Day 9 May 22

Today we went to the Wildlife Safari in Winston. The rv resort offers discounted tickets, $10 each rather than the regular $17.
It's about a 20 mile drive north. he park is really nice, you stay in your car and drive over a 4 mile road through acres of treed, grassy hills. All of the animals except the big cats and the bears wander freely.

There are no dogs allowed so mickey had to stay in a kennel provided.

This ostrich greeted us at the entrance and I had to back up and drive around it because it wasn't moving!

There were several giraffes, rhinos, zebras and lots of different linds of antelope as well as ostriches and rheas everywhere. The lions, tigers, cheetahs and bears are all kept in seperate enclosures which isn't as nice for them as the rest of the animals.

On our way out we stopped at the visitors center and I met Vincent, a 7 month old camel. He seemed to like the taste of my neck! Mickey really gave me the once over when he saw me later.

When we came back to the trailer went for a swim in the resort pool then spent some time sitting and enjoying the sunshine, temp. about 20c.

The resort has a free shuttle that picks you up at your rv site and takes you to the casino so we went and had the seafood buffet, only $12 each with our"seniors " discount for anyone over 55. We played the slots for awhile, Karen lost $25 and I won $5 so we were only down $20 altogether.
