BORING ZOO IS BORING

ARGH HEADACHE.

... wait.

that's the end of the day.

I SHOULD TELL YOU THIS STORY FROM THE BEGINNING.

Wake up at eight, shower, wake up kriz, he showers, and then WE DRIVE
about an hour and a half
to get to Bristol.
to go to the zoo.

ZOOOOOOOOOOO

Anyway, so we meet up all in front of the train station (which, i swear to god, seems to contain some sort of portal that takes you to a place where train tracks are, because i never SEE any trains or tracks ANYWHERE except in stations)-

um, anyway, so while we're waiting for the last few people, sae and I head down into the station to search out a Cash machine. . .i pull out my last ten quid and he pulls out a bit more, including a ten to get kriz into the zoo...

with my fifteen i can get kriz and I bus tickets, and with the ten i can get myself into the zoo (which is usually 13 or so a person, but is 9 if you're in a group of ten or more)

mmm..... and kriz is being mopey, so i buy him an ice cream. which he proceeds to not eat for awhile. D:

ah, after that we establish a time to meet back up (which everybody except for the guy who set the time could have sworn was 4.00 PM, so i think he's just making shit up ;3)

and then..

we split up.

since kriz is being mopey and sae's taking pictures, i end up by myself, walk around the zoo once or twice, then find kriz in the bug rooms, where he's starting to perk up a bit.. kind of.

then it's around the zoo again, including through the butterfly room, and back to the food court where we find the rest of the furries...

after a bit of dawdling there, we go to lead Sae to the Meerkats.

As i recall, some people followed us, and kriz starts to send fish into a tizzy by dropping things into the water (will have video for that if/when i can cut it down, because of course they stopped responding once i turned the camera on)
... but anyway, that ensued in great lols.

and then.. halfway to the meerkats...

RAIN OCCURS.
ARGH.

kriz runs out of it, sae runs to catch up with kriz, and i just keep walking at my normal speed-

they see me come around the bend sopping wet and kriz goes "Oh fuck that"

so we sit underneath the trees for a bit before i realise that we're right next to the place where we can clock our running speeds..

my fastest so far is 22.1 mph~ kriz i think hit 30.8 but usually hovered around 25 or so.
i would have killed for a bit more room to work up to speed, but still~

anyway, still fucking raining we try to find the other furries again, and we do...
huddled under an umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
myself and one other stand out in the rain, though (cuz we're hardcore) and we get to talking about theme parks and the like, and what's open when and in what weather can one be expected to find people there...

and then the rain lets up just enough that we can head back to the giant tarp that covers the food place.
after a while there (during which time we talk mostly about snow) we head back out to the meerkats again, then around to the parts of the zoo we haven't seen yet. . .

some of which (like the "trash" exhibit) are extremely frightening.
(also by this time kriz has been a bit more cheerful for some time.. since a little before the fish incident)

so after we run through the zoo again, we head to the original meeting point to wait until it's time to go, during which we discover the gift shop and dick about (BUG EYES PLUSHIES ARGH)

mmm, and spend the rest of the time waiting for the hat-man to get back so we can leave. . .

and we leave just in time to wait for the bus.

so to pass the bus-waiting time, kriz gets an ice cream, and i get two twisters.
which are made of POPSICLEGASM.

>>

mm, yes.

then it's on the bus back to the station, and then from the station to the Knights Templar Pub, at which point there is much eating and conversation.

and i start to develop a headache due to too much crackage of the neck-bones.
D:


also that was the single most boring zoo i have ever been to, which is saying something, as all zoos are pretty boring.

anywho, tomorrow we will be sleeping in most of the time, and on monday we'll be getting up at four to head back to london for our flight home :3
