Heidelberg, Germany - 27th September 2011
By: nuriayasmin
This is my last day at home, tomorrow I'm travelling to Finland. Therefore Mum decided to make muffins. Our tv guest Nook and I helped her to find all ingredients we needed.
The dough looked quite tasty.
I couldn't wait for the muffins to be ready.
Nook and I shared a muffin and also had a cup of tea.
Afterwards I got serious with my language learning. Mum is studying Slovak and she taught me the numbers from 1 to 10:
1 - jeden, 2 - dva, 3 - tri, 4 - štyri, 5 - päť, 6 - šesť, 7 - sedem, 8 - osem, 9 - deväť, 10 - desať.
I hope my Finnish host will teach me some Finnish.

Here I go, My envelope is ready and I'm saying good-bye to Nook who was such a nice companion during the last couple of days. Hope to meet him again one day but I'm also looking forward to meeting other TV's.
Seems to be okay inside here. I'm going to sleep and hopefully the journey to Finland won't take too long. Bye!

Helsinki, Finland - 30th September 2011
By: Eohippus
Hei, äiti!
That´s the first sentence of finnish I´ve learned!
It means "Hi, mother!".
I was in deep sleep inside my envelope the whole way here from Germany. We hedgehogs hibernate anyway half of the year, so it is no trouble for me to sleep happily for days, to make the time go faster.
I only woke up when I heard impatient, demanding little voices shouting "Open it! Open the envelope NOW!!! We wanna see who´s inside!!!"
And then my envelope was opened.
I roamed out, and saw three other toyvoyagers staring at me.
They looked very nice!
From left to right, they were Zoe, Kirin and Torsten
I gave them the presents I brought with me, and they asked to send their thanks to you, mum!
The chocolate was very good!
I was showing my travel card to my new host Henna, who was admiring it, and said it was a nice idea.
Only then I had time to wonder about my whereabouts!
I was on a train. Henna was on her way to uni in Helsinki, and had taken the envelope from the post box on her way to the busstop.
I was watching the views from the train window.
My host told me that sadly she had to go and bury herself into the uni library for whole day, but that maybe I could go to see a bit around in Helsinki with the other toyvoyagers, who allready knew the place rather well.
That sounded great!
So my new friends took me on a small sightseeing.
Zoe even rolled a "megaphone" out of a newspaper, and was then shouting "facts" about the sights we saw..
but I have a doubt if all the facts really were facts.
This is just a streetview from a street called Mannerheimintie.
This guy riding a horse is Mannerheim, who, according to our turist guide was famous about "his warm attitudes towards kiwi birds".
Torsten whispered to me that actually the guy was somekind of war hero.. well, I liked Zoes kiwi-bird-friend version more too!
This is the finnish parliament house, although it has some other, more interesting names is spoken language, I was informed.
This fountain is next to the parliament house.
And here we have more Helsinki streetview.
Then we saw these beautiful flowers.
I was checking if there happened to be any earthworms, but no..
Behind the flowerpot was the finnish national museum.
I was sitting for a while on the lap of an urbanized bear..
We came into a park, called Taivallahden puisto.
The autumn is already coloring the leaves here and the trees are very beautiful!
Ooo, the dry leaves on the ground made my nest building instincts wake up!
My wild relatives must be already building their nests to sleep the vinter in.
We sat for awhile resting in a park called Sibelius-puisto after a famous finnish composer Sibelius.
I was talking with Zoe, and we found out we share some common interests, like some favorite foods - snails, earthworms and insects, for example.
This is Sibelius monument, very popular turist attraction, it seems.
It brought to my mind icicles hanging from a rock in vinter forest.
Who says hedgehogs cannot climb a tree?
We walked still to peep a bit over the sea.
Then we came to our home here in Nuuksio, but it was already rather dark when we got here.
Here are waiting for the bus in Leppävaara.
We saw fields and forest.. the nearer we got, the greener it was.
Henna lives in a small cottage in middle of forest.
Here is the cottage where we live here!
The nearest neighbors are kilometers away, there is no running water, but a good well, the forest around is full of mushrooms and berries, and I´m already in love with it all!
I´m sure there is some hedgehogs around too. Henna told me there is elks and bears in the forest, and she is feeding deers, foxes, raccoon dogs, squirrels and badgers on her yard. And an enormous amount of birds.
Now I go with the others, theu are going to show me around here!
I´ll write soon again!
Terveisin Melek (Greetings, Melek)

