Getting a new pet.....
After last nights relatively high drama of losing my wallet and my telephone at the night market - safely recovered- I did some fairly sedate but very touristy things today.
First up was Flight of the Jungle- basically zip lining (or as we use to call the one in the back garden- firefox) around the jungle canopy. If you were afraid of heights this is probably no thing for you - we were anywhere between 3 and 100 M up in the air. I should also add that you should make sure you tie you camera onto yourself pretty well -mine took a tumble from about 10M up bounced and somehow still works!
The jungle as they call it here is stunning as it seems most of the scenery is - I have to say theses ziplines were definitely better for location but I still convinced ours back home had more pace- maybe that was because I was under 9 years old though!!!
The best bit was the abseil at the end where basically the dude controlling my rope just let it run and you were just falling face first- most amusing!
After returning from this I couldn't resist going to 'Tiger Kingdom'. It is actually quite a sad experience though I am told, as always the animals are happy- interestingly enough by an English person who was volunteering there. They are all hand reared- so could easily live in Hamble, and mainly seemed to like to sleep. They are truly beautiful creatures and incredibly docile - but I had to wonder what or how they were trained to be like that
Never the less I obviously going to get me one of these!

Saturday walking street is on today so will go have a look and then dinner by the river maybe adn a stroll through the night markets...what do I need versus what do I want- my current jewellery collection seems to be growing
Elephants tomorrow....I am going to need a bigger garden...something like Longleat maybe!!
I'm not sure your pussy cats would be too happy if they had to share their home with that Tiger !!
