On Friday Paul and I spent the day at the Taranga Zoo. The zoo is a 15 minute ferry ride across the harbour from downtown Sydney. As a result we had amazing views of Sydney at nearly all times. It also means the zoo is a popular destination for Sydney-area school field trips! So, Paul and I, several retired couples and a dozen bus loads of small children enjoyed the zoo on Friday - and we all had lots of fun! The zoo is very well laid out (no multi-kilometre hikes between exhibits - sorry Toronto!) and there were lots of interesting animals to see. Here are a few of my favourite photos from the day:
Yesterday, we woke up at 4 am (!) to watch the sunrise at Bondi Beach. As we were starting our day, most of our fellow bus riders were heading home. But as Shortty would say, we're well into the phase of our lives when we'd rather wake up, than go to bed, at four in the morning! So, despite the obvious and expected discomfort of waking up before the city, it was a worthy excursion. The weather co-operated nicely and we had the pleasure of witnessing a beautiful sunrise. Jenn
