Travelog for: CATSS CAT

I'm very excited today as I'm now a Toy Voyager.

I've been stuck in the office at Dial A Ride but now I can go out and about travelling.

Pierre Bear came to visit a few weeks ago and he got to go out, I was so jealous.

Now it's my turn.

I went to Wokingham today to visit 'Keep Mobile'. I was a bit worried because I thought I might have to keep fit or something but I needn't have been, 'Keep Mobile' is another local Community Transport Operation, just like Dial A Ride. So, I've now met other Dial A Ride people in England. However, I still want to meet lots more, so I'm not going to tick off my mission just yet.

I had great fun climbing on the buses, I'm very small next to the large vehicles, although I'm told they are only 'mini' buses, which I don't really understand. It took me ages to climb up and I was scared a driver wouldn't see me, especially when I was on the wheel. I thought I might be squashed! When I climbed up onto the windscreen I slipped - it's VERY high up there - but luckily the wiper blade caught around me neck and stopped me falling, although it hurt a bit.

I've got lots of ideas of other things I want to do soon, like go to Australia to see Prowl Worshipper. I'm so excited, I can't wait.

Today Dial A Ride received its new bus, so I just had to climb aboard and take a look.

It's all shiny and smells lovely.

It was a struggle to climb into the driver's seat but I managed, with a little help from George.

Once I'd explored inside I climbed on the new step, the passenger lift and also the bonnet.

It was great fun. I can't wait to go out in it next week.

Cardiff today to watch Wales win at rugby ... ooops, that should be 'play rugby!

First stop in Cardiff . . . the pub!

I had my own pint but it was so big Di had to help me drink from it.

Later I had a second pint - Tiger Tom would be proud! - and wondered whether Di was aware that some rugby fans wearing different coloured shirts from her were so close!

As Di and her friend Cheryl had drunk just a little drop of beer they kindly tied me to Di's rucksack so I wouldn't get lost.
However, as you can see, once I got into the Millenium Stadium I untied the knot so I could see properly.

Hurrah! I went on a great adventure, getting passed to the front row and back up again.

On my way back up I climbed on this man's very fetching hat!

At the end of the match - Wales lost! - we hung around a bit.

I got a bit cold so I wrapped myself up in Cheryl's Welsh flag.

We decided to head off for home, but not before stopping at yet another pub, to drown our sorrows.
