Vandaloor

Went to Vandaloor zoo last sunday, 8th Jan. It is 40Kms from our place(Thiruvanmiyur). There were 7 of us (Me, Maneksh, Lejo, Sixtu, AG, Shawn and Sebin). We took four bikes.The ride was uneventful except that I ran out of petrol on the way. Luckily this happened directly in front of a petrol pump. The zoo is good when considering the variety of animals they have there. But the way they have designed it disappoints you. You don't get a good view in some of the cages and in these they have the most popular ones. Still it is a nice place and they also have a Lion Safari which we could not try bcoz of time constraints.

Major (Lejo) as usual was carrying his heavy digital camera and was able to get some good shots. But halfway through we ran out of charge in the camera as we were trying a lil too hard to get some good shots of a tiger. So we couldn't capture on film (there was no film, just a usage, it was a digicam) some of the animals we encountered later.

After we were through with the sight seeing we went to the restaurant there for some snacks and to keep Maneksh busy ;). Then we hit the highway and it was back home.
All in all a day well spent.
