Whipsnade on a hot bank holiday Sunday

Whipsnade 2009-05Mad dogs and English men go out in the midday sun. So we got there early to ensure we were out in the midday sun! Met up with Kev, Ron, the kids, Marie, and John at Whipsnade Zoo.

We arrived just before the gates opened at 10. The queues went very quickly and we soon found ourselves in with Lemurs from Madagascar. It certainly was hot we started to find the shade and had to slap on the sun screen. We probably managed to see all the animals except the farm. As for the shows we only managed the bird show, which was excellent, but nothing was tickable.

Everyone enjoyed themselves despite Ben complaining about the pong. Left the Zoo at about 16:30 so we managed to make the most of the day. Later that evening we met up with Rory and Lizzie for a well earned pint at The Buck (does that make us regulars?). The were off to see the cheese rolling on Sunday.
