Right then..it's 31st May, roughly about 11.30ish (am) and we are off to Noah's Ark Zoo Farm in Bristol. We being myself, Jason, Jasmine, Jason's mother and Jason's nephew.
My mother and father decided to come down too in their car.

The Meriva is just so damn comfortable..I love driving it!

I can't help but notice the admiring glances thrown my way when I'm driving this beauty down to Bristol and truth be told, I'm feeling quite smug with myself.

Jason's nephew (aged 8) is asked what he thinks about the car..his response sums it up perfectly. 'Awesome!'
The bit he likes best is the Panaramic sunroof and the fact he can move his chair forward/back.

After a 45minute journey which has been perfectly navigated by the in-built Sat Nav, we arrive at our destination.
We are stunned momentarily by Animal Rights Protesters camped outside but they are staging a peaceful protest and allow us to drive through.

Noah's Ark Zoo Farm is great! Jasmine loves bouncing on one of three huge trampolines outside and we attempt the Mega Monster Maze which roughly takes on average 70 minutes to complete! ( We got fed up and cheated!  :)
Sooooo frustrating but very amusing.

Then it's on to see the many animals..I didn't realise just how cute Giraffes are. It made me giggle to see Meerkats and someone quoting 'Simples!'

The monkeys were the best though..the baby one kept trying to jump on the swing with it's mother but the mother kept running off with the rope!

The lions and tigers were very fierce looking and I was incredibly glad that a huge wired environment separated them from us..I didn't fancy becoming lion food.

Jasmine seemed to like the Rhino's and the small alligator that never seemed to move!

It was a glorious day and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

As we set off back home, I turn up the music and sink back into the seat. The air con comes in very handy I must say! It has been a scorcher of a day. Again, the Sat Nav directs me faultlessly.

Jasmine seems to be very relaxed in her car seat and Jason's nephew wants to know where we will be taking him the next day in 'this wicked big car'

I think today has been a huge success..my dad even inquired about the price of the New Vauxhall Meriva. He must be impressed!
