Vacation

Not too far from Wisconsin Dells we found this most spectacular sculpture park, free to visit (though I purchased stuff to contribute); so much to see and I’m sure if we visited again we’d see lots we missed the first time!

We’ve headed north to cooler weather and to visit the area around Lake Michigan; our first stop is Wisconsin Dells where we stayed in a nice riverside hotel, and took a boat tour – including a lovely walk through Witches Gulch … Wisconsin Dells is heavily touristy (half the businesses seemed to be water parks!) but we managed to avoid the busiest areas.

We had such a fun time at this zoo and drive through wildlife park where it’s allowed – encouraged! – to feed the animals!

First we explored the walk-through zoo area; it’s only ok to feed hoofed animals here, and there were only a few that were interested, but it nice to see the sloth, giraffe and goats …

Then we switched to driving through the Safari area – here it’s ok to feed any animal that comes up to the car windows and WOW did we do that a lot! Camel, Zebra, Buffalo, Ostrich and more – absolute fun and hilarity, we had to drive round again and were very pleased to have purchased four feed containers so we didn’t run out! This is a must do event (though the buffalo got a bit keen to rub against my car, no damage but maybe someone would be less lucky another day) …
