Well firstly, as you can see from our picture below, we had a rather difficult (for us) river crossing.
While it was nice sunbathing on a sandy beach, it wasn't helping us get across. The river was too wide for us to jump across and it was flowing a bit fast for us to swim across, and anyway, although the sun was out, it was still February and, therefore, winter. While George searched around for raft building materials, I (Yorkie) found a much more attractive option. I spied with my little eye, a tractor, which the forestry workers had left unattended.
Can you see us climbing up to the cab. With this transport available to us, there was no way we were going to get wet and muddy! We drove across in style. It was only at this point that our minders caught us up and told us that we didn't need to cross at all and now needed to cross back to continue with the walk. Oh well, we thought, at least we'd had a bit of fun and in the end hadn't inconvenienced the real tractor driver by leaving his tractor the wrong side of the river (you might call it a stream, but to small bears like us, it was a river!)
But what was it we said about not getting wet and muddy?! We spoke far too soon. The Moyle way climbed upwards from the river and started to become very boggy.
In our picture you see us still looking quite clean, but we couldn't stay where we were all day, and had to take the path which was the muddy and boggy ground in the middle. Still, bears secretly quite like being messy, and we felt like real army commandos with our blackened faces.
Keep reading for the next instalment.
Lots of love George & Yorkie xxx

Suffolk Branch have a suggestion - our minders are safely back from Venice and we are in the throes of decorating. We are all wearing SOCO type paper suits to protect our fur and reckon these could also be used in very muddy patches when out walking. We look very silly though!
Good idea - would they fit in our lunch box?
Love George & Yorkie xxx
