Ready for the walk
Mum and Dad were denied the experience of Le Merlet Animal Park when they came in the autumn, because it was already closed. (Sadly, we didn't know, and made the trek all the way up there only to have our little picnic outside the park gates...). But this time we were not to be disappointed - it opened again for the season on May 1st, so we trekked along on the Saturday. I wouldn't say the animals were out in full force, and the weather was pretty cold and showery, but it was still a good walk, and the views as terrific as ever. We treated ourselves to coffee and cakes at the end.
We were rewarded with the sight of some of the baby deer that had been born
Stalking the deer
The llamas were exceptionally curious and friendly
'Geeza kiss' - Dad even made new girlfriend
The girls in their reflective rain wear
They have a practically tame marmotte at the entrance to the park, and the girls spent a long time following it around and trying to get close to it.
We weren't supposed to actually touch the animals, of course, but this little guy was pretty irresistible. And pretty confident too.
