Another clear blue sky day, once Lyn had managed to sort out her lost paypal password, we were good to go. The destination was the Jacksonville Zoo about 60 miles to the south. The quickest way would have been I95, but we decided to stay off the freeway and go the back routes. Most of the towns we passed through, and there weren’t many, had a population of around 1000. Dotted along the roads were either what appeared to be high end gated communities or not so desirable trailer parks with not much in between.
We got to the zoo and the parking lot was not overly busy, which was good. We also arrived at the same time as two busloads of kids, not so good.
The parking was free, unlike the zoo at the centre of the universe, and the admission was $14 which wasn’t too bad. The zoo didn’t appear to have a very large foot print , but was well laid out usng all the space available. I covered primarily Asia, Africa and Australia. Overall well worth a visit.
