Got thoroughly soaked twice, but Rohan trousers dry fast.
They do not have two pandas, they have three; but it takes a long time for the mother to lick the baby panda into shape, so mother and baby were not at home to visitors. They have a large glass-sided room full of ring-tailed lemurs: 50% kitten, 50% monkey, 75% tail and 103% cute.
I'm in Belgrade as I type; comfortable sleeper train, except that at 2:15am Hungarian customs come on board to check you out of Hungary, and at 3am their Serbian counterparts come on board to check you into Serbia. Also the train was roughly three hours late, but this meant it got in at a nice civilised 9:15 rather than a somewhat tiresome 6:30.
To the fortress, Carruthers!
