Sunday is family day

With very little open on a Sunday in Warsaw, the Bonnici-Carter trio decided to have a Sunday funday at the Zoo…

This opened at 9am and we were there before 10am…via Uber.

A large zoological park on the other side of the river.

You could be forgiven thinking we were, once again, in the wooded wilderness of Warsaw! George does think that no one sells lawnmowers in this city and sees a business opportunity for an enterprising Warsawian!

The zoo is quite impressive with large open air(mostly) natural habitat areas…and flat walking, which suited the team today.

My favourite picture of the day, a leopard en pointe, oblivious to human activity.

These big boys were out enjoying the sunshine, Bison, Rhino, Elephants and the Giraffes.

The watered areas all had a very green tinge, and at the polar bear enclosure (another green pool) he was no where to be seen, we did wonder if he was white or green (as our last Auckland one turned over time).

Some of the smaller species, Chimps, European Bison, Otters and Pink flamingos.

And some of the larger species, no other than husband and son!

A bit of kiwi taxidermy in Warsaw; the “Kakapo” and the “Kiwi” birds in the Elephant house. Where else would they be?

One of the main attractions were the gorillas – no where to be seen and the zoo was now filling up with the other half of Warsaw who had slept in. It was at this point Russ got caught behind a “pram jam” (rows of prams and young families on a narrow circular path…)

Another weather change happening (midday); the sun went out and the black clouds came over with a few big drops of rain. Zoo excursion over, it was out the gate to see the masses now queuing from one end of the street to the other… time to Uber back to our quiet neighbourhood.

Steak and hamburger lunches! It is a repacking afternoon, as we leave this city of Warsaw early tomorrow morning. Berlin here we come!
