Day Twenty Three (part 2): Snakes, Crocs & Bowling Balls


La Planete des Crocodiles is situated about 30 Km south-east of Poitiers.

First opening it’s doors to the public in early 2008, crocodile planet is set in a huge glass dome, which, from the outside is reminiscent of London’s Millenium Dome.



Once inside the 20 metre high, 5000 square metre building houses six large enclosures containing approximately 200 species of crocodiles, alligators, and caiman from five continents, along with a wide variety of exotic trees and plants.

Lush walkways connect the tanks...
Simon & Eric at the bar... where else?
We bumped into the film crew again
Feeding time for the crocs...

...And feeding time for us at the local Auberge :0)

Came across a huge ant hill, made from the needles of surrounding pine trees, on the way home.


Oh, I almost forgot Ten Pin Bowling after the crocs...


Yeh, I'm really good at this...

Final scores... Eric and Phil drew on 101 points. Who was last? Who d'you think? lol
