Port Lympne

As promised, here are some photos from our day out at Port Lympne. I like animals, and I like going to the zoo. But I also feel bad about the conditions under which the animals have to live. I guess, Port Lympne is a kind of compromise. The wild animal park is spread over 600 acres and most animals have quite a lot of space. Even though it's of course not the same as living in the wild.

Tickets are quite expensive (£23.95 for adults), but you can get a passport for the same price, which grants admission to the park for a whole year. So, if you live close by, it's certainly worth it.

What a view on Kent's countryside

the orang-utans share their home with rabbits (I didn't manage to get a photo with both in it)

apparently they never slide down the helter-skelter, they just climb up and down

all three tigers were having a nap in the sunshine

Just chillin' in the sun

cuddling with baby - but such a sad face...

grooming time - it must be nice to be in the centre of attention
