Paddington On The Way Back To Peru?

Posted by Jeff on Dec 2, 2009 in Illinois Travel, family events |

Paddington himself was born in Peru and came to London because his Aunt could no longer take care of him due to her old age.

On the 13th October 1958 Paddington Bear was thrown upon the world and the Brown family. He was created by Michael Bond who based him on a bear that he spotted in Paddington station. This is obviously the reason in which he was named and it is no different at all for the book. When found by the Brown family Paddington has a note attached to him saying “wanted on voyage” this was Bond’s way of showing how he remembered evacuees at train stations with similar notes attached to them.

Paddington had managed to stow away on a life boat where his only food was marmalade, he had than stowed away even further onto a train that took him into London. According to Paddington, Bears love marmalade and when it is in sandwiches he simply adores the stuff.

He rarely gets angry with someone but when he does he tends to give them a “hard stare” because this will make the person embarrassed and feel all flushed.

Paddington went on to become a worldwide success with thousands of the books sold. Paddington has starred in many television series with a film on the way. This film is going to be very similar to how Scooby Doo was made, let us just hope they do not make a second right?

Paddington is now to seen to like marmite over marmalade thanks to the recent Marmite adverts.

Peru which of course is where he is from is actually a really nice place to visit on holiday and is a lot better than the busy London streets and going on one of those Galapagos Cruise could be something for you.

When going on a Galapagos holiday you could even have the chance to spot a real life Paddington as he is based on the spectacled bear that lives there. Of course self drive holidays are also an option when travelling to Peru.
