Bill's adventure so far...(2004652)

One quick visit to McDonalds in Cocoa Beach Florida before I started my next journey and I had to get my picture taken there to share with you.  My happy meal made me sit and think of this "out of this world experience" that I hope will be in my future.

Arriving in Florida was very exciting. I arrived on the 4th of July and heard fireworks all night as I was was waiting for Sue to open the box I was shipped in.  She was so excited to know that someone sent her a bear and gave me lots of hugs. After reading my passport she realized Florida is a stop on my around the world trip.  We visited the beach for a very early morning sunrise and saw the turtle tracks of all the turtles that come to lay their eggs at night on the beaches here.  But my most exciting trip was to the Kennedy Space Center and the Astronaut Hall of Fame.  I was able to see where the rockets launch and learn about the space shuttle that launches from herein Florida. I hope I get to visit again to watch a shuttle launch to the international space station.  If my adventure was a bit longer in Florida I would have gone to see Mickey Mouse at Disney World in Orlando Florida which is only an hour away.  But I need to move on and visit so many other places.  Tomorrow it will be back in the box and off to see more of the world.  To visit the web sites of place I have traveled in florida click on the links below.

I've had a fantastic time in England, last weekend I was invited to a wedding and I got to ride in a Rolls Royce! I've also been playing with my friend David's tortoises, although sometimes they try and nibble on my toes - luckily I'm far too quick for them. I'm leaving tomorrow to do some more exploring around this big wide world. Stay tuned for the next leg of my epic adventure. Love Bill the Bear. xxx.

Daddy's lastest trip was to New York City, which he says is also called the Big Apple. Bill had fun in central park looking at all the people walking dogs. Bill also went to an exhibition about Superheroes at the MET, where he met Spider Man. Here's a picture of Bill in front of the Empire State Building. Dad said that when he got back to London and stayed with his friend David, Bill wanted to stay on, so Bill's in London now and about to set off on an even wilder adventure! I wonder where he will end up? Please look ater him for me!

Bill and daddy went to Warsaw this week. Here's a picture of Bill at the Hotel Intercontinental. Bill was very impressed by the woman playing the harp at breakfast, and enjoyed watching the chef making omelettes. Bill and dad went for a walk in the park too, where they saw some Peacocks strutting around in the grounds of an old house. Bill borrowed dad's sunglasses on the first day as it was lovely and sunny. On the plane home, Bill was a bit afraid as the airport was being attacked by a lightning storm, so the take-off was very bumpy!

After Prague, Bill trotted off to Kyiv in Ukraine. As it was springtime, and the sun was out, Bill and Daddy went for a walk to Independence Square, which daddy says is the home of the Orange Revolution. I said I would prefer an Apple Revolution, as I don't like oranges. As it was so hot, Bill took a quick nap in the shade.

Bill went to Prague last week with my daddy. Bill liked the Charles Bridge a lot but got a little afraid of some of the gargoyles there. Here's a picture of Bill with Prague Castle in the background.

Bill went to London with my Dad this week. Here he is hanging out with one of the four lions guarding Nelson's Column. Bill thought it was a bit grey and cold in London compared to Vietnam.

Bill went to Vietnam with my Mum. Here he is at the hotel lobby. It was even hotter in Saigon than in Italy.

Bill came with us to Italy last summer. Here he is on the sleeper train with my big brother Samuel. We put Bill by the window so that he could look outside. He liked it a lot. Bill thought it was very hot in Livorno when we arrived. Being a Swedish bear, he has trouble with hot weather.

Here is Bill at the British Embassy, getting his passport stamped. The Vice Consul James Moody had a few questions about Bill’s Visa application, so he had him in for a few questions. All went well, so now Bill can travel anywhere! The nice people at the Embassy didn’t know where he should get a visa for the moon though!

This is a picture of me and Bill at home. Bill is an astronaut bear. He is very adventurous. Bill likes hugs and wants to go to the moon. Please look after him!
