I'm currentley sitting in an internet cafe with the hangover from hell! Serves me right for drinking too many cocktails last night.

The highlight yesterday was the zoo. There were merecats, tigers, siberian tigers, lions, baby lions, baby tigers, orangutans, snakes, leopards, panthas and bears. The animals were more looked after than I expected. However, the caged tigers were not happy, pacing about in their cages and the orangutans were wearing cloths which I though was a bit rubbish.

The tiger has always been my ultimate favourite animal. I had never realised how HUGE they are. If they want to eat you, they will. There would be no stopping them. Seeing them on TV really does not do them justice. They are beautiful and monsterous at the same time. Looking into their eyes is almost like being hypnotised. We tried to get in with the baby tiger cubs, but the keeper was away and we were not allowed in. This was a shame as I was looking forward to this the most. Never mind, I have loads of photos.

The orang utans were cool, they were just wondering about and were very friendly. They were amazing - they are so much like humans in so many ways.

I also had a burmese python (i think that is what it was) round my neck (it was huge and very heavy).

I'm now going to chill by the pool and then sleep this hangover away.
