Weekend Workout Part 2


This lovely stain glass piece is the center piece of the dome at the entrance. Truly superbly done.


There were some interesting birds like the African crown crane (above) who kept poking into the bags of visitors and was very interested in the ruffle of plastic esp the chips packet. Gave us a quiet a good pose though. And this parrot(below) who kept hanging upside down all the time and came close to where we were to strike this pose. I think it was very fascinated by the blinking red light of my camera anyways there was also competition for the others too joined in.



There were some nice swings and benches all over the place so it was good to sit down and absorb the beautiful surroundings. BTW there's also a huge man made waterfall, supposedly the largest man made water fall in Asia. By the end of the day we were all exhausted from the walking but the excitement was still there.

Nature always amazes me, the variety and the individuality is so interesting. Going to a zoo or bird park or even a botanical garden is probably the best thing I would like to do on a holiday. Its better than any shopping :)
