The Travelling Monkeys in Rome

Willy travels to Italy’s capital city, Rome, where he visits the famous sites including, the Vatican, Trevi Fountain (throwing in his own coin, as is tradition), Pantheon, Coliseum, Spanish Steps, Villa Borghese and the Zoo.

A picnic in the park under the Italian sun is magical and shared with the biggest ants we have ever seen (though not quite as big as the models in the zoo!).

Uti & Sorrento

Willy likes Sorrento so much, he decides to go back.  At the airport before his flight, he meets Uti the orangutan who is calling to him from a display stand.  As soon as he is rescued, Uti says, “My name is Uti” and he has been saying it ever since.

In the photos you can see Baggy, who keeps Willy’s valuables safe on holiday.

The white one is Amalfi.  He was awarded to Willy last year by an Italian film crew in the town of Amalfi whilst he was travelling along the Amalfi coast.  Amalfi seems to spend a lot of his time passed out…

Willy tries his first Italian beer, while Amalfi hits the Long Island ice teas… I think we know why Amalfi is always passed out!

There is nothing more relaxing than basking in the sunshine and floating around in the pool. Followed by a strawberry mocktail.

You can’t go to Italy without trying their famous ice cream.

First Adventures

Willy’s first experience travelling is to London and back on the train.  A few days later, he is on a plane to Sorrento, a small town in Campania, Southern Italy.  He makes the most of his first flight.  He quickly adapts to the Italian lifestyle.  He travels on an Italian train.  Back in Britain, Willy is welcomed home by Wally.
