So opening weekend of the trout season happened in the Snowy mountains and as my attendance at this annual event would be somewhat questionable we ended up going to the Ueno zoo in Tokyo and it only cost ¥600 (about $8) to get in.

The weather was a little on the damp side, it was opening weekend after all, but this kept the number of people down to a manageable level and access to the animals was very easy. The zoo is only a 15 minute train ride away from where we are staying and is located in the heart of the urban jungle with museums and art galleries in the same precinct. However, as we are learning the designers of this city are able to take what little green space is available and make it feel like you have many acres of space.

There were apartments overlooking the zoo and you can only imagine what it would be like to be living in one of the most populous cities in the world and waking to the sound of lions roaring, elephants trumpeting and monkeys screeching.

There was a huge range of animals in the zoo including all the usual suspects and a little something else for others.
