….. after our morning at the green ramp we discovered we were pretty close to the zoo which was on our list of places to visit in the city. We still had many hours to enjoy in the day so we went for it. The Johannesburg zoo is very large. So large that Claire & Rhys were too tired to walk so Jimmy had to give them shoulder rides taking turns.

Claire & Rhys’ hair has become more blonde since we arrived in South Africa. It makes them stand out and they get a lot of attention from people. We have found that people here on the most part really like children and our kids are quite the charmers. Walking through the zoo many people would reach out and would touch the kids on their heads or stroke their hair and smile at them.

We had fun seeing all the animals and the day was long so we all had a great sleep.
