Lil' Ted & Benny the Koala

When I arrived at the airport to fly to NZ on 22nd February I discovered a little stowaway in my bag. Not wanting to be left out Lil' Bear had decided to join me on my journey, afterall he said he'd never been to New Zealand! So who was I to refuse him?

Is this our plane?

Typical British weather, raining as we leave!

Hmm... a bit of a squash, certainly didn't want to sit here for long, especially with The Balancing Kiwi getting motion sick during the first half of the journey and spending a couple of hours with her head in paper bags! euwwyuk, too much information Lil Bear!

This is more like it - time for adventure!

Getting to know a new friend was fun as we spent lots of time cavorting in trees and shrubs. Benny the Koala was a new arrival - actually he too was a stowaway from Australia, having caught a ride with TC who came over to spend a few days with TBK in Kerikeri, luckily we hit it off straight away.

Uh Oh, who is this though - has Benny been arrested by Bob the PC?


It's looking possible. Did Bob follow Lil' Ted all the way from Hamley's Metropolitan Police Station in London in the hope of catching a fugitive?

Quick hide with me!

Grab my hand, but don't pull me in!

Is it too late?

Or has Benny the Koala managed to escape and hide?

Did he stay in NZ? Or did he swap places with Bob?

Who came back to England? Who returned to Australia?

You may well ask!
