Troll Trek, Series 1 Episode 7: Going to the Dogs.

We awoke this morning parked next to 'the House of the Wolves' (La Maison des Loups). 

Me? I'd had a good night and felt up to an entire hour of being out with the kids. "Oh good" I thought, "a small park with a couple of wolves. This shouldn't take long..."

Uh, no. 

This park is large and really well run with lots of activities for all ages.

So we spent the entire day in it. 😵‍💫

So much for a quiet peaceful relaxing day...

Sleeping close to nature is good for the soul and brings peace into your heart.

Unless you're a kid. Then it seems to fill you with extreme, constant, indefatigable  energy. Who needs wind turbines? Kids could power the world.

The wildlings ran ahead, we attempted to follow. This 'Wolf House' is big. A large forested area with a close to natural habitat for several species of wolves. 

Erm, like these three for instance...

Yes. This was going to be another day (contrary to my doctors advise) of stressed limbs, fatigue and compromised circulatory systems.

Annick took the easy way...

The kids, meanwhile, were panning for wolves.

Found some! Erm, I'm not convinced that these are real wolves, at least one of them is a unicorn.

Uh oh. Here they are..

And a smaller version...

By lunchtime, having walked halfway around the planet, we thought it about time to hit another restaurant. This one selling wolf burgers.

Cheers!

There was still much to see, so after recharging our aging batteries, we were dragged back into the park to feed the wolves.

Feeding wolves is quite entertaining, even when it involves your grandchildren.

Annick discovers that wolves are less painful than kneeling down...

It is surprising how close you can get to a wolf without serious damage. I never found that with most of the women I've known...

Kindred spirits...

There were even some alternative colour variations for those few remaining fans of Brexit...

It has been a long entertaining, educational, exhausting day. We finally arrived at that moment when the kids go to bed.

Ah no. 

Thus is life...

Thankfully, all human behaviour is reflected in nature.

We are but another species of pack animal.

Good night...
