The cruise cabin

This is Pinga and Pingu's cruise cabin. It has no windows but that is not always a bad thing. Pinga's parents had a room with balcony and when the sea was bad they where scared by the noises and the water that hit their windows.

Colourful houses

Pinga was out walking with her friend and found these houses. It's traffic light colours!

Cox's Orange

Pinga got another type of apples from her colleague. It has orangish red colour and maybe that's why it has "orange " in its name. You can see it's small compared to Mutsu.

Smoked herring
