Nørre Vorupør, Denmark - 24th June 2011

By: fam-united

This is our last day at Nørre Vorupør. We visited the local museum with exhibitions about the town and fishing tradition.

We sat down in a ship and hoped, that someone would come and take us fishing, but Petra told us, that we'd chosen the wrong ship.

We had some fun, when we took the group photo in the steering wheel.

on our way to Hannover, Germany - 25th June 2011

By: fam-united

We are back in the car again - for another more than 7 hours trip back to the motel in Hannover. Of course it is raining again.

Hannover, Germany - 26th June 2011

By: fam-united

Once more we stayed at the Motel one in Hannover. Petra said, that she had a really really bad night. The bed was much too hard for her to sleep. Thank God, we toyvoyagers had a nice place to rest.

Now we are in the car again and guess what? It is raining.

Here we are on our way to Bad Pyrmont. I guess it was Bingen, where we took this photo.

I can't remember, where this photo was taken.

Bad Pyrmont, Germany - 26th June 2011

By: fam-united

After we had breakfast in a nice coffee shop, we went on a little walk. We saw some really beautiful old houses.

Fountain Place with Hylligen Born

Here we passed Frankfurt a.M. and we tried to catch a photo with us and the skyline - it was too far away and really small. So it is hard to understand, why they call the skyline of Frankfurt a.M. "Mainhatten".

Bruchsal, Germany - 26th June 2011

By: fam-united

At home again, we found two big packages on the kitchen table. Cassiopeia and some long missed toyvoyagers had arrived during our stay in Denmark. We have to talk now - tell stories of our travels.

Bruchsal, Germany - 12th July 2011

By: fam-united

Petra's camera had been at the shop to get rid of the amount of sand in it. So we had no chance to take photos in the meantime.

Today it was warm and now there are heavy clouds at the sky. We wait for more rain.

Ötigheim, Germany - 15th July 2011

By: fam-united

This early evening we were in Ötigheim to watch "Peter Pan". I really enjoyed it. See a few photos of it here:

Mannheim, Germany - 19th July 2011

By: fam-united

I and a few other toyvoyagers were allowed to join Petra and her class on the trip to Luisenpark in Mannheim. We had some fun there. I don't know, if it was really my idea to sit there.

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6134/6008543117_15539a5209_o.jpg


Do storks eat toyvoyagers like me? I seem to be small enough. And I'm a frog!!! - edit - I just heard, that it's a mistake. I'm not a frog, although I just thought it. I'm still a cat. Puhh, seems, that storks don't eat cats, even if they are that small like me:)

There is a television tower in the park too, but we've only seen it from far.

Bruchsal, Germany - 28th July 2011

By: fam-united

Summer break started, so Petra and two of her kids are off from school for 6 and a half weeks. To celebrate the day we went on a short walk to a restaurant, which is located at the edge of Bruchsal area. A part of the way led us on the way of the seven sorrows of Jesus' mother Maria.

This is the first station: Simeon's prophecy.

Before we reached the fifth station we passed this cross.

The chapel called "Feldkirchle" is the fifth station.

We also passed this vineyard.

Bruchsal, Germany - 4th August 2011

By: fam-united

Today we took a photo of nearly all tvs, which stay here right now. There are several tvs of our host: Aaron, Robinson, Schnuffi, Scotty, Cassiopeia and Simba Leon. Then there are the regular guests: me, Bubo, Henry, Sanji, Tuffy, NiliHH, BarryO, Chuckle, WillyW. All the others are tvs, which stayed with hosts, who had some problems and no chance to send them on to their owners or the next host. It is the biggest amount of toyvoyagers I ever had around me:)

Bad Nauheim, Germany - 10th August 2011

By: fam-united

Finally we found time to go on another short trip. We drove to Bad Nauheim in the morning. Maybe you don't know anything about Bad Nauheim and what makes it interesting for us. It is a really nice city with about 30000 inhabitants and is located about 35 km north from Frankfurt a.M.

Elvis Presley lived in Bad Nauheim during his time with the United States Army in Friedberg.

In the old town center of Bad Nauheim is the barn at the gate to the castle: The gate, the 'Burgpforte', was used by Elvis Presley as the motif of a record cover for his 1959 #1 hitrecord 'A Big Hunk o' Love'. Here is a photo of him at the gate. The photo is part of the exhibition ( the link is in German, sorry) about Elvis' time in Bad Nauheim and a bit about Elvis in general.

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6193/6076971531_00aa9587c1_o.jpg


Elvis sang "Muss i denn zum Städele hinaus". Here is a sheet with the text and he wrote in phonetic spelling under the lines, how he had to sing it.

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6068/6077511054_d9d6519d0c_o.jpg


Elvis liked karate. Here is one of his suits.

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6075/6076974627_dc40de53cb_o.jpg


Of course there was much more to see and read, but Petra said, that she can't take a photo of each photo or item with me. After seeing the exhibition we went to an Irish Pub for lunch.

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6200/6077513716_6a7f957876_o.jpg


Terrassenstraße - a street - was near to the Irish Pub, so we decided to walk there and go to see Hotel Grunewald. Elvis lived there after he arrived in Germany in October 1958. One week after him also his father, grandmother and two friends and bodyguards came too. At first they stayed at another hotel, but then they rent a whole floor. Room 10 - Elvis room - still looks the same, but it is closed for public.

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6198/6076977097_701fd19c5c_o.jpg


Right in front of the hotel is the Elvis-Presley-Place and the stele.

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6063/6077514570_f077b5c953_o.jpg


Near to the "Burgpforte" - where nobody took a single photo with us toyvoyagers, but only the humans:( - ok, near to the "Burgpforte" we saw these lovely half timbered houses.

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6075/6077516526_4b7b0a5d79_o.jpg


In the garden we had a rest near a "Gradierbau" - refine building (not sure, how to call it in English). I like this beach chair.

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6203/6077518610_0429d9f1c8_o.jpg


While walking in the garden, we saw this church.

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6078/6077523982_36b809c288_o.jpg


On our way back to the car we walked through Goethestraße. In the house Goethestraße 14 Elvis lived for one year during his stay in Germany.

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6186/6076986985_e631a4e62c_o.jpg


It was a strange feeling to walk in the footsteps of Elvis and really interesting for everyone - even those, who don't like Elvis too much. Of course this last part of the sentence doesn't count for my female host.

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/september%202011/IMG01071-20110919-1227.jpg
I arrived at my new host-house! However, she took me to her job, together with other TV's. Who they are? No idea, but I guess I soon found that out!

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/september%202011/IMG01072-20110919-1228.jpg
The TV's are Umechan from Japan, Dikkie Dik and Billie, TV's from my new host and Veronica from Finland. They saw the envelope and said: An envelope? A new TV!!!

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/september%202011/IMG01073-20110919-1229.jpg
First a card came out.

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/september%202011/IMG01074-20110919-1230.jpg
Then me!

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/september%202011/IMG01075-20110919-1230.jpg
Dikkie Dik saw I am a pussycat.

http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad222/photoclaudia/hosting%201/september%202011/IMG01076-20110919-1231.jpg
We are now big friends!

I think I'll like it here!
Talk to you soon!
Love, Jack
