Our next stop was Tiergarten, built in 1752 as a menagerie by Franz Stephan and is the oldest zoo in the world:
Once all of the wild animals were tamed (most of those belonged to the Nelson family I should add) we saw our holiday draw to an end, and what a week it was!
To our dear friends the Allans, what a fun time exploring this part of the world with you, and here's to planning for the next adventure . . .
