The Life of Matthew

The weekend before last I went to Barcelona Zoo with Mummy, Daddy and all the children from my nursery school (and their Mummies and Daddies). It was excellent. Brilliant. Fantastic.

We left at nine o’clock and travelled to Barcelona on a coach which I really liked because we sat in the front. I have never seen so much from a moving vehicle as I’m normally stuck in my car seat in the back.

We got to the zoo at about 11:30 and from the start I loved it. The zoo is in the city and is very well laid out; there are lots of animals to see but in a relatively small area so there wasn’t as much walking (or pushing of pushchairs) as there could have been although there was a feeling of space with lots of seating and eating areas.

We spent all day looking at the animals (although I missed the bird bit because I was having a nap). Every animal that you would expect to see were on display, with information boards explaining habitat, feeding and such. My absolute favourites were the chimpanzees, lions and dolphins.

We left at five o’clock in the afternoon and again sat in the front of the coach. Not only could I see lots of interesting things on the journey I was also able to throw my teddy at the driver! What fun. What a great day out.

Until next time, bye bye.
