Travelog for: Phillip O-Feld

Dear mum,

today the host showed us "Paris at night" atmosphere. We went in the evening to see all the lights and nightlife in Paris. It was awesome. Just before dark we went to the Arc de Triomphe and then walked down the Champs Elysées to the Concorde where we saw the obelisk and the Eiffel Tower (from a distance). Then we walked through the Jardin de Tuileries to Louvre. It was so impressive. But it was also very far so we slept all night like babies.

Tomorrow we will visit the Eiffel tower!

Dear mum.

finally the day D arrived and I visited the Eiffel tower. It is soooo big and beautiful. It is such an amazing feeling to be standing under the metal construction. And whats more there is this huge parc, where one can do a lovely picknick (as we did).

And then just a few blocks away there is another beautiful building Les Invalides - it a church and a hospital for war veterans. And there is the tomb of Napoleon!!! Maybe thats why it has a golden roof.

And then, we went to Montmartre. That is a district in Paris with all sorts of artists - it is like a small village in the city. We saw painters at the place de Tertre and also musicians and comedians. The only drawback is that the district is on a very steep hill so we had to walk up many many many many many stairs to get to the very top. But then there was this beautiful Basilica Sacre Coeur which is also very famous and very pretty.

We are preparing for another big adventure. We are going for a short trip to Cyprus. We are all packed and ready to go.

The first day of our adventure we decided to visit the capital Nicosia the last divided capital city in the world. It is an interesting mixture of Greek orthodox, catholic, colonial and muslim architecture. We stopped by the Sulimiye mosque in the Turkish part of Nicosia. It was originally a cathedral but it was changed into the mosque in the 16th century.

Next to it we saw an interesting atique shop where we decided to take a group photo 

Today was a day off. We relaxed. We decided to see the pool. It was nice and sunny and the pool was clean and we wanted to jump into but it was soooo cold. No wonder, in the middle of January.  At least we played pool games.

Then we went to the beach. It was a lot warmer than the pool. There were pebbles all over and I felt at home.

The last day of our short trip we visited Kyrenia - an important port and an interesting tourist destination. In the old Harbour we saw many yachts, ships and speedboats. Moreover there are old colonial houses arounf the harbour and medieval castle at its end. Impressive.

After we left our two TV companion at Prague it started to be a little lonely but today, a new TV arrived from Germany. His name is Tedi.

It was a happy meeting and the host took us ice skating. There was quite a lot of people so we did not stay for too long.

Instead we decided to visit Buttes Chaumont, a lovely parc not too far from where the host lives. It is an artificial parc with a lake, bridges and even a look out tower dating from the 19th century.

Today is my last day in Paris. Tomorrow I will set off for a new adventure and leave my host with a new TV who will replace me. As a farewell we threw up a huge party where we invited all other toys (even those that are not travelling). We also thought of Krtecek who left only his hat behing (in the middle of the picture) and the new TV was so excited he started riding a caterpillar. It was a lovely evening for all of us.

Hello Mum,

today I arrived in Sülfeld. A friendly bunny - called Dicker Kumpel - gave me a warm welcome.



Then he introduced me to his other guests.



I said hello - and I showed my postcard - and my nice cap.



It was dark outside, so I played in the flowers inside.





I think that I will love it here.

Bye
Phillip

Hello Mum,

We had snow outside, so we decided to leave our chair and made a walk around Sülfeld.

Look – there was snow  - it looked like winter!



We are in the North of Germany and there are not many big hills here. So the children use this small mountain with their sledges.



Behind me you can see the old school. It looks nice in the snow.



The clock of the church was broken – we haven’t been there at 6 o’ clock.



Back home in the garden we wanted to do something nice in the snow. We talked a lot.



And here you can see what we created.



Then we went inside the house – and found a great place!



Love
Phillip

Hello Mum,

today I went to Hamburg with RikeH. She had to work there - and told me that there wouldn't be so many time for sightseeing. But I decided to come with her.

Here you can see me in the city.



I loved the people on the wall of the house.



This is one of the biggest shopping-streets here, called Mönckebergstraße.







We went into the main station.



And took this train.



I loved this place.



But I saw more on this great place near to the window.



It was snowy outside and the train drove really fast.





Love
Phillip

Hello Mum

Today we went to a small city called Bad Oldesloe. RikeH went to school there – many years ago.

We crossed a little river – but it was full of ice.



This was the view to the other side.



Behind me you can see the town hall.



This is the Stadthaus – we all had no idea, what is inside it.



There were many nice old houses.





Dicker Kumpel and I had a rest – but it was a little cold – sitting in the snow.



So we decided to walk to the church.



The last thing we visited was this water wheel.



Love
Phillip

Hi Mum,

Today a new ToyVoyager arrived. She is called Clairchen and visits Dicker Kumpel for the second time. She wants to come with us on a holiday.  We will go to Amrum tomorrow. But first we said Hello to Clairchen.



It will be an adventurous trip tomorrow. Can you see what we read in the web?



Here you can see it better – there is so much ice on the North Sea that not all ferries will be in use – and we cannot take the car with us.



RikeH is very sad and disappointed, but we will cheer her up!

Keep your fingers crossed for us that we will reach Amrum!

yours
Phillip

Hi Mum,

Great News – we were allowed to go on this ferry!  And we went to Amrum.



Look – there was a lot of ice on the North Sea.



Maybe they didn’t know the way and we were on the way to the North Pole.



We had fun in the restaurant and learnt that they say Moin Moin here, instead of Hello.



Love
Phillip
