London Zoo
Saturday 30th July 2022
As Chie and Erika would imminently be leaving for Japan for the summer, Erika and I decided to do something fun together today so we went to the zoo. I don't think we'd been together since December 2018, but there was a time when we'd go on a pretty much weekly basis.

We started our day with breakfast at a local cafe, wherein Erika has become fond of the halloumi breakfast rolls.

On arrival at the zoo, one of the first bits we went to see was the Rainforest area. I forget the exact name of this animal, some kind of anteater, but it was hanging directly over the doorway as we entered.

I think these are sloths.

In the Indian bit now, Land of the Lions.

11:57:37
We'd often come to this area when we used to regularly come to the zoo in circa 2016 so I found this very nostalgic.
