Travelog for: Bruno

When Katrin came home today she was really happy. She has finished her Bachelor'S Thesis and now she has finally at lot of free time again. That's got for me and the other TVs because we hope that she will spend a lot of time with us now.

My host Katrin took me with her to Hamburg to her job in the state and university library. Today she has to fill database with a lot of new information which was not very exciting.


This is the book she is working on right now. It is a French book, the drawing on the left page shows dresses in the 18th century.


In the room I also discovered these old books. They are more than 300 years old!

The group of TVs is getting smaller and smaller. Jelle left already last week and today they said goodbye to TravelingTuffy and me.

Hello from the centre of Germany!

After my stay in the north of Germany I arrived safe here in Mechterstädt, a village of 1000 people in Thuringia.



It is very pretty here, everthing is green when you look outside the window. Unfortunately it is not very sunny right now, but I am sure we will still have fun discovering the area.



See you!

Today we started off with postcrossing. My host has been a postcrosser for over 4 years. As she was away for a week she now has to catch up with all the mail.



This afternoon we'll go to the post office and the town Waltershausen nearby.
More to come....

Hello!

Today we first went to Erfurt about 30 km away to go shopping at IKEA. It was very exhausting so I had to take a rest.



In the afternoon we went to a birthday party in Eisenach.
I met a lot of beary friends living there and we had a chat.



This hanging chair was one of the presents and I HAD to try it! It is great!

I got to know 'Puenktchen' today - the house cat or rather kitty as she's still quite small, and soooo cute.



She wanted to play with me right away.



For dinner we cook pumpkin soup today.

The ingridients ...



... have to be cut ...



cooked....



mashed...



ready! and delicious!



Guten Appetit!

For the weekend we took a trip to Bad Steben to relax, go walking, swimming...



Bad Steben is a health resort town with a huge park and garden and old spa houses.





Famous Alexander from Humboldt used to live here in this house:



We went to the little town of Liechtenberg with the castle ruin and tower...



the castle walls and view over the countryside:



The town hall of Liechternberg:



Later we went to 'Frankenwaldsee':



And took a walk through the fields. Can you see me?!





We came across a ski jump- is that high!



And last but not least we went in this cold water bath, as it is suppoed to be healthy!

Dear Mommy!  Time's passing fast.
On Monday  evening we played WII. This was a lot of fun!

We had a Mexican style dinner yesterday and it was very yummy!

Hello Mom!

Sorry for not having send a sign earlier but my host returned to work after the holidays and was busy.

Only a quick update now, more later as we went away for the weekend.

Last week we were also invited to a birthday BBQ. And here we are preparing and designing the gift, a memo board.




We enjoyed a warm summer evening (after a lot of rain lately) with a BBQ:



CU!

For the weekend we went to a youth hostel at Harsberg, near Eisenach, to attend a choir workshop.

I went by motorbike.



On arrival I had a look around the grounds and discovered all different kinds of places to stay:

Tipis


tree houses


caves


bungalows




the main building





the hangar



There were other intersting animals around - Geckos said hello!





Look at this buffet full of fruit and vegies for dinner!



And when we went home we stopped at McDonalds:



I'll move on soon, so cross your fingers that I have a safe journey!

Hi Mum

Im here with Lenny and Synapse


emo_kid decided that i needed my own id tag and i got to choose my own

So many different colours to choose from

Narrowing down the colours

I choose Blue

and I helped write it

and its done


the final product with my own neck chain


While emo_kid was in her meeting, we all checked toyvoyager and read her emails

Nothing interesting though

Then we got caught


emo_kid works next door to a resturant called the Coro. It always wins awards for its seafood and has happy hour on Fridays afterwork. We weren't allowed in, it wasn't open. So we hung out on the sign.



Meeting Itci


Having cuddles with Itci







Meeting Atila - He's not very friendly. He looks like he wants to eat me, but he didn't


Cuddles with Maximus


We all helped prepare the strawberries and sugar

And then got to eat them. Yum!!!


We're going on an adventure over the weekend and next week... Can't say to much right now.

Behind me is the Milton XXXX Brewery



Waiting for the train (punk_boi wanted to get in on the photo)


We had to be contained, we were so excited


Playing on punk_boi's skateboard




The trains approaching

We had Hungry Jack's for lunch - which is known as Buger King everywhere else, except Australia
