About This Item

Roald the Penguin

Once upon a time there was a penguin-couple living close to the South Pole. After living their whole life in Antarctica they got bored by the dull white and frozen landscape and developed a longing to go somewhere else. So one day they decided to make a trip around the globe.

They had a heap of luggage with lots of clothes and gear for the different parts of the world they planned to visit. But with all this luggage and being so excited about their trip they forgot the most important thing: their little son Roald! The poor little penguin was left behind.

Little Roald was very, very sad and cried bitterly for many days. After some weeks when his parents still had not come back he decided to find them by himself. He left the South Pole and got on the next best plane which happened to bring him to Austria.

As with all travelbugs, try to place this back in another cache within a week (two at the most) of acquiring it. This allows a larger number of people to be able to find the travelbug(s) and assist them on their travels. Thanks in advance.

Found this little guy hiding out along the NE Cape Fear river. We'll take him along to Atlanta to see the sites of the big (Southern) city and move him along quickly.

Found him in Miss Addy's Stash, GC51F2.

Found Roald in a flophouse travel bug motel in Hagerstown, MD today. Looked like he might be enjoying the cool weather of late. We will try to move him to locations farther north. -Dealhound
