Prague, Czech republic - 2nd September 2009
By: misagan
Hi!
I am a beach dog Barney and I want to see the world. I have never traveled in my life and now I want to make use of the opportunity.
I am looking for kind hosts from all continents who want to travel a lot with me and show me as many famous places as they can. I am very curious toy so I want everything to be explained to me.
If you want to host me for a while, please, send a PM to my mentor misagan. I will be more than happy if you can fulfill my life quests!
My travelplan so far:
Olgamaus - Germany
Rennire - Canada
becka_kate - Australia

Wuppertal, Germany - 17th September 2009
By: olgamaus
Hi Mummy,
on my first day we made a trip to Wuppertal, which is the neighbour town of Remscheid, famous for the worldwide one and only Monorail Suspension Railway (Schwebebahn). Wuppertal is the largest city of the region "Bergisches Land" with about 355.000 inhabitants.
We met Katja's friend BlackCat here. BlackCat had tickets for a concert in the evening, it will take place in a stone pit. The main act is Razorlight, the German band Kilians will be performing first.
But it was only afternoon and so we took a walk around the city.
Here is a first photo taken from the bus station with a first view across the city centre.
When you enter the city centre the first thing to see is the Schwebebahn.
The trains are coming in and out every five minutes. Mister_Right was here also the first time. He was as amazed as me to see such a funny train.
The suspension railway travels along a route about 13 kilometres long, about 12 metres above the surface of the river Wupper and approximately 8 m above the city streets. At one point the railway even crosses the A46 motorway. The entire trip takes about 30 minutes.
We walked into the city centre than. Here we are in front of one of the shopping malls.
We took a group photograph here, next to a funny fountain. I am sitting here with my new friends Pinkz, Nippy, Mister_Right and the TVs which are travelling with BlackCat.
In the shopping mall they have an exhibition showing desert animals. Katja soon found her favourite. It is not a reptile but a furry one.
A sand rat. Katja loves rats, she is keeping pet rats herself.
The next photo is showing the city hall with a market place and a large fountain in front of it.
We walked along the pedestrian area than.
I saw this funny statue here. It's name is "A new day at work". I have never see you doing a handstand before going to work, Mummy. Katja says she would also be going to work with doing it every morning.
"Luisenviertel" is a pretty quarter with lots of bars and restaurants.
We decided to walk along river Wupper for a while.
So here is the Schwebebahn again ...
This is one of the most modern stopping points.
We went inside the train station to have a look at the incoming trains.

The boy at the window was making jokes for us
The Schwebebahn is crossing the streets at some points.
We reached a quarter where the worldwide known chemical industry concern Bayer is situated. Pharmaceuticals are produced here.
We decided to take a ride with the Schwebebahn to get to the concert.
We were waiting for our train.
The concertgoers cannot get to the stone pit themselves, they will be taken there by shuttle bus.

Hi Mummy,
the weather is bad these days so we cannot take photos outside without drowning.
So we are sitting in the kitchen window, looking outside.

Hi Mummy,
I just want to tell you that I went with Katja's friend Marion.
Marion is going on a class trip tomorrow and she'll take me with her. You won't believe where we are going:
It's Rome!!!
We'll have to get up at 04:00 a.m. to drive to the airport.
Marion came today to bring her pet rats. Katja is hosting Marion's pet rats while she is on her class trip and Marion will host me for a week. That's great!

Rome, Italy - 3rd October 2009
By: olgamaus
like I told you Katja's friend Marion took me to Rome.
Rome is the capital of Italy with about 2,7 million residents. Rome's history as a city spans over two and a half thousand years, as one of the founding cities of Western Civilisation. Rome is one of few major European cities that escaped World War II relatively intact, central Rome remains essentially Renaissance and Baroque in character.
As this is a school trip, of course we visited many historic sites.
Today we visited St. Peter's Basilica. It is located within the Vatican City. St. Peter's Basilica has the largest interior of any Christian church in the world, for 60.000 people. It is the symbolic "Mother church" of the Catholic Church and is regarded as one of the holiest Christian sites.
We also visited Castel Sant'Angelo today, which is a mausoleum for the Roman Emperor Hadrian and his family. The building was later used as a fortress and castle, and is now a museum. It was finished in the year 139 (no, there isn't missing a "1"). Seven more Emperors are buried here.
That was enough education for today.
Bye
Barney
