The one where they went to the zoo.

The other week N and I were due to pick up his best friend Rob from Lisbon airport his flight was arriving late in the evening. Now instead of spending yet another day at the beach (it's a tough life) we thought we'd spend the day visiting Lisbon Zoo. N and I are both nuts on zoos and the thought of spending a lovely sunny day watching the animals was very appealing.

Being a Thursday we practically had the whole zoo to ourselves apart from the cutest little children on school trips wearing their little sun hats, so adorable that we didn't mind.
Even though the zoo is fairly small we spent 8 hours wondering around in the beautiful sunshine amazed at how close we could get to the animals. The zoo even has a little stand up cable car which flies you high above the zoo and even dangles you above the lions enclosure-eek!

If you're ever in Lisbon or find yourself stranded at the bus station (the zoo is opposite!) the zoo is a fun day out.

Here are a few snaps from our day...
