colchester zoo

media gallery / 2003 / colchester zoo

colchester is quite possibly the STEEPEST zoo in the world [competing only with legoland windsor for ridiculous slopes]. there are designated "accessible routes" around the zoo but we obviously strayed from them a couple of times since we found ourselves having to reverse down some of the slopes!

they loved the monkeys but mostly loved the big play areas. personally i found the penguins [usually my favourites] a little disappointing since they refused to move, but the baby elephant made up for it. an escaped goat also did it's fair share of entertaining. toby on the other hand did his usual trick - falling asleep on the train ride.
