After that it was time to see all the different types of animals, these ranged from monkeys, to parrots to meerkats and even a huge tortoise much, much bigger than the girls school tortoise Shelly! Before they knew it was time for lunch, so they found a shady spot and tucked into sandwiches and drinks.

But fear not as this didn't worry the girls who instead got a chance to wander in the Jubilee Gardens looking at the incredible flowers.
