2 July 2023 Chester: To the Zoo



We had seen a few seasons of the "Secrete Life of the Zoo" a behind the scenes zoo show that was set in Chester Zoo.  So when we get to Chester we go to the zoo.  Several of the animals were sleepy.  We also saw some family pictures, the giraffe family, the lion family, the rhino family the flamingo family and the chimp family.   We walked all through the zoo watching the animals and the people.  We had to take a bus back into town to the train station and a taxi back from the train station.  Chicken noodle soup lunch was consumed and soon we were back out.
