Who goes bear?

here i am pretending to be a roman soldier!
if i had been a centurion, i would have stopped everyone and searched them for nutella - someone has to have them somewhere in israel.
small seal says if i was on guard duty and i heard someone coming at night i would shout 'who goes bear?' I'd rather just be grizzly at them instead.

Bear poem

Here's a sign I couldn't pass
It says 'Keep off the grass'!

Whine? No, wine!

All this siteseeing is quite wearisome, even for a small lovely bear like myself. So you can imagine my delight when we were taken to the Golan Heights Winery - and given some samples of their fizzy stuff. Sadly they didn't recommend any wines to go with nutella, but they do have a tasting room, which accommodates up to 60 people. at the end of the session, small seal assured me, it accommodates up to 120.

Meeting the local wildlife

Can you ribbit? here i am trying to get to the bottom of a very large frog that was in one of the many hotels i poked my head round for a spot of luncheon. small seal was in heaven as she was served fish at just about every meal while i got my paws on as much fresh humous as i possibly could, it almost made up for the lack of nutella :(

still, this frog let me sit on his head for a quick snap, but then he told me to hoppit.

potty time!

here i am helping the nice people at the roman tibearias village. i'm helping them restore some old pots wot they have found. they make us stick the pieces together like a big jigsaw puzzle, hold them in place with masking tape and then glue it all together. i had to be very careful in case the glue stuck to my fur. that wouldn't have been very nice. if i'd tried to lick it off, my furry paws would then get stuck to my furry mouth - yuk!

ps - did you get any valentine's today? small seal liked the card i sent her, it had two bears on the front having fun in front of a fireplace. couldn't find any cards with bears and seals on. maybe next year?

roman baths

do you remember the spa baths from the other day? well, here i am outside what would have been the roman version of the spa, just over the road from the modern spa complex in tibearias. there's not a lot of water in there now, thankfully, as i didn't fancy getting my fur wet again: just a bath once a year for bears! small seal was disapointed though, she was looking forward to flipping the water around with her flippers.
i wonder what the romans did for nutella?

bear necessities

some of you may be wondering what i packed to go away with - well on this trip, i took small seal, my pawsport and a change of fur. no nutella, no sun lotion, not even the kitchen sink. you could say i travelled with just the bear necessities!

i spent a lot of time in israel searching high and low for some nutella - did i find any? well, there was none here. despite being in the remains of an old roman town in tiberias (after all, nutella is italian) there was nothing to be seen here. but there was a marvellous looking cave to climb into, which you can see in the hill to the right of me!

spatastic!

it was a surprise to see that there were so many spas in israel: i must have been taken to at least four during the short adventure, almost one a day. this is me snapped outside a natural hot spring in tibearias - you can the fountains spraying my ears!
This was snapped on a lovely warm day as well, about 18C - a far cry from the snow and things that i've spent the day avoiding.

Bear's new adventure

Hello friends, did you miss me?
I've had a fantastic week visiting somewhere i've never set paws on before - israel.
sadly, i couldn't spy any nutella, so as you can imagine, i spent the whole week pining for some chocolate-hazelnutty goodness. but i did make up for it by scoffing three puddings at every meal - tee hee hee!
over the next few days, i'll be showing off all the exciting pictures small seal took of me during my travels. i'm starting with one of my favourites, which is me and the view over lake galilee. it was lovely and calm and very warm. i'd loved to have stopped for a paddle, but my nutella gatherers wanted to get back to the hotel for dinner. and who am i to refuse some food?

A new Bear adventure

Now that i know i can climb trees again - as you can see above - i know that i'm over my terrible spots. that means i'm ready to go on a new adventure!
my nutella gatherers have packed a case for me and small seal, fished out our passports and dug out some nutella and pilchards (not in the same jar - yuk!) for the journey. and we're off on our travels. look out for my new adventure next week!

Bear mail

Dear bear and small seal,
here are some pictures of my New Year adventure. As you will see I got a bit muddy.

That was after I invaded the nativity scene.

Raffeee

Bear says: Thanks Raffeee! we always look forward to seeing your pictures. don't forget to send me yours at naughty dot bear at hotmail dot com!

Bear up a tree

It's been good to get out and about again - feeling the wind russle my fur and the cold draught on my nutella sandwiches. here i am doing one of my favourite things in the whole wide world ever. yes, i'm climbing a tree! yippee! it wasn't a big tree, i wanted to flex my tree climbing mussles before tackling a proper climb, but it was fun nonetheless.

A message from poorly bear

hello friends, the good news is my spots are starting to go down and i've managed to snuffle at a little nutella. i've even managed to get my paws on to the keyboard to say hello to you all again. the bad news is that i'm still a poorly bear with a fuzzy wuzzy head. this has nearly knocked the stuffing out of me :(

it's just as well that small seal has been able to keep you amused. hopefully it'll not be long before i'll be pawsed for action on another exciting adventure

while i'm bed bound, why don't you send me some pictures of your adventures to share with others? my email is naughty.bear at hotmail dot com

Oh I do like to be beside the seal-side

Hello, me again. Bear is still not well so I thought I'd share another picture of my visit to the seaside. Here I am sizing up the waves, but I decided it was a little too choppy for a swim. Besides, I didn't want to get my new bow wet - do you like it? I wore it to the party I went to with Bear and liked it so much I wanted to keep wearing it. It's just my colour!

Bear sends you a bear-hug and hopes he is well enough to eat nutella - and do the next blog - soon.

Lots of love

jolly boating weather

while naughty bear is recovering from his spotty pox, i had an adventure by myself and wanted to tell you about it. hope you don't mind.
being a seal, I like being near the sea, so i went for a visit to the seaside. it was very windy and the waves looked a little bit big for a small seal like me to swim in, so i found a boat to sit in to watch the waves instead

great fun and no nutella or bears in sight.

love
small seal

PS. I've passed on your messages of goodwill to bear. He waves a poorly paw back to you.

Poorly bear

From this picture you can tell
Naughty bear has not been well,
With lots of spots he's stayed in bed
No nutella, he's not been fed
Small seal has visited her friend
Staying until he's on the mend.
