A trip to the zoo

Well we went to the world famous Edinburgh Zoo, why is it famous well for sheer size of it's penguin enclosure and of course it's famous once a day penguin perade :). One thing that was missing was the giraffe's but according to "the masterplan" they will be back as soon as new suitable enclosure has been built since one of the died of old age and the other is now in a zoo in denmark. They have everything but don't try and leave kids they've stopped taken them :P One thing we were too early for was the arrival of the koala bears, the enclosure was in it's final stages and next week will see the arrival of them. One highlight of the day was that there were a troop of Norweign soliders there, the reason to give a penguin a long service medal and a promotion. *hears people going eh! and / or fainting* Okay you can adopt an animal practically anyone and they adopted many years ago one of the penguins so with full military tradition it got it's promotion we only heard the cermemony as we were in another part of the zoo at the time but it would have been fun.
See anytime anyone *god forbid they come over to visit me - why visit me!* is in east of scotland, I know and have shown a few places to visit there are more but I'm so used to them I need reminding sometimes.
