And honestly that’ll be the last additions for a while - I was going to go onwards to Prague, Plzen and onwards East but for many reasons have to return to London. Was a great run though, and hopefully reviews of all the zoos I’ve visited will go up somewhere on the forum in the next few days :).
 
This is "Fill the Gaps in Europe" year for me and after the exciting Zoohistorica event in NaturZoo Rheine on 02/09 I went south to visit few big and special collections. After this trip, I can say that I have been at the top 50 zoos in Europe (missing Loro Parque eventually ) and also been to almost all "million" zoos ( Dublin is another omission here, but was postponed for the near future ). Wilhelma and Basel were specifically calling for a long time and I had fantastic experience there.
