KNOWSLEY SAFARI PARK!!!

The last leg of our brief but epic tour of British attractions, and what a fantastic way to finish off: Knowsley Safari Park in Liverpool! We arrived in the 'pool late on Monday night after our drive up from the south coast and after having a late bite to eat we got ourselves up and ready in the morning for breakfast, before making the short trip to the safari park. We showed our e-ticket and headed straight in to the drive-through! It was amazing!

We saw lions, walking around just a few feet from the car. We also saw emus, ostriches, rhinos, deer, reindeer, zebras and even baboons! Yes, Daddy was persuaded to take his car down the "car unfriendly" baboon route! It was exciting and a bit scary but no monkeys jumped on our car, and Daddy's car escaped unscathed! He was very happy with this!

After the safari we chilled in the 'walk around' area and went on a few rides; the carousel, the dodgems and we even saw a great sea lion show where three sea lions (one of them a really cute baby called Roger) performed tricks in exchange for fish and the occasional pat on the back. Lovely stuff.

Mummy took us to have our faces painted whilst a peacock strutted around on the roof - he plucked a feather out of his side and threw it to the ground. Lori picked it up and we took it home! Later we walked up to see the elephants and the giraffes before we had one last ice cream, and it was time to go home. The excitement was all too much in the end and before we'd even started on the relatively short journey back from Liverpool we were ready for our beds!

We've had such a great time on these four days it's kind of sad to be home, but we'll just have to plan more amazing adventures another time!
