We had planned to go to the Hamilton Zoo with my Dad on Friday after Christmas, but we woke on Thursday, everyone was awake early (well, early for us) and the weather was absolutely beautiful, so we went then instead (which was lucky, as it was wet on Friday)

Nothing too exciting happened, we got to see most of the animals, but the best thing was the chimpanzees, which have a new area. It has a bridge over their area, and after you walk across the bridge you can go check out their sleeping quarters. While we were standing at the bridge we noticed one of the animals was clutching something, which we later figured out to be a little girls hat. He then got up, and headed inside so we followed him, and we lucky to have a bit of an encounter at the viewing window.
