zoo day

It was really dark when I woke up and looked out the window – overcast. The morning briefing just confirmed that the situation is not really going to improve in the afternoon. Let’s go to the zoo then! Sometimes it is really good to get one of these days when you can be completely sure it will not get better and you’ll not regret that you didn’t go fly. The Dubbo Zoo is a really famous place and only 30km drive from Narromine. The place is just huge and has no cages at all. This is a drive in zoo located on an enormous area and designed the way that gives you the feeling being among the animals. You don’t see the grooves that separate you from the animals when sitting in the car.
The fun started at the entrance. The prices are pretty high – A$ 45 per adult. There were 5 of us in the car – Ziggy and myself in the front and Dan, Dennis and Michael in the back. We just said to the lady at the entrance that there is two of us and 3 kids in the back. She believed that and sold us a family ticket – A$ 125 ;). That’s how I became mommy of 3 kids …the youngest one was 10 years junger than me. The zoo was an experience even though I didn’t get to hugging a Koala Bear. We’ve been witnessing a sexual act between two giant turtles and after that a fight between three males wanting the same from that poor female turtle. Everybody was impressed.

Another amazing experience were the singing monkeys giving a show. I’ve never seen it before and would never say monkeys can perform that well.


the cutest thing ever

At any rate it was a really nice day finished with the German Night organized by “our kids”. They cooked Bratkartoffeln, Wurst und Sauerkraut for us. Sweet …
