Yesterday Nanny and I went to Sidmouth for the day. It is a lovely seaside town full of retirees and where families come for holidays. It has your typical English seaside strip complete with deckchairs and pebble beaches and clotted cream ice cream (even on the most freezing of days). We had coffee, browsed the most gorgeous home decorating and accessory shops, had cod, chips and peas for lunch, browsed more shops and visited a garden centre on the way home.
Today I went with Sue and her mother-in-law Joyce to Longleat Safari Park. It was even more awesome than last time I went (ten years ago). We went on a boat ride, a train ride and of course we drove through the safari park. The monkey section was closed though as they were in quarantine for an infection. I took some amazing photos but unfortunately I had forgotten my memory card so I have to wait till I get back to Australia to put them on the computer. I saw tons of animals including: meerkat, mongoose, macaw, tortoise, turtle, snakes, lizards, squirrels, porcupines, otters, rabbits, guinea pigs, sea lions, gorilla, hippopotamus, pelicans, flamingos, vultures, rhinos, giraffes, llamas, warthogs, antelope, various breeds of deer, lions, tigers, wolves, leaf cutter ants and numerous others that I can't think of at the moment.
Oh and can you believe that they have cane toads on display here? Just wait till they break out into the wild :P
