April 2012

Linda Porter took Beatrice bug to pay her respects at the old World War I front line north of Ypres in Belgium and then for some culture and sightseeing in Lille at the Musee des Beaux Arts and Porte de Paris.

March 2012

Basil bug fancied a bit of winter sunshine so took himself off to Uganda for a couple of weeks. Everyone has to have a photo on the equator. Basil was no exception!

Bembles Bug joined Katie Stocks for a year in Australia. Here is he posing beside the river in South Perth with Perth City in the background.

February 2012

Sue Ablett took Baobob bug on a journey to central and northern South America. Lost in transit he missed out on a photo shoot in San Jose, capital of Costa Rica. He made up for it with an appearance on San Josecito Beach, Costa Rica, before sailing to Isla Coiba, a former penal colony and now a national park and World Heritage Site in Panama. His next stop in Panama was a village called La Chunga, in the remote Darien Province. La Chunga is home to the indigenous people, the Embera, who only see foreign visitors about twice a year when they make their way up the Sambu River to the village. Then it was a shot on deck as his ship passed through the Panama Canal. Another day, another country - Cartagena in Colombia, where he posed beside one of the local yellow taxis. Bad weather meant he missed the next destination, but made up for it by a brief visit to Islas Los Roques, a stunning archipelago in Venezuela. Near the end now but pulled in a beach visit to the marine park of Tobago Cays in St Vincent and the Grenadines. What better way to end the trip than a visit to a rum distillery in Barbados?!
