Jardin Zoologico

It was a public holiday here today so there was no school.
I did a lot of walking around again this time ending up at Plaza Italia in Palermo near the Jardin Zoologico.
The Zoo is set in a lovely park so I decided to visit. It was packed and seemed very popular with children. Most of the buildings date from the period when the zoo was opened in 1875 and, while I liked the look of them, they are a bit past their prime.
It is fair to say that this zoo is not at the cutting edge of modern zoological practice but I spent a relaxed couple of hours strolling around the exhibits. The big cats were the highlight.
