At the very famous factory ...


for?

Yes, porcelain in Meissen, Germany.










The lady there was very nice and showed me how the drawings get done.

No matter how much I begged, she did not want to draw a plate for myself. My own little bear traveling porcelain plate to take along on my travels, the would have been grand!

But as I think about it, carrying it around in a wooden box full of straw for one plate, I guess my traveling options would be very limited then. Well, since I often have to stow away for my travels anyways, I guess it is better I keep traveling light.


After a while I got so tired, I took a little nap alongside this astonishing sculpture.

Visiting Dresden ...

and sitting posh in the "Zwinger" garden. (I am sitting below the lamp on the pillar.) Blind people, tztz.

Visiting a Wine makery ...

I am in Saxony, Germany. They make great "Sekt" (bubbly wine), yumm.

This was really scenic and romantic. It is the winehill which used to belong to the castle "Wackerbarth", which still exists and belongs to the winery.

Little Bear visits the "Linie Maginot"

I am in cheese land, ehm, France again,
getting a taste of "Flammkuchen", after hearing talks about it tasting sooo nice.















Here I am getting my paws on some ripe "French" cherries, not
guessing what lies far below the tree.













This is what I found below, the “Ligne Maginot”













But was I wrong, I had to get all the work done which was left lying around. I hat to type strange letters in French on an old typewriter.

I had calls to make to tell people that the war was over. (You never know in these underground buildings, people might still be sitting in the lookout.)














I guess they had little bears during the war, lot at this splendid bathtub!













I even had to take the train for a spin to make sure it runs well.







And I was told these where the filters which
filtered the air for the tunnels and bunker, even rabbits don´t
have that!

Vacation in Egypt

It´s me again, I´m on another trip to Egypt from the Munich Airport.






Here I am, the god everyone prays to.


Oh well, just a wish but this used to be the post where the holy statue was placed in this temple. Where was this one again .... ?






Back at the Nile boat I though I was safe from Nile crocodiles, but alas, it still got me.

I know know how Crocodile Dundee felt, I can´t say it is fun. this crocodile even though it was Übercool, it was wearing shades for crying out loud!

Here I am chilling on the roof of the river boats deck, safe from crocs.
