@ Scourger's Lake
Viki steps off the boat onto Olpeggo with fellow traveller Dodger. Time for a look around, but first a long stretch after the voyage!
Scourger's Lake
The tranquillity of this lake, with its perfect reflection of a snow-capped mountain, has to be experienced to be believed. It's just the place to relax for a nourishing picnic before starting on the next step of the island tour.

Landmark 2/25

@ From the Trees
While Viki normally avoids tourist hotspots, he is glad he allowed Pyron Toothless to bring him here!
From the Trees
A pet can climb or fly to the top of a tall tree overlooking Olpe Lake and from this vantage point look out across a vista of lake, peaks and conifers. It's such an amazing view!

Landmark 3/25

@ Olpe Lake
While Viki was whistling through his teeth as they ambled through another breathtaking scene, Trixie was secretly wishing she had packed ear plugs, or gaffer tape for Viki's mug!
Olpe Lake
Visiting pets can employ the services of a resident orangutan who will row them across the Olpe Lake. He enjoys pausing the rowing boat right in the middle, where the water is deepest, and regaling his passengers in ghoulish tones with tales of the monster said to lurk in the depths of the Lake, a huge, strange looking creature called Olpessie. The more credulous of his passengers tend to start looking nervously fore and aft and shuffling towards the middle of the boat; bolder pets get their cameras out!

Landmark 4/25

@ Skipping Rocks
The tranquility of the scene they had stumbled across made Viki and Badger feel like they were the only pets left in PnF Land...
Skipping Rocks
An exciting annual competition takes place here on the Olpe Lake! Those pets who excel at throwing take turns selecting flat stones from the banks of the lake, then skimming them across the water, with the aim of seeing how many times they can make it "skip" before it sinks!

Landmark 5/25

@ Natural Shack
Viki and Patrick looked around in awe, wishing they'd thought to pack a picnic to enjoy here!

Viki tumbled out of the tourist bus, flattening Choco in the process, then wondering where the muffled groans were coming from?
Green Roof Inn
This area on Olpeggo is a popular vacation spot, and these dwellings for hire, with their eco-friendly "green roofs", are ideally sited for those wishing to take a holiday here, whether it be for hiking, rambling, climbing, bird-spotting or just to relax and read or write in a peaceful countryside scene.

Landmark 7/25

@ Olpe River
Viki looked askance at ****, wondering how he had ended up on a grey nomads' tour???

Landmark 8/25

@ Conifer Valley
Dude! Just take a look around and breathe deep! Does it get any better than this?
Conifer Valley
Pets pausing for a rest in this clearing among the conifers benefit from the shade and windbreak provided by the trees. They can lie back and enjoy the soothing sounds of wind through the pine branches and aromatic fragrances from the leaves and sap.

@ Conifer Stream
Viki and pinky pie pool their small change, hoping to buy some small souvenirs to remind them of this place!

@ Orange Blossom Field
Viki looked around the scene in consternation, asking FiFi where he was supposed to plug in his iron and fur drier?
Orange Blossom Field
The artisan perfumiers of Olpeggo produce a delicate fragrance from the flowers in this field. The essence is a vital component in the making of perfume. The petals are also utilised in the making of delicately scented flower water used in the Olpeggo cuisine.

Landmark 11/25

@ Pasture Range
While Viki was in a hurry to move along and shake some more paws, Marmite decided to stay put and sketch the scenery for this week's Art Challenge...
Pasture Range
It's a complete misnomer! This old-fashioned wooden dock stretches out onto the lake, not onto meadowland. How many years has it stood there, with happy groups of pets clambouring on board sailing boats pulled up alongside, to set off on trips, or disembarking after their adventures?

Landmark 12/25

@ Pasture Nook
Of all the pets Viki might have met here, Red was the last he expected. But what a great view!
Pasture Nook
This sheltered little group of houses is home to a happy community content with their way of life in the mountain valley.

Landmark 13/25

@ Autumn Leaves
While Viki was whistling through his teeth as they ambled through another breathtaking scene, Scaredy Cat was secretly wishing he had packed ear plugs, or gaffer tape for Viki's mug!
Autumn Leaves
All is still in the wood! It's just the perfect place for a pet to practise balancing by walking across fallen logs, playing hide & seek, collecting twigs and leaves to make pictures with back home, playing tracking, and taking bark rubbings.

