easter time we decided to spend in tirol with ninsti's family. so while eating, eating, drinking, eating, searching easter presents, eating, eating, and a little bit of eating, it was finally time for a little walking. so we drove to the nearby reintaler lake, did one lap, and agreed that this is enough of phyical training. although the days before it had just snowed quite a bit, there were flowers and blossoms here and there. great atmosphere, almost like in autumn.

there was an article online about the new enclosures for the absolutely cute nude mole rat in the desert house in schoenbrunn, right next to the zoo. since you get admission discount with an annual season ticket for the zoo, it was a good opportunity to renew our zoo card for schoenbrunn. the price is pretty ok, considering we are to the zoo quite often. so i enjoyed watching the nude mole rats[052-054] (and it is pretty hard to get unblurred pictures, since it's pretty dark in the tunnel their enclosure is located in). and although nina didn't think they are cute before seeing them in real life, she then decided that they actually are really cute. also fun were those fishes[035-051] that nibble your dead skin. furthermore there were some reptiles[001-005,008], cacti[009-010,018-028], and also birds[013,015-017]. afterwards we thought why not go the zoo as we have our new season ticket, and there was still a little time left until the zoo closes. so we focused on the big cats, like cheetahs[055-065], panthers[066-085], and tigers[086-110]. today we were lucky, as most of them chose a good place to see them and take pictures. cute kitties!
