In the seal viewing-bubble at Living Coasts. This one was fascinated by Kezia twirling her pink flip-flop round and round against the glass

We liked Living Coasts - highly recommended!

Paignton Zoo

The very start of our visit to Paignton Zoo was a bit of a damp squib because the first 2 or 3 animals we tried to see were asleep or hiding, but in the end it turned out to be a terrific day out. We saw loads and loads, though this photo of a gorilla was probably the best animal picture that we managed to get. We were there well over 4 hours and we had a great time.

Mummy, (real) Kezia and Kezia-baby on the train round Paignton Zoo

The picture on the train was as close as we got to a tiger - the real ones were asleep, much to Kezia's disappointment

Messing about on the (rather run-aground) pedaloes on Goodrington Sands

On the Thursday, we caught the steam train down to Kingswear. It was great fun.

The view of 'our' beach at Goodrington from the train window as we set off

Kezia took this photo of us on the train down to Kingswear. Good effort!

The steam train sets off back to Paignton from Kingswear (we caught the bus back!)

Nice view while we were having lunch!

We had lunch at the Royal Dart pub in Kingswear. This was the view from our table. We could see across the river to Dartmouth, with all the river traffic going back and forth.
