Travelog for: Sausi Karl

Hi mum
it's me again. A new TV has arrived.





A little rat named Twix.



He was still a bit sleepy when we took him this morning from its cover. We welcomed him kindly





and gave him a group hug.



As the big cat greeted him, he got the shock of his life.



But he has recovered. I think we will have lots of fun with him.

Bye

Hello mum,
on Friday have been something special for dinner. Cheese Fondue!



With long forks we were allowed to stir in the hot cheese.





It was fun and tasted very, very good.



Best regards, Sausi Karl

Hi mum,
Yesterday we made a trip to Klosters and Davos. The weather was cloudy and cold. We needed something to warm up. Thick skin and hot coffee was the right thing.



Klosters is a small village



with hotels, hotels, hotels. Some pretty, some not. Then we drove on to Davos, the highest town in Europe. Host mum finds Davos ugly. Too many ugly buildings in this wonderful scene. This is the main street of Davos.



Here you see the convention center.



It annually hosts the World Economic Forum. This is the ice hockey stadium.



Every year between Christmas and New Year, the Spengler Cup is played.

Here we pose in front of the Hilton hotel.



The most beautiful thing we saw in Davos was a small lake.





And the police car in which I was allowed to sit down.









Because we all wanted to see the snow, host dad drove to the Flüela Pass.



You can see how high it is?



The snow was very close, but it melts during the day.



It's still a bit too warm.



Whoa, too warm. It was 3 degrees. The pass looks like a moonscape.



Only stones and boulders fields.













Slightly lower down, we saw the most beautiful larch forests.









Golden Autumn. This newly built bridge



took us back home.

Hope you are well, miss you

Sorry for so much fingers, host mum has a new camera, she is learning.

Hello mum,
Today we were in Quinten,



a small village on the northern shore of  Walensee. This really small village (about 60 people) can only be reached by boat or on foot.
We took the boat.













Due to its special location Quinten has an almost Mediterranean climate.



Besides wine,



there grow palms



and figs.









I found a snake.



The Foehn wind blew very strong, almost 70 kilometers per hour.



By the wind, it was very warm. Was it yesterday, 10 degrees in the afternoon, we had 26 today.





The distant view was wonderful.









We have enjoyed this afternoon.






Hugs and kisses

Hi mum,
Yesterday we drove to Schwägalp.









This pass is 1300 meters high and is located at the foot of the Säntis. First we admired a old coach.





A special trip for great TV's.



How funny. At 2,502.9 meters above sea level, Säntis is the tallest mountain in the Alpstein massif of northeastern Switzerland. The mountain is a highly visible landmark thanks to its exposed northerly location within the Alpstein massif.





The panorama from the summit is spectacular. Six countries can be seen if the weather allows: Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, France, and Italy. By a cable car you can reach the top.



The so-called Säntismord (English: Säntismurder) happened in the winter of 1922. It refers to a crime in which the weather station keeper and his wife were murdered. The murder was only discovered because of missing weather reports on February 21. As a result of the missing reports, a search party was sent to Säntis, where they discovered the bodies. The prime suspect was shoemaker Gregor Anton Kreuzpointer, who committed suicide three weeks after the murder. The truth about this double murder hence remains unclear to this day. So creepy.  As we sat on the rocks came a jackdaw and wanted to get Twix. Host dad could still save him.









Schwägalp is also very popular with motorcyclists. As you can see here.



On our way home



we discovered an old stagecoach.





For special occasions, it runs today.





It is pulled by 4 horses. A hot air balloon, we have also seen.



It was a wonderful day.

Hello all at home,

Our last trip was to the Principality of Lichtenstein.







In Vaduz, the capital, we saw the town hall.



It was built in 1932/33. The castle was built in the 13th Century and serves as the residence of the royal family.



Therefore it can not be visited. We saw a miniature of the castle.



The Principality is also very famous for its stamps. In the pedestrian zone known examples are shown for road paving. Here you see the special stamp in honor of the wedding of the crown prince.



Lichtenstein is also known for its banks. Here is the National Bank.



This building is home to the parliament.





On our way home we had a great view over the Rhine Valley.



Best regards
Sausi Karl

Hi all,
When we woke up this morning our host mum said we should look out the window.





Snow! Over night snow had fallen and it still snows. We immediately put on our hats and scarves and went out onto the balcony.



What a beauty.



Meomie has never seen snow. She was almost mad with joy. After we played a few times in the snow,





our host mum called back to the apartment. They pulled us out of the wet clothes and grabbed us in a warm blanket.





Was that a fun.

Kisses, Sausi Karl

Hi mum,
Today is Halloween and I have worked hard the last few days. Pumpkin carving was not so easy. And my costume for tonight, I had to make yet. I'll show you, but not tell anyone, it's a surprise.




I'm ready for trick or treat, let's go.

Sausi Karl

Hello mum,
we had a great Halloween night. When it was dark we put on our costumes and headed off. Trick or Treat. We saw spooky pumpkins and other scary creatures.







We rang at many doors, and anywhere we got sweets.













Today we can swim in it.



I love Halloween!

Sweet greetings
Sausi Karl

Hi mum,

Today I had to say goodbye to my friends. My journey continues to Vienna to Carolin's mum. As a farewell host mum has baked cookies.



They were wonderful.



I ate quite a lot. You never know when there is something to eat again. All hugged me and wished me a good trip.



My jacket is comfortable and host mum gave me sweets,



for bad times.

Goodbye Switzerland, it was very nice here.



Hello Vienna, Sausi Karl is coming.

Much love back home, see you
Sausi Karl

Hi Mum!

I`ve arrived at Vienna. It`s very cold here. I like it here.
They are all very friendly and nice to me.

The cowbell I brought grinsekatze. The sweets I have eaten on the way. Hope she will not be sad about it.

I`ve got a hot chocolate and a warm welcome.


Here are also: TV-TV + Gina+Karotti + LittleNurseNicl + LittleDragon + Violet-Marie + Hupfi + Frank the Mops + Aaron + Melek!






When I have more photos I post it here.

I miss you mum!

Today I was with Violet Marie and TV-TV at the Weihnachtsmarkt in the 12th District.

Today we were at the Christkindlmarkt in Schönbrunn.
It was so great.


Look at the photos Violet Marie + TV-TV + LittleNurseNicl and I had a great time.

Hello from Bruchsal,

I just arrived in a big package together with some other toyvoyagers. I'm close to my home now, because Bruchsal is only about 20 km from Karlsruhe. So now I'm looking forward to some updates here and then I'm curious, where I will go next.

Bye, Sausi Karl

The weather here is more than terrible. Most of the time it is raining and if it isn't, it surely the sky is grey.

So we had been very happy today, when we looked out of the window and saw the blue sky with sunshine. We decided to go on a walk to the river Saalbach, which flows through Bruchsal.

Here we took a photo of a restaurant, which has a nice beer garden.




Close to the river, which is on the right side of this photo, we saw this nice house.




We were still standing at the same place, when we took the photo of the river Saalbach.




Then we walked along the river.






Bruchsal is called Barockstadt, because there is a beautiful baroque castle and baroque church. Bruchsal and its suburbs have 5 partner cities. One of them you maybe know, when you read the Twilight series. It is Volterra.




We walked along the river again. You can see the tower of the old slaughterhouse, where nowadays is a restaurant and more.




When we took the first photo of the other house and the river, we had been standing in front of this nice house.




This small bridge led us on a small isle, where we walked between two arms of the Saalbach.




From here we took the photo of the baroque church St. Peter.




On our way home we had to walk over this bridge, which is called Nepomukbrücke.
