Our final day took us to see some more animals at Dudley Zoo and Castle. We debated whether two zoos in a week was a bit too much but, we both agreed from our visit, that it was definitely an excellent decision! If you have read our blog before, you would know that most of our holidays involve a trip to the zoo and you'd think that we would be bored of them by now. However, what we are learning is that every zoo offers something slightly different. Dudley gave us an opportunities to see some animals that you don't commonly see in a very close up manner, and we found that the enclosures were well designed for visitor benefit! Some of our highlights included the wolverines, arctic foxes, sloth (with baby!), gelada, and of course the giraffes and red pandas. The zoo itself was quite hilly in places due to being situated around the castle, but the addition of this in the centre made it even more unique.
After wandering around most of the zoo, we opted to get some lunch in the Oak Kitchen which offered pies, paninis, jacket potatoes and other hot meals. Shannon chose to have a cheese and onion pasty with chips and Nicole had a cheese and onion panini and salad. Both were tasty and not too expensive for food bought at a zoo.
Once we had finished enjoying the animals, it was time for us to face the traffic and make the journey home after a very fun week away!
