Had a great day today at the Taronga Zoo. Got there around 9:30am and left around 3:45pm. Was wondering when we got into the car to head home why was l feeling so tired, well because l was walking around for 6 hours l suppose idiot!!!
Have been to a few zoo's in our time and was quite impressed with Taronga. It helped that you got constant views of Sydney Harbour (the bridge, opera house and bay). Also that you walked downhill all day so didnt feel so physically overwhelmed with the walking. The exibits were great as well. Think because we got there so early that the animals were all awake and having a feed which meant we got to see alot of them interact together.
My favorite was the gorilla's and lions. Love them and they were all awake and playing. Got some great photo's. There was a massive gorilla, male, like King Kong!! Never seen such a big one in the flesh. Gorilla's are so checkie and spins me out everytime l see them how similar their mannerisms are to humans.
Our saving grace was hiring a pram for Meg! She sat in it the whole time and didnt hear a peep from her about not wanting to walk. Charlotte also behaved so well considering all the walking we did. Not once did she winge about being tired. She also took an interest in the zoo due to the map. She crossed everything off as we saw it and navigated us around. She loved it.
Funny thing at the zoo, was at chimpanzee exhibit and Marty states loud enough for everyone to see, "there having a root". Well it was on from there, nudged him to shut up, but he didnt get the hint. All the adults were laughing and looking away in embarressment and all the kids were looking at the adults asking "what is so funny". lol Was a total crack up and gross time.
Great day out, only 3 more nights and head to Blue Mountains. Called today to double check that all the access areas are open, all good and able to enter again after the wild weather. Personally, not looking forward to getting back to the cold as Sydney has been so kind, but am looking forward to the sights there.
