New Years, part 2

We read on the website that the Zoo was open on New Years and would be free!  It's only 300 R admission for adults (children are free) (so about $9) but, hey, free is free.  Some of the other museum choices cost more on the holidays, and most everything was closed on New Years.

The metro was really empty.  All day long.  Very odd, like a ghost town.  No one goes anywhere on New Years' Day around here.

But the zoo was packed.  Wall to wall people.  Most animals were inside, and some indoor places we just couldn't get into with the crush.

So after walking the usual route around, and letting the kids play in the play space, we gave up.

E did get to see the snakes/alligator house which we didn't see the first time, and K liked the elephants (their 'house' is of course enormous).

It was mostly grown ups in the zoo.  Most things to do are closed on New Years.  This was the ONLY thing we knew of that opened up.  And if you have friends visiting from out of town for the holidays, and they aren't completely drunk, where else do you go?

So we'll try the zoo again on an ordinary day.
