Europe Post #5

OK, I know it has taken a while to get to this post but trust me, we've been busy! 

Our last full day in Bristol was spent with Vicki at the Bristol Zoo.  It was pretty cool seeing some animals we don't usually see in our home zoo, like the okapi below, the prairie dogs, flamingoes, pygmy hippopotamus and of course, the gorillas (there were more but I can't remember right now).


We went to a hands on demonstration where Megan happily held this Tasmanian (that's in Australia) stick insect... of course Aiden wouldn't go near it!

After the zoo Vicki took us to see thre famous Bristol Suspension Bridge... it is veeeeeery high up!  Of course, it wouldn't be summer in England without rain LOL!  So we didn't get to walk over the bridge...

Here we are making our way back to the car... in the rain... that's English weather for you!  Vicki reckoned she's a local so she should have known better than getting caught out without an umbrella or a jacket...

Unfortunately, the next day we had to bid Vicki and Rob farewell and head over to the The Netherlands.  To say we enjoyed our time with them is an understatement... we had a blast!  Now I will wait patiently for them to come and visit me in Australia...
