Birmingham, England - 29th March 2008
By: TanyaLUpton
Hello! My name is Barnardo, I was found in a charity shop here in Birmingham, UK, and am now looking forward to a life of adventure! Next week I'll be going camping in Holland but when I return to England I hope to travel more on my own, how exciting! If you would like to host me please let me know, anywhere is good with me, so long as you take good care of me, I am a bit scared of the wide world at the moment!

Here I am on holiday camping. It rained most of the time, the last day the sun came out! I saw lots of colourful flowers though, which was nice.

Duesseldorf International Airport, Germany - 15th July 2008
By: olgamaus
Hi Mummy,
today we went by train to International Airport Duesseldorf in the early morning. We were booked on a flight to Munich at 09:05 am. After the check-in we went to the observation deck. We hoped to see a few planes landing or starting.
We then got on board of our plane, an Airbus A 320.

München, Germany - 15th July 2008
By: olgamaus
When we arrived in Munich, we drove into town by train. We brought our luggage to our lodging and went into the town centre by subway immidately.
Munich is the capital city of Bavaria, Germany. Munich is located on the River Isar north of the Bavarian Alps. Munich is the third largest city in Germany. The town has about 1.35 million inhabitants.
We startet our visiting tour in the old town.
Here you can see Sendlinger Tor, part of the city's former fortification.
We were hungy and had lunch in a fancy doner kebap restaurant: Dönertier. It was opened by a Germany comedian, part of the famour duo Erkan & Stefan. Katja's daughter Alex was very anxious to visit this restaurant.
Erkan & Stefan created the "Dönertier", an animal that looks like a living kebap on it's spit. Alex wanted to buy such a plushy Dönertier.
Inside the restaurant we found a really exclusive interiour decoration, also many pictures showing the Dönertier.
We found a shop where exclusive chocolates and other sorts of sweets are sold. We bought some delicious pralines and a special bar of chocolate for Katja's son. Look, I found banana pralines.
We made our way though the old town. Here you can see the new town hall, located at Marienplatz.
We then climbed upon Peterskirche, about 300 stairs. From the church tower you have a good look over the city centre.
On our way through the old town I saw many beautiful houses.
Here I am in front of the national theatre.
To the same complex of buildings the Residence belongs, which is the former royal palace of the Bavarian monarchs. You can also find the Court Garden in this complex. In the middle of the park in French style a circular temple (built in 1615 A.D.) is crowned by a statue of Bavaria.
We went to English Garden, one of the world's largest urban public parks. We wanted to drink a beer in the Biergarten at the Chinese Pagoda.
First we rested in the Monopterus, a replication of a classical Greek temple.
Katja had a surprise for us. She had contacted another ToyVoyager host who is living here in Munich. We met Pandamo in the evening. She also had some TovVoyagers to show them around.
We met at the German Museum, located on an island in the river Isar.
We saw some interesting things in the inner courtyard of the museum, for example this gigantic turbine, which belonged to a hydroelectric power station in China.
Here you can see a carousel close to the building of the museum and part of a ship's propeller.
We walked along the river Isar with Pandamo. We made some group pictures with the TVs Mocha, Bestik and Hurley.
We saw the Golden Friedensengel, which is standing on a pillar, 38 metres high. This statue reminds of the peaceful 25 years after the war between Germany and France in 1870/1871.
We walked along the river Isar back to the English Garden to have another beer, but this time a "Maß", the Bavarian word for 1 litre beer.
We talked the whole evening and became really tired. We went to our lodging in the late evening and fell into bed immediately. Oh, my feet are hurting .... I can't walk one step without crying tomorrow.
Bye
Barnardo

Munich, Germany - 17th July 2008
By: olgamaus
Hi Mummy,
today was our last day here in Munich. Yesterday in the late evening it started to rain. Today it does not look better outside.
In the morning we visited the Residenz, but we were not allowed to take any bag inside the museum. Photos can only be taken without flashlight. We had to stay in Katja's bag at the warderobe.
Our flight back home was at 3:15 p.m. so we had to leave Munich early.
Here we are at the airport in Munich.
This is our plane, again an Airbus A 320.
I really enjoyed our trip to Munich.
Bye
Barnardo
