Travelog for: Henrik

Hi! My name is Henrik and I'm a Finnish moose. My mom got me from a shop today and I was happy to go with her. At first I met my new friend Manu the rubber duck; he is quite famous here in Finland. We went to my new home by a tram and my mom gave me some chocolate and latte - I just love coffee and chocolate 

We went to see the city and I saw the famous Lutheran Cathedral of Helsinki.

After a lond walk in the city we went to a nice cafe' on the beach and we had a HUGE latte 

Soon Manu and I got some new friends. At first arrived Gustav from Germany and pretty soon after him arrived Mercury from Canada. We all travelled to visit my mom's mother in the Central Finland.

There was a big Skiffle Music Festival nearby the place we stayed and we went there to listen some great bands and visit some of my mom's friends. We had lots of fun there; I like all kinds of music  The concerts were in a big tent and we spent some time behind the tent too. The consert place was really near to a railway station and we saw some big trains there too.

The place where we stayed in the Central Finland was beautiful and we were out a lot. The weather was warm and sunny; we all enjoyed our time there a lot.

On Sunday we left the Central Finland and on our way back home we visited at Manu's godmother's summer cottage by the lake. In the evening we were all back home tired, but happy after a great trip. We had some delicious chocolate strawberries and went to bed.

My mom loves postcrossing and especially postcrossing meetings. I was in many meetings together with my friends and we wrote a lot of postcards there - that's fun and I like it  Here are photos of the meetings where I've been.

I like to be in the city, but I also like our trips to the countryside. Here are some photos of our trips this summer.

It was time for Gustav to leave us and travel to meet his next host in the United States of America. We all went for a cafe' and eat delious cakes and we told Gustav how mutch we like him and we'll all going to miss him a lot. We went to the post office and said bye-bye to Gustav. It was a sad day, but Gustav is now having fun with his new friends...

We had a wonderful International Postcrossing meeting here in Helsinki in the end of August. There were about 40 postcrossers, mostly from Finland, but also from different countries like Dandilion from The Netherlands. On Saturday evening we all wrote postcards together; 545 postcards, our wrists were a bit aching on Sunday... We also had a ToyVoyager meeting at our PC meeting and a special guest all the way from Malaysia named Harris. He looked a bit scaring at first, but actually he was really nice and friendly  Harris is the black one in the photos.

30.9.2009 we went to the amusement park of Helsinki called Linnanmäki. We had fun there and my mom even had a ride at the roller coaster with Dandilion. We had already made a deal that I would leave Helsinki and go to visit the Netherlands with Dandilion; I was really thrilled and excited... Here are the last photos of me in Helsinki, one of me with flowers and the another one of me with Dandilion.

Now I'll start my trip to the Netherlands with Dandilion. I'm looking forward to have great new adventures all over the world  See you all soon! Bye-bye!

(My mom wants to appologise for Dandilion, because this travelog is so late, but better late than ever, I think.)

Visit to Dordrecht


I went on the Fast ferry boat from Rotterdam to Dordrecht. 


We walked around Dordrecht and I have seen some pretty old Dutch house, like in this street.
