Sharp's Travels
Today it is suppose to rain in the afternoon. We want to do the Topeka Zoo before the rain sets in.
We arrived at the zoo by 9:30am. There were very few cars in the parking lot. That was a plus for us. The zoo is small with lots of shade as your walking around. It houses over 400 animals from all over the world and a tropical Rain Forest.
We saw the giraffes first. I think they are always the coolest animals in the zoo, but today my favorite was the baby hippo chasing the ball around in the water.
We entered the Rain Forrest and there was a bird that whistled at us and said “Hello”. I was enjoying the variety of birds, flamingos and turtles. We were almost through looking around in there and there was a stairway to an upper level---of course we took it and could see all the bird in the tops of the trees. I was good with that until we spotted the bats hanging from the ceiling. I was ready to go right now. Down the stairs and out I went! They are defiantly my least favorite animal here.
We checked out the apes, lions, elephants, antelope, and otters, then headed to the other side of the park to see the eagles, swans, and walk through the Black Bear Woods.
It took us about 2 hours to go through the zoo and when we came out the parking lot was full. It was time to move on.
We headed for the Harley-Davidson Yesterday’s Museum and shop. They had some neat old bikes and of course Gay had to have a Topeka Harley tee-shirt.
It was back to the 5th wheel and I got some laundry done, along with getting things picked up and put away so we’ll be ready to hit the road tomorrow.
