While Anne was in Germany for an EU project meeting Mia was off with a friend to the first day opening of the local theme park to try out their new attraction. She reported that it wasn’t very scary but we later found out that it wasn’t running at full speed yet. Meanwhile Tony and Gwen went to the Scandinavian animal park where the new attraction is a collection of polar bears (rescued from various unsuitable zoos and exhibiting some nervous behaviour). The polar bears have 600 tons of ice made for them daily but here they are just frolicking in the water. Gwen thinks the park ought to get some lynxes next and had a chance to tell the owner this as he was around. He told her it was on his list but he has to wait until suitable individuals turn up as they don’t take any of their animals from the wild.
