Holiday hats and pink camels

Well as you can see I couldn’t resist the pink camel and I even managed to find a matching pink sombrero. Do you think it suits me???

Well I must go, we’ve got a plane to catch.

I’ll update you soon

Hello again from Lanzarote

Hello again from Lanzarote! I’ve had lots of adventures since I last wrote. The biggest one was going for a ride on a camel – she was huge! I sat in a basket hooked over her hump which wobbled around a lot as she walked along. She wasn’t very friendly and kept turning round to spit at me! Most of the camels had someone sitting on each side of the basket to balance it, but because I’m so small and light I was allowed one all to myself. All the camels walked along in a procession, though I decided from the spitting that she’d rather have stayed lying down. Not that I could blame her in that heat!

The camels walked a long way up the side of a mountain, which turned out to be a volcano! I’ve seen lots of pictures of volcanoes but couldn’t believe I was actually on one. Sarah and I got off our camels and poked a big stick with twigs on the end down into the crater, and it was so hot down there that they caught fire!

The next morning we went to the market. It opened really early so we had to get up at 6am. I had to keep tickling Sarah until she woke! It was worth it though because we found this amazing red spotty dress – doesn’t it suit me!

We also found a stall selling cuddly camels, and I decided to buy one as a souvenir of my camel ride. I liked all the brown ones but there was just one pink one which I couldn’t resist!

I found this flower on the ground by the flower stall so I picked it up and put it in my fur. I’m sending you a big wave to say goodbye from Lanzarote as we’re going back home soon – though I should have time to write you a postcard before we go!

With humps and spots,
