The zoo experience



“AHHHH finally” I sighed it was a relief to know that we gradually made it to the zoo. After a long car trip, it was one of the best feeling to know that we could stand up, breathe in the fresh air from the oak wood and feel the frostbite air nipping onto your skin. The Bells of the Tram was steaming down the railways nearing so close. The Tram rung in your ear like a fog horn from a boat in the deep mists of the sea.


We traipsed along the grass consisting of dew in the thick mists. The entrance was nearing as we trudged past the thick pine trees. You could hear the Lions bellowing out large roars ferociously as if a pack of deer were passing by and the lions growled and moaned to scare the Deer out of the wits. As we entered the borders of the zoo it was brimmed to the very edge of the zoo with a crowd of people.

We handed the tickets to one of the staff members and sauntered in between the crowds and darted to the giraffes. The Dark planks of spruce lay upon the bridge. SLIP!!!!!1 I stood up and carried on before i caused a scene. The Keepers in brown vests held the buckets in their hand and served the last piece of celery to a small child of blue clothing. We drooped along the boardwalk towards the VICIOUS BLOODSUCKING LIONS.. The Lions or so called vicious bloodsucking lions were actually Females! But they were also lying down sleeping and pretty much doing………… Nothing! Except for a bit of yawning.


An abundance of hours past, by that time it was 3ish. We were starting to slow down, and proceed through the last of the animals, when i caught a glimpse... Of a gigantic grey boulder looking shape it started to shift around the corner. Then it happened a big enormous………  Elephant!!  It was burma the elephant, he was the most popular Elephant in the zoo. We also saw him before getting cleaned with a hose and soap while he played with his toys, as well as lying down.

As we neared the end of the zoo we checked back in with the toy shop to collect are prize. It turned out to be a chocolate bar, that was well worth it. We roamed around the toy shop for a while, and then started to saunter to the beginning and where it all started. The track led us back to the car which was pretty much a ball of ice. We started the car and then………  Back On The Road, We Go!
