My kids have some homework for school over the carnaval holidays where they have to draw a picture of an excursion they've been on during the break... so I got thinking... they've been to the Monkey Park a few times now, so we wanted to do something different... Donkey rides!!!

It was fab. The kids (aged 3 & 4) loved it. The Bloke had never even ridden a horse before either, so it was a first for him. I would highly recommend this for something different to do.

Sue was really nice. Chatted all the way round about this and that. The kids had helmets and it was 12€ per donkey... so for 3 donkeys, 36€ (as the little un sat in front of me). I suppose that might be a bit expensive for residents, however you have to take into account that there were two people (Sue and her son) leading us round and it has to make a profit... what with all the donkey food, looking after them, tackle, helmets etc. so we thought it was well worth it for a treat.

We took the kids to see the other animals (sheep, lambs, goats, ducks, horses) too... and found out from Sue that they also cater for kids birthday parties. It's only 6€ per child for a minimum of 15 kids. You bring your own food and have the party in the play area and they are on hand with the donkeys to take all the kids on short rides. We are seriously considering having Alex's 5th birthday there in March if we can get 15 mates to travel down from Chio!

All in all, a great day out. Photos attached.
