Travelog for: Splash+Snuggles

Hello TV community!

We are two welsh rats, Splash and Snuggles, and we are here to have many naughty adventures! hihi



Look at us, we are the most beautiful rats around!





You might have seen some of our sibblings somewhere. We were created by IKEA and our mission is to take over the World... hehe



This was our first time outside...it was very sunny...we were confused...



Than we catched the train home. The views were quite nice.



Once we got home we were immediately the target of the curiosity of a malevolous cat called Gucci. 

     

But later on we took our revenge:



Hihihi. Ratty goodbyes, until next time,

S&S               

Hello again TV mates!

Our first night in a human home was quite pleasant. Not bad for a first step to rule the World! 

Today we went for a walk around town. Shamefully we didn't have access to a decent transportation vehicle. We were planning a coach with some sort of sunlight protection and cold drinks catering service.
Instead we were just rudely put into a leather female bag and carried around like that!



"Hey, Penvmbra, we're here. We're more important than this uninteresting book you're reading!" No luck! 



We are in the Bute Park, apparently to catch a boat! Wow, a boat! Our ancestrals had to swim in freezing waters to survive and we are travelling in a boat! How exciting, hihi
We wonder where the boat is going to take us though...





We found a very beautiful and weird tree in the park. This tree is completely different from the others! We reckon it was carved by some of our sibblings (we have powerful teeth) as a symbol of our world domination.



Yay, we rule the treee, hehe



The boat is coming through under that bridge. Off we go...



Let's go peek at the window:



Oh, poor splash lost his balance:



Splash: "I feel so riversick!"



Finally we arrived! We are at Cardiff Bay! 



Hihi, see you later folks.

S&S

We're back again! 
And we are terribly hungry! 

So we went for the first time to a typical british pub.



And we met another ToyVoyager!!!  It is Migui+Gui.



We didn't know what to order, but we heard Fish and Chips are sort of a traditional dish so we went for it. It was pretty good, but by the end our bellies had doubled the size...



Them we went to Margam Park, what an awsome and beautiful place...





Penvmbra and some friends were having a photoshoot there.



Some of its inhabitants were quite scary, though.



It was a great walk, we recommend all rats to visit there! =)

S&S

We are travelling by airplane! How awsome is that?



The only flying adventures we ever heard on our mouse community was about poor fellows who have been picked by eagles of owls... 

Anyway, we seem to be pretty safe here (no one seems to stare as us with predator instincts) and we're heading to
Lisbon.



Wow, Lisbon is much hotter than Cardiff.
We are now near the Hieronymites Monastery, a World Heritage Site. The architecture is stunning, pity it is in clear need of some restoration.



There is a garden across the road.



And also across the road, but a bit more on the right, there is the Berardo Collection Museum, a collection of contemporary art with some extraordinary pieces.
We could definitely rule a world like this...

Here we are with Penvmbra's brother in front of the museum.



The front door.





We can see the Monument of Discoveries from the museum's terrace.



The museum's garden:







And now, the art pieces:



















S&S

Today is so hot that we only went out by the end of the afternoon to a open air bar.
This bar is called 'The Train' and its chairs are seats from old trains.
We found a little house with glass walls that seemed perfect for us so we decided to explore:





Nah, we've reached the conclusion that we we are to rule the World, we can't live in such a small place...it was quite confy, though...



S&S

Today we went to the Buddha Eden Garden, a bit north of Lisbon.



It is basically a huge garden with lots of statues of Buddha and other zen japanese figures.



We are meditating...a new discovery for us.



Those guys are scary... 









It was very pleasant...for a day we were not naughty! 

S&S

Did you know that we are replicas of two real (as if we weren't real, bah) rats?



Penvmbra have fostered two rats for a couple of weeks and she found then so cute that she named us after them.



You can see photos and videos of the original Splash and Snuggles here:

We are now in the Santa Maria island, in the Azores.



There are amazing beaches here:



The Azores is the only place in Europe that produced tea!
They produce other things as well, as for example this orange-based drink.



We were hosted at Penvmbra's father's house. The house has many centenary objects and traditional handcraft stuff as well.









We loved being there, now we are looking forward to new adventures!

Hi Mum

Sorry for the delay in updating :-(

We arrived safe and sound in Darlington and we where happy to see we where not alone, there was anotrher tv here called Annabell.

