Put the trombone down, *****!
Well this year we went to France on holiday again, camping for three weeks! 
We had a great time and I took lots of photographs to bore you all stupid with! 
The route:
St. Marlo (ferry port) - Rennes (overnight stay) - near Royan, in a town/village called St. Augustin (two week stay) - Dordognes (sp?) via Bordeaux (don't go any where near there if you don't like grapes, you get surrounded) - back to Rennes (overnight stay again) - St. Marlo, we spent the day there this time.
Yes, we travelled quite a lot on the holiday this year, and I can tell you, our backs all hurt a lot after the journeys! Note: Ford Mondeo seats just aren't comfortable on long jouneys.
So first of all, we stopped off at Guernsy (Sp?) one of the Channel Islands. If anyone can enlighten me on whether they speak French or English there, it would be over great help, as we are currently having a family debate!
So first pictures of the holiday: Guersey port!
Then we arrived at the campsite and such things, there was a beautiful sunset, but of course the camera couldn't pick the colours of both the trees and the sunset, no matter how hard I fiddled with...everything...Please excuse the top of the car, I had to lean on it to get my shot and keep th camera steady.
Here is what I believe to be a Redwood Tree (correct me if I'm wrong) lit up at night, it looked even more beautiful in real life!
So after that, we decided we would go check out the nearest beach. I can't remember the name of it, but it was a nice enough beach. Here is what I call the "Typical Seaside Scene"
And then, I was desperate to go to the zoo. I love animals just too much...so here are the pictures from Zoo de La Palmyre.
Flamingos - you could see these from outside the park!
And this one was from a different point in the zoo, but I'm going to group the animals by species rather then place in the zoo.
Here are two giraffe shots!
I think this was probably the Alpha Male of the wolf pack.
The caiman!
Capybara
I actually hate this shot, but I love cheetahs and thought it was cute...kinda...when you go past how crap it is...
This Emperor Tamarin was probably the youngest I saw in the whole zoo, and caused a lot of commotion with just that one feather. In the first picture, I had to shuffle the brightness and contrast about a bit, which is why there is noise in the image.
Again, crap shot, cute animal! I love Fennec Foxes!
This Giant Tortoise rocked! He is estimated to be around 132 or something, nice to see he's still going strong!
I'll post this one while I wait for more photos to upload onto photobucket.
