Hippo Encounter

While in San Diego we of course visited San Diego Zoo. All we can say is WOW! This is the most amazing animal friendly fantastic zoo ever. Eoin was into it so much he walked/ran the whole of San Diego Zoo which is just over 100 acres and has nearly 4000 animals. The fact that we were there for opening at 9am was in our favor. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves for at least the first hour. The best bit of the Zoo was our encounters with the hippos. Just as we got there one of the hippos splashed into the water and came right over to Eoin. They starred at each other for a good 20 minutes. The other bit Eoin still talks about is being able to 'walk under an elephant'. It wasn't a real one of course but he thought it was great to explore a life size elephant sculpture.
