We put our bags in hold as our train wasn't until later in the evening and headed for a fun first visit in years to a ZOO!!!! We can't really remember the last time we had been to one so were like excited little kids as we got to the gates. The first fact about the Berlin Zoo you should know is that the first bomb dropped by the Allied forces on Berlin killed the only Elephant in the zoo. Luckily for us though they had replaced it with more :)
The zoo has almost every type of animal you could think of including an aquarium and reptile centre and its huge so we needed the full 6 hours we had planned to get round everything. We can't list everything we seen but really enjoyed seeing the penguins, kangaroos, fish, panda, polar bear, lions, tigers, rhinos, monkeys, giraffes and elephants. There are more if you are wondering but we don't want to bore you. Some of the animals including the elephants and giraffes had babies recently so it was really cute to see them so small. Here are some of our favourite pictures.
Our action packed day came to an end when we had to leave Berlin and catch our train to Frankfurt (after collecting our bags). Luckily though we had time to wait before our train so managed to catch more of the excellent volleyball tournament which was of a higher standard as it was in the latter stages of the competition e.g. the rubbish countries had been knocked out.
We arrived safely in Frankfurt on our superfast train and went straight to bed after another long day.
