You purchase your tokens from the supermarket next door (yes all this is on the 8th floor of the hotel). Whilst waiting for our laundry we sat in the games room, where we could have played snooker or table football, but we have computer things to catch up on and there is always something to watch from a the window on the 8th floor.<\/p>\n<p>Laundry sorted and we set off for the Butterfly farm. \u00a0This was easy to find as we had passed it the day before on the way to Bird World. We caught the Hop on Hop off bus as we still had a couple of hours left on our ticket. \u00a0This was the long way to go but at least we got to see the city from the top of an open air bus.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1244\" src=\"http:\/\/www.taylortrip.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/A3D691C0-7EF6-491B-9539-BB401F560F8E-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"A3D691C0-7EF6-491B-9539-BB401F560F8E\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taylortrip.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/A3D691C0-7EF6-491B-9539-BB401F560F8E-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.taylortrip.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/A3D691C0-7EF6-491B-9539-BB401F560F8E-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.taylortrip.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/A3D691C0-7EF6-491B-9539-BB401F560F8E.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The entry fee to the Butterfly Farm is 44 mr.