Helsinki, Finland - 5th October 2011
By: Eohippus
Hyvää iltaa, äiti! (= Good evening, mother!)
As you can see I´m already learning some finnish, mum! I can then teach some for you too!
I have been already seeing lots of things.
One day we went to Helsinki.
The train took us to the main railwaystation, which is behind me in the pic.
And then we took a tram.
I was watching the Helsinki city trough the window.
Helsinki is the capital of Finland, and although there is many other towns in Finland, Henna says most of them are so small they are much smaller than villages in most Europe..
We were asked to Hennas mothers place to have coffee and cakes!
In finnish coffee is "kahvi".
I met a somewhat grumpy cat, who was on top of a high closet.
And I also met some toys, but they were not voyagers..
After some time we wanted to go out again, to see more things.
So we walked towards the city center.
This is "Suurkirkko" - the main lutheral cathedral in Helsinki.
Then we went to see "Kauppatori", the market square.
They were selling lots of different mushrooms.
Now there was the annual herring fair going on.. lots of stands selling herring products.
"Silakka" = herring
The harbour was full of fishermens boats, selling herring straight from the boats.
This old lighthouse ship was working as a restaurant.
It looked nice, but we waned to be in open air, when the sun was shining.
We climbed a hill.
to see the Uspenski orthodox cathedral.
We peeped a bit in too, but they didn´t like photographing there.
So we walked along the shoreline.
These are big icebreakers, which keep the harbours an main ship routes open during vinter, when the sea ice can be over a meter thick.
This is an old sea mine. After war they were cleaning hundreds of these from the sea bottom.
We saw some rowans full of berries.
This is a life saving boat.
Now I stop and go to sleep.
Next time I propably know already some numbers in finnish!
Henna promised to teach me!
Kisses from Melek

Porkkala, Kirkkonummi, Finland - 10th October 2011
By: Eohippus
Hei taas, äiti! (Hi again, mother!)
Your little hedgehog has been very industriously trying to learn finnish numbers!
I can now repeat the numbers in a queue from 1 to 10, but it is much more difficult to remember them without repeating the whole queue! But I´ll learn!
Here they are:
1 yksi
2 kaksi
3 kolme
4 neljä
5 viisi
6 kuusi
7 seitsemän
8 kahdeksan
9 yhdeksän
10 kymmenen
So, nowadays I´m counting everything in finnish.
In this pic there are "kaksi sientä" (two mushrooms).
In this pic there is too many mushrooms! I can´t count so big numbers yet!
"Yksi mökki". (one cottage) here.
Here is "kolme ystävää" (three friends) covering me with dry leaves, when I wanted to test how it would feel to hibernate in a pile of leaves like finnish hedgehogs do during the vinter.
Here is "yksi siili" (one hedgehog) nesting.
Phew! That was enough of counting for this day!
I´ll count some more next time.
Here I am on the rocks in the seashore in Porkkala, where we drowe one day to watch the wawes after a very stormy night.
It was very beautiful, but also a bit chilly there, so we decided to build a fire and make some coffee.
Here it is cooking allready.
I´m keeping an eye on the fire while the others went to find more firewood, and also keeping myself warm.
Then we were having choc. cookies with coffee!
I went to investigate a bit our surroundings.. there was a very mossy pine forest.
And from there I found these suppilovahveros (Cantharellus tubaeformis), out of which it is possible to made excellent dishes.
I ate one straight away.
On our way home I photographed these sunflowers for you, mum!
See you soon again!

