THe Pheonix Park

Finally decided not to get rotten at home on weekends.Made up my mind to brave the cold and head out.It sounds like i am going for  cross country bagpacking, is'nt it. Fact is I was heading to a nearby park.you can start snearing at me now.Its called the Pheonix park.Its a massive 760Hectares(1878 acres).Its so huge that there is a mountain inside the park.Its 7 kms from my home took my hot wheelz and started.Found  a few imporant monuments along the way(see pic 1 and 2). THe park is beautifully landscaped. I can image how it would be in spring.Fantastic. There is a track for cyclists. Very civilized helpful people. Some parts of the land was so expansive that ther was para sailing classes going on!!.I am sure The desktop picture of windows XP was taken from this place.THere was the zoo inside the park. Saw all sorts of rare animals,like Gorillas, snow lepords,penguines,artic fox,South america Tapir and seals which i never seen before.Good experience I must say.Was extremly glad to see our national bird greet the crowd there(last pic)
