Travelog for: Donald

Hello Everyone, I would like to introduce myself, my name is Donald, and as you can see I am a Scottish Bear that travels in my kilt and Tartan Tammy Hat, I am very proud to be Scottish, and love all things Scottish, But I dont drink the Whisky because it gives me a fuzzy head, and I dont eat the Haggis because it scares me.  Anyway I am up for a laugh and would like to try anything once, I mind my manners and I love a cuddle before I go to bed at night



This is me with my brother Callum



I heard about this great website called ToyVoyagers so I thought that I would check it out



When I saw all the wonderful places I could visit I had a look on the map and thought this was for me



I decided that I wanted to visit Greece and thought it would only be polite to learn some of the language



Now that I have decided that this is what I want to do I have to say my goodbyes

Donald said his final goodbyes this morning and he is off to visit his first host in France, we were sorry to see him go, but we are looking forward to seeing his journey unfold.

His travel plans so far are:-

Bonjour !
I'm in France , my trip was fine and i'm happy to be there. I didn't expect the scottish weather here !! (the rain didn't last but it's cold outside).
I didn't meet Gargouille and Tortilla but i don't feel too lonely : there are a few "stay at home" toys : a french teddy bear and a french zebra and 3 toys  who are souvenirs from the Usa so i can speak english with them. I had my first "baguette" (french bread) today.
Well, i'm a little bit tired by all these events , i'll type more later and will send some pixes.
Au revoir ...

Bonjour !
I'm still alive and kickin ! I 've done many things lately : been to Fleur's office, hectic work. Her workmate said "oh qu'il est mignon!" as soon she saw me (he's so cute).
Saturday is market day at Arras. It's very crowded, i've seen lot of veggies, meat, cheese ... i enjoyed it and should go back on next market day (wednesday) for better pixes. The houses are beautiful and the weather was nice but cold.
Back to the flat i got a "café viennois" and a "drops" (chocolate chip bread). So yummy ! I tried to read the last Harry Potter in french.
Today Fleur cooked me an english breakfast (without bacon). I will send you a postcard from Arras soon mum, so you'll have a good idea of the place i visit.
Bisous !

here are some other pix

Bonjour !
i really enjoy my stay in France; last sunday i could watch the rugby game between France and Scotland. I was sorry Scotland lost but never mind. Fleur was supporting the Scots with me.
I went back to the market today but it was almost over and much smaller than on saturday. I've seen "la grand place", a very big square with beautiful houses. Then we went to the library. It was in a former abbaye and is in the same place than the museum, called "Palais St Vaast". This city is full of historic houses.
Yesterday was Mardi-Gras, they celebrate it with pan cakes in France, Fleur said she'll cook some for me on saturday, especially if a new friend is coming from the netherlands. I can't wait to meet him!!
Mum, i'll write you a postcard very soon,
Bisous!!

Hello mum !
Just a few words to say there's a new kid in the block ! Fleur came today from the post office with a tiny dutch hippo called Dirkie. It's great to meet another tv here,
Bisous...

Bonjour !
yesterday, in the furniture of books i met a scottish doll, who said she comes from Inverness. I was happy to talk with her. Fleur asked Dirkie and I to help her to cook the pancakes. We'll have a party tonight. I can't wait and it will be so much fun with all my friends !! I didn't go to the market tonight but went to the shop with Fleur. She had to pick up some clothes she ordered. Ah , ladies ... It was good to walk in the streets of Arras by a beautiful blue sky !
Bisous

Bonjour !
There was a "crepes" party yesterday and i  had lot of fun with Dirkie and the other toys. I enjoyed the pancakes and waffles!! Today was quiet, i've written a postcard so watch your mail box mum !!
Bisous

Bonjour !
The weather is beautiful here and i've been in the garden to see the first flowers. In this home, there are several animals : a pony, 2 cats and a dog. Today there was one more dog : Alhea the boxer who is Helene 's dog. Helene is Fleur's sister. Aude (another sister) has done a drawing of me. I am nice, amn't I ?  I met also a stay at home singing toy dog who is very funny -and less dangeroos than real dogs!

Bonjour !
Just have a look at this crazy japanese style picture of me... Tomorrow we'll go to another town at Fleur's grand-father for 2 days. I'm very happy to visit another place.
Bisous

Bonjour,
i just drive back from the little town of St Pol sur Ternoise.  I had a good time there : I was playing in the garden (the weather was perfect) of Fleur's grand-father. I also walk in town , most of the houses have been built after world war 2, there are a few historic places though.
Bisous

Bonjour !
Today I've been to the city of St Omer, the closest from Fleur's parents. It was great to go to the fair!! Then i could see many old houses, monuments and shops. It's a very interesting place to be.
Bisous!
