Travelog for: Henrik

Hello,

Today we went to the coal mine complex Zollverein which is an UNESCO WHS. We had a lot of fun while jumping around on an old wheel.


Can you see me? No?




Here I am!

There was a miniature complex as a card. So you were able to see where you are and where you want to go. We made a picture with the tower of coal mine Zollverein.



And as we wanted to see the real tower as well, we went there.





That was a lot of fun. I really liked it there.

Love,
Henrik

Hey,

it was such a nice weather today, that we decided to drive to Witten and have a walk at the Hohenstein. There is a memorial place called Berger-Denkmal. It was built as a memorial for Louis Constans Berger. He was one of the founders of Witten.

Here you see the tower, which was built for Louis Constans Berger.





You have a really great view over the Ruhr valley from there.





Here the tower from the other side.





We found an overview map of the view.






And then we made a group picture.





It was a nice day and I really enjoyed it.

Love,
Henrik

Hello !

Today we welcomed a new ToyVoyager here at Fabis home. His name is Droopy and I guess we will have a lot of fun together.



Love,
Henrik

Hey,

today we welcomed Herlinde here. She is a really nice dragon. The photo is not so good, but Fabi promised to make better ones later.



Love,
Henrik

Today Fabi decided to have a walk with us in Herten. You know, she has the guest Herlinde and she is a dragon. So Fabi wanted to show us another dragon near her hometown Essen. We didn’t know what will be waiting there for us, so we were all excited to meet a dragon.



And then we arrived. It was a bridge. A dragon bridge. Wow. Really amazing. What do you think?



Love,
Henrik

Hey,

Today we visited castle Hugenpoet. It is a hotel and a restaurant. Fabi wasn’t able to go inside, as there was a big private party, but we had a look at it from the outside. It was really cool. But have a look at the photos.





It was a nice day and I hope we will visit a lot more nice places in the future.

Love,
Henrik

Hey,

today we met some famous persons. I was so excited. Fabi said we will go to Madame Tussauds and that there are a lot famous persons. We weren’t able to make much photos, as it was so crowded there, but we made two group pictures.

Here we go.

First we met Anne Frank. Her diary of the Second World War was published. Every child here in Germany reads it in school, normally. Did you read the book?



Later Fabi said she will be a politician now. We were all excited and asked to join her. So she allowed us and we did. We had a speech with Angela Merkel, the chancellor of Germany.





It was really great there. I really wish I could have seen more.

Love,
Henrik

Hey,

This photo is from the Berlin cathedral. The Berlin Cathedral had never been a cathedral in the actual sense of that term since it has never been the seat of a bishop.

Right from it you can see the “Alex”. The television tower of Berlin.



That was a long walk and a long day was over then. We were all tired when we came back to the hotel. So we slept really fast.

Love,
Henrik

Hey,

So this is the last update for our Berlin holidays. Fabi bought some souvenirs today which she wanted to share with you. You know in Berlin they have a Ritter Sport chocolate shop. Fabi was in there and got all crazy. She bought a 2kg “surprise” bag with a mix of chocolate inside. And now we want to share with you what was inside the 2kg bag.





And no: She doesn’t keep it all for herself. Some of the chocolate will be send away to friends and others will be eaten by her brother or her boyfriend. So she won’t eat 2kg of chocolate all alone.

So that was our Berlin holidays. I hope you like the pictures and enjoyed it as much as I did.

Love,
Henrik

Hello everyone,

I've had so much fun lately that I totally forgot to update my travelog, oops. Well, I'm back at home in Helsinki and I've been here for quite a long time already. I came here straight from the Postcrossing meeting of Köln. My mom's friend Kati (Kilona) brought me to Helsinki and I stayed at here place for a few days. When I finally arrived at home I noticed that here were many TVs at our place and I was busy getting to know all of them.

Here you can see a few new pictures of me with my friends...

Have a nice day

Yes, I made it!  I heard only a few giggles and whispering for a couple of days.  I think everyone was excited that Miss Kate received mail before she even arrived.  But today I have met her and the other toyvoys, and I can't wait to have an adventure!  Thank you for letting me travel some more, Mom, and Miss Kate thanks you for the treats.

Love,
Henrik

Hey Mom!  Hello everyone!

It was time to see the log cabin ... from the outside ... and walk down to the beach and Lake Superior.  It's beautiful.  And I think we're all getting along swimmingly. 

Miss Kate's mom recognized me from my photos in Iran and treated me like a celebrity. 

Love,
Henrik

We went to town today and found a map to help us orient ourselves.  Miss Kate marked it up to show you where we are staying. 

Cheerio's mom gave Miss Kate this book for all of us to read.  We learned a lot about lakes and about Wisconsin.  Like how to make a cast of moose tracks.  I especially liked that one. 

Miss Kate told us about a legend of a secret place where an old Chippewa Indian – they’re also called Ojibwe – built a small village.  Maybe for wood elves.  Maybe for spirits.  Years later he was gone and one family for generations has continued to add to the Hidden Village.  She said it's hard to find, but we will try ...
