Woke up at 5:30, made my egg sandwich and got ready for the zoo. We boarded a little after 6am. It was a 4 hr bus ride with a halfway stop at this dumb popular “petrol station” that we ate at on the way down here initially.
I’ve been complaining about going to the zoo for quite some time now. It was 66 bucks for transportation and admission and I didn’t think a zoo was worth it. But The Australia (Steve Irwin) Zoo in Brisbane is quite different from the zoos at home. For example, there was this thing called Kangaroo Heaven. There were kangaroos all over, mostly eating or just laying down relaxing...and you could just walk up to them and pet them, or even cuddle with them. It was so awesome. We also got to pet koalas, saw a croc, snake and bird show… the guys would dangle a hunk of meat above the water and the croc would just sit there for a minute and then jump up and snap it hard with its jaws.
I picked up a lizard...kind of. They are really squirmy. We also saw tigers(that climbed up a tree), elephants (parading around the zoo with their trunks holding the one’s tail in front of them), endangered birds, an echidna, dingoes (look like regular dogs), the worlds most poisonous snakes (lots in Aussie!), and many more things. I hung out mostly with Angie, Tracy, Mike, Courtney Angie G, and Mary. Everyone took a ton of pictures (except for me.. who has lost my camera.) I’m hoping I left it on the bus on Monday…they are supposed to be looking for it soon. I really, really hope its there. I love my camera and the awesome pictures I take with it! We were at the zoo for 7 hrs.. and while we didn’t really run out of things to do, after buying a few souvenirs I was definitely ready to go.
I fell asleep on the ride home—until I was awoken because we were at the same rinky-dink eating place for the 3rd time. I tried a meat pie…because my church singing friends told me I had to. Very popular Aussie food. I wasn’t too fond of it. Then another 2 hrs on the bus. Long day. Tomorrow I sing at church.
