Cocojack's Adventures

Arrived in Rome after a total of 26 hours of flying. We went for a walk through a large park.

Found a new motorbike for Mrs H- a scooter. Everyone has one in Rome, as it is easy to park. Or people have Smart cars and park them anywhere.

The buildings were very old, everyone lived in apartments and there were a lot of statues.

Loved the food in Italy, gelatos and pizza. Better than bananas!

We travelled by bus for 5 hours to get to Venice Island. The place is amazing it was built thousand of years ago on soft land. They put millions of tall wooden poles underneath to hold all the buildings up. The wood has now fossilised and are like concrete.   

On our way to Florence we past fields of sunflowers that they grow for the sunflower seed oil.   

Peek a boo! 

That Eiffel tower looks really high- do I really have to go up. I am scared of heights even though I am a monkey. 

Help me it’s getting too high. Please hang on tight to me! The view of Paris is amazing.

Au Revoir!

Body in Action

SPECIAL EXHIBITIONS HALL

Put your body to the test and see just how incredible it is in this highly interactive and fun exhibition. Venture through the guts, test out your aerobic capabilities or put your brain through some mental gymnastics. Body in Action will take you on an amazing journey of discovery and teach you things you didn’t even realise about your own body.

Body in Action is full of highly interactive activities for children and adults alike, and lots of amazing information on the way our bodies work for us. Just how much our bodies do, how hard they work, how fast they grow and how amazing all of our bodies are, will be explored through hands-on activities and amazing facts.
