To her surprise, she unzipped it to find two very familiar faces peeking out: Inky Mouse and Lion, complete with their own <strong>tiny passports<\/strong> and big smiles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reverend Breakey emailed the boys and girls to share her surprise.  &#8220;What?

Inky and Lion have just sailed in to <strong>Amsterdam<\/strong> <strong>Harbour,<\/strong> the very first stop on their European tour using eco-friendly travel options. They\u2019re excited to explore the canals, try some local snacks (cheese for Inky, of course), and see what this big, wide world has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope to  follow their journey right here on the blog, so stay tuned for travel tales, fun facts, and plenty of photos as they make their way across Europe with Reverend Breakey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inky and Lion have sent us a postcard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>POSTCARD FROM: <em>Amsterdam<\/em><\/strong><br>\ud83d\udcc5 Date: 10th June 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Dear friends at school,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greetings from <em>Amsterdam<\/em>! \ud83d\udc2d\ud83e\udd81<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We\u2019ve just arrived and are already having a wonderful time.
