Leidschendam, The Netherlands - 29th June 2008

We begged and pleaded with our host because we wanted to see the football game. And so she put us all in front of the TV (as in television, not ToyVoyager). But what a strange game this is. Why is this Spanish guy sitting on the grass? I thought they were supposed to run around after a ball?
Hmm, this is more like it. I wonder who's going to win. The Welpies keep saying: "The Dutch! The Dutch!" I don't have the heart to tell them they are no longer in the tournament.
Update 11 pm: Sorry mom, Spain won! I think it was still a great game.

Because we had been sitting at home idly all week, we begged our host to do something fun with us. And so we had our own TV-balcony party. A party isn't a real party with only three attendents, so we invited some other toys around the house as well.
First we welcomed a new member of the family. This hedgehog was rescued from the shelves of a store today. He had been shouting out at our host last week, but then she pretended not to hear him. But the thought about him didn't let her go, so she went back today to save him. He doesn't have a name yet. Do you have any ideas?
We started the party by playing with the ball.
It was more 'noseball' for some of us than football.
Suddenly Jason came onto the balcony and intruded upon our game. He took hold of the ball...
And he wouldn't let go!
We decided to let him have his fun with it. We just went on to play another game. We played Ludo. Bellatrix and I were in one team, Yolanda and Mouse in another, the latest arrivals as the bear from London and the hedgehog were together and then the small cat and dog together with little Ceryni in another team. Jason was still involved with his ball, so we just let him.
It looks like the green team won, which consisted of the bear from London and the hedgehog! Congratulations guys!
Then we continued the party by playing a card game. No one really knew the rules, so we kind of made them up as we went along.
Since no one knew the rules, there was no winner in this game. But we sure laughed a lot and had a lot of fun!
It got a bit colder and darker, so we huddled up closely together and our host lit a candle. Okay, so it's no real bonfire, but my host that was a tad too dangerous on her balcony. But we settled for the TV-sized flame
All in all we had a great evening tonight!

Bellatrix was just relaxing when she heard someone call her name. She went over to him to find out what he wanted to ask her.
"Bellatrix, I have a very special assignment for you. Go and call the other travellers from the foreign countries over here. "Ceryni, Moony, get over here! We need to do something!"
"Good, I see you are all here. I have an assigment for you. All of you have life-missions regarding places in the world you would like to visit. Now I want you to go on a 'Quest of Exploration' to see if there are any creatures here in this house who have some more information for you about these locations. I'm not saying that they have, but some of them might. Good luck and return to me when you are finished!
So we set out on our journey and we found this cat:
We talked to this English bear:
We found Rudolph. We're guessing he was born in the States somehow.
This feline creature certainly looks like she could know about the Moulin Rouge.
Mouse! Do you know anything about the Galapagos Islands?
Jason, why are you sitting in a box? Is there a chance you know something about the Atlantic Ocean?
I think that we found all of them. Let's go back to the panda.
"Hello again. You did a great job! I hope this quest enriched all your lives now that you know what your missions are about."
"I only have one quest reward for the three of you. It will go to the lady of you three, to Bellatrix!"
This is Bellatrix with her 'Bracelet of Exploration'.
Dear Moony, you look like a happy dog. Never forget to have fun in your life and to obtain what you wish for.
Dear Ceryni, you may be small, but remember, it is not size that matters, but perseverance and strength.

We're going away for four days; two people and three TVs and this is all our luggage. Okay granted, we're going to stay in a tent so we need to bring everything ourselves, but still. If I were going on a trip by myself, I wouldn't need all that luggage. But then again, that would mean I were to be released in the wild and I would have to look for my own food and shelter. On second thought, nah, I'll stick with these people for a while and hope they'll send me to a nice next host in due time.
And they don't even have a car! We're going to the other side of the country with public transportation. Now that's going to be some trip!

Wow, this is already the last day! Here you can see the tent in which we slept for three nights.
This picture was taken during the final battle. The participants beat all the monsters, so all ended well.
It has been a very special weekend for me. I have never been to an environment like this one and I met many special people and strange creatures. I hope the pictures show you a bit what it was like.

Look, this is what we ate today. No, it's not very healthy indeed, but it sure tasted great. It's croquettes made of potatoes, kipnuggets, a cheese soufflé and apple/strawberry sauce. And yes, the soda is indeed green
