Travelog for: Chrissi

Hello everyone out there,

I am Chrissi. I was called like this because of the friend who gave me to my mummy. I was a birthday present and they said: "You can use it for ToyVoyagers, can't you?" So here I am.

I really would love to travel the world and show my mummy and her friend Chrissi all my adventures.

Please let mummy know when you want to host me. She is waiting for your messages.

Love,
Chrissi

Hey,

Today I was allowed to go to a concert with my mum. It was a concert of a band of a friend of mummy. The band is called Smokin Aces. And mum can even sing all the lyrics of them.





The right guitar guy with the microphone is a friend of mum. It was a lot of fun and I hope I can join mum more often now.

Love,
Chrissi

Hello,

Today we went to the coal mine complex Zollverein which is an UNESCO WHS. We had a lot of fun while jumping around on an old wheel.


Can you see me? No?




Here I am!

There was a miniature complex as a card. So you were able to see where you are and where you want to go. We made a picture with the tower of coal mine Zollverein.



And as we wanted to see the real tower as well, we went there.





That was a lot of fun. I really liked it there.

Love,
Chrissi

Hey,

it was such a nice weather today, that we decided to drive to Witten and have a walk at the Hohenstein. There is a memorial place called Berger-Denkmal. It was built as a memorial for Louis Constans Berger. He was one of the founders of Witten.

Here you see the tower, which was built for Louis Constans Berger.





You have a really great view over the Ruhr valley from there.





Here the tower from the other side.





We found an overview map of the view.






And then we made a group picture.





It was a nice day and I really enjoyed it.

Love,
Chrissi

Hello,

Hey,

today we watched a lot TV. Fabi said something big will happen today and we should watch it. We were all excited and then Fabi told us what we will see live in TV.

The last landing of the Discovery.

Wow, this is a big thing, isn’t it? They said in TV it is a big step for the space travel in America. So we were all excited.

And then they showed the Discovery which was over Florida.





Everyone came to watch it.







Then they showed how it looks from the Discovery itself.



Can you see the clouds?

We were all excited.







It is coming closer.







And then: THE LANDING.





















It was a nice time in front of the TV. We watched some kind of history. Really cool.

Love,
Chrissi

Hey,

today we welcomed Herlinde here. She is a really nice dragon. The photo is not so good, but Fabi promised to make better ones later.



Love,
Chrissi

Today Fabi decided to have a walk with us in Herten. You know, she has the guest Herlinde and she is a dragon. So Fabi wanted to show us another dragon near her hometown Essen. We didn’t know what will be waiting there for us, so we were all excited to meet a dragon.



And then we arrived. It was a bridge. A dragon bridge. Wow. Really amazing. What do you think?



Love,
Chrissi

Hey,

Today we visited castle Hugenpoet. It is a hotel and a restaurant. Fabi wasn’t able to go inside, as there was a big private party, but we had a look at it from the outside. It was really cool. But have a look at the photo.



It was a nice day and I hope we will visit a lot more nice places in the future.

Love,
Chrissi

Hey,

today we met some famous persons. I was so excited. Fabi said we will go to Madame Tussauds and that there are a lot famous persons. We weren’t able to make much photos, as it was so crowded there, but we made two group pictures.

Here we go.

First we met Anne Frank. Her diary of the Second World War was published. Every child here in Germany reads it in school, normally. Did you read the book?



Later Fabi said she will be a politician now. We were all excited and asked to join her. So she allowed us and we did. We had a speech with Angela Merkel, the chancellor of Germany.





It was really great there. I really wish I could have seen more.

Love,
Chrissi

Hey,

This photo is from the Berlin cathedral. The Berlin Cathedral had never been a cathedral in the actual sense of that term since it has never been the seat of a bishop.

Right from it you can see the “Alex”. The television tower of Berlin.



That was a long walk and a long day was over then. We were all tired when we came back to the hotel. So we slept really fast.

Love,
Chrissi

Hey,

So this is the last update for our Berlin holidays. Fabi bought some souvenirs today which she wanted to share with you. You know in Berlin they have a Ritter Sport chocolate shop. Fabi was in there and got all crazy. She bought a 2kg “surprise” bag with a mix of chocolate inside. And now we want to share with you what was inside the 2kg bag.





And no: She doesn’t keep it all for herself. Some of the chocolate will be send away to friends and others will be eaten by her brother or her boyfriend. So she won’t eat 2kg of chocolate all alone.

So that was our Berlin holidays. I hope you like the pictures and enjoyed it as much as I did.

Love,
Chrissi
