Travelog for: Ronya

Hey Daddy,

yesterday Relaxo and me were at the festival of lights. A lot of famous buildings in Berlin were lightened and it looks very great.

We really enjoyed our walk through Berlin from Main Station to Alexanderplatz. A great walk.

I think the pictures tell you more then I can.

Kisses to you daddy

Dear Daddy,

host mommy had a meeting in Potsdam again and she took me and Relaxo with her.
So I could see the beautiful city Potsdam. Unfortunately the weather was not the best one, but nevertheless we could take our walk.

Relaxo already was in Potsdam and he showed me his pictures from the Park Sansscouci. Together we saw the city center with the Nauener Gate, the Dutch Quater, a big church, the Brandenburger Street (shopping street in Potsdam), we saw the Platz der Einheit with the Nikolaichurch and the city libary. It was a big contrast between the buildings. Can you see me on the pictures daddy?

Then we went to the movie museum in Potsdam - in the past it was the Marstall (horse barn) for the horses of the prussians kings.

Right beside the Marstall they are rebuilding the Potsdamer Castle. Isn´t great daddy???? It is almost ready and we could see quite a lot.

After that we went back to the main train station in Potsdam and saw the theater ship. Yes you hear right - it is a ship where a theater is inside. Just a small ensemble but they are playing good. Each summer they are traveling through Germany and play in different cities.

The theater ship is nearby the friendship island. In the summer very nice, but now a bit grey.

Then we took the train back to Berlin.

Greetings to you
Daddy

Hey Daddy,

this weekend we went to Eberswalde where host mommys parents live. We started at on of the main train stations in Berlin Sudkreuz and it took just around 40 minutes to get to Eberswalde.
Host mommy shot some pictures of me and Nikita during the journey. Can your see a bit of the landskape? It was very cloudy and foggy this weekend.

As we arrived we went to the city center. It is not really big but nice. 

We saw an old fountain and some frame houses. The old drugstore you can see is now a museum and you can get a lot of information about the ciity Eberswalde. Currently they are rebuilding it. So for the next summer everything will be new for the tourists.

Tomorrow we will take a walk along the Finow Canal. The nature is great here and different to the big city Berlin.

With Nikita I found a very good friend and we have so much fun here, even we don´t take photos all the time. Sorry for that daddy.

So I will show you some more pictures soon.

Kisses Ronya

Hey Daddy,

it´s me again. And how I promised you will see some more pictures of me in Eberswalde.
The weather was very mild, but it started to rain during our walk and so we couldn´t go very long. But nevertheless the fresh air was great.

We walked along the Finow Canal and saw and old Water Tower - if you have a good view you can see even the Television Tower from Berlin. Then we saw a refurbished building. In the past it was the Messingwerk (brass factory) and now there are a lot of new flats inside. Wow!

We walked further and saw a small church and a sluice. It is a very nice place here I have to say. But of course our home town is the best.

Greetings dear daddy.
Ronya

Hey Daddy,

the Christmas Time is coming and I hope you feel well. 

Last weekend me and Nikita baked some cookies for us and host mommys family. It was a nice weekend because it started to snow here in Berlin? How is it at home, daddy? Do you have snow as well?

The cookies were soooo goood and tasty and they are almost all eaten by us. The Chocolate-Chilli cookies were my favorites.
But don´t worry I´m still fine and I get a lot of fruits as well.

Christmas Greetings to you
Daddy <: )

Hello dad!

I arrive here today!

DADDY, I'M IN FINLAND NOW! 

Several toys said welcome to me. They all are my new friends.
There's Kurnau, Phillip, Mimi-Lilo, Nyankororin and Santa Bear.



They hugged me as a welcome



And here is Kurnau cat, one of my host here. He is very nice!



Oh, and hostmommy asked me to tell you "Kiitos!" for all wonderful surprises and candies which I took with me from home. Hostmommy liked them all, and she was so pleased about them.

I think I will have nice time in Finland.

Love,
Ronya

Hello daddy!

It was really exiting day today. I travelled in the train with my friends Phillip and Nyankororin. We went to visit Helsinki, the capital city of Finland.



The train moved so quickly. Look! 



Here we are almost there, the railway station of Helsinki. There's already many railways next to each other there.



I saw other trains there, too!





Now we are in Helsinki. It's Helsingfors in Swedish.
(There's two official languages in Finland: Finnish and Swedish).



Look, there's stone men in the wall of the railwaystation!!! Yes, they are quite famous ones. 



It's nice to be in the capital city of Finland!

Love,
Ronya

Hi daddy!

Today I visited in Heureka. It's Finnish Science Center. It's located in Tikkurila, Vantaa.
More information about this place you can find here: http://www.heureka.fi/en

There were many interesting things and exhibitions in this Science Center, but unfortunately the most of the parts were not allowed to take photos...
But you can only imagine how much I learned today!!! 

Look, there's the Earth planet behind us!!! 
I saw other planets, too.



And look about this, mommy! We are under the ball, and the ball doesn't fall down, it's staying in the air. Magical thing!!! 



...Pssst, daddy, I tell you the secret. The ball didn't fall, because there's little air flow there.

I had lots of fun today!

Love,
Ronya

Hello daddy!

Guess what?!? I'm in the Helsinki-Vantaa Airport right now.
I'm so exited, because hostmommy took me with her in her holiday.

This plane was inside of the airport building. It's a decoration! Wow!


And DADDY!!! I met a Moomin troll! It's very popular charachter all over the World.


Through the window I saw some real big planes.
Soon I will be inside one of them, jey!






Daddy, look! I'm in the air now! 
And all those things looks so tiny! So tiny roads, cars, houses, trees, lakes... so tiny ones!
But still, it looks beautiful, isn't it?


Inside the plane there was a cool monitor. There was a map in the screen. Look, dad, we are going to prepare landing soon. I'm going to visit Spain with my hostmommy!


Love,
Ronya

Hello daddy!

I'm here, I'm in Spain! 

Look, there's so beautiful! This is the view from our hotel room.


And this is the swimming pool in the hotel's backyard.


Hih, I'm here... just behind the cactus.


I wanted to take a little walk outside. I wanted to see everything about this city.


Daddy, there's so warm, and sunny, and nice in Spain! This must be the best holiday I ever had! 

Love,
Ronya

Hello daddy!

Today we visit a city named Benalmádena. And we visit a Butterfly Park there.
There's many beautiful butterflies and some other small animals.



It was quite difficult to take good photos of flying butterfly,
but luckily there's some night-butterflies, too.
Look daddy, those night-butterflies are so big sized! Wow! 



There's very beautiful waterfall in the Butterfly Park.
Oh, and just take a look the photo, there's a lizard, too!



Surprise, surprise! There's a small kangaroo also there!!! Can you believe it, dad? 



After visiting the Butterfly Park, we walked little and watched great landscapes of Benalmádena.





Look, there's the flag of Spain!



Love,
Ronya

Hi daddy!

Today I was long time on the beach. It was really nice just relaxing in sun. 





After sun bathing, I found an awesome waterfall very near the beach.



And daddy, guess what we did today, too?!?
We found a geocache!!! It was fun! 



Love,
Ronya
