Hi Gill
I'm on the same trip as Sally, 10 November. Have a super time - bet you are almost counting the minutes now! Do let us know how you get on - any hints and tips or insider information would be good - especially clothing and footwear - understand there is wifi at the lodge!!!!!! Actually patted 3 polar bears today - they were in the garden centre along with a penguin, several deer, a fat badger and 2 singing squirrels, acting as supporting acts for Father Christmas. Can't believe I am off to see the real thing! (Bears not FC!)
