San Diego

---

We set off this morning for the 120 mile drive to visit the world famous San Diego Zoo. We made good time until we got close to San Diego where the traffic was quite heavy and slow moving. The weather was great and we were both looking forward to the zoo.

After paying the entrance fee we first visited the reptile house where there were numerous snakes and lizards on display. We then took the 'Skyfari' to the far end of the zoo where the Polar Bear plunge is situated. This is where you can watch the Polar bears both on land and underwater. From there we made our way past numerous exhibits towards the Monkey trails where there is a treetop cafe and viewing platform. With lunch out of the way we wandered around some more until we came across the giant Panda enclosure. There was one Panda in this enclosure who was putting on bit of a show for the watching crowd. The Hippos were next on our list to visit and when we arrived there, we saw two Hippos in the water sleeping whilst cuddling together. Finally we paid a visit ot the Elephant enclosure where there three Elephants on display.

Tomorrow will be our last full day here and will probably involve a visit to City Walk in LA and some more Grilled Chicken with Twisted Mac and Cheese.

Hey Dad, just wanted to say I know you don't think you're very good with photography, but I have to say you've gotten some great shots throughout this blog, and I look forward to seeing more when you return! I can't believe your holidays almost over, make sure you make the most of it, and tell Chloe I miss her etc Russ P.S: What is twisted mac and cheese? :p
