TRAVEL: My Holiday Series - Day 2

On the second day we decided to try out driving in a European car; (left side drive and left side of the road). It was my first time and I was a little apprehensive at first but it really wasn't that bad!

I drove us both to Cerza which is a zoo in Hermival-les-Vaux which looks after animals that may be endangered or are a protected species.

There are 2 different circuits to choose from that take you around the zoo. The yellow circuit takes you via the wolves, kangaroos & bears and the red circuit guides you via the African Plains. There is also the Safari Train that takes you through part of both circuits and also to animals that you may not necessarily see on the red circuit. The Safari Train also takes you to see animals that you would normally see on safari such as zebras and giraffes! 

We spent most of the day at the zoo and it was an excellent day! We saw so many different animals from around the world and we even got to feed some goats in the petting farm. 

I would definitely recommend visiting this zoo if you are ever in Normandy. 

Which zoos have you been to?

Until next time, xo.
