Wombat with a Cause(way)
The Wombat has been to the Giant's Causeway before of course. But he
enjoyed seeing it again on a much sunnier day!

A quick visit to Switzerland
The Wombat didn't spend much time in Switzerland, but he did get a chance to admire the famous fountain in Lake Geneva.

An eyeful of the Eiffel
Even though he was just passing through Paris, The Wombat couldn't miss the chance to take a look at the Eiffel Tower. Alas, he didn't have time to go up it though.

Presidents old and new in Washington DC
The Wombat made his first trip to Washington D.C.! On arrival on the Mall, he stopped to admire the Washington Monument in the distance.
After a detour to the Natural History Museum (more about that in another post), he got to look at the Washington Monument from another angle.
Next was a visit to the Lincoln memorial...
Including a chance to get up close and personal with Abe himself!
The Wombat was convinced that the Washington Memorial had shrunk! But it was patiently explained to him that it was "just far away".
After looking at the monuments to dead presidents, it was time to try and catch a glimpse of a live one... Here he is at the White House (looking the wrong way).

The Wombat in China
The Wombat spent the last couple of weeks of October travelling through China (with a new handler). Here are some of his holiday snaps...
If The Wombat sits on the Great Wall, can he be seen from space?
The Wombat checks out the Bird's Nest Olympic stadium in Beijing, and dreams of winning gold... in the marsupial sprint, perhaps? (Shame he's a year late.)
If this is the Forbidden Palace, is it OK for The Wombat to look at it?
The Wombat took a trip down the River Yangtze - he's not actually on the edge of the boat here, which he was very relieved about.
The Wombat is impressed by the giant head, although he's not sure who it belongs to...
This is as close as The Wombat managed to get to a real panda - they are vegetarians, right?

The Wombat visits Italy
Between May 20th and 27th 2009, The Wombat was lucky enough to travel to Italy - specifically, to Rome and Sorrento (with a side-trip to the isle of Capri). He saw a lot of Roman ruins, got some sun, and was utterly shocked by the lewd paintings in the loo of an Indian restaurant.
See all his adventures...
Here we have The Wombat in the Colosseum. He doesn't think he would have been much good up against a tiger or two.
The Wombat likes his beer, and of course had to check out as many Irish pubs as possible in Rome. This was probably a pint of Becks though.
Here The Wombat takes a chance to catch some sun, on the terrace of his hotel in Sorrento.
The Wombat was most impressed by the ruins of Pompeii, although after the events of Rome, he was careful about which frescoes he looked at. Here he is surveying the forum with Vesuvius in the background.
The Wombat doesn't really like water that much (he's afraid of getting his fur wet), but a boat trip around the isle of Capri is very much the done thing.
