Visiting the "zoo" was probably the highlight (outside the Monsoon Saloon of course). The only irritating catch was when we first entered, we had the option of purchasing $20 buckets of carrots to feed the giraffes, $10 buckets to feed the camels and $5 cups to feed everyone else. Evidently, the animals were starving. So let me get this straight...I am paying to enter the zoo, then I am paying the zookeepers to feed the animals that live there? What do the zoo people do all day? Collect money for food?
I gave the boys each a quarter and told them to go to the coin-operated feed machine and throw some pellets at the giraffes.
Traveler tip #47: Giraffes have loooong black slimy tongues.
"Pellets? Are you SERIOUS? Look how big I am, kid. Where is my $20 carrot?"
