From My Comfortable Home, England - 31st May 2006
By: FantasticMsFox
This season,
FoxForce can mostly be found
Moonbathing,
Dawdling in meadows,
Running into the sea trailing clothes in her wake,
And drinking vast quantities of CAFFEINE.
Hurrah!
Until Autumn at least, she will *not* countenance:
Decaff ('sfor wimps)
Retro club nights
Poor parallel parking
And squirrels who behave badly up trees.

This is where I'm from. My starting point. If you look closely (and I mean CLOSELY) you can see The Crooked Spire of Chesterfield in the distance.

This is me, setting out on my travels (look carefully, I'm climbing through the gate!).
I feel like Frodo Baggins leaving The Shire ...

London, England - 7th June 2006
By: FantasticMsFox
A keepsake photo of me in case I don't return from my travels - I'm off to see the big wide world!
There are Several Scary 'Firsts' for me today:
(1) Travelling by train (scared of falling down the gap and being eaten by RufftyTuffty TrainTrack rodents *aarrrggh!*)
(2) Travelling to London (big city, fast cars, *gulp*)
(3) Being passed on to a temporary guardian who will help me to fulfil one of my life missions (will he like me? will we hit it off? *Zoiks!*)
Hope to bring you some news soon about my further adventures.
Until then, Fox Fans, farewell!

Machu Picchu, Peru - 14th July 2006
By: Dee
After travelling down to London, I found myself on a flight to Peru to try and complete one of my life missions.
We could have caught the train which would have taken a few hours to get to Machu Picchu, the ancient town of the Incas, but my great friend decided that it would be more worthwhile to walk there (!)
Phew, that was hard work! It took four days, through literally breathtaking mountains to get there, but it was worth the effort! Machu Picchu is one of the most amazing places on the planet and I was so glad to get there safe and sound. There were a few hairy moments when I almost got stampeded by a couple of runaway llamas and the nights were bitterly cold, but we got there in the end!
My pictures are at Dead Woman's pass - the highest point on the Inca Trail and also a handful of shots at Machu Picchu itself.
I am back in England now and am ready for my next taste of adventure!

Twycross Zoo, England - 15th February 2007
By: FantasticMsFox
Big big thanks to Dee for taking me along with him to Machu Picchu. I've always wanted to go there, and now I have!
Somewhat less exotic and much closer to home, here I am at Twycross, with a friendly and inquisitive penguin.
I kept half-expecting it to do a tap-dance and thus lead me to its endangered homeland and singing relatives, but, alas, it was not to be.
Hung around for a bit awaiting the promised penguin feeding extravaganza, but that didn't happen either, so I sloped off for some lunch.

Twycross Zoo, England - 15th February 2007
By: FantasticMsFox
This is about as near as I'd ever want to get to a lion (even a fairground effigy lion!)
The actual real live lions looked a tad discontented with their lot, so it seemed unfair to add insult to injury by taking a quick snap of their sad faces. Here's the local lion lookylikey, he looks quite benevolent really (probably contemplating which unsuspecting tourist he'll pounce on first).

Twycross Zoo, England - 15th February 2007
By: FantasticMsFox
My final report from Twycross, and here is my most favourite animal of all: this gorgeously handsome and amazingly witty tapir.
Here he is moseying over for a chinwag - unfortunately my party were on their way home, so we only got a quick chat before we had to say our farewells...
Until next time, FoxFans, goodbye!

Mikkeli, Finland - 20th March 2007
By: BlueFairy
I arrived to the address I was told to find my host from, and was a little suprised that he was a penguin, but I was rased to be broad minded, so I didnt let it bother me.
After a short talk, I realised though that he was a fellow toyvoyager no one hadn't told me.
No one answered the door, so me and my new buddy Ramon sneaked to BlueFairys room and found a little fish (or a Tri...ops?) swimming in a bowl on the table and admired it a while and found a paper from the table what said we are going to have some friends joining us shortly.
We got boored pretty fast and found a cellphone and desided to call BlueFairy, and it turned out, that she had to work till 9pm twice a week (includin today) and we could make our selves like home at the meantime, so we got to it.
We ate some fine foreign chocholad took a bath and went to a sauna.
After that we brushed each others teeth and went to bed waiting BlueFairy to arrive.
Here is some pictures from our arriving:
(Neither me or Ramon are so good with computer so we couldnt get the pictures in the right arrange )

Mikkeli, Finland - 24th March 2007
By: BlueFairy
BlueFairy was going to leave us here to explore Finland by our selves when she goes to Paris, because it is only a few day shopping trip, but because she have not been able to do any updates because of the lousy weather, she desided to take us with her! And we will be leaving first thing tomorrow!
Underneath there is a picture of our trip with my new friends to the woods, it was really pretty and it was really nice to just relax and enjoy the sunset with my new friends.
