Beach, Zoo and Navy Pier

Off by bus (we are getting good at this bus riding!) up the Magnificent Mile and beyond to Lincoln Park.

Left tower - Hancock 360 Centre - Trump and far right  -Willis Sky Deck

 Then across the 8 lane highway - on a bridge - to the beach

Which at this time of year is a bit bleak!

and again good views of the city and city beach

Back across the bridge

and through Lincoln Park to the Zoo

 This has to be Lincoln!

The Zoo is free and was a good visit and excellent value! Like the Aquarium we felt most of the enclosures were too small!

As it was lunch time we had yet another fast snack before heading back for a much needed cuppa and siesta

So just around the corner from the Hotel to catch a bus to Navy Pier - the most visited tourist attraction in Chicago. It was a former Naval Pier.

We thought there would be rides - there were three!

$7 for an ice cream - plus tax!

There were views back to the City

So back to the bus station for our bus back to our hotel. It was a nice walk in the sun with good views but we wondered why it was the top tourist attraction!
