Travelog for: Ivor

Had another lovely day wandering around Prague. Just checking the time on the Astrological Clock; I want to make sure I have time for a snooze back at the hotel before they take me out again tonight.


I'm quite excited as they have taken me to see Don Giovanni at the opera house where it premiered and I've never been to an opera before.  It is really, really hot in here; I hope I can get an ice cream in the interval.

Well I've been a bit busy and not updated my travelogue for ages - still, better late than never. 

Last month I met Travel Ted, another toyvoyager and he came to stay with me for the weekend.  It was a lot of fun and we've decided to go travelling together some time soon.

First we met up and went to the Lebanese restaurant for my favourite food.  Travel Ted liked it too, but not quite as much as I did.  He did think I might have had a bit too much fun when I drank the last of the wine and fell asleep in the bread basket.

I felt a bit unwell by the time we got home, but TT was really kind and said he'd look after me.  We went to bed and he read me a bedtime story.  I thought it was a bit scary, but TT likes horror films, so he didn't think so.

The next day we had a game of dominoes while Nicky and Deborah got ready to go out (I let Travel Ted win as he'd been so nice to me).  It was raining a lot so we decided to go to the Bridewell which is a nice museum in Norwich.  TT took a picture of me while I talked to the cardboard man, then we went in to see the exhibits. 

We tried to spin a new friend from the basket of wool, but it took too long so we went off to find something else to do.

I had a game of marbles in the old toys section and then we met a really old toyvoyager who had been on his travels since WWII in an evacuees suitcase.

At the end of the day TT and Deborah had to go and catch a train home, I was really sad to see them go and hope that we'll meet up again soon.

Well I'm off again on my travels.  They said I was going to somewhere that sounded like 'Has to buy Jam', that can't be right can it?  Anyway, I have to drink all this water before I get on the plane as I'm not allowed to take it in my hand luggage.  Better get on.

Azerbaijan, not Hastobuyjam.  easy mistake to make.

Back in Norfolk again now. It has been very wet and cold here, so as I couldn't go out, I picked up an old book I found lying around. It is about something called a Mini. I asked my friend what a Mini was and she took me to the garage and there was this lovely little car. I sneaked back after she had gone to bed to see if I could drive it, i've seen them driving before, it doesn't look too hard, with a bit more practise I reckon I could take myself off somewhere...but where???

Tania has passed me back to Nicky again, but I really think it's time I planned my own Mini Adventure.  Maybe I can get my friend Travel Ted to come with me?

Turns out Nicky knows nothing about Minis at all, but she did give me this instructional DVD to watch.

Travel Ted and I have managed to hitch a ride to the airport.  TT is so nervous he's been sick, but I think what he really needs is a fry-up at the Weatherspoons.  That will settle his stomach.

Pie at last. 

Yum, definitely like spaghetti even if it does look like worms.  Would be better with jam though.

Now for my mini adventure, this shouldn't be too hard, I've seen it on that documentary.

It's not a square it's a Piazza, Travel Ted.

Travel Ted suggested a trip out of town.  He'd heard that there was a truffle festival at Alba so we thought we'd go.  We were both a bit dissapointed when we discovered that truffles were actually very expensive, moldy old bits of fungus and not chocolate after all, but the train journey was fun and there were lots of towers to look at.

Southwold Pier is great fun.  I went in a machine to decide whether I was 'art' or not (but the machine broke so I may never know). 

I also liked the beach huts, although I was a bit confused about them being on land as according to the Bathoscope they are occupied by fish who have to watch out for gazumping sharks.

I'm all ready for trick or treating in my super hero costume.  Might go to a party later.

Met up with my friend Lobster for halloween treats and a glass of wine.  No tricks though.
