We particularly enjoy walking in the outdoor area, climbing the hill to the Wild Cornwall area. We had a lot of laughs here, as John has just bought the iMovies app and wanted to take some film clips to play around with... Sean and I duly obliged with some seriously crazy acting up- goodness knows what John can do with it but we laughed a lot and had great fun.
The outdoor area is spectacular, careful planting makes it all very natural. It's a quiet area, many visitors just focus on the biomes, but as in so many places, a little extra walk is well worth the effort.
Some new features are the sensory gardens... I found the water feature particularly relaxing.
After a mocha and Danish pastry we were ready for the Tropical biome. For the first time on one of our visits the high viewing platform was open. It is 50 feet above the canopy and is closed as soon as it gets too hot to be safe. I don't like heights or wobbly bridges so left John to go up alone... It scared me enough watching him... He is the person to the right of the three going up the steps in this photo... Rather him than me!!!
It's the little things that make your day! I discovered this outdoor pipe glockenspiel while Sean was exploring... Of course it wasn't long before he wanted a go too...
What a lovely autumn day, lets hope that we get enough good weather over the next couple of months to visit again before winter. How lucky we are to live so close.
Until next time
Gillian
