Walk With The Animals....

The London Zoo

It became clear when I heard that my flatmate, Gwen, had never been to a zoo that we would be paying the London Zoo a visit. Today, or Saturday as I'm writing this at a very late hour, we went, a group of five of us. Rachel, Gwen, Michelle, Heather and I all wiped the sleep out of our eyes and we're on the tube by 9:30 am. We had to switch lines from the Piccadilly line to the Northern line and take it up to Camden Town-the closest stop to the Zoo which is located at the most northern end of Regent's Park.

We had a good time, it was a bright and actually rather warm day so we didn't mind walking about and more of the animals we out of their houses soaking up the sunshine. We sauntered by snakes, gawked at giraffes and trembled at the tigers. We saw emus and wallabies, pygmy hippos, camels, and gorillas. But most of them were sleeping, I had told everyone we should have gone later, everyone sleeps in on Saturday. Even the animals.

I've been feeling a bit under the weather, there's some sort of sore throat disease going round the flat. But we were bored tonight so Gwen decided we should do mini make-overs so she did my make-up and straightened my hair as well as any one else who came in the room (including George). We all looked so glamorous that we had to go out to the pub and show it off! Well, that's all for now. To bed, to bed...
