Day trip to London zoo and London aquarium

[lozzy]

Day started out by us missing the train to Brighton leaving us 2 minutes to run and get the train to London, we made it just in time.
Arrived in London to find out the Victoria line was closed so we had to get a different tube, not to bad but I hate it when you have it planned out and things change.
Arrived at Camden town and had a 15 minutes’ walk to London Zoo it was getting really warm by now, arrived and started with the aquarium.
Here are some shots, sorry about the quality of the shots but they are though glass.

We saw a lion and lioness plus the 2 month old cubs but I couldn’t get any photos due to where they were laying, (so so cute) the cubs were born on the 8th June (my mum’s birthday)

Of to the meet the monkey section, not sure if anyone has been to London zoo but this part is where you can walk though and the monkeys are free in the trees, it’s amazing to walk thought and have the monkey’s right next to you.

I think they should change it to... the public walking through the tiger enclosure instead of the monkeys....
