my own photo of zoo view

Wednesday 18th Jan. Leisurely morning waking up then went into Mosman and headed for Toronga Zoo. Was able to catch the bus which for me is quite an achievement as in England I always seem to miss them. A neighbour had lent me their guest pass which meant I got in for free rather than paying the $44. The Zoo looks out onto the harbour and has a spectacular view (see pic.) My main priority was to see the Koalas who were soooo cute, wrapped around trees sleeping. In the flesh they seem more podgy and remind me of old men. I then saw kangaroos in an open enclosure and there were lovely little babies so got some good pictures. There were also other australian animals like quokkas, platypuses, emus, wombats. Also saw a tasmanian devil (see pic) which was cool because I had no idea what they looked like. There were then the usual animals like bears, snow leopards, tigers, lions, elephants. Its been really hot here today, I think it was 28 degrees which for me is almost too hot. Have booked my bridge climb for tomorrow, wish me luck!
