They live close to the rather posh address of Belvedere Castle!
We also glimpsed a turtle peering through the reeds to look at what the raccoons were up to. Dave's first raccoon sighting was actually when he was being robbed... (of his junk food) while he was camping last year during his road trip. Here's the thief caught in the act:
