Hi folks! Now I'm living in the middle of Germany, but I wanted to show you where my adoptive mother found me: Helgoland, the wonderful island in the North Sea.  :rolleyes:

I hope you can help me completing my missions by taking me with you on your adventures!  ;)

Till then... I keep my fingers crossed! :)

Hi Mum!
I arrived safe at my first hosts home today! I was greeted by my hosts TV B.o.B. and two other Toy Guinea Pigs! They are all very nice. And one of them seems to be my twin!(Picture 4) :D
I also took a look at the home of the 7 real guinea pigs.
I will write you more soon!

Hi Mum!

Today I helped my hosts to prepare the evening meal for their guinea pigs and also gave them some food myself. Of course I couldn´t resist and ate some of the vegetables! :p

Hey Mum!

Today I helped my host to fix her car. Yesterday we wanted to go to the supermarket but the battery from her car was flat, so we had to charge it. This morning we put the battery back in the car and now it runs again! :D
We made a short trip through the village and the neighbouring village.
At first I sat in her bag but I couldn´t see much and decided to climb up to the window. I met some very nice Tigers there. They live in the car and together with the one on the rear shelf (sorry, no photo from him) they protect the car! :p

Hello!

Yesterday I went with my Hostdad and the TV B.o.B. into the Hardtwald. It´s a forest belonging to Stotzheim and in the middle of it is the Hardtburg, an ancient castle. It was pretty cold and it was about to get dark outside so we could not stay there for long but my Hosts promised me that we will visit the forest again soon! :D

Hi Mum!

My host and I went for a walk through Stotzheim to show you how it looks here. It´s a small village and right know they build a new supermarket here. Because of that we couldn´t visit all interesting places here as the mainstreet is partly closed to traffic. But despite of that I enjoyed the walk very much! After the walk we visited my hosts sister and I coludn´t resist and asked to get photos of me and B.o.B. sitting on two real VW Käfer. B)

Hay Mum!

Today I helped cleaning the home from the guinea pigs. It was pretty hard work and it took us about 2 hours but we also had a lot of fun.
Unfortunately the Piggys have been very shy today and don´t really liked being photographed. I will try to get some better photos with them next time.
But I can already give you a little introduction to the other Piggys.
Group 1:
Jaques (white)
Cheesy (Black & Brown)
Mupfel (3 colours. Black face)
Ruki (3 colours. White and brown face)
Group 2:
Michael "Mikey" Poulsen (Black)
Luzy (3 colours)
Mary-Ann (Brown /goldagouti)

Today we have visited Cologne! We started in Euskirchen and went with the train to Cologne central station. We visited the Cologne Cathedral, the christmas market, met some street artist and went through the city to the "Heumarkt" and into a Tattoo & Piercingstudio.
Unfortunately we couldn´t make much photos at the christmas market and in the city because there were so many people! Everyone is going crazy because the pre-Christmas period has started! ;)
Afterwards we drove back home with the car from Euskirchen station.

Back from Cologne we started with the christmas decoration! I´m very excited because everything looks so different now. The photos with the decoration are pretty dark but I hope you can find me on them. I´m wearing a Santa hat! B)

Today we visited the Hardtwald again! But before we went into the forest we went to a horse stable close to the forest were my hostmom used to go riding. B.o.B. and I had a lot of fun and after we visited the castle again we didn´t walked straight home. We took a walk through another village and finally walked back home over the fields. In the village we saw an old well and some ancient agricultural equipment.
After 3 hours long, cold and rainy walk we arrived back home and warmed us up with some hot chocolate! :p

Hey Mum!

You won´t believe it! I became a St. Nicholas Day´s present! :D
Yesterday evening my hosts gave B.o.B. and me a pair of shoes we placed them in front of the apartment door and this morning each of us had a chocolate Santa in his shoe! I´m so happy!
But now we have to get ready for our trip to cologne today!

Hey!

