Or maybe it was the bath with Mad Cyril He looks like he would have created quite a splash :H:H

I thought the exact same Missy. She looks like she's finally let her attitude guard down and is relaxing.

Very sweet Enja.

I think she's very possessive of Piglet and doesn't like it that another female is close enough to even be taking a picture of him. Maybe it's time for a male host for the Piglet Tour. Tipster for example. Or Techie, or Mr. G or Reggie. Now that would be a hoot. I imagine that Reggie would give us an unforgettable visit.

Anyway, the pictures are adorable. Bath time and bed time. Priceless. Again, :goodjob: Enja!!!

Rockin' on the high seas with Reg gets my vote. No offense Techstar and G'man. Just queue up.

I think she's enjoying all the Eucalyptus trees we have here!

Thanks, stirly! You're right, it is probably time to think about their next destination (:upset I'm hoping to take them to a few more places around the city before they leave but if anyone would like to host them next send me a PM and we can sort out the travel plans!

Today Piglet and Miss K set off to see if they can find the treasure the koalas claimed was somewhere in Enjaland.....


It took almost all day but Miss K finally found something hidden in a tree


A treasure map!


Hooray! They find the treasure chest....just as the koalas described

Phew - that was an exhausting day (for some more than others!) - time for a reviving drink of Bourn-vita in its special mug, then a quick freshen up so they can....



....wish everyone a Happy St Patrick's Day!

Should have been a pot o' gold but didn't think of that till just now :H


Nighty, night...time for bed - back to sightseeing tomorrow

I just lovethis thread! Your pictures are amazing and you've put so much research into explaining the history. I love the adventures the critters are up to. Thanks for a wonderful imagination! I want to get tucked in too!

Hello! Well, the weather improved - stopped raining but it's been quite chilly with quite a brisk wind blowing but we bundled up and headed off to tackle Tourist Territory....Fishermans Wharf :H

We started off at Aquatic Park which is right next to the Hyde Street Pier/wharf area, a cable car turnaround and Ghirardelli Square


Angle Island and Alcatraz and part of the Hyde Street Pier


The "Balclutha" is a cargo ship that sailed between Cardiff and San Francisco in the late 1800's as well as sailing around Cape Horn, New Zealand and to the tip of South America. The ship was acquired and restored by the SF Maritime Park in the '50s and is now moored at the Hyde Street Pier. We spent a lot of time here when my son was young - he used to call the area "Ships Ahoy" :l :H

Ghiradelli Chocolate has been in this location since 1893 (This is behind you if you're looking at the bay from Aquatic Park)


At the end of the little beach are the Dolphin Club, founded in 1877 and right next door the Southend Rowing Club, founded in 1873 - both are athletic clubs whose members swim in the water at Aquatic Park amongst other crazy things :H

The entrance of Hyde Street Pier - I was planning to walk down and take pics of all the other boats but I had the puplet with me and I didn't realize they don't allow dogs :upset:


Starting to get closer to Fishermans Wharf....


...but there are still lots of *regular* businesses in addition to the touristy stuff



Day fishing boats for hire

It would have served him right if Jasper took a bite out of that lobster!


Boiling crabs and lobsters


These are what the guy fished out - they were steaming but you can't see it

Deepest tourist territory



Pier 39 is a sort of "Disneyfied" pier - best avoided if at all possible but it does have the attraction of sealions - I wanted to take pics but unfortunately Jasper got one whiff of them (they STINK!!!) and completely freaked out, started shaking, tucked his tail and tried to run in the opposite direction. So, no sealion photos but hopefully this link will work for you Sea Lion Webcam


This is Boudin bakery, they are one of the bakers that make our famous sourdough bread
