Morgane loved spotting different birds in the aviary.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ghis and Louise headed off for a last day of sightseeing and Morgane and I headed to the zoo! I got us a pass, so we can go as much as we want, which is a lot.<\/p>\n

From the first bird to the last wombat, there wasn’t one exhibit I didn’t have to drag Morgane away from.<\/p>\n

I wanted to see the baby panda who is six months old, so I dragged Morgane along in that direction since you can only visit in the morning. Luckily the line was short. On our first pass, he was sleeping in a tree and his mother was sitting eating big branches of bamboo.<\/p>\n

On the second pass, he had woken up and was investigating his surroundings and trying to figure out how to get his toy from up high. Then he had a snack of honeysuckle flowers. Too cute!<\/p>\n

We also loved seeing all kinds of monkeys – Morgane loved their double-decker treehouses. There were young monkeys driving their parents nuts. We loved the gorillas – there was a baby, too. While we were there, lettuce starting raining down on them, so they all gathered it up and ate it.<\/p>\n

What is great about this zoo is that it’s like a park. There are trees everywhere and not much cement. The animal habitats are large and natural looking. As well, they often mix several types of animals together in one habitat.<\/p>\n

We rode a tram over top of the zoo from one end to the other. This was a problem because I didn’t feel very good up so high in the air. Morgane loved it, but I closed my eyes most of the way. I wasn’t going to get back on, so we had to walk across the zoo to get back to the children’s zoo again. We did pass elephants and lions and wallabies and lots of other interesting animals on the way.<\/p>\n

We finally ended the day at the children’s zoo where Morgane made a little friend. We didn’t see everything, but we’ll be going back soon.<\/p>\n
