Travelog for: Stoker

Hello Mum, hello Dad,

We took a boat trip today – but it was a special trip. On this water channel the ships drove some parts without water – this was strange. On this postcard you can see how it works.



This was our boat.



This photo shows the nice nature.



Behind me you can see our way over the hill.



Our ship was on a wagon like this behind me.



Here you see the moment, when we went onto the wagon.



It was so interesting!





With the help of water and these wheels they moved the wagons.



Here you can see the machine room.



After this interesting trip with a boat we went to Frambork and visited the big cathedral there.

Hello Mum, hello Dad,

We started our day with another big red building. But this one was bigger. It is the Castle Malbork/Marienburg.  It is the biggest medieval fortress in Europe.



It looked great!



We went into the Castle and saw this nice altar or whatever it should be – I am not that good in religious things.





This was another nice room.



The kitchen was great, although I look like a ghost on the photo. 



In the castle courtyard we met these 4 guys. They were important for the Malbork!



After our visit we went to the other side of the river and had wonderful views.





Enough for the Castle – it was time for the seaside. We went to a place called Sopot. They have a very long pier there.





It was strange – at the end there was a little harbor.



Maybe I will be a pirate someday?



It was a hot and sunny day – so the people spent their time on the beach and in the water.



Next to the beach there was a really big hotel - I would have loved to stay in it.



In the city I saw this funny house…



It was a great day  - with a new Castle for my Castle-Collection.

Love
Stoker

Hello Mum, hello Dad,

Normally we had good weather here in Poland – but today it was not so good – fortunately we had no rain. Our city for today was Gdansk. Behind me you can see one of the town's landmark - the medieval port crane.



We had a nice view over the river.



There were many gates in Gdansk – I liked this one.



This was inside the old city – this house is called  Artus' Court with the Neptune Fountain in front of it.



Next to it there was the town hall.



Our lunch was very delicious.



Back on the road I saw another Gate.



And this was the armory.

Stoker

Hello Mum, hello Dad,

We visited this nice castle from the family Krockow



I saw some nice rooms in the castle.





Later we went to a big wandering dune.



It was really big – and I loved the view from here.







Later we went to the beach.



After the walk we relaxed in a small dune.





Our next stop was the little town Leba. I liked the boats there.










In the evening we saw some folk dances.



It was really interesting!





Love
Stoker

Hello Mum,  hello Dad,

It was our last day in Poland – and we spent in in Gdansk again. Because the weather was much better, I wanted to have new photos of course.



Everything looked good today.







This time we crossed the River and had a nice view. The medieval port crane looked much better in the sunshine.



Dicker Kumpel and I wanted to have a photo together!





We took a walk through the old city.





It was a nice and sunny day – then we had to fly home. I really hope that you like the photos of our holiday in Poland.

Yours
Stoker

Hello Mum, hello Dad,

We were back in Germany and I was so excited that you both and Murph will come and visit us here in Sülfeld.

We wrote a Welcome-Poster. Then I asked all the other TVs here to hang on the chair like this.



Can you read your names and the names of Murph, PinkyHH and Sofia?



It was fun – you arrived. But both of you didn’t want to be on the photo. Fortunately the ToyVoyagers hadn’t this problem.
I am sure that they loved our welcome!



They climbed onto the chair and we talked.



Then they came to us!



Love
Stoker

Hello Mum, hello Dad,

Today it was the day of the party. Dicker Kumpel came and invited Dottie Mouse for a party with dotted animals.



Unfortunately only Murph and Clairchen had dots and were allowed to join Dottie Mouse.

Some other guys with dots came for Dottie.



We others were a little sad, because we wanted to have a party, too. We went onto the back of Long Hippo and had a look.



Back on our chair Dicker Kumpel had an idea.



He found some stickers with dots.



I look like a dotted bat now.





We were all ready.



We went to Dottie and asked her, if we were allowed to join her party.





She said yes – and we gave her a Thank-You-hug.



Fortunately RikeH had more things to eat, so we all started our party together.







Later Dicker Kumpel and Murph had a surprise for us – a wonderful firework.



We decided that Murph started it – together with the help of a part of HoBi. You know, who helped! 



If you have a closer look – you can see some blue parts in the air above us.



This was fun!









Back home on our party-table, we ate the rest of our dinner. Unfortunately we ate everything.









Everything was empty – what should we do?



Well – I am in the home of Dicker Kumpel – and he knows how to party. We drank a delicious cocktail.





It was yummy – Mum and Dad.



Some hours later – no comment…









I loved this party!

Hello Mum, hello Dad,

tomorrow I will travel to my next host - it is the Mum of Clairchen, this is fun. Dicker Kumpel visited ScillyHH and told me that I will have a great time there.

But before I will leave, it was time to work on my life mission to have photos with the full moon.

Unfortunately we didn't have nice weather for a photo. But we tried it.

Here is the first photo:



Yes - it was the moon - but where was I?

