Travelog for: Khaled

Hello, Guten Tag, Bonjour, Hoi, Ciao, Hola & Salam dear Toyvoyagers and also toy mommys and daddys.

My name is Khaled and  I am a desert animal. To be exact, I'm a camel.
Yes yes right! Those animals with two humps to store water, the taxis of the desert for inhabitants as well as tourists.
Some of us are even used for camel race sport, but to be honest I am not really into that. I think we should better leave these job to the horses.

I live with my toy mommy Verena since a few months now so we got to know each other well. I am very thankful she set me free from the  toy-shop I lived in before. Not that the shop wasn't nice, but it is a more calming feeling to have a safe place you belong to, instead of waking up every day without knowing where you may end up.

As beautiful as it is to have this nice home now, we camels are used to travel a lot. So when we got some post from one of Verenas egyptian friends this week, my urge to travel awoke again.

Here you can see two pictures of me looking fascinated at the egyptian gifts the postman brought to us.
Especially the stamps and the arabic letters on the envelope were so very nice.





It was easy for Verena to read from my face how much I would like to travel a bit.  After I promised her to come back home from time to time and leave some notes to her along my journey, she agreed to let me be free and become a part of this community here.

I really look forward to meet some of you people out there and hope you brighten my days with the language spoken in your country, your traditions, your daily life, local meals and sights...
With my 75gr I am a very easy going plushy toy and I dont need much to be pleased.

So please let me come into your mailbox soon.

See you
Yours Khaled 

Hello to all of you readers out there.

Today I found a nice painting in Verena's room which I really like and wanted to share with you all.
Verena made it herself, as she really loves the oriental style of decoration.
Yes yes don't hide it! Common she deserves some applaus.
Unfortunataly it was too sunny outside to really see the little colorful lights shining from behind the windows and stars.
But I can tell you it looks even more fabulous at night when its dark.
Maybe I get the chance to make another photo in the evening.

I think I really look good beside this nice painting isn't it?

Hello everyone

What an exciting weekend!
I was so happy to hear that Verena finally found my first host.
Im gonna travel to beelicious here from the forum.
I heard that she also got a little camel called LeMak. You can imagine that now I am even more excited.
With all the excited feelings inside my little camel heart I tried out my colorful Travel Tag. Am I not looking good with it?

In the background you see Cola and saltsticks.
Verena was sick with gastrical flu the last days so that this was kind of her medicine. And surely I snacked some of it as well....yummy...

Dont worry I gave her a lot of kisses to feel better. I also wanted her to stay in bed, but she still put a lot efforts in my travelling. Thanks for that!

I also took a trying seat inside the envelope which will be my home until I reach my host. Its comfortable and fluffy inside and hopefully the postman will be gentle with it!


So hope you guys had a nice weekend too
Bye yours Khaled
P.S. Hope to see you soon beelicious! Can't wait for it!

Hi mum!

Today we had a Men's Day with our host-dad.

And what do men? Right, they cook  .

We make ravioli with beef and spinach filling and tomato sauce.




We make the dough.




This is work for real men.


Fry the meat for the stuffing.
Then I cut the spinach.


In the filling is Parmesan cheese and sour cream.




When we filling the ravioli we've forgotten to take a picture .... 

We're waiting...

Today we made a board game.

It has become a favorite game of mine, because we takes a lot of camels for it!

The game is called "Through the Desert".


So many small camel-friends!




Of course Leopoldi and Philly play with too!


First the desert is empty ...

It was so much fun!

We drive with this truck.


In the back we take  an excavator.

We drive through Haßfurt. Left you see the "Ritterkapelle" (Knights' Chapel).


Now we take the highway A70 direction Schweinfurt.


Now we are in Schweinfurt "Maintal." The arch is part of the old city wall.


We're going to Kitzingen. Along the way we past vineyards.


Have you ever seen such a small tractor? It is made of vinesyards.


Do you see the four towers? This is the Abbey "Münsterschwarzach".


Now we are in Kitzingen.


Outside of Kitzingen is our last stop.
We unload excavators, wheel loaders and humus.




We enjoy the beautiful spring weather.


We can even drive an excavator!




I'm getting tired ... I want to go home.

Finally we are back home. It was a lot of fun!
After this adventure we need something sweet :-D!