We got to torment the cat Dexter before he tried to eat us so Lola took us away and keeps us in her study away from Dexter. He is a big mean cat!!!!

Today we went on a train ride to a place called the metro centre, we liked riding on the train. Lola also took along Julianna, HelgaHH and Annabell. We went round lots of shops, and bought lots of things. We went into the Walls Icecream shop and we so wanted to eat lots ofr icecream but the machine was broke so we has to leave without nothing.

It was cold and windy today so we where glad that the metro centre is all inside.

We have just got back to Lolas house now and they have ordered a Pizza for tea from Dominos Pizza shop and she said we call all have a peice, mmmm yummy.

Will update again soon, we are going to work with Lola tomorrow so she said she will take some pictures of us being very mischevious around her office, hehehe

Bye for now

Miss you lots

Hi Mum

Today we went to work with with Lola and we had lots of fun. She works in an office and it was empty today, only her in her department.

We got to meet a mouse, only it was not the kind of mouse we expected!!!!

We got to play with the phones, type on the key board and had lots of fun until Splash decided to be mean to me :-(

First he said this machine was to give me a massage, and he said to put my head in and it wouldnt hurt a bit. Well it did hurt, it hurt lots and lots and i was very upset. The he said that the cup was empty and if i climbed onto the side and jumped off he would catch me, only it wasnt empty and i got all wet from water (not really lol) so i was not very happy with Splash. I was so annoyed i hit him with a spoon which made me feel so much better.

When Lola went on her lunch break we decided to play an game of limbo only i think HelgaHH is a bit to big and it going to knock it down hehe it was good fun though.

We are back to Lolas now and we are in her study while she has a bath and then going to make tea.

Miss you lots

Splash & Snuggles

Hi Mum

We have been having lots of fun at Lolas, sorry we have not updated you in a while, Lola is having computer problems. She will have lots of photos to upload of us this week.

Yesterday we went to a place called Middleton Riding School where Lola helps to teach Horse riding to kids. It was great, we where not aloud to take any pictures while we where in the riding school which was a bummer but we still had fun. We got to sit on a horse called Bianca. They had some puppies aswell, they did not have any names yet but the mummy puppy was called Rita and they are French Bulldogs.

Today we went on a visit to Lolas mums house and we had fun. We took her dog on a walk in the country and saw lots of field, then we went conker picking which was very much fun. There was a football match going on in the nearby stadium and we got a picture next to the stadium which was wicked. We also got to meet Lolas mums tortoises, she has two.

Lola said she will be uploading some pictures of us on our walk and while we where with the tortoises later this evening, we got to clib trees any everything it was fab.

Bye for now

Miss you lots

Hey we just want to update and say we are now in a place called Stockton which is in Teeside, United Kingdom.

We where sent in a parcel with a few other voyagers to a ladies house who was not expecting us. She was very suprised when she opened the parcel to see all us toys waiting to come out.

She was able to see where we came from because one of the toys in the parcel has a toy voyagers tag on. So she joined the website and is letting all the toys owners know they are safe.

Lorraine who has us at the moment needs to know where to send us to because she unfortunaly is unable to look after us. She has got a new baby who is 3 weeks all called Emily and a 2 year old called Evie and because she was not expecting us she is not ready to host us right now. She did say in the future she would love to take part in hosting which is nice.

Evie gave us cuddles which was nice :-)

It is very cold here and it started to snow earlier so we are all snuggled up warm next to the radiator.

Yeaaaahhh .. we arrived!
Our new host took a few photos and she´ll show them soon but first we wanna send greetings home!!
here is everything nice and we enjoy Germany!
Photos will follow in the next days

Wow... hey ...
We enjoy our time in Germany.
Let us show you something

First of all we met our new friend "Archer" he is also a rodent but we dont speak the same rodent language.
With our hands and rat-tail we try to speak

The next animals we saw were guinea pigs.
Our host has 3 cute guinea pigs... but we missed the tails.... strange.
Splash was more curios and Snuggles a little bit afraid
No, this is not true, mommy 
Yeaaahhh, it is ... hahaha 

I just need to eat and the piggies were nice and let me
No, they just were perplexed



the little piggie was so afraid.. so we just said hello and gone out of the cage... we dont need to stay in cages
We are gentle