Störsvik, Siuntio, Finland - 18th October 2011
By: Eohippus
Hyvää päivää, äiti! (Good day, mother!)
Our host Henna has been in some exams this week, and while she was there we toys went to see the Helsinki university main library.
It was a very beautiful building.
Here is the library from outside.
In finnish library is kirjasto. It is derived from the word kirja which means "a book"
Here we are inside the library.
The building is from the year 1845. Before that the library and the whole university was situated in Turku, but the whole city of Turku was destroyed in a fire, and after that the uni and the library moved into Helsinki.
The ceilings are decorated with colorful paintings.
There was going on a exhibition about Finnish cartoon. The black figures behind me are hedgehog characters from a cartoon called Kiroileva siili, which means "Cursing hedgehog". I was trying to learn some finnish cursewords, but Henna wasn´t cooperative.
There is five floors in the library, and lots of staircases going to this and that direction. The whole place is like a maze.
The rows of books looked almost endles.
What? Are you asking if I have remembered to use the finnish numbers? Of course, mum!
In this pic you can see Yhdeksän sinistä kirjaa. (Nine blue books).
After leaving the library we went for a trip in the nature.
We were driwing towards the seashore, but stopped in a small place named Koski in Siuntio to see a small rapid.
The buildings behind me is the old manor house (the big stone building far behing me) and its watermill and dam.
Here is the little rapid in the Siuntionjoki river.
There is the little water mill using the power of the rapid.
Koski is part of the area which belonged to Soviet Union for some years after the second World War.
The soviet troops where using the manor house, and they had been sribbling to the walls of some of the buildings.
None of us here can read russian, so we don´t know what´s written there.
Here is some other houses on the riverside.
We went into a place called Störsvik on the seashore.
I was watching over the sea..
And then I climbed a tree to see even farer away.
We were enjoying the rare glimpse of sun laying in the fluffy lichen.
Then we were walking round the area and watching the views.
Then we drowe along small forest roads to see a lake.
It was a swamp lake, the shores were full of wonderfully smelling suopursu (Rhododendron tomentosum).
The water was very high.
The swamp was also full of granberries, karpalo in finnish. They were very good.
There is cranes nesting on the lake - they love karpalos too.
We spent rest of the evening sitting round the fire, telling stories.
Now I´ll go to bed, mum.
See you soon again!
Kisses from Melek

Laranjeiro, Portugal - 28th October 2011
By: Eohippus
Olá, mãe! (Hello, mother!) Greetings from Portugal!
Well, this doesn´t look much like Portugal, hmm? This is last pic we took in Finland in the morning before we left to the airport. It was the first time when the ground was white.
Good time to head for warmer locations!
We came to the airport and get happily trough the security control.. although the security guy was a bit suspicious about my spikes.
We checked when our flight was going to be, it was late almost two hours.
We were running around and watching the planes and all activity going on there.
At last we get into air!
It was great to watch the clouds, and the landscape, like a map, running under us. We flew over Germany and I was wawing to you, mum!
When we came here it was already rather late and dark - we had to change the planes one time and the second flight was late too.
So we went straight to bed.
This pic is from the next morning, showing the first impression of the surroundings, photographed from the balcony.
Then we started our introduction to the local culture by eating local food, like this wonderful melon.
And chicken peas. They grow lot of them here in Portugal.
Not to speak of the wonderful olives!
Njamm njamm!
We went for a walk to the area near by.
The place we are living here is a small town called Almada, in the shore of the river Tejo, just opposite Lisbon.
In the pic is some old houses, the last ones to be demolished to make room for the "Developement".
This is a fig tree.
Couldn´t see any figs, though.
And here behing me is an eucalyptus tree. It smelled wonderfully.
We have not seen yet much of Lisbon, because Henna has been sitting in a library like a mole, but we´ve had some glimpses of it, and today we are going to see more!
This is a streetview from central Lisbon.
Here we are doing some window shopping. The chestnuts looked like little hedgehogs to me.
Here we are drooling.
And here is the Lisbon town hall.
Now we are going to invade Lisbon!
See you again, mum! I´ll try to learn some portuguese numbers soon.
Your Melek

Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, Lisbon, Portugal - 8th November 2011
By: Eohippus
Bom dia, mãe amada! (Good day, beloved mother)
We have been somewhat busy here. Henna has dived deep into the archaeological library and it is a hard task to dig her out from there again, so we have been mainly having adventures by our own.
When we want to go to Lisbon, we have to take a ferry over the river Tejo. We live on the southern bank of the river, and Lisbon is on the opposite side to us.
On sunny days the trip with a ferry is very nice experience, but on stormy weather (which we have lot now in autumn) the trip can be like a driwe in a rollercoaster - even nicer! At least for us toyvoyagers. Henna looks sometimes lightly green.
One day we took the ferry to the Lisbon side of the river and then walked to a part of the town called Belem.
It was a nice walk, about 5 km from the Cais Sodre ferry station, and we were admiring the very various architecture while walking.
It is a tradition here to pave the walls of houses with fantastical tiles.
Then we came to Belem. Here we are in the gardens of the Jerónimos monastery.
This is the first glimpse we saw of the monastery itself.. we went nearer to see it better.
The monastery was classified in 1983 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and no wonder!
Originally, the monastery was home for the Hieronymite religious order, and it was built by the Infante Henry the Navigator around 1459.
Vasco da Gama and his men spent the night there before departing on their expedition to the Orient in 1497.
"The monastery was designed in a style that later became known as Manueline: a richly ornate architectural design that includes complex sculptural themes incorporating maritime elements and objects discovered during naval expeditions, carved in limestone" says wikipedia.
Yeah, the walls are full of all sorts of funny creatures.
Just look at all the figures surrounding the old main entrance, mum!
The monastey is so big it is impossible to get it all into one pic.
Then we went in.
Near the entrance we saw the tomb of Luís Vaz de Camões (c. 1524 –1580), who is considered Portugal's and the Portuguese language's greatest poet.
His main work is "Lusiadas". Later on also the portuguese royalty was buried here.
The huge pillars were carved allover and none of the pillars is identical with the others. I'm sure the people who made these ornaments had lots of fun!
[The portuguese expeditors brought shiploads of gold robbed from the "new" discovered lands and a certain percentage belonged to the monastery, who used it for example to these golden decorations of saints.
I find the whole thing somewhat absurd.. the golden gods of a religion are melted and formed into gods of another religion..
We went out again to enjoy the free skies.
I try to write soon again!
Beijinhos do Melek (kisses from Melek)

Ceisto Rei, Almada, Portugal - 11th November 2011
By: Eohippus
Olá de novo, mamã! (Hello again, mum!)
It has been raining many days and we sat in the library helping Henna in her studies like good little toyvoyagers.
But enough is enough, when the sun show up we escaped from the library trough a window..
[size=2We walked trough Almada. You can see the river Tejo behind the kitchen gardens and houses. [/size]
It is late autumn here too, mum, but it is a bit hard to believe!
This is the wall of a kindergarten.
I've already learned some numbers in portuguese!
1 = um/uma
2=dois/duas
3= trés
We came to the Tejo riverfront and saw the bridge that connects Almada to Lisbon.
We sat admiring the view over the river.
But then we noticed someone standing high up over this grey building..
We bought tickets and went up there too with an elevator.
We could see very far from there.
And we met the fellow who we had spotted standing up there. He told he was Cristo Rei and he had been standing there since 1951.
He said he was very happy to meet us - it was a long time since he had last seen cute plushies.
In this pic you can see the shadow of our new friend.
We spend there quuite a long time, trying to recognice some places we have been seeing from the bird perspective.
Then we said goodby to our new friend and went down again to see the little chapel there.
Outside was growing some olive trees.
We felt kinda hungry and went into a bar to eat something small..
And to taste some local wines.
We were singing a lot, even some fados, with some nice local people, and it was somewhat late when we got back home.
See you soon again, mum!
Kisses from Melek

