Day 10-Warsaw-Last day in wonderful Warsaw

Another ace day in Warsaw. After getting up we went for a walk to find a supermarket to buy lunch. We quickly found somewhere and got a decent meal for us both for less than 5 euros. Myles then found out the sad news that his pet turtle Rudy passed away. This put a downer on his day really. We then got a taxi to the zoo. We were wary of the taxi driver ripping us off but we don't think he did. It cost us 5 euros to get to the zoo which is actually a very good price, considering this is a capital city.

At first we thought the animals were all going to be in there shelters as the first two were no where to be seen, then a grizzly bear appeared, plodding around it looked abit like my old dog Taz. Later on we saw the monkeys which were leaping around their cages chasing each other trying to steal one another's bananas, which was hilarious to watch. After the monkeys we arrived at the gorillas enclosure, which was pretty exciting, on the door it had a sign saying no flash so Ben turned this off on his camera forgetting that it still had a small light on it. Out of excitement he quickly aimed the camera at the gorilla and snapped a picture. The gorilla didn't like this one bit and he jumped up and threw itself at Ben teeth drawn, smashing itself against the glass. Ben was very scared after this. 

There were lots of other animals around the zoo that are worth mentioning but if we're to go through all of them you would be reading all night. Other highlights included the lions and the hippos. After the zoo we got another taxi to the Warsaw Uprising museum. It was interesting but there was so much text to take in. It might have been a bit much, considering how tired we always seem to be in the afternoons. We are going out for another meal as a good bye to Warsaw and then we take the train at about 1 o clock tomorrow afternoon to Krakow. I see things might be warming up just a tad in England. It's still really cold here but we will survive.
