Visiting Basel Town

It was great Saturday we had. We visited the one major city of Switzerland named Basel town but first we visited the zoological garden, which is considered one of the best zoos in the world. The zoos contained 4000 animals and around 6000 species. We enjoyed looking the biggest gorillas that we have seen there are funny Urang Utan and many more funny monkeys and great lions, Elephants, Kangaroos etc.

hello,
I am just back from Switzerland! Thanks to your blog, I've visited Blausee (pictures are uploaded at jessicayusdi.blogspot.com). It's a beautiful country though a bit expensive (even shock a UK's dwellers like me).
Keep on good work, will look out another nice place to visit!
