home, Canada - 1st January 2010
By: whiskeydoodles
Great news! Next week I will be going to Australia to stay with mallee_chick. She is going to show me kangaroos and other wonderful things from down under
Right now I am packing my things and getting ready to be shipped out to Australia for my first big adventure! I'm so excited and so is my mummy. I will miss Canada and my mummy but when I come back I will have lots of things to share with her!
No pictures until I reach my destination so goodbye for now

Griffith NSW, Australia - 28th January 2010
By: mallee chick
Well, finally I have arrived in Australia. That was a long flight and I am very jet lagged and out of shape. I know us bears hibernate, but at least we still get some fresh air and some room to roll over. There wasn't much of that on that flight!
But I'm not complaining. My new host has put me in a cool spot in the house while I sleep for a bit and get back into shape. My host says that it is not very hot today - it is only 37 degrees. That's hot for me in my coat.
I know I'll feel better tomorrow.

Store Creek, Australia - 13th March 2010
By: mallee chick
We've had an eventful few weeks here.
We went for a walk at Store Creek in Cocoparra National Park. It's really dry here. There was no water in the creek. It would be nice to see some. But it doesn't rain much and when it does the road to get to the area is impassable.
It was also a bit hot when we went, so there wasn't much to see and i got a bit cranky in my big furry coat.
Later that day it did rain. It poured and poured and poured. There was even some hail for a little bit. Johanna said that this was the best rain she'd seen for many years. There was 48 mm in the guage. See, I said that it didn't rain much here.
And while we were watching the rain, we saw the power lines short out. There were sparks and flames and then we had no power!
So we read by candle light and drank wine. We read the biography of Australia's current best cyclist.
I had a headache in the morning.

Johanna and I went out scouting for locations for geocaches this week. All the land is really flat (that's why its good for irrigation), but there are a few hills.
We hid three geocaches - all at places that give visitors a view of the countryside.

Moravian Karst, Czech Republic - 6th April 2010
By: dzejna
Hello mummy!
Today I reached my new destination - Moravian Karst in the Czech Republic. I was so happy to get out of the envelope. There were many toys giving me a welcome, it was very nice. Crispin and his friends introduced themselves as my guides for the stay.
There are also two other toyvoyagers in the house at the moment. ThomasHH is here for about a week and then Apelsinas - who will be going home in couple days.
My host dzejna told me a little about plans for my stay... I think we will have a good time. Now we are listening to soundtrack of Wicked and we will go to bed soon, cause I am really tired. But I insisted on doing this update, so you know I am ok...
Love, Dickens!

Namest na Oslavou, Brno, Czech Republic - 9th May 2010
By: dzejna
Hi mum!
Today was a very busy day. Our host had to work, even if it is Sunday. She went to visit a car race. Although it was business trip, she took us too! We had not much time to wonder around, but we do have some images. Take a look!
Much later in the afternoon we headed to the ZOO, besause my friend ThomasHH would like so see a real giraffe so much, so we wanted to help him with this. But we were unfortunate - the giraffes were not alowed to go out today, it wasnt warm enough. What a shame.
But we did take pictures of other aminals, even a polar bear But he was a bit far... well never mind, because now I am the big bear on the picture, not him
Sorry for the turtle pictures, the light was awful in that pavilion...
Bye mum, miss you!
