Travelog for: Kit-Kat

Hi! I'm Kit-Kat. My ToyVoyager tag arrived today, and now I can finally become a ToyVoyager. If you want to host me, please PM my mentor, rabbits.

Dear Mum

Just a quick note to tell you that I had a fast journey and arrived safely in Heidelberg. More in the next couple of days.

Yours,
Kit-Kat

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.



We came to the Old Bridge.



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



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



Still on the Old Bridge:



We left the Old Bridge through this gate:



Me and the Bridge Monkey:



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.



All the best from Kit-Kit.

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.







Keep fine,
Kit-Kat

Dear Mum

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



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.



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



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









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





After a short rest we continued exploring the city.









This is the Town Hall.



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





Then we walked along the wall.









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





Love,
Kit-Kat

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.







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



We also saw this rather strange looking scupture:



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



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



We climbed up to the fortress which is very impressive.







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



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.

Kit-Kat.

Dear Mum

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.





Keep fine,
Kit-Kat

Hello Mum

One of my host's new TV's, Lola Rabbit is leaving us today. She will travel to the north of Italy.



Bye,
Kit-Kat

Dear Mum

When nuriayasmin returned home from the post-office, she held an envelope in her hand: Another ToyVoyager had arrived. It's a cute coloured rhino called Tamina.





She had brought a beautiful cat postcard as a gift for nuriayasmin with her which we all admired.



Bye,
Kit-Kat

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.



















Lots of love,
Kit-Kat

Dear Muim

Today Ohkwari left us for France. We all told her good-bye and wished her a good journey.

Kit-Kat

Dear Mum

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.


The Martin Luther/Reformation Memorial


The Cathedral


Remains of the wall which once encircled the city


One of the dragon statues which can be found all over the city, with the river Rhine in the background.

Kit-Kat

Dear Mum

This morning we said good-bye to Voi Nam who will travel the European Toy Voyager Trail. His first host lives in Italy.







Then all TV's accompanied nuriayasmin to Mannheim where she had to do some things. It's situated about 20 km away from Heidelberg. We passed the palace which is nowadays a museum and home of the university.



Then we took a walk along the river Rhine. Just for an hour because it was rather cold and windy.















Lots of love,
Kit-Kat

Dear Mum

Today nuriayasmin's daughter had her wisdom teeth extracted. It took about an hour and as we weren't allowed to enter the operating theater, we spent some time at the Botanical Garden which is situated close to the clinic. We saw some interesting and beautiful plants and flowers. Hope you like my pictures, mum.















Greetings from Kit-Kat.

Dear Mum

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.







Keep fine,
Kit-Kat
