.... which is the second largest city in Denmark, but our own zoo closed long ago - and the same dire fate befell a small private aquarium. However there are several zoos within reach, and I normally buy a membership to a different zoo each year, sometimes two. This year I have bought a card to Givskud Lionpark and Zoo in Jutland.
My own zoo interest goes far back. I'm born in 1953, and I have photos from Copenhagen zoo from 1964. But already in 1962 I had to be dragged forcibly out of that zoo because we had an appointment. In 1972 I began my interrail travelling, and there I visited as many zoos as I could afford. I'm still an inveterate traveller (and member of a travel club), so the number of zoos and aquaria I have visited keeps climbing upwards - right now the total number hovers around 420 (excluding national parks, farms etc.). The latest newcomers on the list this year are Blairdrummond safari park and the Sealife Aquarium in Balloch at Loch Lomond. And I have revisited the place where Marseille once had a zoo.

I don't think it's his forte
