Last weekend a friend and I went to stay at the lovely Penrhos Cottage for some rest and relaxation. I’ve previously stayed at Penrhos Cottage, see my blog post: Mid-Wales, Part 1: The Lovely Penrhos Cottage. We spent the time catching up, enjoying nature, watching TV and reading books. It was great to have no schedule.
On the Saturday I took the opportunity to walk up into the hills and found a private garden with some miniature buildings. I hiked further up the hills and found some abandoned slate ruins. See some photos below:

On the Sunday we stopped off at Animalarium, Borth’s Zoo on our way home. Animalarium is a small Zoo that also takes in unwanted pets. You can really get close and interact with the animals at this Zoo. You can even buy pots of food and feed some of the animals. This animal interaction makes it an ideal place to take children. Throughout the day it had a number of free talks about some of the animals and some opportunities to see animals getting fed. My friend and I had an enjoyable time, here are some photos of the animals:
 Animalarium: Lemur |
 Animalarium: Monkey 1 |
 Animalarium: Monkey 2 |
 Animalarium: Meerkats 1 |
 Animalarium: Meerkats 2 |
 Animalarium: Goat |
 Animalarium: Cat |
 Animalarium: Wallerby |
 Animalarium: Jaguar – Sunbathing. |
 Animalarium: Some sort of Bird |
 Animalarium: Calf |
 Animalarium: Pythons |
 Animalarium: Pythons Sign |
Animalarium is a small Zoo and as such felt like a place that needs more financial support. My friend and I talked about maybe adopting an animal or two there, it’s something I certainly intend to do when money is less tight.
Hope you enjoyed the update and photos.
Blog soon,
Antony
