On Wednesday Donna, Olivia and Kieren caught the metro to the National Zoo. We started with the 'Asia Trail', enjoying the antics of the asian small-clawed otters and sloth bears. A favourite for all of us was the fishing cats. Of course, the giant pandas were a great attraction, particularly the baby panda chewing on bamboo. Other highlights during the day included the elephants and hippopotamus, gorillas, cheetahs & komodo dragon. The kids also enjoyed brushing the goats and donkeys at the Kids Farm. Our last visit was to the quite spectacular Amazonia exhibit. Favourites here were the giant arapaimas fish and the stingrays (which Olivia counted 17).
We were all very tired by the end of the day, but there is still much more to see so we will, no doubt, be making many more trips to the zoo over the coming months.
