Londyn / London

Malem bych zapomnela na mou zastavku v Londyne! Sesla jsem se tam s prateli, ktere jsem potkala v Africe, a bylo to moc fajn. Vzali me zadarmo do londynske zoo, protoze tam delaji dobrovolniky, tam jsem se vzdycky chtela podivat na ksukola, tolik zvlastni a proslavenou nocni madagaskarskou poloopici, ale jeho pavilon byl jako naschval zavreny. Alespon jsem tedy videla novy vybeh pro gorily, ktery je docela slusny, ale jinak je to velice prumerna zahrada. To je ale vseobecne znamo, stejne jako to, ze ale investuji velke prostredky na zachranu zvirat ve volne priride, coz je pravdepodobne mnohem dulezitejsi...No, potom me jeste vzali na obed do thajske restaurace, a pak uz me posadili na autobus, a do Glasgow jsem jela pres noc... A ted jsem tady, dve hodiny od Glasgow, v pestirne vresu..
I would almost forget about my stop in London! I have met great frineds of mine who I was living and working with in Monkeyland, SA, and we had most lovely time together during one day... They took me to London zoo, where I always wanted to go to see an aye-aye, the lemur known from Durrel's book, but his house was closed that day unfortunately. But at least I have seen the brand new enclosure for gorillas, which is quite cool. Otherwise the zoo doesn't reach out of average, which is known, but what is also known is, that they work a lot for conservation in nature, which is far more important anyway...So like that. Well, then they took me for a best lunch ever to Thai restaurant and after that I left by an overnight bus for Glasgow...And there I am, in a heather nursery..
