3 Knaresborough Bed Race 2012 Parade Cont.


Germany.

 Indonesia- see the orangutan? I loved it!

 Zambia. Why? Victoria Falls--> Victoria Beckham-->Victoria/Posh Spice--> Spice Girls.
It's a stretch, but it sure was hilarious!

 Cuba!

 Congo.

 Austria.

 The Netherlands.

 Cameroon.
Yes, that's blackface. No, this was not (by far) the first time we've seen it here. Yes, it still shocks us, 
but not nearly as much as the Little Sambo dolls and pictures I've seen in completely random gift shops, though. 

 Turkey. The side says "Turkish Delight."

 Mongolia

 Argentina
Some kids standing near us got into an argument over how to pronounce "Peron", and where it is in the world. These kids also deemed one of the island-y looking beds to be "Hawaii." *sigh*

 Norway

 Malta

 Ghana

 Australia

 Brazil

 France

 A band, with the most energetic bandleader ever.

 Madagascar! Cute lemur butts!

 Tahiti

 I found the Canada display even more disappointing than the Ireland one.

 Mauritius 

 Japan

 Vietnam

 Finland

We *think* this is Ecuador.

Come back tomorrow for the Race!
