Not a big deal, we have all done it. I was accidentally counting cetaceans at one point until someone noticed because I just assumed the counted without confirming with the actual list of qualifying species like I had done up until that point.

I had a really disappointing ending to my four week Indonesian trip - I had planned for Taman Safari Bogor to be this past Monday, which was my last full day in Indonesia. Unfortunately, I was defeated by traffic. The drive from Bogor city, when I was staying, to the park was 22km - I asked my Grab driver to turn around when, after nearly two hours, we’d only made it slightly less than halfway.

Google Maps had a series of flooding alerts for Bogor Regency which, coupled with the fact I was there during school holidays, meant the entire route was one long traffic jam (at least heading towards the zoo - the way back was clear at least by Indonesian standards). So, in the end I missed what is reputedly the best zoo in Indonesia. I’ll have to tack a brief return to Jakarta onto my next trip to Singapore - and this time, I’ll stay at the zoo itself.
