Have 43people help Flirt's 43things Teddy Bear travel around the world!!!

It’s time to move on. I almost had a chance to travel to Cape Town on africanstar’s lap, but unfortunately it will have to be in a box.

In the picture I am fitting the box for size. I’m not too fat for a bear, so it’s an easy fit, with room for padkos.

See you all in Cape Town!

The walkways are decorated with pictures of myths and legends.

Then we went home. Altough it was a sunny day, it was bearrry cold.

From the bell tower I also got a picture of the ceramic figurines of mythical animals that decorate the roofs.

From the bell tower there’s a good view of the countryside.

We went up in the bell tower. There’s a big bell. I’m sitting on the swinging beam that is used to ring the bell. I don’t know what the bell sounds like, because there was a sign up that says “Please do not hit the bell.”

The whole temple is colourfully painted. I’m standing next to one of the decorative lotus flowers that line the walkways.

We had to take off our shoes before could enter the shrine. It’s a place of quiet devotion.

This is the main courtyard showing the censer and the stairs to the main shrine.

This is me with my back to the temple courtyard.

Past me to my left you can see the big black censer that stands in the middle of the courtyard.

Here I’m sitting with one of the guardian lions at the temple gate.
