Seeing alot of animals that you wouldn't normally see every day was fab. Monkey enclosure was closed which was a shame. We spent 3 hours and also a meal whilst there. It was a very hot day so the kids were getting tired and grumpy otherwise we probably would have spent a little more time there. My older child with us was the map reader nick named " the sat nav" he's nearly 12 so gave him good practice at map reading.

This is our first time traveling via rail in Europe and we had a wonderful time. We only experienced one late train which is saying a lot. We wish transportation worked this well in the US as we would use it much more than driving.

I loved seeing the Scottish home of the royal family and was grateful to hear the audio in Portuguese. Delighted with the conservation of the rooms and gardens. Good to know that we were able to witness the existence of this place and see how everything is so well preserved and protected.
