In Tadhg's many previous visits to the Prague Zoo he had not visited the safari park where the giraffes, zebras, ostriches and many antelope wander on a wide open plain. The safari park is on the far side of the zoo to the entrance and so is a long walk, mainly uphill! On Saturday morning, mom, dad and Tadhg decided to finally go to see the giraffes and so left home early to take the metro and bus to the zoo. They arrived soon after 8am and the zoo was already busy.
On the way to the safari park, Tadhg spotted a horse statue and quickly jumped on the back of the mommy horse.
The next field contained a pack of llamas who ran around the field in a closely knit group looking like a group of posh ladies out for a stroll.
When they finally made it to the safari park, Tadhg wasn't overly impressed with the giraffes and wanted to see where the zebras were (they were wandering around in the zebra house and didn't come outside).
The greatest fun of all was pressing the buttons at the various enclosures which emitted animal sounds. Tadhg spent a long time pressing the snowy owl button (which seemed to confuse the poor snowy owl inside) and the leopard button.
After a hectic morning at the zoo where Tadhg saw more animals then ever before, the family had lunch at the nice, new Zoo cafe before taking the bus home. Tadhg was exhausted and tried to fall asleep on the bus but mom and dad kept him awake until he was back in his own bed.
