Off to Copenhagen Zoo we did toddle.. the weather forecast was for 1mm of rain so Emma and I thought we could brave that and have a good day at the Zoo.. and a good day we sure did have!
We arrive in Copenhagen and have a little trouble finding where the bus from the train station to the zoo leaves from.. we find it.. or what we thougth was it.. but it turned out it was going the other way.. so we jump off after a couple of stops and wait for the bus to come from the other way and get on that and make our way to the Zoo. We make it in one piece.
We get our tickets and then I look like a total retard coz I don't know how to work their ticket machine thingo.. it scans the barcode and then you just walk through.. I was thinking that it was going to suck my ticket up and spit it out.. but no I was wrong.. good start!
In we go and start to make our way around looking at the animals.. I could sit here and describe it all.. but I wont.. my highlight of all of the animals would have to be.. the Polar Bears! When we arrive at them the boy is entertaining everyone by jumping up at the wall.. it was wicked cute. I just wanted to reach over and pat him.. but of course that would be a bad idea coz he just actually wants to eat you! He was awesome.. we took many many pics.. if you want to see them then just click here and you shall see!
After a good few hours we had managed to do the main part of the zoo and it was lunch time.. but it looked like it would take forever to get foodage there so we just got an ice cream to tie us over until we finished up. Which brings me to people who were walking around with popcorn.. at the zoo.. isn't that weird? well I think it is.. but I think the weirdest thing for me is the fact that they sell beer.. at the zoo.. and before midday! I saw people with kidlets drinking beer! Shocking I must say! for me anyways.. coz why would you go to the zoo to drink beer?
Anyways.. moving along from that we headed over to the other side of the park and started to check it out.. when the rain started.. and boy did it come on down! and then the thunder and lightening kicked in.. we took shelter in a little display and tried to wait it out as much as we could before getting too impatient.. and we all know I am not the most patient person. through the not so heavy bouts of rain we managed to make our way back over to the Polar Bears to watch them eat a snack of some kind of meat.. it was so cute how they use their paws and made it so worth while standing there in the pissing rain in a plastic poncho and it was a nice way to finish up our time at the zoo.
Afterwards we headed off on the hunt to try and find some hard lollies that are so very yummy.. but sadly we were unable to find them but we did manage to buy some boysenberry jam so it wasn't a complete loss.. its not the same as the boyseneberry jam I am used to but it does the trick.. once we got home I had boysenberry jam on toast for dinner.. mmmm tasty! Just what the doctor ordered! Especially after what felt like a lifetime on the train getting home.. I was starting to think that we would never make it home.. but we did and luckily we only live a 5min walk from the station. Home sweet home!
Another wonderful fun filled day with lots of laughs and rain and just fun in general.. I wish Emma could be on holidays ALL the time! But then this should tie me over until we go to Boston.. which I know is going to be an awesome trip.. how could it not? Things just turn into pure fun with Emma and I.. especially when it seems we have an endless supply of laughing gas.. which it seems we do these days.. good times.. good times!
