Epcot & a Disney Sea Cruise Dec 2008

What a FANTASTIC treat I got for Christmas!!

My usual (quite cheap) carers let me go off on a very lovely Christmas holiday with their friends Christian & Michelle.

C & M are always swanning off somewhere luxurious and expensive somewhere in the world. This is because they are famous, totally posh and completely loaded with money.


First, the three of us went to Disney's Epcot Center in Florida. Here I am photographed at the world's most difficult golf course. Humans have to practise for months just to be able to pick up the HUGE heavy clubs!


This is me lining up to get on a ride called "Soarin". Disney describe it on their website like this... With the wind in your hair, glide 40 feet in the air as you look down upon the breathtaking vistas of Yosemite and redwood forests. Soar as high as your imagination over a world of wonders. Of course for someone as tall as me this really wasn't so much of a big deal.


We walked all around Epcot's World Showcase, stopping at the Moroccan area, where I sampled a beer. The rest of the day was a blur.


We boarded our cruise liner. Christian & Michelle bought me a Christmas Present! I opened it straight away. It was a DVD box set of the first three seasons of "Lost" and a knitted scarf. I hope the scarf is long enough?


We all went for a big posh meal, sitting - of course - at the Captain's table. Does the menu really suggest "Crappa" as a course? It's the first time I've been ordered to do that at the dining table. I still can't work out why we got thrown out of the restaurant?!


We stayed at Walt Disney's private island (I think he's in a freezer somewhere at the back of the 7-11) Castaway Cay in the Bahamas. It was very posh indeed, but overrun with mice. One in particular.


We played charades on the beach. Here I am impersonating the late Hollywood starlet Cyd Charisse. For a giraffe, I make a darned good peacock!


I got some sunbathing in. Whilst I was asleep someone buried me up to my neck in sand. That must have taken a LOT of digging!!




They never had any snorkels for me, but I went swimming for a while. It was okay until the lionfish turned up, then I got a little scared.

All in all it was a fabulous time!!
