We’re continuing to have a whale of a time in Fuerteventura. On Sunday we went with Les to the island zoo at Oasis Park.
We were very impressed with the animal welfare and visitor interaction.
Mixing with so many of the residents it felt a bit like “Dr Doolittle”- some of them came over for a chat!
Doug didn’t much like the macaws and parrots flying loose around our heads …………
……… but, on the other hand, James was eager to volunteer to hold a reticulated python. First though, he was asked to do the Macarena (something he hates) to entertain the crowd! 
There were some fellows that we weren’t allowed to mix with ……..
…….. and others we were.
At 6ft 4in. James doesn’t have to look up to very much in life but this magnificent animal was certainly one to admire.
Part of the huge area which the zoo covers is set over to Botanical gardens.
There were hundreds of crocs and alligators – we even saw some eggs in the sand. 
Of course, there has to be one!
Well, after a very good day at the zoo with Les, and a coach ride back to Caleta de Fuste, we met up with Bill and Eileen for a Chinese meal and (of course) serenaded by the owners son – a very talented young man.
