Saturday 5th - Sunday 6th April
I decided to make the most of the weather and head out on the ferry to Taronga Zoo on Saturday. The zoo is in a fantastic position, with views right across the Sydney harbour. When you arrive you are taken up to the entrance by cable car over all the animal enclosures, which is great. I spent most of the day wandering around and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't overrun by little kids. All the animals looked so happy in their spacious surroundings (especially the penguins and seals in their brand new enclosures). I am not sure what my favourites were, probably the dingoes or the meerkats, but they were all lovely.
Sunday Sam and I met with some friends from New Zealand and headed to the Botanical Gardens to watch the Red Bull Flugtag, where contestants attempted to create their very own flying machine. Needless to say the majority immediately nosedived, but it was fun to watch. Although I think everyone had the same idea as apparently there were over 50,000 people crammed into the gardens to spectate. By 2pm Sam and I had had enough and decided to treat ourselves to a spot of lunch on the harbour instead. Oh its a hard life!
