Jersey 2007
Sunday 26th August
Jersey Zoo – The Durrell Collection
Our furthest trip from ‘base’ resulted in a last minute rush to get there on time. We were shown around by two lovely volunteers from Jersey Zoo (“a zoo like no other”) who managed to get animals to perform and appear on cue, as if by magic… trying to recreate that in the afternoon failed dismally as all the animals bar the fruit bats seemed to have disappeared. When lunch was done we left Dave alone and dozing in the afternoon sun, he awoke to find everyone gone, playing it cool he pretended he had it all planned…
We decided we would experience the hands on snake talk, but somehow managed to wait in the wrong room, having persuaded several members of the public they were right too. Anyway, it’s amaing what 30 people can do when walking into the talk just after it had finished, they almost did it all again, just for us. Not much choice really though…
The day ended with a wait for the minibus next to the rather amusing meerkats.
