Oops! wrong picture :(

My nutella gatherers have pointed out that in yesterday's blog, i posted the right text, but the wrong picture. so here we go again ...

well, my time in israel is nearly at an end :(
it's been a cracking adventure, and what better way of finishing than with a picture of me with some chicks!
Bright, soft feathers and very, very cute!
It's a good job that small seal doesn't get jealous.

this very tall lady with her wand was very pleased to give me hug. how was it? magic!

bear hug!

After pretending to be a Roman centurion earlier in my Israel adventure, i had the chance to get a bear hug from the real deal! squeee!
so here i am posing with my new centurion friend. his armour was a little cold on my fur, but you know i just love hugs!

fountain of delights

after wanting to share with you the excitement of the spa, i forgot that yesterday marked the 150th bearblog! can you believe that i've been on so many adventures?

here i am posing by a rather impressive fountain. i thought it was both impressive and a fountain, and worth posing in front of.

sadly, this was the last big adventure of israel as on the last day my nutella gatherers told me that i was being taken to tel aviv for a big trade show. which sounds really boring - but wait till you see what i got up to there!

wet paws

well, after all the excitement of the boat trip, i decided it was time to seek out some warmer water. and here i am working hard at relaxing. well, it had been an adventurous adventure: nearly falling down a mountain, pretending to be a centurion, getting some sea legs and, of course, enjoying some local plonk and enduring some plink, plink fizz for my fuzz-wuzzed head.
small seal is in this picture, but you can't see her as she's diving deep down in the hot spa. i'm just thinking about dipping my paws in, but let me tell you that the nice warm steam loosened my joints and worked a treat! i was very relaxed and a very happy bear indeed

Climb the rigging

hello friends.
while i was on the boat, i couldn't resist pretending to be a cabin bear - could hardly be a pirate captain, could i - small seal wouldn't sit on my shoulder crying 'pieces of eight!', would she?
so, here i am climbing the rigging and being look out. but there wasn't much to see, just plenty of birds and lots of water.

yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

in case of emergency, use the exit!

Hi friends!
As my boat trip was a little longer than a short boat trip would be, i decided to take a walk around the deck. is the correct term a poop around the deck?
just to bear on the safe side, i had a quick check for the emergency exit - and here i am posing next to it. if you go out of the frying pan, you'll go straight into the fire as it's just the side of the boat. small seal, who was still paddling alongside the boat, promised she'd catch me in her flippers if the worst came to the worst. i just didn't want to get my fur wet.

a calm adventure across the lake

After all the excitement and fuzzyheadednessness of my little scrape, small seal and i decided to take a trip across lake galilee. as small seal had been on dry land for a few days, she decided to swim alongside the boat what i got on - i didn't fancy getting my paws wet. so here i am making myself comfy and hoping that the sea isn't too rough. after all that wine, i don't fancy being sea sick

bears with bottle

i

well, after nearly falling off a mountain to certain doom, i needed a drink to recover. thankfully, there was some more excellent golan wine available: red this time.
after a few glasses (the bottles were bigger than a bear!) i was much happier if a little unsteady on my back paws.
in the morning i had a head like a sore bear. can't think why.

the bear went over the mountain

This was a scary moment: i nearly fell down a mountain!
here i was just admiring the view and looked down - my goodness, it was a long way down. and there were wild boars running around ready to chomp on naughty bears. oh my! the thought made me very giddy and i tumbled over the rail - almost to my doom.

but as you know, i'm still here to tell the tail, thankfully! my quick thinking nutella gatherer leaned over and saw that i was clinging to the edge of the cliff with my paws - but only just as i was declawed before we went to israel. male nutella gatherer leaned through the fence, and rescued me. my, my, my! that was a lucky escape.

the worst thing about all this was not falling off, but not having any nutella on hand to revive me. i was in shock for several hours, and some sweet chocolate/hazelnutty goodness would soon have brought me round again.

not my happiest adventure, but it's okay, i'm alright now!
