Travelog for: Knut

Hello world!

This is me, Knut! My family lives in Germany, a small town in the east of saxony. Yes, you are right, I have the same name, like the famous polar bear Knut, from Berlin. He was my great hero.
It's great in the middle of my family! But now I think it's time to see a little bit more than our village. It is really beautyfull here, but I think there are places in the world which are much more beautyfull.

So, here on the picture you can see me infront of my mommys notebook watching a world map. There are many places I want to visit and so I made some Life Missions.

I hope to start my travel soon! I'm so excited!

Your Knut

Hello world,

as you see on the photo I prepare for my first journey. I will start soon and I'm so excited about it. My host will be Stu1981 and I'm so happy that he will give me a home!

I hope I will have a great time!

Your Knut

Hello world,

this is me, Knut again! I'm so excited, today I start my first journey to my first hoster Stu1981. I never have been to bavaria befor. I hope I have a nice time there and hope my little surprise for Stu1981 is the right ones. I hope he like it!
Now I hear my mummy calling, she want to bring me, to the postoffice. I have to hurry, I don't want to miss the postcar.
I think my mummy is a little bit sad, to send me away, but I will give her a message soon.

I hope I have a good and fast journey!

Your Knut

Just arrived at my first host in lower Bavaria together with Joe, another ToyVoyager. I tell you, it has been really hard to travel together with some chocolate without pinching a bit of it, but somehow, I managed it.

My host is very happy about the little present and I hope, I can get a piece of it 

Now he is going to show me my accomodation for the next few days and maybe take some pictures 

Hi again!

I just took a look at my hosts home. He has got a fish-tank in here! Great thing! Fresh food all the time! 

I also found new friends already, as you can see on the other picture 

*grml* Bad weather again today... But at least it is dry outside, so my host said to me, we 're going to take a look at the village as soon as he gets his car from the repair shop later that day 

I'm just back from a trip to the surroundings of my host's home. It is all very rural here, a simple, bavarian village with lots of farming fields around.

I'm beginnig to notice, that the bavarian people are a little crazy. On a hiking trail nearby, they built a hotel for wild bees! Have you ever seen wild bees checking in on a hotel?? I took a closer look to this crazy thing and have to say: It is at most a 2-star-sleazy-hotel. How convenient is my accomodation compared to this... 

Because it's been very cold outside, we went back home after a while and my host started a fire in the wood stove for us 

Ah, tomorrow we're going to the next bigger city around, called Abensberg 

Hey there!

Now I'm in Hamburg. We arrived here last night and are going to take some pictures tomorrow 

Hi!

Today I did my first trip to the city of Hamburg 
My host took me to the harbour and the famous police department "Davidwache".

It's been very nice and I hope, I can go to the city again soon 

Hello, it's me again!
Today my host shows me a little of the first sight from the district he was born, he took me to "Schloss Bergedorf". It has been built in the 16th and 17th century and, if my host is right, it is the only castle on the territory of Hamburg. If the weather is fine one of the next days, he wants to show me the palace garden and maybe the inner courtyard of the castle.

On wednesday we're going to visit the "Miniatur Wunderland" near the harbour

Hello there!

On friday my host took me and the other TVs to a typical old sailors pub in Hamburg, called "Zum Silbersack". This pub opened in 1950 and the founder, Erna Thomsen, sometimes is still there to serve the guests. She is over 80 years old and in St. Pauli everyone only knows her as "Tante Erna". The interior is most original from the first years of the bar and on the walls there are a lot of paintings of the harbor from the 1920-1930's.

We met some friends of my host and I have to say, we had a lot of fun there

Hello world!!! 

I'm back home! After such a long time it is now time to update my travellog again! 
I'm home since a few weeks, but I hadn't much time to write anything here. I had much fun with my new friends and also a few things I told my mommy, about my journey.

But now back to the day of coming home!
When I crawl out of the envelope I saw so many other TVs... it was amazing. When I started my first journey there was nobody I could welcome, but now there were so much TVs, who welcomed me!



But also cool is... I will not stay very long at home! Tomorrow I will start my journey on the Big German Round Robin. That's cool I will see whole Germany and when I'm ready with that I will see the whole wide world! 

But now I have to prepare for my next journey!

Love
Knut

Hi world! 

The last hours or I should better say... the last minutes at home! Today I start my journey on the "Big German Round Robin", you can't believe how excited I am. I hardly sleep last night.

Today early in the morning, the other TVs who are guests of my mommy called me into the kitchen. It was hard for me not to cry, but as a big and strong polar bear it will be a little bit embarrassing to cry. They made a Goodbye committee only for me!



Then I had to prepare my envelope for the journey. It was the first time I recognized I will travel to North-Rhine-Westphalia. Mommy told me she was there one time, but this is long time ago. She also said it is really nice there, but they havn't as much snow as we have! 
Not so good for a polar bear, but I think I can handle it!



I prepared the envelope also with a little postcard and chocolate. It will be hard again to travel with this sweet temptation, but I will manage it!
I hope my new host likes the chocolate, it is a special one from saxony!



And in the end, I crawled into the envelope and my mommy closed it. I hope my trip will be fast and safe!



So good bye home and hello North-Rhine-Westphalia! 

Knut is on the road again... yeahiiiiiii!!!!

Love
Knut

Hello Mommy,

i'm arrived at Bonn, North-Rhine-Westphalia. It was a long journey because the German Post had a lot to do.
But now i'm at Bonn.
When i crawl out of the envelope, my host happily welcome me.
It was very exiting for me, because it is my first time in North-Rhine-Westphalia.
Now, I'm curious about my time in Bonn.

Lovely,
Knut

Hello Mommy,

sorry, i wasn't able to update my travel for the last days. My host was at a College in Münster and worked so hard, that he had no time for me.

Her at this school i'm for a week. It was forbidden to take pictures from the place....there are great fire engines at this place....and a lot of firemens and firewomen :-)

But now i'm back in Bonn. My host takes a walk to the "kreuzberg" where is a little chapell on the top of the hill.


When we walk around the chapell, i have a great view to the "Rhineland". In the backyard, you can see Cologne. In front is the home of my host. It's called "Endenich".




Back at the chapell i want to know why the door is open. There is a long stairway. This stairway is called "hl. Stiege" and was build in the 17.th century from Balthasar Neuman. Its an holy Place. The stairs can be climbed up only on your knees.


In the backyard yoy'll see the headquarter of the German DHL. This Tower is about 158m high. It's the highest skyscraper in North-Rhine-Westphalia.

On the way home my host shows me his firebrigade. It was very interesting, because i havent' seen such a truck before.

Now a short view from my hosts home. In the Backyard yuo see the "Vorgebirge". Behind this, the Nationalpark "Eifel" begins.

So, my host has to work a little. See you later...

*kisses*
Knut
