Its been all go. We've moved house - I did a lot of the co-ordinating from the windowsill as I was worried I might get lost in the packing bags - and now me Fox and Growlette are off to Peru to hike the Inca trail.
It all started with packing, and unpacking, and packing again. A tearful farewell to BBW Dolphine, Eyore and Soffit and then a swift trip to George's who was going to take us to the big flying machine garage the next morning.
Apparently they go fast, though I'm not sure they can go as fast as the rocket I built earlier in the year, and maybe not as fast as we went to George's ... Wedgie left us a few months ago, Fox said it wasn't anything I did to upset him, but now a new wizzy thing has arrived. We haven't named him yet, but he's definitely a he, and has heating and a radio and everything. He also goes really fast, though Fox was careful to reign him in at the various photo opportunities along the way.
It seemed no time at all after going to bed that the Fox was repacking bags AGAIN and me and G were safely stowed in her pocket and on our way to the garage. I've never been aware of the concept of 0300, but lots of other people seemed to know about it because there were big queues of them everywhere. I handed over my passport and was searched by security (they wanted to check I had nothing stashed in between my flippers) and then, after going through a gate which didn't look like any gate I've ever seen before, there it was, the inside of a flying machine!
Fox managed to get a window seat and we were right over the wing - good to keep checking its still there from time to time. G and I couldn't see anything at first but once the machine started moving the window cleared and I could see buildings flashing past. Then we had a really fast surge and we lifted into the air. G was a bit scared, but I just shouted yippeeeeeeee!! We passed through some fluffy things and then spent 2 hours looking at the fluffy things from above ... It was really sunny up there and I wanted to jump out and bounce on it, it looked like cotton wool, but Fox explained it was really cold and wet and a retired caped green wonder should really stay inside.
There was no food and no drink unless you had Euros which Fox didn't. We didn't mind about the food because we'd brought all of that with us, but we were very thirsty as we hadn't bought water because we thought it was free on the flying machine. Anyway, then my ears started to feel all funny and I saw that we were inside the fluffy things rather than above them, and soon we were underneath them again. I could see lots of little Wedgies and houses which got bigger and bigger until the flying machine stoped flying and landed on a big road.
HOLA! Hurray - we're here!
PS. Fox says photos will follow but blogger is messing around and they're not appearing ...