Walking in Lisbon, Portugal - 15th November 2011
By: Eohippus
Bom dia, mãe amada! (Good day, beloved mother!)
Isn´t it just amazing how fast your little hedgehog adaptates into new linguistic surroundings, huh, mum?
I´ve been practising the portuguese numbers from 1 to 10 and I think I would now know them even in my dreams.
So, here they are:
1 um/uma (depends on the linguistical sex of the things we are counting)
2 dois/duas
3 três
4 quatro
5 cinco
6 seis
7 sete
8 oito
9 nove
10 dez
But now I´m going to show you some sights from Lisbon, mum.
When we come to Lisbon by ferry and start to walk towards the centrum, the first turistically interesting sight to be seen is Praça do Comércio where I´m standing in this pic.
Originally it was where the royal palace was located, but the palace was destroyed in earthquake and tsunami at 1755. After that the area served as the Lisbon commercial center.
The statue in middle of the square is King José I.
Here is Cais das colunas, which was the original place where the traveller ships left over Tejo to Almada and Setubal and other locations.
This is Arco da Rua Augusta, which shows some important characters of Portuguese history.
These houses surrounding the square are where were the headquarters of the big companies who where shipping for example spices and other stuf from the colonies.
Praça do comércio is also where the turistical trams start their rounds.
The trams are very old and cute and have many wooden parts inside. The turist trams are red, while the normal trams are yellow, and the price in the yellow ones is much cheeper but the views are just as great.
Here I´m riding in one.
Walkin along Rua Augusta we come to another important square called Rossio. The Rossio has been a meeting place for people of Lisbon for centuries. Some of the cafés and shops of the square date from the 18th century.
Most streets in Lisbon are paved with chalk stone cubicles, which in the centrum area form beautiful mosaic patterns.
This is Elevador de Santa Justa.
It connects the lower streets of the Baixa with the higher Largo do Carmo and it was opened at 1905.
Lisbon is built over seven hills and is full of very demanding stairs and deep streets.
Of course at this time of year it is easier, but at summertime when there sometimes is +40 degrees I can just imagine how it feels to climb those hills.
This is another type of lifts connectings the lower and higher parts of the city - Ascensor da Bica.
This is Sé, the main cathedral in Lisbon.
It´s building started at 1147 when the city of Lisbon was reconquered from the moors.
After it there has been many more building periods , and it suffered too badly in the year 1755 earthquake.
There was some orange trees growing in the corner of the Sé, and I got rather exited, even if the oranges where still unripe. I´d never before seen an orange tree!
Três laranjas! (Three oranges)
We peeped in to the cathedral.
There was some interesting stone carvings.
Indeed.
Before the catedhral was built there was the main mosque of the moors on its place, and before that there were mediaeval streets with little shops.. and before that there was an iron age town.
There has been excavations going on since 1990´s.
We were watching the excavation site from this and that perspective.. running after Henna who was making little sounds of utter exitement like a small squirrel.
We came out again and continued our sightseeing.
We saw many interesting looking narrow alleys..
Lisbon is an amazing city because it has so many different timelayers.. the oldest streets are from roman times.
There has been many earthquakes, although the history usually only remembers the latest one, and the city has always been just built anew over the ruins, using parts of the old buildings.. so in many places there is bits of roman walls in the 19th century buildings.
This is pic is taken from a nice viewpoint called Portas do Sol - although there wasn´t much sol (sun) when we were there.
But there was fantastical flowers.
And a beaytiful passageway with tiled walls.
There was also a statue of St. Vincent, the city's patron saint, holding a boat with two ravens, the symbols of Lisbon.
Which is a bit odd, come to think of it.. I´ve not managed to see even one single raven nor crow nor magpie nor jackdaw in Lisbon. Blackbirds, yes, and lots of pigeons everywhere, but not any crow related birds..
We passed by Panteão Nacional.
It is a church from the 17th century, but it was turned into a national pantheon in the 20th century, in which important Portuguese personalities are buried. Like famous writers or politicians and such.
We saw still one great view over the city from a viewpoint called Miradouro da Braça.
It was starting to get dark, though, and we satrted to walk homewards.
We walked trough a nice little park.
The old guys like to sit here in the evenings playing dominoes, but now it is too chilly for them, hah, "only" 20 degrees.
When we came home we had some choc cake.
I go to have some more!
Kisses from Melek

