Korkeasaari - Helsinki zoo

After a week of rainy and cloudy weather, finally GOD shows bit "mercy". Weather is promised to be warm and sunny during the weekend. Certainly we are not going to waste it. We decided to go to the zoo.

Helsinki zoo locates on an island called Korkeasaari. The ferry journey from market square to Korkeasaari takes only 15 minutes. This is bobo's second time to Korkeasaari; she has also visited Shanghai zoo last December.

If you visit Helsinki, the market square is a must go. In the summer, it's full of stands selling fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers and Finnish souvenirs. The square is packed with people in such a wonderful weather like today. Hundreds of people are queuing for ferries to Suomenlinna, Korkeasaari and Helsinki sight seeing.

Many animals are shied away, we didn't see many of them, only bears, monkeys, reindeer, deers, camels and some birds. A day in the nature is the best get away. We love it!

(what are those? flying ants, hrrrr...)

A young male donkey was found dead after a conflict with an old camel on Wednesday evening. The camel drew a big crowd :-)
