Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did.
So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. --- Mark Twain

In conclusion we can say that it is a decent small zoo, green and shadowy, and it takes about a couple of hours to have a good overview.
