Dear Leonhard,
Hi there! How are you doing? I'm doing soooo fine!!! I savely arrived in the Western part of Australia now and I'm having a really nice time here. Guess what, Leonhard!? They are writing about me in a real newspaper here!!! Isn't that incredible? Somehow I can't copy the article here but I can write it down myself what they said in a newspaper called "Sun City News":
"FELIX COMING TO YANCHEP
Felix is a little bear from Austria. He belongs to a 5-year old boy named Leonhard. since the Soccer World Cup Championship, last year, Leonhard has been very interested in all the different countries and what is so special about each one.
So Leonhard and his parents decided to start a journey around the world for Felix. The family felt that through Felix and the use of modern technology such as digital cameras and the internet they could help Leonhard find out about other countries.
Felix is a very easy going bear, about 20 centimetres tall and light brown in colour. He is not very heavy, but he has never been weighted, and loves to eat everything nevertheless.
He is said to be curious, wanting to get to know and try new things and even though he might be a bit shy, he's usually quite talkative with other bears and people.
On Tuesday, 15th September 2006, Felix started his world trip. He was carefully packaged into a comfortable soft envelope, well as comfortable as envelopes can be, and Leonhard and his mother took Felix to the post office.
Felix said: "To be honest, it's really a bit narrow in there (the envelope) and pretty dark, so I hope I won't have to stay inside this envelope too long."
The first port of postage was France and the Sun City News understands Felix was really excited to get started on his world journey.
Since September, Felix has visited France, Ireland, Finland, Holland and celebrated Australia Day in Ipswich, Queensland, before departing for Yanchep.
From Yanchep, Felix will be heading to New Zealnad, Canada, Germany, Hawaii and another 20 countries.
Felix will be making a number of guest appearances in Yanchep during his busy schedule. The Sun City News has arraned to meet Felix at a number of local tourist spots for a series of photos.
These photos will be published next issue as well as sent to Leonhard in Austria to publish on his website.
At Leonhard's website, www.travelling-felix.blogspot.com, you can read about Felix's world trip or you can leave a message for Leonhard and Felix."
Isn't this great??? An article about ME in a newspaper?? I'm sooo excited about that, Leonhard, so I simply had to tell you this now. Have a great time and give a big hug to all the family.
Love, Felix