Walking on the beach, Cascais, Portugal - 16th November 2011
By: Eohippus
Olá de novo, mãe!
See this wonderful dish, mum?
It is made of asparagus and it is simply heavenly.
A traditional dish from Alentejo area.. njam njam!
But now I´m going to put here some pics from the Cascais beach where we went for a walk.
It is about 30 kilometers to Cascais from Lisbon.
So first we took a train there.
When we get there we headed straight to the beach.
The weather was just great - sunny and windy.
While walking we were reading a leaflet about Cascais.
Cascais was originally a small fishing village, but nowadays it is one of the richest municipalities in Portugal.
During summer it is full of turists.
It all chanced when King Luís II decided to turn the citadel of Cascais into his summer residence. From 1870 to 1908, the Royal Family came to Cascais to enjoy the sea, turning the somnolent fishing village into a cosmopolitan address.
]"The citadel gained electric light in 1878, the first in the country, thanks to King Luís. The village gained better roads to Lisbon and Sintra, a casino, a bullfight ring, a sport club, and improvements in the basic infrastructure for the population. The railway arrived in 1889. Many noble families built beautiful mansions in Cascais, as can still be seen in the centre and surroundings of the town."
Well, anyway that´s the reason why Cascais is what it is now - a place where the upper class "tias" (aunties) have their residences and where the hotel owners want to build their new enterpraises.
In summertime the place is totally inendurable, but now it was nicely empty and peaceful.
So, we were walking and enjoying the peace, the wind and the wawes.
The pics are all rather similar..
We built a sand castle.. we were a bit peckish, maybe that is why it looks more like a cake.
These wonderful daisies are for you, mum.
There was also palm trees..
We walked onwards until a big new hotel blocked our route.
The shoreline after that was almost totally blocked by private yards and we could only got couple of glimpses to the sea.
We walked a bit towards inland to see more nature and saw these wonderful aloes.
This is an old windmill, but it doesn´t have wings anymore..
Here I´m climbing on a cork tree!
And here we are hanging in a cactus.
We saw many beautiful things..
but it started to get dark again.
So we returned home where we devoured a passion fruit.
Boa noite e beijinhos do Melek! (Good night and kisses from Melek)

Nuuksio, Finland - 25th November 2011
By: Eohippus
Hei äiti!
We are in Finland again. Actually we have been here already almost a week, but Henna has been mainly laying on the bed bottom, blowing her nose every 3 seconds and eating vitamin C and being in rather bad mood..
Outside it has not been any more cheerful - it just rains and rains and rains, and oh how it is dark!
The sun rises around 9.00 in the morning and sets already around 15.30, and because it is cloudy all the time we have not seen her (the sun) at all!
So we poor toyvoyagers have been left to amuse ourselves as well as possible!
Here we are having a little snack and enjoying the light of candles against the darknes.
Today the rain ceased for couple of hours and we used those hours to our advantage, left Henna to sneeze in her bed and went for a walk.
I´m happy we have not got her flue!
We were a bit too late, anyway.
The sun set very soon, and we lit a fire and sat enjoying its warmth.
At Lappland, northern Finland, the sun rises at 11.20 and set at 12.28. Very soon it doesn´t rise anymore at all.
Can you imagine living in a place where the sun doesn´t rise, mum?
And how was it in the past, before the elecric lights.. it is hard to even imagine.
We sat there for some time, but then the rain started again, it had just been collecting new strength, maybe having a cup of coffee, who knows.. anyway, we came back here and now we are going to try to cheer Henna up by singing her some naughty songs!
I wish you have nicer weather there, mum!
Hug from Melek
