Taronga Zoo

• Yesterday was a really fun day :) Went to the Taronga Zoo with Alexandra were we played tourists with camera all day long. Had great fun trying to find out which of our friends resembled each of the animals we saw. :) If you find any good matches, write a comment;)
• We saw lizard keeper talk, elephant playtime and the seal show. Cant choose which was more fun. The baby elephant running after a football between the big elephants trying to be serious doing their tricks, or the cute seals showing off for the audience :)
• Suddenly we found ourselves not being able to leave the gorilla display. They were so incredibly fascinating to watch! Its probably cause the resemblance to ourself is so big. Hehe.. It was just like watching a normal human family hanging out. They were all hanging inside in the shadows. Big papa sitting in the corner, eyes closed but keeping sure that nobody was doing any tricks. Baby gorillas running all over the place playing. One trying to seek the attention of a grownup sleeping, one hanging around the neck of his mum, and one just swirling round and round and round. This was clearly the gay one... The rest of the grown ups were just trying to find a comfortable sitting or lying position in the heat.
• When we finally did manage to leave our relatives, we had a look at the koala bears. I want one of them! Too cute! They were all hanging in the trees, sleeping, shifting their position every now and then. Had to buy a mini stuffed koalabear and a koalanecklace in the zooshop before leaving. When is the next time I go to Australia anyways? ;)
• Since my shoulders had started turning slightly red, and the zoo was about to close, we took the ferry back to Sydney, bought a Starbucks frappucino and headed back to Manly. Just in time for the sun to disappear and a thunderstorm to come! Rained like crazy last night, but back to crazy warm today!
