in the Catamaran we had fun looking out of the windows. We saw ships and a nice part of Hamburg, called Blankenese. Rike told us, that the rich people live there.

Hi Mum,

today I have to leave. I will come home to you Mum, and talk about my first trip. I really loved it.

And then I will go to my next host. It is nice to be a ToyVoyager.

We had to say goodbye. Maybe I will meet one of my new friends in the future again !

I've finally arrived in Australia. :-) Not much to do today it's very overcast outside... which Sara seems to think is nice but apparently it's been very sunny, and after a very sunny and hot Summer she's finally ready to see some Autumn and Winter... oh well! I've met two other toyvoyagers, and a stay-at-home toyvoyager Sara has... well I'm going to rest for a while I'll update again soon! Miss you mom!

We all took another trip to Bathurst today and we were able to spot some kangaroos... sadly we couldn't see them very well... see how far away they are? You can just see one between the tree and the bush in the photo I'm in...
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/saragoescrazy3/toyvoyagers4/bear_kangaroos.jpg

...and here is a close up of the kangaroo in the above photo... obviously he didn't want to face the camera for the photos... maybe he's a bit camera shy?
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/saragoescrazy3/toyvoyagers4/kangaroos1.jpg

...what you're missing is Sara making noise to try to get him to turn around for the photos... finally she got him to look in our direction, sadly it didn't last long...
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/saragoescrazy3/toyvoyagers4/kangaroos2.jpg

...on the way back to the car Sara spotted two others, behind a chain link fence, so not that great of photos... but here are two others. The one on the left side is very noticeable and Sara has seen many times... he's got odd eyes... but he's quite cute isn't he? The second photo is a close up of him...

We've been driving a lot lately going out of town... and what seems like going everywhere around New South Wales for job's and a bit extra money here and there... well today we took a road trip as far South as Yasswhich is just above of the Australian capital territory... Sara's only been to this area of New South Wales a couple times...

Sadly since we were on a very tight schedule we couldn't do any sight seeing today... here are some photos of us on the main street...

...here's a better and more straight on photo of the sign...

...and lastly we got to pay our respects at the local war memorial... can you see us?
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/saragoescrazy3/toyvoyagers4/young_warmemorial1.jpg

...how about now?
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/saragoescrazy3/toyvoyagers4/young_warmemorial2.jpg

...well here's an even closer photo of us... it was very very very windy... so a few of us took flight and Sara had to catch us and put us back on there to get our photo taken...
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/saragoescrazy3/toyvoyagers4/young_warmemorial3.jpg

If you want to read what the plaque says here you go...

Lastly there was this really nice plaque on the ground, it was very pretty... it says Lest We Forget...
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/saragoescrazy3/toyvoyagers4/young_warmemorial7.jpg

One of the big reasons Sara hasn't been taking us out lately and doing updates is she's been very busy, and the change of seasons (aka a drastic change in temperature) has caused Sara to get a bit sick... along with everyone else in the area... this hasn't changed much though she's still got to be up every day, cleaning, and taking care of her husband and her son... so we've not been doing much... hoping we can do something soon...

Although in the mean time, Sara looked outside tonight, and noticed something on her car... not much by any means but what is that?
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/saragoescrazy3/toyvoyagers_snow.jpg

Snow in June? Seriously?! It still surprises Sara (since she's from Washington - safely in the NORTHERN hemisphere) haha... really early even yet for any snow... it was August before we got any snow last year. Not much though, obviously it's no blizzard, but a big thing this early in the year... it's been raining HEAPS lately! Lots of wind and rain... it's been crazy!

It's definitely been cooling down, and it'll be a cold winter in Orange I think!

Today we visited Bathurst... this time it was a bit more rushed than normal, but we still checked out one of the biggest reasons people drive all the way out West... for the Mount Panorama race track, which holds the famous Bathurst 1000 which stops the nation every October, and makes everyone in the Central West quiver with fear as there are SO many people that come from all over just to see the races... it's a mad house in October...

I got to see the now famous Peter Brock statue that was unveiled last year at the races. He died a day or two after the famous Steve Irwin died... he's famous for winning the most races at this track... he's won 9 races at this track. Tragically he died in a qualifying a few days before a race, not at this track though thankfully... although there have been a few deaths on this track sadly... and some, not human...
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/saragoescrazy3/110609/bear_statue.jpg

...Sara took us up to an over pass section just near the entrance of the track to take some photos up there... Sara's not great with heights but she did it anyways, here I am looking at the starting gate of the track... quite fancy yes?
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/saragoescrazy3/110609/bear_startinggate.jpg

...and of course I can't visit Mount Panorama without seeing the famous 'Mount Panorama' sign on the side of the mountain... apparently when they were making this sign in the 70's someone messed with the rocks that used to make up the sign and made it say a bad word... which they then published in a newspaper, quickly realizing their mistake, had to gather all the newspapers which had already been delivered before the morning. Kind of a funny story none the less... haha...
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/saragoescrazy3/110609/bear_mountpanorama.jpg

Sara found this a bit funny... when she got up there there was a tractor on the track...
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/saragoescrazy3/110609/startinggate.jpg

Finally, we got to take a ride on the track itself... if you look at the ad's on the side you can see some accidents that would have happened. Towards the end of the photos, you can see a blue sign that says "Falken" it's got a huge gash in the cement... that happened last year in a non fatal accident thankfully... and when you see the 'Holden' signs and then the drop, that's the top of the mountain that you can see from the Mount Panorama sign photo that I'm in if you look closely... :-) Anyways, here's the photos:

So now you've seen the track up close and personal, it doesn't look like much but I can promise you at the speeds they go it would be kind of scary! Especially that drop, it's quite a tight turn after the drop as well... pretty exciting... now many V8 tracks you can drive on. Funny enough, sometimes people have to drive on part of the track to get to their houses, and there's a TAFE (community college) right next to the track as well. Not to mention quite a lot of vineyards...

Sadly since the kangaroo view area that we go to is close by this area, sometimes there are kangaroos that are hit on the track while the race is going on... pretty crazy, quite a few near misses as well! Poor things!

Sadly this time we didn't see any kangaroos when we went and searched for them! Ah well! Write again soon mom! Miss you!
