Sometimes, Iago & Zazu join me on my trips by public transportations.. Below, you can see and read about their travels.. :-)
On the photo below, Zazu is checking if this is the right bus.. (In the Netherlands, this can be seen on the yellow board)

Zazu found it incredibly difficult to read so he asked his big brother’s help. Iago didn’t seem to have any problems reading the board and told his brother this was the right bus.. Now the only thing they’d have to do was wait. (That’s extremely difficult for Zazu)

On the photo below, Zazu is ’patiently’ waiting for the bus.

When the bus arrived, Iago just HAD to flirt with the driver, who was charmed by Iago.. He kept asking about Iago, and everytime Iago whistled, he’d look at him.. :-)

By the way, it might be nice to notice that, when we got in, the driver told me that Iago was a pretty bird, and Iago responded with a loud: ’YES!’ (I am not making this up!)
It must have been coincidence, but it was really funny. It was just like Iago agreed with this friendly driver!

Next thing was the train, for which we had to buy a ticket. No problem, Iago must have thought.
On the photo below you can see Iago in front of the railway’s ticket machine.

When tickets were bought, we waited for the right train.. On the photo below you can see Iago looking at our train.. What a big yellow-blue monster, he must have thought.

As soon as we got in, we were spotted by two conductresses, and one of them immediately fell for Iago’s charms, as the photo below illustrates.
Iago didn’t want to step up on my finger anymore, he was in love with ’his’ conductress!

On the photo below, Iago is sitting on the small table (inside the train) waiting for the train to depart. Can you see the train in the background?

I put Zazu on the seats in front of me. Iago was having fun on the small table.. Looking outside to the meadows and other things we passed.

Zazu was allowed to come out too, and he sat on his seat quietly. When the conductors came (male this time) one conductor asked the other if he could help this little passenger.. :-)

In another train, Zazu sat on the small table, and looked outside.. It was quite impressive for him!

On the photo below you can see Iago looking at the people getting out of the subway.

We had to catch another one! This one.. :-) This is what the subway looks like over here.. :-)

We hope to see you next time!
