Pandas and Penguins

Last week we took the girls to the zoo here in Chiang Mai. We weren't sure what the day would be like exactly. For parking, zoo tickets, panda tickets, penguin feeding, bus and "monorail" passes, and lunch we spent about 18 dollars.

The Chiang Mai zoo is on the side of a mountain, and it is difficult to traverse without riding a bus or taking the rickety, one rail train. The monorail is nothing like what they have at DisneyWorld or Disneyland.

This panda was sleeping peacefully until Haven started talking.
Then it immediately looked up and stared at Haven.

The cost to enter the panda exhibit was more than the cost of entering the zoo itself!

We were going to go see a seal show, but it was closed when we got there. I guess they were cleaning or something instead... So we went to see the penguins and found out that Hope could feed them! She had a lot of fun.

Getting her boots on... 

Ready to meet the penguins.

The gloves were a little too large for her, but she had fun with the penguins anyway.
