We were woken this morning (well, we were already awake) by the ringing of the bell at 6:15am. That was the call to get up and start your morning routine and have breakfast. There was a long queue again, so we had breakfast and waited until everyone else was at breakfast then we used the amenities.
Our guided morning walk started with the hippo, and as if on cue, they started their call; Wendy had forgotten just how wonderful it is. It was then onto the apes, first the Siamang and then the White-handed Gibbon. The Siamangs also made their call, and it was also amazing. The Gibbon was a bit shy and over performing for the masses, but did come to see if there was anyone interesting in the group - obviously not. The icing on the cake this morning was the Sumatran Tiger. Whilst she didn't roar, she did perform very nicely for us, and when she was in the sun, she looked spectacular.
Back to the camp to collect our stuff and then we visited the last of the exhibits, mainly the Cheetah and HUGE Galapagos Tortoise. We said goodbye to the family and made our way back to the van which was still there, thank goodness! Wendy immediately put the washing on; she is really enjoying this washing machine in the van caper!
Nothing much of anything was done for the rest of the day.
An early dinner and we were in bed early'ish as well.
