Paddington On The Way Back To Peru?
You may not realise it but Paddington is actually from the depths of Peru which is where his aunt (who used to take care of him) is still living to this day.
The character Paddington was first introduced to the world on the 13th October 1958. Paddington was based on a bear that Michael Bond spotted in Paddington Station that he actually purchased for his wife. This is of course where he got the name from and the reason he is named that in the book is exactly the same. Believe it or not some of Browns memories are thrown into the book with Paddingtons label stating “wanted on voyage” a memory of the WW2 evacuees.
Before the train stowaway he had managed to get onto a life boat where his only meals came from a tin of marmalade. Paddington really does love marmalade sandwiches and is his favourite food in the world.
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. The film that is currently in devlopment is going to be very similar to other films that have done the same the most famous being Scooby Doo?
It is thanks to the recent Marmite adverts that Paddington is now seen to enjoy Marmite over marmalade.
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 Cruises 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.
