Zoo

Today I saw kangaroos and koalas! We decided to go Taronga zoo, which can only be reached by ferry. This ferry boat brought us a magnificent view over de harbour bridge and a lovely breeze. My mood became even better when I received a call from a landlord I had left a message the day before, saying we could call anytime to come check out the place, which we will do tomorrow.

Once we arrived there we felt like little kids in jungle paradise. We started off with the penguins, and when we walked further we met three care takers, taking one of the penguins for a walk! There were many koala bears, who indeed looked stoned (they become so because of what they eat), Tasmanian devils and all sorts of monkeys. There was also an Australian walk-about, in which you would walk a trail between kangaroos, walibis and more. There were no fences, so we actually got to pet them.


We saw tiny little mice and frogs and enormous komodo dragons and Pythons. The giraffes were naturally present, but also a little baby elephant and a three-legged fisher cat. One of the most impressive animals still is the snow leopard. The way that animal walks like a royal and looks at you as if you are nothing but an unworthy lowlife. All in all it was an amazing day, but also very tiring as the entire zoo is on a hill, but worth it every bit of muscle ache.
