Waitangi Day - a public holiday celebrating the treaty between the Maoris and the white colonists. (Still a bone of contention). What better way to use the day than to go to the zoo.
The zoo is quite a large area and is well laid out. The enclosures are large and not over crowded and you either look down into them or through glass sheets. The family have a pass and it it is one of Zoe's favourite outings.
As always the visit starts with a cup of coffee which you sit with until the gates open and you are invited in. So, with camera in one hand, tripod in the other and coffee in the other. (how many hands?)
Rhinos going head to head
Zoe moved at a reasonable pace through the exhibits, stopping to climb to the top of quite a high climbing frame. (Dad was just behind.)
The tiger calls for its mate
The highlight of the trip is, most certainly the tigers. There is amale tiger in one enclosure and a female in another. Ocassionally they change enclosures. This ahd just been done and the tigers were in active persute of one another.
