Elephants crossing!

I have seen the biggest elephant you can possibly imagine! It made me shiver in my paws. I was so close it could have reached out and stolen my hat!

South Africa

We found lots of penguins! These are African Pengiuns and they are endangered. The cheeky baboon stole the salt from our table :(

Rio de Janeiro

I was in Brazil for a week and it was extremely hot. I couldn't find a sunhat my size, unfortunately. I made good friends with the lady in the picture. The World Cup is in Brazil next year and the next Olympic Games will be there too.

Lake Titicaca

I spent a night with a local family on an island on Lake Titicaca. It is the highest lake in the world. It was so cold, I had to wear a local woolly hat, made for me by the lady in the photograph. My next stop is Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. It's very hot there, so I might need a sunhat.....

The Inca Trail and Machu Picchu

I am recovering from 4 days following the trail that the Incas built hundreds of years ago. I had to get up in the dark every morning and walk for hours and hours, My paws got very sore and there was no honey at all :( The mountains were huge and the highest point we crossed was 4,200 metres! We passed lots of prickly pear plants. The local people make cochineal from white stuff found on the leaves. Do you know what cochineal is?

Darkest Peru!

I tried feeding pigeons in Lima, the capital city of Peru, but they were a bit scared of me. Did you know that avocados, tomatoes and potatoes all originated in Peru? See if you can find out how many types of potatoes there are - let me know your guesses - you will be amazed! Maize is also different here - look at all the different colours! Peruvians eat guinea pigs! Can you believe it? I am glad Mr and Mrs F don't eat meat. I hope they don't get a liking for small brown bears.
At the moment, I am in Cusco, which is in the Andes Mountains. See what you can find out about the Andes. Tomorrow, we start the 4 day trek to Machu Pichu and we have to go very high. I will blog again when we get home.......if we get home...... there is a picture of me on the Inca terraces. What can you find out about the Incas?

Amazon Rainforest

I spent 3 days on the Amazon River and walking in the rainforest! There were loads of Mosquitos and I got heaps of bites even through my fur :( See me sitting at the front of the boat? I nearly fell in once! See the large lily pad I am on? Well, when the ladies are doing their washing in the river, they put their newborn baby onto the lily pad and it is quite safe! There are piranhas in the river and they have very sharp teeth. If you swim with a cut, you will be eaten! I have also put on a few scary photos I took, of a tarantula, a rainbow boa and a baby caiman, a bit like a crocodile.
