Trip To Taiping Zoo

Me and my wife have been planning this for sometimes already. Seriously, we don't know what is the reaction when our kids saw the REAL animals. One thing for sure, there will be a lots of why-why questions. BTW, I learned one thing. Never, never, never tell your kids about your plan in advance. They will nagging you day and night ...

Finally here comes the DAY. Just before we pack our stuff into my car, heavy rain pulak ... sigh ... To make thing worst, my car running out of battery, cannot start ... double sigh.

In order not to spoil the day, I drove my wife car instead. We started our journey at 9am and arrived Taiping around 10am and surprisingly, a sunny sky. [Thanks to my GPS system, I never get lost again]

The entrance fee for adult - RM5.00 and children - RM3.00, whereas the mini train ticket for adult and children is at RM3.00 and RM1.50 respectively.

First, we took the mini train around the Zoo (one round trip is about 25 minutes). Then, we walked. At least a good exercise for me, he he.
