Refugio Zoologico

We may be in the middle of town and only a couple of blocks from the shops but 100 metres down the road is the local zoological Gardens. This morning as there was no training and a number of athletes are on a rest day the team headed down to check out the local animal life. The park has wide cobbled paths with canopies of trees so it is very cool and gives the impression of a natural habitat. The animals and birds were caged along the paths some of the enclosures had little fences which the Kiwis were considering jumping and doing a timed alligator run from one side of the enclosure to the other -team competition - common sense only just prevailed
