A weekend sometime long long ago we wanted to go the the Welsh Mountain Zoo and since it's a couple of hours drive from us we stayed over in Betws-y-coed. A charming tiny town or village? Heavily dependent on tourism. Nice cafes though! Perfect for a little stop on your drive through Wales.
The minute we got out of the car in the zoo and I saw the setting: a cafe in a round building on top of the mountain, green grass field surrounding it, I knew I’d been here before. It just looked so familiar. Mr special said no way. I think the mountain zoo in Toulon? Just looks so similar.
Unfortunately we didn’t see any tigers. There was an enclosure but it was closed off.

Best part was when they let the penguins “loose” for their feeding time. They waddled up and down the grass field. And then the sea lion show started. They introduced them one by one (5 all together) and each went to the water to perform a trick - jumping high up to touch the hanging balls. I did make videos and boomerangs but unfortunately can't post them here :(
All in all a very small zoo - more of a rescue centre? but you do get a little closer to the animals than normally I think.
Ttyl ;)
