It was a place where this happens ...
... although we suspect the equipment used nowadays is rather more modern. Yes, we had arrived at none other than the famous Atlas film studios.
Before a tour, we needed to rehydrate after all our cycling in the hot sun. While our minders downed a coke beside the swimming pool (yes, you can stay at the film studios), Yorkie managed to get himself into a spot of bother.
As you can see he was in danger of being cooked alive in a cauldron. Had I not come to the rescue he might have had serious need of that pool close by.
As our tour got underway, Yorkie got his turn to repay me. I was testing out the posts for tying slaves to, from another Gladiator film set, when I got stuck and had to ask Yorkie to release me.
The tour was great fun and we saw lots of interesting sets. We racked our brains to recall scenes from film such as Kundun, The Mummy, Cleopatra and the Kingdom of Heaven so we could perform some re-enactments.
Despite all the fine sets, our favourite thing was the catapult we found. We took turns to see how far we could travel and at what speed. Looking back at it now, we really should have worn crash helmets!
Lots of love, George and Yorkie xxx
