Bejing zoo

Back in Bejing now we visited the famous Bejing zoo, home of the pandas. Was really looking forward to it. Once we got through the door we saw the pandas first.

They were great creatures and very cute, smaller than I imagined as well. The problem was the surrounding area for the public to view them was hectic. Crowds of people pushing you over trying to get to the front. It was like a mosh pit, i got elbowed once or twice. That i didn't enjoy, people aren't patient in this zoo...

But the pandas were nice. :-)

The zoo didn't impress me at all. There were a few funny monkeys but the zoo was so big but there was nothing in it! Was like Tianaman square, massive but nothing to really look at. We spent 10 minutes walking before we found the next set of animals. Some places like the reptile house you had to pay to get into, even though we'd paid to get into the zoo! Don't recomend it at all.

So are 10 day holiday to china came to an end. China isn't a relaxing holiday, its loud, busy and hectic but if you want to visit somewhere different, embrace a new culture and visit many famous sites then it is a brilliant holiday. I really enjoyed it and the Chinese are so friendly. I had a great experience and would deffenetly go again.

Sheep!

Now it wouldn't be a trip to Wales if there wasn't any sheep would it!

Feeeeeed meee!

We also visited another zoo in Wales

An elusive Cheetah

Ibiza coast

Quite rough seas on one day off the holiday but made a nice gloomy photo. Wish we had a better camera back then but it was 2006.

Wouldnt it be great to own that and there!

Crabs love bread!

First time i ever saw a jelly fish, it made me not go in the sea for a couple of days.

Just me looking tanned

Chamelion

Just by the swimming pool in Portugal we found this beautiful green chamelion by the sun bed. Chamelions are my favourite animal so i took a lot of pictures of such a groovy looking reptile.

It had a missing limb, probbly bitten off by a bird. I didnt even know Chamelions would live here but this one did. when we tried stroking it, it puffed out opening its mouth saying "Back off I'll nip ya finger!"

We got a lot of attention from foreign pool goers so think they must be rare. we released it into a bush where it climbed normally despite the missing leg. Chamelion Paralimpics next year!

Look at its curly tail!

Dolphins!

Dolphins header balls

Do sincronised swimming

Dance

and do back flips

Really great Dolphin show, they did all sorts, danced, sand, did back flips every thing you want a dolphin to do. best sea creatures on the planet. want to swim with them sometime suppose to be the best thing in the world to do.

Another safari zoo

 Just some typical spanish food here. In spain you can pretty much find any type of english food, like fish and chips, beef burgers, pizza stuff like that. Dont think ive ever had actual Spanish food like Tapas.

 Another Safari like zoo here. Loved this Hippo, couldnt believe how big it was, one of the most deadlist animals right infront of me.

 Went to see a large cat show. I thought it was quite cruel really the tigers, lepords and stuff didnt want to be there. But have to give credit to the lion tamer. He had guts this mountain lion was trying to take his head off.

I saw Madgascar the movie, but it was this photo that made me love Leema's :)

More animals in spain

10 points for who can tell me what this monkey is? or is it an alien? I dont know.

A rather sinister looking owl

Tigers

Tigers, love tigers. Usually when you go to a zoo the tigers are usually lazing around in the sun but these were the most energetic tigers ive ever seen. Jumping up at the glass. was great

Still cant believe the size of them, look at its head. Georgeous creature.

"Shake my hand"

Looks refreshing.

Spain Safari

Love animals and Zoo's must go to a zoo every holiday, this one was a bit different was more like a safari.

You cant tell by looking but this bridge was really high, was quite scary to walk along and over looked some Buffalo

Is this one laughing?

Every body loves Elephants look how happy they look.

Fish in the sea

 
Nice picture here of a man whoes caught a load of fish. Hanging them out, must be a horrible sight for the other fish to see this. haha. "I see dead fish".

Dont know what these fish are but there was loads of them at the Marina. There pretty huge aswell.

Think this is a Blennie. Love Blennies there like big water dragons. A fisher man had caught this on his hook.