We went to cologne again! This time we visited the Hard Rock Cafe where we had a fantastic lunch! Afterwards we went to the Tattoo & Piercingstudio again because my hosts got new tattoo´s. That was very interesting and loud!^^
Unfortunately we got home very late and I couldn´t start my journey back home today. So I will stay here a day longer.

Hey Mum!

I said goodbye to my hosts and new toyfriends today. My hosts gave me a little self-made friendship bracelet wich I wear around my neck.
I´m a bit sad that I have to leave but I´m also so happy to come home and see you again! I have to tell you a lot! :p
See you soon!

I am in Africa ! A dream come true !
This morning, I visited a cockerel. I thought it would be afraid of me but... not at all.
Then, in the afternoon, you will never guess what I did ! Look at the photo. Believe it or not, I really crossed that bridge ! Not alone of course, I received some help from poissonrouge.
Two other toy voyagers did it too : Roary and Wolley. I don't know if they will mention that.

I loved this day : a lot of grass !
I climbed a big mountain. There was a lot of grass called "elephant grass", because it is so high that an elephant could hide inside.

This is a pig.
This pig is in Guinea.
Poissonrouge thinks it's a guineapig.
I don't think so...

A waterfall, a bridge, and huge roots. This is what I saw today. That all was kilometers away in the bush. It was a great trip !
poissonrouge

Nothing special today, so I want to show you the well. It is quite useful now, because the dry season has begun.
poissonrouge

Happy Christmas !
Today, we first noticed that there was tap water ! A good thing on a celebration day.
Then, we received new clothes, like everyone for Christmas.
After that, someone told us that there was diesel oil in town. We hurried, but we were too late : the truck just before us received the last drops.
So we went to church (late...). There was a lot of singing, and then the pastor spoke about the birth of Jesus, and then we ate a lot of rice all together : that is 747 people.
Next week, I will probably not be online : we are travelling in an area without Internet. So have a happy new year !

Uups... You can never be sure of anything in Guinea. We tried to go to Macenta, but the car had a serious breakdown... Back to town, we were told that "the cale was stuck". It does not mean anything... But anyway, the cale or anywhat is not stuck anymore, and we will try again tomorrow !
poissonrouge


Posted Dec 28, 2011, 4:59 pm
We made it !
I am in Macenta now, a beautiful town in the forest area. Since I am here, I have been discovering the outside : a lot of trees and flowers, of course.
poissonrouge


Posted Dec 28, 2011, 5:20 pm
This morning, we visited a missionary hospital.
Then we headed south. Look at these trees, they are huge !
At noon, we stopped to eat rice with sweet potatoes leaves. It was yummy.
Tomorrow, we are going to... you will never guess !
poissonrouge


Posted Dec 29, 2011, 4:59 pm
Did you guess ? Of course, you did not... We went to Bossou, to watch the chimpanzees. I don't have a photo of me and the monkeys, it was already very difficult to photograph them : they are always moving, and you can't use the flash. Anyway, I was really there and I really saw the chimpanzees. It was fantastic !

We played a very difficult game : Old McDonald had a farm, and on his farm he had some cows, dogs, cats, chickens, milk and eggs. Putting them all in his yard is not easy. The dos annoy the cats and chickens. The chickens are afraid of the cats and stay away from the fence because of the foxes. The cows, dogs and cats may break the eggs, whereas the cats and dogs may drink the milk. The milk and eggs should not be left near the fence (they might be stolen), and the cows and chickens are too noisy and cannot stay near the house.
Can you help Old McDonald arrange his yard in peace and harmony ?
No, I can't...

There are two places I loved on the way back home : the iron bridge, and the place where the bad road begins !

One of those cocoa fruits is different, don't you think ?...
If you want to know what we did with these, have a look at Roary and Wolley.

Poissonrouge's sister has her birthday today. We baked a pineapple cake !

