A day at the zoo

March 20, 2006

Decided to make the most of my day off today and head for Bristol Zoo, much to the delight of DDWT Junior. After coughing up some £19 odd for entry – which I thought was steep, even though the nipper went in for free – we started our way around the zoo. In fairness there is quite to bit to see and do and we spent almost 4 hours taking in the various attractions, including the pelican restaurant. A word of warning though, avoid the pure fat chips on offer like the plague!

As usual I took a few snaps, a selection of which are below.

It was disappointing for DDWT Junior not to see any elephants, orang-utans, chimpanzees, zebras, polar bears, etc at the zoo – which are usually standard fare but nevertheless he enjoyed himself, as did myself and Mrs DDWT.

    What a busy boy you are! Bristol Zoo has mixed memories as I wanted to go there all the time as a kid and of course every week was a bit much to expect, so I was always disappointed! Also, my daughter at age 3 broke her leg on the bouncy castle and our first visit back to Bristol from our new Welsh home ended up being 2 weeks in Southmead Hospital! – (Wonderful staff though).

    Happy Birthday for last week from your chums over here.
