7/16/12 Sydney

I woke up at 8:00. I tried to tell Dad and Jay that I wanted to take the 9:35 ferry to Taronga Zoo but they refused to get ready in time so we didn't get to Taronga Zoo until about 10:30. Then we had to wait in a long line to buy the tickets. Eventually, we walked through the first part of the zoo. We saw tree kangaroos, emus, wombats, and more.

Finally, we got to the Tasmanian Devils. We listened to the keeper talk. It was really interesting and we saw five different Devils. 

Then we walked towards the platypus exhibit. The platypus were really cute and Jay was super excited because they are his favorite animals. We also saw several other animals such as rock wallabys and birds. They were really cute. Then we had lunch. I got a BLT and shared it with Jay. We ate while watching some elephants play.

Then we saw the bear and went for the giraffe keeper talk. I got some really good pictures. After looking at some reptiles, we went to the seal show. We got really good seats. There were six or seven different seals. One of them did a back-flip and they all balanced on their front flippers. One also balanced a ball on his nose. It was really cool.

Then we saw some more really bight colored birds. We also saw a red panda, a tree cat(?), and a fishing cat. The fishing cat looked like my cat, Tofu who has a tabby coloring.  We also saw penguins. They we were the blue penguins that we saw on Phillip Island. We saw more reptiles, koalas, lions, tigers, and different monkeys. Then we left.

 For dinner, we ate at the hotel restaurant. I got goose. It was prepared three different ways and it was amazing.

We also got green beans. For dessert I got a hazelnut and chocolate cake type thing. That was also so good.
