      International Ted travels the Med

      March 21st 

      You maybe aware that I was given International Ted a couple of weeks ago and asked to take him on a journey.  Not to let the side down, I took him along with pappa on a cruise of the Mediterranean.  Follow his photographic journal and see what he got up to on his travels...


      International Ted came to join me for a few days


      As it is cold in the UK the first thing I did
      was to crochet him a hat to keep him
      warm before heading off to sunnier climes


      International Ted has his own Twitter account
      and would love you to follow him and
      see where in the world he ends up, details at the end of the post

      He arrived with instructions to please
      tweet where in the world he would be...

      This was not International Ted's first flight
      as he had recently returned from a skiing trip in Canada

      Pringles, oh alright then...

      Having landed in the south of France he immediately
      sat down and waited for his hot chocolate to arrive

      Sightseeing in Italy began in earnest,
      but it was thirsty work...

      ...so he tried his first ever cocktail in Genoa

      International Ted was much admired

      He insisted on being a real 'tourist' and wanted
      his photograph taken everywhere we went

      Ted found sight seeing quite exhausting though

      He really got a taste for Italian gelato

      ...and worrying for cocktails too...

      Vodka martini or a Sea breeze, he just couldn't make up his mind

      After a long day and several drinks later the
      chambermaid tucked him up in bed

      As he couldn't find any swim wear Ted commissioned
      me to make him a string vest, this was it's
      first outing in the indoor pool

      By the time we arrived in Sicily, Ted refused to
      leave the ship and stayed on board leaving
      us to sight see without him.  Instead he spent the day
        trying the string vest outside by the infinity pool

      International Ted was so surprised to see
      UK telephone boxes and post boxes in Malta


      Barcelona and the cable car in the background

      A quick sunbathe before sight seeing

      Visiting La Sagrada Familia is
      a must in Barcelona
       
      Back on board and time for a quick dip
      in the 'middle' outside pool

      Such blue sky

      Beginning the journey home, Ted
      realised he just wanted to get there and quick,
      all this waiting around made him fed up

      International Ted was quite excited to
      spot his suitcase being loaded into cargo

      And back at home his crocheted hat was a must,
      brrr it's cold in the UK
       
       
         International Ted is now safely back in school ready for his next adventure.  Rumour has it he is visiting a new country over the Easter holidays, to find out more follow him on Twitter, he can be found under @WoodcoteTeds he would love you to follow his adventure around the world

      9. Life must be one long holiday for Travelling Ted or maybe he stays put in the classroom during school hours and helps his friends learn about the countries he visits?
