Bristol Zoo was a busy old place this week as it was half term so the kids were off school. At first when we queued up to get in I had my doubts if it was such a good idea but the line moved quickly. Once inside, the place is small enough to get round in a few hours. Some of the enclosures could be bigger but I guess the good they do with their breeding programmes outweighs this. My favourite sight of the day was the Gorillas, especially watching the bond between Mother and Child.
After spending time at the Zoo we headed off to have a look at the SS Great Britain, a steamship built by Brunel. It was launched in 1843 and then recovered from the coast off the Falkland Islands. It's been restored to its former glory and I have to say is fantastic. I loved that you can go "under water" in the dry dock and have a look at the hull.
