Travelog for: Travel Ted

Although the weather was cold, Travel Ted went for an extremely long walk through Berlin’s Tiergarten, where he saw many interesting things. He stopped to have his picture taken at the Soviet War Memorial, which commemorated those who died in the Battle of Berlin in 1945, and was also very interested to see an artillery tank close up. Further down the road he stopped to admire a statue of Prince Otto von Bismarck, the first Chancellor of the German Empire. The final destination of his tiring but exciting trek was the Berlin Victory Column – a monument he was very keen to see because it features prominently in a very brilliant film called ‘Wings of Desire’.

Travel Ted LOVED Italy, and was delighted to be spending a few days in Rome. Where better to start his adventure than the Colosseum – a huge and well-preserved amphitheatre where all sorts of dastardly deeds had been done? Oh boy, this place was big!!! The upper levels also afforded some really great views across to the Roman Forum, which gave Travel Ted an idea for the rest of the afternoon…

Oh wait! No! One last look! It was so hard for Travel Ted to tear himself away… And that big arch down below looked really interesting too…

But the Roman Forum was great. This was a very historic site, filled with lots of ruined temples and other fascinating things. Travel Ted was pleased he’d made the effort – although his paws felt very tired by the time he’d done the full rounds.
