Travelog for: Willy W.

Hello everybody,
I'm Willy W., the red craftsman. My mentor thought I'd be a cute little guy from a comic but I'm the mascot of a famous German complany that produces tools.

Have a look at my former workplace. You can see me in the lower right corner, sitting in a shopping trolley.

Now I'm sitting on the desk waiting for my first destination. My Mummy says that there already someone would be ready to host me. I'm so exited to start travelling

Hello,
I'm on my way to Hungary now.

Willy W.

Hello from Hungary!!!
Today I had a great day because we went for a walk to Lillafüred which is a nice part of the city. I loved walking thru the forest along the lake!
Unfortunately it started to rain, but it had a special feeling of that cloudy weather!

Today it's Halloween!!! However in Hungary there are different traditions. Yesterday was "All saints day" and today is the day of "Dead people". It's not really about parties, it's about memories...
But as Szandra loves also the traditions of Halloween, we cut out a pumpkin!

It was a lot of fun to spend my time with the pets around the house!
Let me introduce them!
On the first few pics you can see 2 dogs, Ali and Bandi. They are full with energy and they're always running and playing...Wow, I just love them!
Than comes Karcsi, the cat. Well, not a friendly man with me...:P
I visited also the rabbits. I loved their big home where they can run a lot! Unfortunately one of them, Alma is ill now and he can't be with the others. He spends the nights inside.

Later I went to look around in the garden.
Guess, what did I find?! The 7 gnome! Didn't want to miss making some photos with them!
After they didn't want to play with me I was really dissapointed and I climbed up a tree!  When I forgot about that incident with the gnomes, I set down and tried to find the goldfishes in the garden lake.

Today I learnt to play tennis!!!!
Szandra is a tennis instructor and she said I was a talented student!

We travelled to the capital, Budapest by train. Usually Szandra spends the half week there because of her studies.

When I went out to the teracce I was very surprised because I didn't expect for green teracce with a lot of plants.
And I realised immediately some small pumpkins!
After I saw some runner beans I walked round the teracce and ejoyed the sunshine.
When I got tired, we went inside and Szandra shew me her collection about her favourite band, t.A.T.u.! She has lots of CD!

Later I helped to make her homework. She is studying in an art school in stylist department and her homework was to make a roll of paper with the clothes of every era. Wasn't easy, but we did!!

A bad day...
We got a call from Szandra's mother... with very sad news.
Billy and Pali, the two pet rats were died. They had a routine spay operation and it seemed everything went well, they were already at home. But suddenly both of them died.
We couldn't believe this...
After that we didn't go for sight-seeing, sorry.
Maybe next week.

After we got the bad news, on the next day we travelled back to Miskolc. Szandra wanted to lay her little rats to rest! She loved them very much and I saw, that it was very hard for her saying good-bye to them. I was sad too...

As Szandra still wasn't in a good mood, I found out to help her with cooking some cakes. I hoped, this will make her happy! And my idea was succesful, because I saw a little smile on her face! And the cookies were tasty! Yummy!

Szandra had to buy some things, so I could see the Main Street of Miskolc.





Behind me it's the Erzsébet Square and on the backstage you can see the Gothic Protestant Church of Avas.

We went to see an exhibition, called "Fashion and tradition".
It was a school exercise for Szandra to go there and take photos.
On some pictures you can see me too, but unfortunately the quality of these are not so good.

It was rather cold outside, but we decided to make a little trip and see some of the main sights of Budapest. There wasn't many people on the streets, everything was so calm.We spent a nice Sunday afternoon!
We started with the Vajdahunyad Castle. I have already learnd some things about it...
It was built between I896 and 1908 and derived its name from the wing facing the lake, which is an imitation of the Castle of Vajdahunyad in Transylvania.
There is a nice park around the castle, we walked thru it and saw also the lake which was a little dry now...:P But Szandra said that usually it's much nicer!

















Inside the castle there is the Museum of Agricolture.

It would be nice to sit in the warm water, but we saw the Széchenyi Thermal Bath only from inside.





On the opposite side of the bath, I found a little fountain.
