Monday 26th August - Botanical Gardens and Zoo

Warm day of 29 degrees but you could feel the heat out in the direct sun.

We drove to the Capricorn Spire which is located at the Tourist Info Centre. This is the Tropic Of Capricorn Line that differentiates between the Temperate Zone and the Tropic Zone. A good place to stop for info if you need it and they also have a good gift shop.

After this we went to the Botanical Gardens and the Zoo. Both of these are free to visit and it would have been good to walk around as these are the prettiest that we have seen so far. Way to big for me to walk around and I'd forgotten to take my PD Medication with me so was feeling a bit 'off'. Still something that we hopefully will get a chance to re-visit at a later date.

Clive went MIA again and I heard him chatting to next door. I could put my arm out the window and touch his car as that's how close we are packed in. Still off the Capricorn Cave tomorrow for 2 nights.
