We've been on holiday in Jersey with some of Joyce's Weekly Walks group for a week walking (most of) the Jersey Tidal Trail around the perimeter of the island and visiting a few of the sights.
Today was a "sights" day for us. While the dedicated walkers did the strenuous North-East corner of the Tidal Trail, Dawn, Dan, Dru and I visited
Jersey Zoo. Then afterwards Dawn and I visited the
Jersey Museum, Art Gallery and Victorian House.
Here are just a few of my photos.
The others took the same bus as us and got dropped off close to where they had finished on Saturday.
Dru travelled separately but we bumped into her later. Here are Dan and Dawn at the entrance to the zoo. Read about the animals the have in the zoo
here.
We watched the giant otters for a while first.
I liked the tropical birds enclosure for all th exotic bird song.
Then it was on to the amphibians. The tree frogs were tiny!
One of meerkats on guard.
A view down the middle of the park.
We joined the talk about the orang-utans and other primates who came out to play (and get fed).
The giant tortoises had a warm and humid enclosure.
We loved the butterfly tunnel.
The flamingoes are very pink.
Back in St. Helier and the Jersey museum.
I loved this glass piece. Each of the panels illustrated one of the 12 parishes of Jersey.
There was a view of Fort Regent. This is how it used to be used.
A lovely day out.
