Travelog for: Chocolate

Today we were going on a trip in a taxi... my host and her girlfriend were told not to go out on their own and advised to go only by taxi which they did.  My hosts husband gets ill so he cannot come to some countries.  Anyway we went on a cable car, it was so very high mummy, even I felt a little giddy... even more to make me dizzy was the armed guard who escorted us and watched to keep us safe.  We thought that might be a little over the top, lets face it so high up who could get to us!!! 

When we got up there we found some pretty  flowers and I just had to smell them, I nearly fell over!!!!

We saw a pretty lizard, we had to move very fast to take a photo but nothing stops me. 

From the cable car we saw a statue of Christ, underneath were banana plantations, coconuts, olive groves, so much greenery and we could even see the sea....

We rested yesterday and so today we decided to take a look around the hotel. 

It was very pretty, and we overlooked the pool so that was good.  The cleaning lady had done a pretty swan with towels for our room, we tried to do the same but not exactly with the same effect. !!

We sat and watched the flamingos and had some nice cool drinks, it was very hot today again. 

As you will see from the last picture there was a tropical storm, I have never seen so much rain in so little time.  The lightening was very frightening, I hid with my host behind the curtain, Mocke wanted to go out in it but I stopped him he is quite a little fellow and would have been washed away.... would have Petra said!!!

Well we arrived in the dominican republic, it was very hot, so we had to just go and lie on the beach and enjoy beach life.  It was very hard to do, just to lie back and listen to the waves flowing onto the beach... aaaaaahhhh this is the life for me.... life by the ocean ... I am sure that is a song, or is that life on the ocean wave....

Today we went on a monster truck it was so much fun, then we had a water fight with other trucks, luckily I kept safe but my host got very wet....  we saw some of the inner Dominican Republic it is a lovely country with lovely people.  They are not rich but they always seem very happy.  The beaches are beautiful, with palm trees... but it is very hot.

We then stopped for BBQ lunch that was fun too, my buddies were with me, Count and Mocke

This is from a few days ago I met Shirley Sheep coming home between travels, she has now gone onto pastures new.... get it get it pastures new  ... Sheep... maybe not!!!  Anyway also met Henry the Adventure Hound, now he has been on some travels, all around America he had a wonderful time, lots to talk about, I liked him but he was a squashy little fellow... of course Mocke and Eeyore but he is not a tv.  Some very pretty flowers but they did smell a lot

Well my journey will soon be coming to an end I have had fun and met Shirley Sheep, Henry the Adventure Hound, Mocke, Count but I still have a week of adventures I will try and behave but who knows just what might happen!!

Well its me again, here I am packed for my travels, I look a bit like Indiant Jones dont you think.  We had a lovely day out in Torquay this is South Devon.  It was a lovely sunny day.  My host took a day off work to take me out... well not especially but thats what she told me.

We went to a place called Babbacombe Model Village, and saw lots of little houses, it was beutiful...  lots of little people and no one moved, wonderful!!

We then played golf, I was then put with a pirate because my host lost by 2 points to me!! ha ha ha... but then I couldnt laugh as the Pirate was very big and nasty looking..

And then tomorrow, I move on I have to say good bye its been fun and now I have met Dawsun and Miss E too, lots of friends to play with while I have been here.  I am going to Israel to Alleycate, now that should be interesting.. do they speak English .. maybe I should practice just in case>>>>

I've been in Jerusalem for a while now, but it's currently very hot and we avoid walking around... anyway, here's a long-due report from a nice little walk around the university which we (me and another cute bear - Helen Bear) did a while ago. We had a look at the science museum (from outside), then at some government buildings, including the Knesset (Parliament).

Then we also visited the Wohl Rose Garden, which is a big park near the Knesset. Not a lot of roses there, but many green lawns and trees, and even a nice little lake.

This weekend I had travelled to the north of Israel, to visit the alleykitten during his vacation with the family on the farm in moshav (village). The landscapes are great, with the trees, fruits and flowers. There's also a big playground for children, with many other toys, including a couple of monster bears!

I walked around the farm, met some horses and cats, and was very tempted to swim in a pool...

At the evening we made a campfire. I slept well, as we had a whole unused apartment for ourselves, on the 2nd floor; apparently it was used for children as there was also a lot of toys for me to play with!

At the morning I stayed on the terrace and looked at the garden and trees and flowers once more, before going back to Jerusalem.

Today we had a wonderful walk around the University campus, which looks more like a public park, with the flowers and trees, and especially with all the people resting on the lawns.

We also visited a few bird exhibitions where I had some fun with the fake birds! Then we saw fountains (water is good when the weather is so hot, but I had to stay out of it). And in the late evening we went home.
