2800m Altitude, I didn't think that bears could get altitude sickness. 

I am surrounded by volcanos, hopefully they will stay quiet while I am here.

Stopped for a spot of Lunch on my way to Ecuador.  24hours in a plane is no fun for a small bear.

Arrived back in Houston on my way home.  Tired and footsore.

Home Finally.  After three weeks at 3000m you would have thought I would have plenty of energy, but no, all I want to do is sleep.

After a long flight stowing away in Nicky’s lumpy hand luggage, I really need some fresh air, so I’m off to see the sea lions at Pier 39.  Honky, the sea lion told me to take a boat trip around the bay to see the sights.

Alcatraz looks a bit scary.  I don’t think I’ll stop off there.

That is one ginormous seagull – scarier than Alcatraz.  I met two nice American ladies on the boat, who promised to look up my travels on the website.

Off on a bus now to the Golden Gate Bridge (all these different modes of transport – Travel Ted will be really jealous).

Another long journey, by bus this time, hoping to see some big bears.  Lots of snow (in California?!) so they are probably all in bed asleep, will have to console myself with a bear on a badge instead.

Viva Las Vegas

I’m off to the slots to lose my life savings (about £2.50).  Staying at the Bellagio (quite bear friendly) but no sign of George Clooney and his gang trying to rob the place again – maybe I could be in ‘Ocean’s 14’.

The strip is very pretty, but I’m a bit scared of all the traffic.

Another aeroplane trip; a really small one this time and I feel really bear sick.  When we get off, we have to get on a helicopter and fly around over the Canyon.  I’m quite excited, but I think I should take a sick bag with me.

Yet another flight, but a good view of the Hoover Dam.  I’m told It’s made out of old vacuum cleaner parts.

After all the excitement of Las Vegas, I decided a nice relaxing trip to Malta would be nice. 

The harbour is very pretty.  I’m getting quite experienced in these boat trips.

Now that is more like it.  A Martini and an evening in a piano bar.  Just the thing.  My boring friends are playing Scrabble, they just don’t know how to enjoy themselves.

Wey hey - I'm in the news!

Sorry, I've been a bit slack of late, but I have been travelling, so updates to follow.

Back home again for a bit, but promise to travel again soon.

Ivor Navotny

Travel Ted came to visit today, I was quite excited and it was a good excuse to go out for dinner.  We went to a very nice vegetarian restaurant as TT was bringing his new friend Nuada with him and no-one was sure what he ate; but we all thought veggies were a safe bet.

Nuada seems like a very nice moose, but TT was busy showing him the sights, so they couldn't stop long.  Bit of a shame really as Nuada told me that one of his missions is to visit a castle and I live in one.  Maybe he'll come back and visit again soon.
