Today a friend and I took ourselves and our children 'out of town' to visit India's oldest Zoo.
I was quite excited as it was the first time we had actually been anywhere apart from school, playgroup, shops and house!
The temperature has dropped to a more manageable 26 or so degrees and so has the humidity so it was really pleasant being able to walk around and not be in the car. We even had a picnic. Most of the animals looked very well cared for, they had the most amazing and beautiful tigers I have ever seen (not that I've seen that many!). Only the bears looked a bit stressed. DS was fascinated by the Tiger and 'roared' all the way home. DD was particularly taken with the chameleons, snakes, fish and hippo.
What wasn't so pleasant was all the attention that the children attracted from the local visitors and if we only even stopped briefly for a few moments we were immediately surrounded, photographs were being taken and a lot of touching of cheeks was going on. We had to be very firm before the attention moved to a more acceptable distance, then we were just followed! My friend commented that she could understand and somewhat sympathise with our so called celebrities, and so could I.
Sorry, no photos folks as the camera needs new batteries
