home, Slovenia - 8th June 2007
By: nikar
Finally...I am soon going on another journey. It has been ages since I have last traveled away, so I can barely remember how it was. It has been decided that I am going to tour the Europe first and join ETVT. Can you imagine, I am going to see Europe....and meet all those new human friends. Maybe I will even get new toyvoyager friends.
Of course I will miss my home and my toy friends here at home. I will especially miss the large dog, his coat is such a good pilow. But I am sure I will have a great time and that new adventures are ahead of me.
Below you can see my favourite style of travelling and me and Blaze resting a bit.

on her way to Moira, UK - 12th June 2007
By: nikar
The adventure started today. I have had my first trainride to Ljubljana. Unfortunately me and Blase had to stay in nikar's backpack, because the train was soo full. But anything is ok, just so that I can begin my traveling. I am now already on my way to Moira to UK and I can't wait to arrive there, because I am anxious to see all the nice places there. And maybe because I hate that travelbag my owner stuck me into. Well at least I am better of than Blaze, mine was big and his was very small. Well au revoir Slovenia and hello UK.

Dumfries, Scotland - 16th June 2007
By: Moira
What a long journey....and what a stuffy way to travel! Being a very wise owl, I had already checked the internet and found that I would be travelling over 1200 miles. I wish I'd been wise enough to pack a bigger lunch though. After several days on the road, I finally arrived at my first hosts home...with a loud thump on the door mat. I heard frantic barking, and was jostled a bit to the sound of snuffling...then silence. I hope my host gets home from work soon and lets me out of this bag.

Dumfries, Scotland - 17th June 2007
By: Moira
At last! After a long wait I was finally released from my envelope by Frank, a very scruffy looking old bear. He introduced me to Tal, a scary looking creature who had made all the noise when I first arrived. I didn't like the look of his teeth and vowed to stay away from him.
Frank then introduced me to a whole gang of toy voyagers! And I had completed my first mission!!

Purelands Retreat Centre, Scotland - 15th July 2007
By: Moira
Having agreed to accompany my new friend, Filibert, on retreat in a Buddhist monastery, I soon realised I couldn't meditate for six hours a day! While he sat on his cushion hoping to reach Enlightenment, I stayed in our room polishing my linguistic skills. If I am to be a successful Toy Voyager I need to learn as many languages as possible....

Purelands Retreat Centre, Eskdalemuir - 20th July 2007
By: Moira
Having mastered English, French, Dutch, Swedish and Swahili I thought I would venture out for a stroll around the grounds of the retreat centre. I was delighted to find a resident peacock called George. He was a very majestic beast, but despite my new language skills, was not much of a conversationalist. He seemed far too interested in preening himself. He did give me a beautiful tail feather though, so I can't be too nasty about him.

Hi All,
sorry i have had to pass on this lovely little owl without taking her anywhere or any pictures to show, but i have been swamped with overtime at work, and not had much time to spare recently. Again sorry to disappoint you all.

St Orens, France - 9th November 2007
By: Mood
Well, here I am in France ... I arrived this morning in a small town near Toulouse in South West of France
I'm very happy as my new host is living near a little wood, she said we would walk together looking for other owls ...
As you can see, I arrive right in Autumn time, and the leaves are beautiful ...
This is the place where Mood works ... I think I'm going to enjoy my stay ...

Toulouse, France - 17th November 2007
By: Mood
As I'm very curious, I've read a book about Toulouse,
and here is what I've learnt "The literary, artistic and scientific upsurge of the Renaissance was enhanced for Toulouse by an economic boom based on pastel or woard, a plant that gives an indelible blue dye.
The merchant used their money to build somptuous mansions (hôtels) which are among the attractions of Toulouse today.
I was very impatient to discover the town !!!
So today, I asked Mood to take me for a visit of the "pink town" ... we took the new metro line ...
I wasn't at my ease as we were sinking into the earth entrails!!!
Then the train arrived, we jumped in it
(in ramonville station).. and the train started
Place des Carmes : our way out at last !!
Here we are outside at last!!!
And, indeed, my book didn't lie, here are some examples of old mansions
This is Rue Ozenne
I really do love the "gargouilles"
It seems it was the house of an ancient knight ???
And here are others building, which seems to be more recent
Have you seen these strange warden in front of many houses
They are quite frightening don't you think?
Here I am in Place de la trinité, with its fountain
Poor ladies, they must have wings cramps!!!!
