As we said previously, we like to play a game we call Mountains!
Today, we have some photos of the mountain we climbed!
To be honest, we are excellent mountain climbers, we have never been beaten by a mountain. Today’s mountain was pretty easy, just something for us to climb before a relaxing weekend.
I point the way to the summit, some distance in the sky:

Before a climb, we like to get a burst of energy by shouting “Yay, Mountains!!!”

Polar Bear is a little lighter than me so he quickly scrambles ahead to check out the terrain higher up and report back any useful info to me, after I give him a useful hand up the mountain side

Once Polar Bear has cleared the mountain for me, I begin my ascent. Polar Bear is an extremely useful and accomplished climbing partner and uses his strength to help me reach the summit

Things get very dramatic as I am so close to joining my best friend at the top, just one more push and Polar Bear hauls me up to his ledge!

That was a great climb!
We celebrate with a nice happy photo on the ledge and a nice Mountain lunch!

Yay Mountains!!!!

Phew! What a scorcher!
I am in Riga once again with the Silly One while Shush Bear is in Australia. We are in the same hotel as on our last visit but this trip is very different.
Last time the weather was perfect for me, minus 15 degrees at times. This time, it is 32 degrees! Far too hot for a Polar Bear!
I have no choice but to relax in the hotel room with plenty of water to keep me cool.

The Silly One set me up with a nice pillow to sleep on during the day and of course, I sleep in the bed at night, but he does make some very strange noises, he is even louder than me at full volume!

Ah yes, this is nice!

When I am on a trip, I do like to relax in the room, usually with a good magazine.
Luckily, the hotel provided me with the latest copy of my favourite travel magazine so I could keep up to date with the latest trends in travel for special bears like me.
I spoke to Polar Bear last night and even though I am in Australia, he is having hotter weather than me!
He is back in Riga with the Silly One but he is quite annoyed that he does not have his own bed this time and I can fully understand how he feels.
You see, a bear likes to have room to roam during the night, room to explore his surroundings. So sharing a bed is not ideal.
I don’t mind sharing with the Pretty One because she is so totally awesome and cuddles me all night. As long as she doesn’t steal the TV remote to watch her stories!
Anyway, back to my relaxing read!
