Travelog for: Slummy

Hello,
my name is Slummy, I am a birthday present to olgamaus' 13 year old nephew Dominik.

Dominik already met some of olgamaus' furry guests and likes travelling toys. I would like to travel for about a year and than return home to Dominik.

I already have an invitation from a nice lady in Northern Germany, I will go there in about two weeks. Until than I will do some sightseeing here in Northrhine-Westphalia.

I'm sitting in olgamaus' kitchen window now, enjoying the sun.



I also took a look out of the roof-light, from here you have a great outlook to the city hall and the water tower.



I'll meet Dominik in the evening.

Bye
Slummy


My itinerary:

RikeH in Sülfeld
katimausi in Gütersloh

Dear Dominik,
today Alex and Katja met in town to have lunch together. I'm sure you already know the city hall but it was simply looking beautiful with the sunny weather.





We had lunch in this Chinese restaurant.



Afterwards we walked home along the Werkzeugtrasse (Route of Tools), which is a lane for pedestrians and cyclists, built on a closed railway track. It is about 4,5 km long and is connecting the central station with the district Hasten. The bilding activities were sponsored by local tool producing companies.



This old wall is partly overgrown with little flowers and foliage plants.



Do you also know this piece of artwork, situated behind the "Kraftstation"? Is is made of the rejects of punched metal parts, later painted by children.



Here you can sit down for a while.



Here are signs of some of the sponsoring companies.







You can also find dilapidated factory buildings.





We rested on this hanger for a while.



I can see this church from Katja's living room window.

Dear Dominik,

today we wanted to visit a flea market in the city, but we were a little bit late, the sellers were already clearing their stalls. We did not buy anything but two cute .... guess what? Yes, we rescued two prospective ToyVoyagers.

We took a walk through the city instead because the sun was shining to nice. This time we walked through residental areas in Steinberg.

Here we are in Wilhelm street.





Here we are at Steinberg, I had walk uphill.



From here you have a fantastic overview to the outskirts of Remscheid and to those of the neighbour city Wuppertal.



We are now standing in an allotment garden area. From here you have an even better overview.



So much green around!







This is the new built rear side of the shopping mall and the tower of the city hall in the background.



Tomorrow we will visit the flea market in the late morning.

Dear Dominik,

Dear Dominik,

Good bye
Slummy

Hello Dominik,

today I arrived at Rikes home - she just came back from a cruise - and 4 TVs travelled with her.

So they said hello to me - and told me a lot of interesting things about the cruise. I would love to do that, too. 



Then I looked around the living-room. I am sure, that the flowers are for me.



And I love to play with this funny hippo !!!



Bye for now
Slummy

Hi Dominik,

RikeH showed us two nice buildings in Sülfeld
The first one is the old school....


the second one is the church – as you already mentioned, I think.



When we came back, we played in the garden. We made a race – and I won. I hope, that you are proud of me!!!





At the end, we played hide-and-seek, can you see me?
It is so funny, to play with the other TVs!!!

Hello Dominik,

today we drove to Hamburg – Germany’s second largest city. The weather wasn’t that good, but there was no rain. So, we are ready to go !



You can see me in front of the town hall – a beautiful building. Next to it, there are swans – nice birds, but VERY big. Then there is just another view of the town hall.








This it the Alster – a nice lake in the centre of Hamburg. There is a nice fountain on it – and small boats make trips over the lake.






When we went into one shop, we saw this funny family. We were told, that they are film stars – and many people know them.



It was a nice day.

Yours
Slummy

Hi Dominik,

because Penny will leave tomorrow, we had a nice party. So we ate a lot of cakes and muffins –
it was wonderful.

Today we made a nice walk around Sülfeld. This is a cornfield, but the plants are really small now. Rike told us, that they will be much bigger in a few days. Maybe we can come again – and see it then.



We found a little bridge over a small river. There were nice views in both directions.





After the long walk we had a rest in the sun – and talked a lot. Do you know, that ToyVoyager can talk together, although they come from different countries. I think, that we have our own language.






At the end of our walk we saw this giant new green tractor. I wanted a picture with it – and here it is !

This week-end we were lazy at home. We decided to explore the house and find some interesting things. First these wonderful flowers!



After it I tried to call you, but I didn’t know your number…


Then we found these strange things- Rike told us, that they were used for horses, which worked on farms. But we didn’t see any horses here.





At the end I played the trumpet – okay – it is not a trumpet. Who knows, what kind of instrument it is, can send us a PM….. Now I will play it, so Rike cannot sleep – it is so funny to be a ToyVoyager.

Hello Dominik !

We went to Bad Segeberg – a nice small town with a very nice lake. Here are the Karl-May-Festivals – great fun. First we saw the church and next to it a beautiful big tree.






Behind me is a monument for the festival – I love it !


Then we walked around the lake – we saw some ducks – and loved the different views over the lake!










After the long walk we enjoyed to sit in the nature. A great day !



Hugs Slummy

Hi Dominik !
       
Today was Bree’s last day at Rike’s home, so Rike asked Bree, what she would love to do.
She wished to go onto the playground and have a nice time there.










Then it was time to say good-bye to Bree. We sat together in the lovely flowers. And especially dicker Kumpel hugged her !




I am so happy, that I can stay here for more days.
Love
Slummy

Hi Dominik,

Milala and Ninni  arrived at Rike’s home today – and there were me, dicker Kumpel and Murph waiting for them!



Especially dicker Kumpel was so happy to see Ninni, one of his missions is it to welcome 5 other bunnies – and she is the first one.



We all will go on a cruise on the River Danube, there is very high water at the moment – so it will be an adventure!!!

Because we are nice TVs, we tried to help Rike to pack the bags.



We decided that long hippo and blue hippo should come with us.


Rike wasn’t that lucky with our idea, so we decided to need some games…



Help, what is that? Rike told us something, like – you are not really helpful - and put us in this nice basket…



…and now????  She had a strange smile in her face and brought us in the garden...





Well, we cannot help her now – but because we are ToyVoyagers, we will start Because we are nice TVs, we tried to help Rike to pack the bags.

Hi Dominik !

We started our tour in Passau. We explored the wonderful city and started with the Passauer Dom.



Then we saw this lovely fountain with the beautiful building.



Over the Danube we saw the Veste Oberhaus on the hill – it has a very long wall.



Do you know, that the Danube is the second longest river of Europe? And I will make a cruise on it – it is amazing !!!