You can see me on the next photo - or at least a part of me...
But the moon was very small.



A nicer photo of your little Stoker - but again the moon was far away. And there was no nice atmosphere in the photo.



I couldn't believe that it is a problem to take a nice photo. We send RikeH to a course for taking better photos, but without success...

Next try - you can see a part of my ear in front of the moon. We tried it out - it seems to be better that way. But I looked at the moon.



Of course I turned back to RikeH - so you have this great photo.



Okay - it was a big flop. 

I went into the living-room and talked to Dicker Kumpel. He had the great idea that I will come back after my visit of ScillyHH, so RikeH can practice to take nicer photos - and we will give it a try again in a month or so.

I said goodbye to Dicker Kumpel, we had a lot of fun together.



Then I got a big hug by the other TVs here.



I will write soon from Hamburg.

yours
Stoker

Hi mum and dad,

today I jumped from RikeH to Scillys bag. When we came home I heard voices. I took a look out of the bag.


Then I saw some other TV`s. The big bear must be LewisHH and the colorful TV is Whitby. They are my new hosts. The other TV's are Tiplitaps, Bärnd and dog Alex24.




Because I am a bat they showed me this Halloween toy they got last week.


Scilly and Richy are going to Zurich tomorrow. We made sure that they will not forget us. So we all jumped in in Scilly's bag.


I am sure I will have a great time with my new friends.
All the very best

Hi mum and dad,

the day began with a flight from Hamburg to Zurich.
See me enjoying the view out of the window.


You know I can fly by myself, but flying with an plane is more comfortable. I had the full service with tea, a coke and a chocolate bar.


The only thing I did not like  was the seat belt.


Zurich welcomed us with sunshine. It is a very nice town.
First we went from the airport to the main station and from there to the place called Paradeplatz.  Here you can find two of the most famous banks: UBS and Credit Suisse.


In this building behind me you can find the well known Lind Sprüngli Café.


This is the Bahnhofstrasse leading to the Zurich lake. Can you see the swiss flag hanging in the middle of the road?


This is a nice church in the middle of town.




See me in front of the "Großmünster", another church near the lake.


The building on the right side is the town hall of Zurich.


We walked to the lake and went on boat trip.


See me and my friends sitting on the boat.




Here are some impressions from our boat trip.










In Rapperswil we left the boat. There found this funny and huge shoe.




Back in Zurich we had a break with a hot chocolate in the Lind Sprüngli Café.


Then it was time to fly home. We had a last view to the planes at Zurich airport.




This was a great day!
Alle the very best

Hi mum and dad,

it is time to say Good Bye to Bärnd. Tomorrow he will travel home.


W gave him the last heart from our flight on tuesday as a Good Bye gift 


Good Bye Bärnd!


All the very best!

Hi mum and dad,

today we found a lot of conkers. See me collecting the conkers. Later we will use them for the autumn decoration.




On our way we saw this funny man. He is very famous in Hamburg. His name Hans Hummel. In former times men were carrying the water through the town. And one of them was Hans Hummel.


We went to the airport to do some planespotting.






But I prefer flying on my own 
All the very best

Hi mum and dad,

the weather is fine. So we decided to take walk in Mellingburg. It is situated in the northeast of Hamburg. It is hard to believe that Mellingburg is a part of Hamburg because it is so green.

First we found this old building. Very nice but it looks a little bit wobbly.


This was an old watermill.


Oh look. the autumn can be so nice!


This is the first lake we saw in Mellingburg.


These ducks are very nosy to see who we are.


We especially liked this lake, it is very idylic.






Look, we found a "Waldkindergarten". It is a special kind of kindergarden. The children only have the house as a base and they play in the forrest every day and learn o lot about the nature. I like this idea.


This was a nice afternoon out.
All the very best
Stoker.

Hi mum and dad,

today the summer is back in town.
First we went to the Hamburg harbour.
See me in front of the "Landungsbrücken" where the boat trips starts.




Then we went to Övelgönne with its museum harbour.
This boat is an old ice breaker.


This is an old tug.


This is an old harbour ferry. Today it is a museum café.


I especially like this old sailing boat.


Look, what a nice frame house. It is a restaurant. But it is not the best photograph of me 


Because of the weather we went to the beach on the river Elbe. See me enjoying the day on the beach with this fantastic harbour view.






All the very best
Stoker

Hi mum and dad,

today was a foggy day. But nontheless we went to the harbour and took a ferry.
See me in front of a dry dock. As you can see there is a big ship in it for general overhaul. They are even building a big helicopter pad at the bag.


This is another ship we passed.


Look at this sigh with the seaman decoration on the top


Our aim was the Kölbrandtbrücke. It leads over the river Elbe and is very important for the harbour.  It is very imposing, isn't it!


This is the proof that we are in Hamburg. You can read "We are Hamburg" on the top of our ferry.


All the very best
Stoker
