Heidelberg - At home, Germany - 10th February 2012
By: nuriayasmin
Hi there!
My first travelog entry, how exciting. As I mentioned in my profile, I'm a big Elvis fan and so I will always talk about Elvis in my travelog. Sometimes I wonder if nowadays youngsters are still familiar with Elvis and his music. Mum's daughter is 14 and says she likes Elvis but she can name only a couple of songs.
I like to read about Elvis and watch his films and concerts on DVD.
This is me posing with one of my favourite Elvis pictures from the 1968 NBC TV Special.
That's all for today. I hope I can tell you of some outdoor adventures soon.
Elvisly yours,
Coco

Heidelberg - At home, Germany - 14th February 2012

Kazumi is leaving us tomorrow. Her first journey will lead her to Torino in the north of Italy. We had a look on the map to see where exactly that town is situated. Then Kazumi tested her envelope.
The weather is very ugly now, rainy and cloudy. Mum has got to work again tomorrow but if the weather is okay, we're going to spend the last weekend of February at a youth hostel somewhere.
Elvisly yours,
Coco Presley

Heidelberg - At home, Germany - 26th February 2012

When we returned home from our weekend trip, a new ToyVoyager had arrived. Her name is Josie and she's a cute little dog. She's mum's first guest for the German Trail so I guess we should try to make her stay here very special. She brought some candies with her which we all shared, including Sammy.
Now I'm going to bed.
Elvisly yours,
Coco

Today I took a walk along the river Neckar. Mum showed me the Old Bridge which can be seen on most Heidelberg postcards and I saw the first flowers. Spring is coming - I'm really looking forward to it.
Elvisly yours,

Worms, Germany - 3rd March 2012
By: nuriayasmin
Today I visited Worms which is one of the oldest cities of Germany. It started as a Celtic settlement and was then conquered by the Romans. Its cathedral was built in the 12th century. In 1521, Martin Luther was declared an outlaw by the Edict of Worms. The city is also home of the Nibelungen Saga. Worms had a large Jewish community and the Jewish Cemetery is one of the oldest in Europe. However, during Reichskristallnacht in 1938, most of the Jewish quarter was destroyed and nowadays there's only a small Jewish population living in the city. Worms is situated at the river Rhine in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
Unfortunately Mum had forgotten to recharge her camera's battery before we left so we could only take a couple of photos
The Martin Luther/Reformation Memorial
The Cathedral
It's a Memorial behind me and it has something to do with the Nibelungen Saga but I can't recall the details.
Elvisly yours,
Coco

Heidelberg + Seckach, Germany - 11th March 2012
By: nuriayasmin
About a month ago our rabbit Lola died and her son Krümel stayed alone here. Mom decided she doesn't want to have a new rabbit and as Krümel shouldn't stay alone, she looked for someone to take him and found a nice woman in Seckach whose female rabbit was looking for a partner. So this morning we checked Krümel's transport box and then accompanied him to his new home which meant a journey of about 75 minutes by train.
Elvisly yours,

A new TV has arrived. His name is Nils and he's the white bear on the right. We spent a wonderful afternoon on the balcony while mum was working.
