up a walking trail up the river and then back down the other side into the
park proper

larger park and well worth a visit

Ah! Now how are these two going to get
on? In actual fact they were very polite to each other and just
touched noses... the dogs I mean! :-)

I spotted another wee plaque but when going
over to take a picture these two wee monkeys got in the way so I took a
picture of them instead :-)
