Day 172 - Breaking News: Record High Temperatures Make Animals Disappear


Our first stop of the day was back in Atlanta City where we went to do the hour long CNN tour. This tour took us through the inner workings of the world’s biggest news network and we also got to watch some of the live broadcast from outside the windows of the main studio. We learnt a lot about the intricacies of news and were shocked at how many members of staff are involved in the running of this network.




We then moved onto the zoo as we thought we’d get our money’s worth from the City Passes. This turned out to be a very brief trip and was rather lacking in the amount of animals that could be viewed. This was due to the record temperatures as predicted by the weather teams yesterday; all the animals had the right idea and were either hidden inside or just lounging in the shaded areas of their enclosures. You know it’s hot when the animals from Africa can’t take the heat anymore. We’d pretty much seen all of the animals before anyway but thought we’d check it out nonetheless as we were in town.





Back at the motel we escaped to the air-conditioned room to lounge around and plan some more of our upcoming accommodation stops.
