Spain - 11th May 2017

Nice day in Madrid for a spot of sight-seeing

 The artist Diego Velazquez

Wow this Aniseed drink is strong.

On the train from Madrid to Barcelona

Sagrada Familia in Barcelona

mmmm Tapas with Red Wine. Great idea to come here

Pink Flor's favourite car. A classic Morgan

At the Arc de Triomphe

More tapas. I think I am going to put weight on after this trip.

Time to relax in a night club. Well I am on holiday right!

Nice and warm on the beech. Time for a sun tan

 

 

It's so hot, I needed to stop for a quick drink at this fountain

A little cooler at the docks. Wonder what that man is doing on the water?

A quick drink at El Bosc de les Fades

I love the decoration here.

Arrived in Girona

Spent a great day wandering the streets.

Urabá - 1st November 2016

Pink Flor apologises as he has been a little lazy these past few years. He has decided to make amends and from today will start to publish the missing blog entries starting with Uraba in Northern Antioquia Colombia.

Pink Flor visits the 'Piedras Blancas' falls on the journey to Urabá

He catches a ride on the Banana train at a local banana plantation

Wow, it's great up here. Flor was trilled with the ride

In the Banana washing plant. Flor wanted the labels for all the banana customers supplied from the plantation

In the packaging plant. Flor found that these bananas were to be sold in Colombia

What a mountain of bananas

Flor found out that these bananas were to be supplied to Europe

Flor visited the carton stores where all the boxes are assembled.

This box is just my size.

After a busy day at the plantation, Flor decided to take a small snack.



Stop, Stop, it tickles. FLor playing with a new friend.

Flor at the washing station

So that's what a banana flower looks like

Pink Flor decided that it was a good idea to visit a pineapple plantation.

Where are the pineapples?

Pink Flor in Geneva Switzerland - 13th May 2016

After the grueling 15 hour flight from Medellin to Geneva,
Pink Flor decided to use the train to get around
He absolutely loved the carousel in the Botanical Gardens.
In fact he liked it so much he asked for additional photographs
A warm sunny day at the lake was just perfect to recover from his jet-lag
Back to the Botanical Gardens to explore the remainder of the park.
Snow on the mountains! How cool
And right there in the background is Mont Blanc
You can not visit Geneva without seeing the Jet. Pink Flor got so excited. 
Pink Flor decided to play hide and seek. Can you see him?
Ever the socialite, Pink Flor makes a new friend
At last a Pink Flor sized house with a view of the lake
Pink Flor was thirsty, but found it very hard to drink from the fountain without taking a shower at the same time
Two new friends in one day. They promised to keep in touch using social media
Geneva can be very tiring, so Pink Flor asked for a ride home.
