#27 Taronga Zoo (include Ferry/Cable Car) - Completed 1 NovemberWhat a day.. weather is not looking to crash hot. Mum and Dad joined me on this task as they are here on holiday. They were looking forward to seeing the baby elephant as they had watched him on TV in NZ.
We caught the train to Circular Quay then Ferry across the harbour to the Zoo. I was lucky enough to have a ticket to get in (thanks Lee!) M&D were able to get in as seniors (@ $30 each) - I have to say going to the Zoo is a costly exercise Adult ticket $43, Ferry ride $10.60 and the Train $6.40 – crazy!
Anyway back to the Zoo – we ended up doing two rounds of some of the enclosures because a lot of the animals were asleep, best part by far was the lions and tigers – WOW they are amazing creatures!! (can’t wait to go to Canberra and play with one…#3 on the list). Got some reasonably good photos through the glass. The baby elephant was just hilarious, you could go out the back and watch as they were being washed, one of the trainers was playing with him – just like any toddler really. We missed another one being born by only a couple of days.
The weather just got worse and by the time we wanted to see the seal show it had pretty much rained out! we managed to get a spot under the cover, so worth the wait the show was just hilarious – those seals really are half human I swear! We decided against seeing the bird show as we’d pretty much enjoyed over 4 hours of wondering around and had had enough of the weather by then, time for the marathon trip home – managed to get on the cable car thing back down to the ferry (at least that was free!), ferry back to Circular Quay then the train home … all in all a great day and made extra special because my parents participated in one of my tasks!
11 down, 29 to go.
