After a hectic week, we treated ourselves to dinner out on Thursday at one of our favourite places, Nagasui. It's not far from the pet shop where we often stop to look at the rabbits in the front window, and there was an adorably lop-sided one there this time.
Friday was a classic bank holiday downpour, so we stayed in and caught up on various things that had backed up during a hectic previous few weeks. Sunday looked like the best day of the four, so we headed out to our local wildlife park to see what the wildlife was up to. I had a delicious wild pig bratwurst (hard not to photograph the logo of something with all the advertising around).
Just as we were finishing up, some of the keepers/rangers came along and threw huge cylindrical blocks of ice with food frozen inside into the bear enclosure, sparking serious interest and some fighting among the two adults and three cubs. One adult eventually picked one up and headed off to a secluded corner (behind the concrete wall) while the other continued to be bothered by the cubs.
The park is also fundraising to build a "House for Mouse & Co." which has started construction.
Beautiful views crossing the bridge to the other part of the park (with elk, buffalo, foxes and Prezwalski's horses).
And from the top of the hill inside the park, you can even see the mountains in the distance.
And on the way out, a beautiful wood-tiled building that looks like it's part of the park - the buffalo are in next to it anyway.
