London Zoo

I no longer know what to think. Our booked hot air balloon flight got cancelled again "because of weather conditions." It's absolutely calm, cloudless hot day in London and it seems it simply can't be more perfect day for the flight. How much better could it possibly become??? The balloon flight was supposed to be a fun present for our wedding anniversary last year that is now turning into something hopeless. We were asked to rebook the flight for the other day, which is another issue since they have all days booked out 1 month in advance. In the best case we will fly in September, but this month is nothing like July and August which are the warmest in UK. I absolutely can't wait to fly the air balloon, but months and months of facing miserable cancellations makes me frustrated :(

Last week we went to the London Zoo. We took there Mark last time in May when they had a new penguin show and it was sort of a big hit in London and probably every Londoner especially those with kids visited it. The show was nothing at all special with untrained penguins walking around swimming and making some sounds occasionally. But the zoo itself was very much worth visiting and we could easily spend all day there as it was so much to do. First of all the zoo is huge, it occupies very big territory of the Regents Park and has a variety of animals. Last week went there again, this time with some colleagues of mine and Mark loved it, especially after getting a lot of attention from adults. He was more active than usual.
