Journey through Turkey

I have met lots of friends in Turkey and can even speak some Turkish words! If you say 'tea sugar' it sounds the same as 'thank you' in Turkish, so I have been using my manners :) In the picture of the amphitheatre, gladiators used to fight with each other and wild animals too. I visited Anzac Cove and saw the graves of soldiers who died fighting. It was very sad.

Here I am in Turkey

I have been in Istanbul and met a new friend - Stephan and his sister. They run a restaurant. Istanbul has 17,000,000 people living there and it is noisy. Several times a day the people are called to prayer in the mosque. Here is a picture of the Blue Mosque.

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?
