The Animal Fair

Today we decided to take a hike outside Dublin city center, to see Pheonix Park and go to the Dublin zoo. The Park is about as large as all of Dublin again and has lots of paths, bike trails and cricket pitches. We strolled through part but only managed to make it about halfway.
There is also a herd of deer that live in the park, but we weren't able to find them. We did see some more swans, ducks and herons though. 
Next we went to the zoo which is a part of the park. It was pretty busy, and we were probably the only ones there without little children. It was fun though, me and Sian both love animals, she's studying biology, while I on the other hand just like to draw them. But I got some cute photos of some of the different zoo animals we saw.

And a few more photos from the long walk back.