Today was the last day together in Kissidougou with Roary, Wolley, and Das Schweinchen. We will be continuing our trips with other hosts soon.
So we played hide and seek one last time. I hid in the flowers, but it was not a good place. Roary has much better ideas !
poissonrouge


Posted Jan 6, 2012, 2:13 pm
I am back in Conakry ! I travelled with Roary, Wolley, and poissonrouge's sister. Tomorrow, we will be flying to Switzerland. Then, poissonrouge's sister will probably update the travelog a few times, and then I will start another adventure.

I visited some friends in Switzerland. I look like Tetris, but have a lot of pleasure to play with the others too. Now, I'm going to return in Germany.

Hi Mummy,
finally I arrived in Berlin after my great trip to Africa.
As I looked out of my envelope I was welcomed by my host Marie and another tv! It is the polar bear Knut from Germany. He is a nice guy and so we became friends very fast :).
But I saw even more and I could not believe my eyes: A nice cage for guinea pigs :D. Immediately I went there to eat a bit hey. Then QuamQuam (brown) and Klea (black), the two guinea pigs which live here welcomed me, too. Fortunately they allowed me to eat with them ;).
I'm looking forward to my adventures here.
Greetings

To cheer me up Marie bought a Bubble Tea for me and the world was okay again ;)

Hi Mum,
a new tv arrived today: Mandy Sheep. She also comes from Germany.
Together we explored Marie's flat. Look at the nice picture on the calendar. It reminds me of Africa...
Bye for now

Heyho!
Guess what I did today: I made marshmallows :D!
Mandy Sheep and Marie helped me, of course. We needed MANY ingredients: Sugar, flour, water, gelatine, starch, cooking oil, ... .
I helped with the gelatine. I loved the red color :) And I had another job: I mixed the egg white until it became mousse and we could take it for the marshmallows.
When the marshmallow-mush was ready we took the knife and turned it into nice little marshmallows. They look so good and taste even better ;).
Greetings

Today was a wonderful spring day (22°C!!) :D
It was perfect for making a sightseeing tour.
So we went to "Alexanderplatz", a big place with many people. There I saw the "Weltzeituhr". It's a clock on which you can see what time it is world wide and it's also a famous meeting point. We went on to the "Fernsehturm". Oh Mummy, it is soooooooo high, look :o! We also saw the "Marienkirche", one of the oldest chirches in Berlin. I think it looks very nice. Soon we came to the "Spree" and as we turned around we saw the "Berliner Dom" which looked very impressive.
Although we saw so many sights already we didn't want to go home because it was such a nice day :). So we took the bus and went on to see the "Siegessäule", the "Schloss Bellevue" and the "Reichstag".
But my highlight was to see the "Brandenburger Tor". It marks the border between east- and west Berlin. I even went through it! :D
After seein so many things we were all very tired and went back home.
As you can see I had a nice day. I hope your day was as nice (and warm ;) ) as mine, Mummy.
I LOVE YOU
Das Schweinchen

Hi Mummy,
today I had to say goodbye to Mandy Sheep and Marie because you wanted me to come home to go skiing with you. I am sad that I already have to leave but I'm also really looking forward to my next adventure with you  :cyclops:.
Anyway, Mandy Sheep and I had a little farewell party. We drank tea and talked a bit. When it was time to go Mandy Sheep gave me a goodbye kiss, I was so happy :D :D. Then she helped me to get into my envelope.

Hey folks!

Today we arrived in Oberstdorf and tomorrow will be my first time I go skiing! :D There will be much more snow in the mountains than in the valley where our hotel is located...

In the evening we had our dinner at the "Dampfbierbrauerei", it was so so delicous!!! (But afterwards I couldn't move for a while, I had the feeling to weigh the triple of my original me...)

Later on we got a little goofy... :p

See you soon

Today we went to the little harbour...
I really liked the place on the little boat but I didn't feel very comfortable in that cannon...  :(

Later that day we went to the beach again and had a delicous meal at a little restaurant placed right alongside the beach!
Sometimes small planes passed by due to the mini airport on the island...! ;) That was cool! :p

And can you see me at the ladder to the lighthouse?  :p
