My visit to Frankfurt by Rocco

Hi gang!
 
I thought I'd better write today as Chelmer seems incapable. He's been on the internet all day, I think checking flights to Frankfurt. He's been really badly smitten by Teddy De Baer, who we met at the weekend. She's about 7 years older than us but even I have to admit that she wears her age well. She was quite good company too. She ate and drank a bit too much for my liking and I'm sure she is harbouring some dark secret. She was very moody at times - a fact which Chelmer was oblivious to. You should have seen him. He carried her bag all day, found seats for her, bought her nearly a pound of Haribos - and she was lapping it all up. I tell you if they'd been my only company I'd have screamed!

As it was, Katrin, who we were staying with, and who is Birgit's sister, was absolutely wonderful. She was charming, funny, very good looking for a non-bear, and although at times somewhat embarrassed about being seen with us two prize specimen of the bear world, you could almost forget that she was human. Oh yes, and she was an excellent cook!

I can recommend the skyscraper festival to all of you. We enjoyed lots of rides, spectacular architecture, great weather, jaw dropping stunts and brilliant music. The atmosphere was very peaceful and Germans seem a very inclusive nation. They even had a bear band! This liberal attitude and lack of prejudice really surprised me very pleasantly.


Ok. I'm just off to do the washing up as Wade has gone to Tai Chi and Birgit is flaked out on the sofa, looking brain dead.
 
Speak to you soon,

My visit to Frankfurt by Chelmer

Hello you lot,
 
We were completely and utterly gone when we arrived back here from the fantastic skyscraper festival in Frankfurt last night!!! We got up at 3 am on Saturday morning and by midday we had met Teddy De Baer. Nobody had told us that Teddy was a girl!!!!!!!!!! And, you've probably guessed this already, but Rocco is in love! Being the more mature, I let him believe that she was interested in him, when really she only had eyes for me. But I played it cool. However, I know she was looking at me when I abseiled from various towers, bungee jumped without screaming and did a 200 m zipwire off the second highest tower without twitching. She daintily fed me little morsels when we were having lunch 30 m up in the air suspended from a crane, and I'm sure you can also tell that we are far closer from the enclosed photo, although I made sure that Rocco didn't feel too left out. However, at that particular moment he was engrossed in the strawberries, being the pig that he is.


Teddy and I have exchanged addresses and I'm sure I'm going to see her again. I wished you could have met her. She smelt lovely and had the most interesting and varied personality. We discussed architecture, relationships, and many other things, but the best thing was that we shared a tremendous sense of fun. She went on nearly as many attractions as I did and on some we went together. We raced each other up a tower on a bicycle ( I let her win) and we did a bungee jump where we were tied into a sack together, winched up about 50 m and then dropped without warning. My assured presence meant that she hardly squealed! By the time the amazing fireworks started we were really very close and she dropped her head onto my shoulder to get an easier view.
Anyway, it's nearly dinner time now and I want to send off a quick email to her before I eat. I'm sure she's been waiting for it all day.
 
With much love,
Chelmer
