We have had two days without appointments and so we took the chance to explore some attractions in Forest Park, which we can walk/wheelchair to from our hotel.
Firstly we went to the zoo, where entry is free,and where even the zebras seemed to be trying to get out of the intense sun by sheltering under a few trees in their pen. We saw a Siberian Tiger and the information stated that it could eat 80lb of meat in one go, and this particularly interested Daniel as he had been weighed at the hospital the day before at 66lb!
Next day we went to the Science Center, which was also free to enter. The planetarium there was great as you could lie on mats in the middle of the room to watch the show. The imax cinema at the center showed a documentary about sea life and Daniel found the large hemispherical screen a bit too realistic at times; nearly jumping out of his chair at the sight of a close-up of those most scary of beasts, a cuttlefish!

Hi Adrian and Daniel. Glad to hear that everything is going well and you are managing to amuse yourselves in the downtime. Daniel, just to let you know that I have just got back from a diving holiday and I found Nemo! Only trouble was he promptly bit me on my finger so I told him to get lost again. :-)I also saw some cuttlefish which kept changing it's colour but they are a bit scary looking. keep the blogs coming.
