Zoo du Bassin d'Arcachon

The animals were very good because there were some I've never seen before, like the Okapis and Giant Anteaters and even a red squirrel - although that one wasn't an exhibit, it was a wild one and we were very excited to spot it.

We also went on a safari which drove through the habitats of rhinos, ostriches, some weird cow things I don't know what they're called and hippos. I didn't like walking through the bits with the massive birds, because I don't like massive birds. They had big beaks and looked like dinosaurs.

The highlight of the trip was when we got very close to some giraffes, who were licking the fence and we also didn't even have to pay 140 euros for the experience. Daddy compared his tongue size to the giraffe's tongue.

At the end of the day, we got some ice lollies to cool us off. My favourite ice lolly is Haribo ice cream as it contains sweets in the stick. Mummy & Daddy got Soleros, which I don't like.

Little day out to the superb zoo. A round trip of around 30 miles – great efficiency – around 4.9 m/kwh.

Also the great benefit to owning an EV, is the capability of cooling the car down via the app, so after our hot little walk around, you can get into a nice cool car and it hardly uses any energy to do it.Read more
