Hi Mum

I have arrived in Bristol .... it tooks ages as there are postal stikes over here at the moment, so post is very delayed! I was glad to get out of the envelope 

In the space of a day i made 4 friends briefly, but lost 3 friends of them - Natt Noy & Mr Happy are off to Natt's home in Thailand, and Etwas is now off to the USA.

Luckily for me Rob is staying - he is cute & small just like me, Julie tells me we are off to Mexico a week on Sunday for 10 days ... it's like 2 holidays in one, how exciting

Here are a few photo's of me arriving, Rob is going to show me round so will have more photo's up for you soon!

Lots of Love, Flo  xxxx

Hi Mum!

It's been a busy week this week - Julie took me to work with her - Rob was showing me around! We stopped off through contra of Bristol to get the bus, went past 'the Galleries' which is small shopping Mall, then went past 'Syndicate' which is nightclub, Julie has been there lots of times before - it does mainly dance music. Then opposite was a police station, and we got to see a English Police car .. it was very bright! We crossed the road safely, waiting for the green man, and got on the bus. We sat & read the paper on the journey to work as it takes about 40 minutes!

At Julie's work we sat around & had some coffee while Julie got on with her day. On her lunch break she took us outside - there is lovely pond just outside her building, nice & relaxing We found some motorbikes too - Julie let us sit on them - they were huge for little me, bet they go so fast!

Over the weekend we went to the pub with Julie & her boyfriend, a nice glass of wine & some roast chicken - yummy!

MrCoolHH arrived today ... Julie says he will be coming on holiday with us - can you believe i am going to Mexico on Sunday? Going to be busy rest of week helping Julie pack for holiday, and pack for moving house - will update you with the pictures of what i have been up too before i go on holiday, and just so you don't think i am lost we will be back from Mexico the weekend of the 17th October .... sure i will have lots of stories to share 

Lots of Love, Flo 

Hey!

Just to let you know i am back home to England now, there are so many pictures to update you with, may take few days to sort them out & resize them, but will get them up for you as soon as i can, in meantime i will get on with composing a little blog for you on what fun we had in Mexico 

Lots of Love, Rob 

Hi Mum,

At last i have got all of my pictures to show you .....

We left Bristol on coach to take us to the airport - we left from Gatwick, which is near London. It was early start though had to leave at 4am - EEK!!!

Safety first on the plane, we went through the safety book, and got ourseleves seat-belted in for the 10 hour flight to Cancun Mexico, so exciting!!! Hotel 'Barcelo Costa' here we come ....

Day 1 - first things first, time to sunbath, suncream & sunglasses at the ready!! Over there we had to get used to all the different money - we could use USA Dollars, and Mexican Peso's. Julie took us to the beach at our hotel - it was lovely - white sands & blue sea

Day 3 - Julie took us out on a day trip - we went to Tulum, this is an old Mayan Ruin site - the ruins are off a city that dates back to the 1500's. It was on the coast so was used for trade, as well as being very well protected. From there we went to Xel Ha - this was an amazing Ecological park, you can swim with dolphins, roack, jumping, chill on the lazy river in a ring, and snorel around the whole site, reefs & caves - the sea was full of wildlife - all kinds of fish just swimming around you as you float through the water! As well as the wildlife in the water at both places we saw loats of Iguana's just wondering around - they are very common over in Mexico - we managed to get quite close to have pics taken too, would of loved for one of them to become a toyvayoger like me!!

Day 6 - Today was shopping day, we went around the busy part of Cancun & saw some clubs & pubs - Co Co Bongo's is the best club there, the club was taken from the film 'The Mask', and each night has live shows of acrobatics, Circ De Solais and music .... something quite original to normal clubs!

From there we went to 'Bubba Gumps Shrimp Co' - have you ever seen the film 'Forrest Gump', well Bubba was charactor on that & he talked of running a shrimp restuarant ... so the whole place is filled with memorabilia from the film, they play the film all day every day & have the menu suited to the film too - it was awesome, we had the best coktails there!! And when you go outside, you can sit on the bench just like Forrest Gump off the film - with his trainers on, box of chocolates & suitecase - this was one of my best moments of the holiday!

Day 7 - Today we went to a proteced Barrier Reef just off the coast of Cancun to do some snorkeling - it was so lovely, we got a boat through the lagoon, and then out to sea - beautiful!

Enjoy the pictures .... sad to be back in England as weather is horrible - so windy & cold outside, and tonight the clocks go back too, this means going to be allot darker in the evenings now

Lots of Love, Flo  xxxx

Hey!

So sorry for long wait in updates ... things for my host have been some what crazy here, but here is what i have been up too .....

Have been to Julies work, walked through Bristol then on the bus. I had fun with Julie & the other toys in her work on the computer, then we went outside to see the pond & even found a motor bike to have a go on - wow 

I have also been to the pub for some lunch ... wine & a roast chicken, yummy!

I also went to the cinema - it is in he new shopping centre in Bristol called Cabot Circus - it was just before Christmas so there were giant reindeers in the centre - aren't they cool? We went to see horror film - Paranormal Activity .... it was quite scary in places!

Then i helped make Roast Diner at Christmas ... we had chicken, stuffing, roast potatoes, cheesey veg - it was great!

Best thing though was the snow we had - there has been loads of it over last few weeks, so pretty around Julie's work, but we did get a snow day though, all the buses stopped as snow came down so heavy over night .... we got to make a snowman - amazing
