How very cool! Love love the giraffe pictures. And so cute about that ostrich, too. Can't wait to hear more!

[lexiemom]

What a neat experience! I love giraffes and Dolly is beautiful! Great photos!

[BelmontBelle]

I love the giraffe encounter. Dolly is so cute and you captured the moment so perfectly that I almost felt like I was there. Mark is very brave to give her a "kiss".

[Jillybean]

What an absolutely cool experience!

The tour sounds great. Busch Gardens seems like a great day out. Did you say that that the price of admission was included with your Discovery Cove ticket?

The standard Discovery Cove tickets include admission to SeaWorld. If you pay a little extra, you can also get admission to Busch Gardens.

Wednesday 19 December – part four: a close up encounter with Forest

Then we were taken to meet Forest the black rhino. I couldn’t believe how close we got to him. It was wonderful to see him so close up an we got to see him eating from his keeper’s hands. It was quite an experience.

My photos:


Mark’s photos:


Then it was time to jump back on the truck and head on to the north savannah to see some of the white rhinos. Unfortunately, we didn’t stop to get photos of them. At some times, it was quite bumpy out there, but I don’t think we did too badly with photos:

Then it was back on to the south savannah, where we fed an eland. This time though, it was just thought the grills of the vehicle, so I passed, as it just didn’t seem nearly as exciting as the giraffe feeding.



Then our adventure was over, as we headed back, getting a few final photos on the way.



This had been a superb tour and well worth every penny of the $45 per person that we paid for it. I can thoroughly recommend it and can see why that other couple are now on their fourth one of these tours.

Next: a wonderful thank you

[Colexis Mom]

Great pictures of the rhino and the other animals I'd say that was definitely money well spent More please

[patclairesmom]

Once again, great photos. I just love the Rhinoceros!

[mattnkatsmum]

Fabulous tour and great photos. Excellent value too!

OMG Look closely at the zebra!! Did nobody else notice this?

And I have to say I Mark's shirt. I think I need that to wear here at school for some of my fellow moody teachers to read

[MickeyMAC]

Sounds like a good tour, your pictures are great.

[BelmontBelle]

That was a great tour, it looked like a lot of fun!

I hadn't noticed what the zebra was doing in the picture until Melissa kindly pointed it out....... Thanks for my first good laugh of the day!

[emtpej]

It looks like Mark got pictures of the white rhinos (but what would I know?).

[PrincessSharon]

That tour really looks great. You both got fabulous photos. I'm definitely doing it the next time I visit BG.

I loved the giraffes pictures Cheryl! It was so neat that you got to be that close to Dolly and actually feed her yourself! I liked the rhino pictures too. Very interesting tour.
