Wow this looks really interesting. We would love to see any sort of bears outside of a zoo.

Tonight one of the German TV stations (Phoenix) broadcast a documentary about Churchill, showing the same tour you were on -- and lots of bears, of course. Also a cabin the bears had broken into over night.
