You may not realise it but Paddington is actually from the depths of Peru which is where his aunt (who used to take care of him) is still living to this day.

The character Paddington was first introduced to the world on the 13th October 1958. He was created by Michael Bond who based him on a bear that he spotted in Paddington station. This is of course where he got the name from and the reason he is named that in the book is exactly the same. The note which was attached to Paddington when he was found by the Brown family is actually Bond’s way of showing how he remembered evacuees in World War two.

Paddington actually stowed away on a life boat in which all he had to eat was marmalade which of course all bears love to eat. According to Paddington, Bears love marmalade and when it is in sandwiches he simply adores the stuff.

Paddington is a very polite and friendly bear and the only time he does get angry is if someone is rude to him in which he replies with a hard stare.

People are still out there buying the books to this day which is saying something. Paddington has starred in many television series with a film on the way. Of course people will remember other such people that have done this from the likes of Scooby Doo to Garfield?

It is thanks to the recent Marmite adverts that Paddington is now seen to enjoy Marmite over marmalade.

Peru which of course is where he is from is actually a really nice place to visit on holiday and is a lot better than the busy London streets and going on one of those Galapagos Cruises could be something for you.

When going on a Galapagos holiday you could even have the chance to spot a real life Paddington as he is based on the spectacled bear that lives there. Of course self drive holidays are also an option when travelling to Peru.
