Well, I am in my Mentor's office today and am sitting in her slippers. I hope that I will be able to sit in other people's slippers too when I start my first ToyVoyage. Will you host me?

Yippie! I am going on a trip to Germany! I am so excited as I travel tomorrow. I am looking forward to travelling the world and although my mentor will miss me, she is pleased to see me taking my first paw prints out into the big wide world.
If you would like to host me in the future, please let my mentor know.

Hi Mummy,
I arrived at my first host's home today. Katja picked me up at the post office because I took up so much space in my envelope that I did not fit into the mail slot.
I was welcomed by Fluffytail the squirrel, Theodore the chipmunk and Elston the edchina. They all seem to be very nice.
Katja will take me with her when she has to back to work after her lunch break.
Bye

Duesseldorf, Germany - 30th January 2009
By: olgamaus
Hi Mummy,
today we visited Düsseldorf, the capital city of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The city is situated on the River Rhine and is renowned for its many events and also for its fashion and trade fairs.
We went there by train and walked to the town centre.
We saw this interesting pyramide, a fountain which is put out of service in winter,
this is a church, Johannekirche.
This is an equestrian sculture showing Emperor Wilhelm I, one of the former German Emperors, who lived from 1797 until 1888 A.D.
We reached Königsalle, the most famous shopping street here. They have stores of the world famous designers here. Königsallee is called "KÖ" here.
The small river Duessel is running through the town.
From here we walked to Altstadt (old town). Here you can see the town hall.
From here it is not far to river Rhine.
This is the Landtag of the state North Rhine-Westphalia, the provincial government, also situated at the river Rhine.
Here you can see an information board regarding to Rhine tower.
In Germany they definitely have too many traffic signs, even on footways.
Now you can see Rhine Tower.
It was already getting dark than. The river lookes so beautiful with the sun going down that we made more pictures.
Sunset in the haven.
We walked along the backside of the Landtag, here a library is situated.
When we returned to Altstadt all the pubs at the waterfront were illuminated.
We went back into Altstadt.
Katja and her friend hat a few delicious beers later and an even more delicious mojito.
Bye

Remscheid, Germany - 13th February 2009

Hi Mummy,
today another teddy bear arrived with Harold from Australia. Little bear Peti is from Hungary.
Elston will leave tomorrow so he had planned to bake lamingtons, the "Australian national cake" for us as his farewell dinner.
The other two ToyVoyagers from Australia helped hin. The kitchen was a mess afterwards, but they represented delicious lamingtons.
Lamingtons are squares of sponge cake, dipped into chocolate icing and covered with dessicated coconut.
While the sponge cake had to cool down for further treatment Katja offered us a glass of sparkling wine, also very delicious.
Have a look!
Bye
