Day 174  Jan 25 2015  Bangkok  Thailand


We took a taxi to the Dusit zoo in the morning.  After reading many bad reviews on trip advisor and that you could go through the zoo in 1 to 2 hours, I was prepared for the worst.   We enjoyed the zoo and spent more than 7 hours there.  At the hippo pen there was a keeper feeding a hippo.  He let David and Isabel feed a few handfuls of grass to the hippo, the size of the mouth was daunting.  They had some really cool monkeys that are endangered and an albino barking deer.  The kids also got to feed some black tip reef sharks using a piece of fish tied onto a fishing rod.  When we left the zoo we decided to walk the 3 km to the sky train as finding a taxi to our  hotel during rush hour is almost impossible unless we want to pay 4 times the meter rate.  When we were almost at the hotel Evy noticed a little restaurant tucked back into an apartment complex, the food was good and cheap.
