[back dated post] Aussie Adventure Trip Day 2

Woke up real early today cos we're going to the ZOO! haha.. its been YEARS since i last stepped into any zoos.. So we're at the Australia Zoo, home of the crocodile hunter Steve Irwin.. It feels like we're going back in time.. back to the primary school days where we had field visit to the Zoo.. haha.. walked ard, took some photos, bought some food to eat before we catch the crocodile show.. not exactly crocodile-ONLY-show lah.. haha.. there were other animals too.. after which we explored the almost-whole zoo[think we missed out some small parts], fed the kangaroos!! haha.. my first time up close with the kangaroos!

okays.. the Zoo in Aus is not like the Singapore Zoo where all the animals are locked up in the cage or enclosed in a small area, and u jus have no way to get close to the animals.. in the Aussie Zoo, the animals, thou still within an enclosed area, have real big and open space for them to run abt.. such tt their freedom is not exactly taken away.. and u can jus walk up to the kangaroos and feed all u want! of cos with the kangaroo feed tt u buy frm the zookeepers lah.. haha..

so as i was saying, its my first encounter up close with the roos and i got boxed by the first kangaroo i touched okays!! haha.. my lips was even bruised frm tt!! Indeed Kangaroos know boxing!! haha..

Continued walking, taking photos with the Koalas, sheep.. looked at the tigers, wombats, tasmanian devil, of cos crocodiles.. haha.. the zookeepers even let us in to the alligator area and took pictures with the leashed alligator! haha.. its only leashed, the mouth not tied okays!! haha.. scary.. Then went on and I even took a photo of me carrying a Koala! erm.. its those animal encounter place where u pay money and they let u carry the Koala and take picture of u.. i was thinking, since i'm all the way in Aussie land already might as well jus do it.. haha..
thou nothing really exciting happened in the zoo, we're both really tired towards the end and we slept thru the whole journey back home.. haha.. had our dinner at Surfers Hog's Breath Cafe.. Its this place that sell really nice steaks! or maybe we're really hungry tts y it tasted real nice.. haha! the steaks was nicely done.. not too 'rubbery'.. its jus very nice lah.. haha.. of cos the portion was too big and we simply couldn't finish it.. at first we tot of having Baskins & Robbins for dessert.. in the end we're too full to even walk already! [who says there's always room for dessert?] haha.. so jus headed home after tt lor.. ;)
