Before going to the mountain cabin we spend a whole day in the Zoo. We had to drive to the capital, find our way through the traffic to the Zoo, buy expensive Zoo tickets and there we go.

We had been there 5 years ago with Dani but as he was 4 at the time this was like a first time for him. I was a little afraid of Catherine’s reaction towards the animals but I was happily surprised to find out that she wasn’t cared at all. She was very well informed the days before our visit that all the animals were in cages or in closed environments so she didn’t have to be afraid.

I had the shows schedule so I tried to organize our time in order to be present in every show. First show was the Live Bird’s Fly where falcons, eagles and other birds fly freely on a restrict area following the keepers orders.

Then we went to watch the Sea Lion’s Feeding and this brought an interesting reaction on my daughter. During the presentation one of the Sea Lions comes outside the pool and distributes “kisses” to the visitors. My daughter was the first one to say that she wanted to touch it. She hadn’t the chance because there were too many people but she was really excited about it.

Afterwards we went to see the Dolphins show that also has sea lions and here she received a “kiss” from a Sea Lion, and she wanted more kisses.

Dani and I went to travel on the cable car that crosses the entire Zoo, I was not scared but Dani was always asking: What if this falls?

Overall the Zoo Visit was a very positive experience, Catherine was exhausted at the end of the afternoon so we went to McDonald to eat some fast food and drive back home.