Landmark 14/25

@ Rebirth Shallow
Viki had to travel on alone, as Ada declared she had found her nirvana, and had no intention of moving on!
Rebirth Shallow
This copse of trees by a shallow pond in a less hilly region of Olpeggo is the favourite place of many young pets. The pond in summer teems with aquatic wildlife.

Landmark 15/25

@ Peggo's Shadow
"Put your camera down Viki," said Brigit, "and just soak up that view!"
Peggo's Shadow
Can't you just imagine breathing in the crisp, clean air in the shadow of the Peggo Mountain Range? Here pets truly get back to nature, far away from towns and industries.

Landmark 16/25

@ Peggo Lake
Viki asked Mulrey if he had a fur clip on him, as Viki wanted to fashion a fishing pole and stop to dangle a line...?

@ The Conifers of Peggo
While Viki normally avoids tourist hotspots, he is glad he allowed Tassie to bring him here!
The Conifers of Peggo
Olpeggo pine forests include huge ‘granny’ pines that can grow to be very old indeed. Many of the island's pine forests also have more varied canopies. Many animals and birds flourish in this unique habitat. For hundreds of years, pine forests have blanketed lake sides and hills, the home to myth, legend and rare wildlife.

Landmark 19/25

@ Shallow Stream
While Viki was in a hurry to move along and shake some more paws, Happy Dancer decided to stay put and sketch the scenery for this week's Art Challenge...

This conifer-fringed track is the start of the hiking trail through the Olpeggo Mountains, with awesome views of the Olpe Lake and snow-clad peaks. Val-deri, val-dera!

Landmark 21/25

@ Olpeggo View
After months of planning, Viki and Trix finally agreed on where they would travel together, and they are both secretly please with their choice!
Olpeggo View
While on their hike, the pets fall in love with this deep turquoise lake at the foot of the Olpeggo mountain range. Legend has it that at the foot of the mountain is a fairy gateway to a secret world. Dare they seek it out ...?

Landmark 22/25

@ An Evening in the Air
Viki is enjoying the view when Mulrey comes along. "Looks like you dropped something,", says Mulrey. Viki looks down and sees something valuable. Well Viki WAS here first ...
An Evening in the Air
A popular pastime on the island is taking advantage of the thermals at this particular part of the island, and going hot air ballooning. It's quite some sight to see these majestic craft, with their precious animal cargo in baskets underneath, soaring up into the sunset. The best place to watch them ascend is from the tallest peak on the Peggo mountain range.

Landmark 23/25

@ A Sunset View
"Come on FiFi, pick up the pace a little, will you?" Scolded Viki, hoping to get in a little more sight seeing before changeover...
A Sunset View
From the tallest peak of the Mount Peggo range, the most awe-inspiring vista is spread out before those who have clambered to the top. Smaller mountains are shrouded in mist, and at sunset everything is tinged with gold.

Landmark 24/25

@ Sunset Crossing
While Viki was whistling through his teeth as they ambled through another breathtaking scene, Rosa was secretly wishing she had packed ear plugs, or gaffer tape for Viki's mug!
Sunset Crossing
Anypet who has climbed this high must take especial care and keep a weather eye open for the risks of high winds on the snowy ascent! From the top there is an almost as tricky a descent via a rope bridge, but those pets who makes the effort agrees it is well worth it for the stupendous views!

Landmark 25/25

@ Island: Olpeggo
Viki finally makes it back to the landing stage, where Halona is also about to embark and go home. What an adventure it has been! Viki pockets a map of Olpeggo as a momento. The guidebook says:
Island: Olpeggo
The Island of Olpeggo derives its name from Lake Olpe and Lake Peggo. Pets disembarking on its sandy beach will explore a river, woods and lakes and see how the other half live on this delightful island, then end their trip by climbing a very high, snow-capped mountain—but what stunning views from the top! They will be very tired but happy pets climbing back down the other side to reboard the boat.
Viki has completed the quest! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also take part!
