The
zoo suited us fine especially in comparison to Dubai Zoo –well Dubai Zoo is
probably not worth the name Zoo!
Especially
the monkeys worked inspiring!
Omar
and Elias searched for the crocodiles.
Their
search was rewarded as one of the crocodiles walked to the glass and proudly showed
all her teeth.
We
saw white lions, white tigers, giraffes, rhinoceros, hippopotamuses, and lots
of other animals.
Jade
pushed her brother the whole time.
Well, until she got exhausted and then he sat on her lap for the remaining of the trip.
We
ate real Belgian ‘Prins’-biscuits.
Dad
left for the airport shortly after we finished our trip to the zoo and the kids
slept all together in the big bed.
The
kids played out of this world, first on and later of the pitch.
He finally wore this jacket without crying!
We
should have left after the last game, because on the bouncy castle it went
wrong!
Elias
fell out of the back of the castle on the machine that inflates the air. As the
castle was rather high the paramedic on duty did not take any risk and drove
him with the ambulance to the hospital. He needed
checkup and stitches (he finally got 4 stitches).
The
siren coaxed a watery smile from Elias, so I knew that a concussion -feared by the
paramedic- was probably not under discussion.
It
took about 4 hours before he was taken care off and when the cashier appeared
not to be on duty –on a break to pray. I nearly lost my patience, I desperately
wanted to go back to pick up the other children whom I left alone with a –really
nice- lady I never saw before!
All
is well that ends well, the fraternal/sisterly love was never that big; and -after
an exhausting drive home- we all slept in the double bed. All their warm bodies
–with a here and there a scar- cozy together!
