Hi Mummy,
I arrived in Remscheid today!
What a surprise - I was welcomed by a whole bunch of ToyVoyagers. Fiona also arrived today. Katja was very delighted to meet me and my red-hearted friend.
As the weather is fantastic, we are planning to go out later.
Love
Clifford

Remscheid, Germany - 9th February 2011
By: olgamaus
I could not wait to take a walk. In the afternoon we went out. First we walked along a sports ground. Soccer is usually played here, soccer is one of the most famous sports, like in England.
Katja showed us this beautiful Patrician villa, built in the late 1780 years. It once was the house of a rich factory owner, nowadays a museum is situated in this lovely building.
Here I saw that Remscheid is surrounded by valleys and forests. In the background you can see the outskirts of the neighbour city Wuppertal.
We nearly reached the bottom of the valley.
Remscheid is an old industrial town, about 780 years old. Tools are produced here since middle ages. Here you can see one of the old factory buildings, you can often find them close to housing areas.
This is the bottom of the valley, on the right side of the street there is a creek flowing, it is marking the border between Remscheid and Wuppertal.
Katja told us that than we had to walk uphill again. On this slope of the valley we walked through a forest.
We came through a small hamlet than, here I also saw nice old houses.
Here you can see typical houses of this region. You can find many half-timbered houses or those which are covered with slate. Also typical are those green shutters.
We walked through another rural district than, with large meadows. Can you see the two towers in the background? This is the city centre with the tower of the city hall and a water tower. We started our trip there and will have to walk back there.
This really was an exhausting trip on my first day here. We all will relax in the evening, doing almost nothing.
Love
Clifford

Remscheid, at home, Germany - 17th February 2011
By: olgamaus
In the evening I met Katja's pets - funny fuzzies which cannot sit still for more than a second. They seemed to like me.
First ferret girl Zaehnchen came to say "Hello" ...
The second one was not really interested in me.
The third one was chasing a plush mouse, I'm sure I'll meet her some day.
Bye

Remscheid, Germany - 26th February 2011

Hi Mummy,
a new guest arrived today!
It's Kirin, he came here from Russia. His homeland is Chile.
Kirin had to spend two days at the post office, so he could not wait to go out and enjoy the fresh air. So we went to take a walk.
Not far from home I saw something really interesting...
A red house! Let get closer ...
There is even a red car parked in front of it, no, even two red cars!
We walked towards the municipal park. Nothing special at this time of the year, Katja told us. But she showed us the elementary school, her kids went to this school when they were younger.
In Hasten we saw lots of nice old houses.
Katja told us that this street is leading towards a nice woodland area, but because she thought it would start to rain soon, we did not walk into the forest.
Those who are living here don't like dogs, I suppose.
Katja showed us this poster, "Evita" is her most favourite musical. She told us that she has already seen it live on stage and she would love to see it again.
This is the little park in front of the police station.
From here we had only a few more minutes to walk home. It really started to drizzle in the meantime.
Bye
Clifford

Wuppertal-Cronenberg, Germany - 19th March 2011
By: olgamaus
Hi Mummy,
today we made a trip to the neighbour city Wuppertal to take a long walk.
In Wuppertal they have a walking- and cycling trail built on a closed railway track, it is called "Sambatrasse". Is is beginning in Wuppertal-Cronenberg and is leading to Wuppertal-Vohwinkel, about 10 km long. We walked a short part of it in Cronenberg. Here one of the old trains is parked.
Oh great, it is red!
Can you spot me among all this red?
Here I am!
From a bridge we had a fantastic overview. In the background you can see the city centre of Remscheid, situated on a hill, with its two characteristic towers of the city hall and the water tower.
In Cronenberg we walked through the town center. I saw a school of arts here.
Cronenberg is an old district with lovely old houses.
Springtime is coming!
An arboretum is situated here, a collection of trees. Fiona was eager to see the trees of North America, so we walked along the trail showing those trees.
We found some pieces of artwork here in the forest, like this carved mushroom.
At the end of our tour we found a map. We followed the pink line.
When we walked back home, we saw more signs of springtime in the gardens.
I hope you at home are also having such wonderful weather!
Bye
Clifford
