Following this story that surfaced on the BBC a couple of days ago about an adventurous garden gnome, HostelBloggers have come across more tales of traveling toys.

Tilly, Tom and Tiny are three lucky rag dolls about to embark on an adhoc tour of the world. Each has a polite notice attached to it asking the ‘owner’ (i.e. whoever picks it up at any one time) to take the doll with them on one leg of their travels, and send in a few pics of the results.

Good luck to the three of them, we say. And remember, if you happen to see a slightly haggard looking doll flagging a ride during your travels, be sure to stop and give it a lift!
