A postcard!!

A postcard from Teddy! As you know he is on holidays in South Norway and a few days ago this card arrived here in Berlin!

Back to Hellvik...by plane!!!

After a long days work I rest in the airport lounge at Gardermoen.


















Looking at our plane bound for Stavanger.













Teddy in the air!











Here you can see in the train from Stavanger to Hellvik.

Right now I am having holidays at Lyngør (South Norway) - soon you can see here more photos!

My trip to Oslo

Malin and Dag went to Oslo for a weekend and I travelled with them. Here at Aker Brygge in front of the boat "Prinsessen" (the Princess).









I visited the Nobel peace centre!













Here at the main entrance.












Here you can see me looking at the city hall.














Here I am on my way to some important international meetings at the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign affairs!

Teddy in Hellvik

After the long travel I needed some fresh air. Here in Malin´s garden.











The view of Hellvik...

Teddy meets Leo!

Malin´s cat Leo was also curious about the newly arrived guest....Will Leo eat me?!










Of course not! :-D
Leo and me became good friends already the first day!

My arrival in Norway

Finally I arrived at Malin and Dag in Norway, in end of june! I travelled together with a bunch of friendly frogs from Michèle and Olesea










Hungry after the long journey - I had a meel of frog sweeties.
















Malin collect frog figures, and some of them wished me welcome!

This weekend...

...I am going to spend in Olso. Next week I´ll show you photos :D

Arrived!

Huray,

I made it! I arrived in Norway! More news later :)

On the way to Norway

I am on the way to Malin....finally! I was sent in a parcel to her last Monday. I have several frogs with me (Malin collects them :)) and our ticket to Norway was much more expensive then my bus tickets from and to Moldova! The German postal service is incredible expensive when it comes to parcels...But they said I will fly with a plane and will reach Malin fast. I hope in the next days she will let me out of the parcel box and I can finally explore the area around Stavanger!

My next stop after the stay in Norway will be Canada!!

Home, sweet home....

I am home!! After a looooong stay in Moldova I came back to Germany. Olesea tried two times to send me with the postal service to Norway but both times I got lost and was luckily found at the Chisinau airport. Olesea and Michèle decided to send me via Germany to Norway, so Olesea sent me with the bus to Berlin where I arrived safely after just 2 days.
Tomorrow I will go with the postal service to Norway and meet finally Malin and Dag!

I was found!!!

Great news!!!After more then two months I was finally released! I was found by the Moldovan mail service after Olesea had let them search for me. I was at the airport. For unknown reason (maybe fear of flying??) I did not entered any plane to Norway or anywhere else.

Now I travel again...to Malin...in company with a frog and I hope this time we will make it!

Where is Teddy??

We have a problem....Teddy travels already 6 weeks between Moldova and Norway. Usual traveltime between this countries should be 2-4 weeks. We, Michèle, Olesea and Malin, hope, he is not lost and will arrive very soon. Unfortunality Teddy can not go on his already planned trip to Kenya as his flight goes very soon from Canada and he will probably not reach it on time .... and that is such a pity!

On the road again...

Currently I am travelling... I am on the way to Norway to meet Malin and Dag!

Taraclia!!

Olesea is originally from Taraclia. So we had a trip to this city or I would rather say village on the south of Moldova. We enter to Taraclia.


Now you see something like monument. There's written "Welcome" in 3 languages: Russian, Romanian and Bulgarian. Why Bulgarian? In Taraclia live many Bulgarians.

Here you see the lyceum Olesea was learning in.

This is a monument to all those who died in the wars. On those stones are inscriptions with the names of wars which took lifes of many people.

Christmas and the New Year

Well, Christmas came to Europe but not to Moldova. Here people don't celebrate Christmas on December 24. They celebrate it on January 6. And that wonderful tree is attribute of the New Year and gifts are given to the New Year.

Here we've prepared cards for my owner Michele and her daughter.


Then we lighted candle.


Here's Christmas or New Year tree =)


And we also lighted bengal lights!

Again with it.

Moldovan Wells

When you travel somewhere in Moldova you often meet wells on your way. They allow those thursty to drink water and continue their travel. I decided to show you 2 wells.


This one is new. It's built on the place where the old one was. You may see those long stick. Earlier they helped people to get water from wells.

Around Chisinau by the car

Hello!
I know you all are waiting for new photos from me =) I've travelled around the capital of Moldova, Chisinau. I took many photos. We decided to go for a trip around the city by the car. Here's the car I've travelled with.


First of all Olesea showed me local airport. We both guess Michele is happy to see it =) In my back you see airport and the monument near it - plane which is going to fly.


Here you see the whole plane. Do you like it? This monument is the one of new monuments. It appeared here just few years ago.


Chisinau airport is situated beyond the city. So, we had to go back to Chisinau after we saw it. In my back you see city gates. They are still far away from us. They welcome every visitor.

Here you see one part of city gates and cars which go to the city.


We are closer to the city...

We almost enterd it!!!

Here we decided to take many photos and just show you some views. Not every building on these photos is historical or really important. Here you see houses people live in.

This photo is showing the one of the roads in Chisinau.

In my back you see houses and also there's a picture of Moldovan National Emblem.

This photo shows hotel called Cosmos. This hotel was built in the times of Soviet Union.


On this photo you see Railway station. It's the only railway station in Chisinau. All the trains coming to Chisinau come to this place. Both local and international.


Here you see Moldtelecom building. Thanks to Moldtelecom there work all telephones in Moldova :)


This is theatre called in honour of M.Eminescu. M.Eminescu is great Moldavian poet. His masterpiece is called "Luceafarul".


Here you see Science Academy. It's place where all moldavian scientists work.

This is old building in the city center. At the moment there's shop.


On the left side you see new building. There will be offices.

This is church.


Again that church.


Another church


This building is called Primaria. Here work Chisinau powers

This is the main square in the Republic. You see Tree in the middle of it. That will be the main Christmas tree of Moldova this year.

This is National Palace. Here many concerts take place.

In my back you see monument. It's the greatest ruler in the whole history of Moldova. He is on also depicted on money. And the main street in Chisinau is called in his honour.


This is old building. In 19th century there was something like school for boys. Nowadays there's Museum of History of Moldova.

This is Opera theatre.


This is "Bucuria" - the biggest sweet producer in Moldova. "Bucuria" - that's Romanian word which means "happines". So those weets should bring happiness to people.

"Bucuria" New Year adverticement.


And this is troleybus. It's usual transport in Chisinau.
