So today is day 9 which is Thursday 04 February. Thought I’d clarify that as I think you’re all still in Wednesday.

Well today it’s raining! So best laid plans need to be changed!

Ps. Forgot to say. Say hello to Romeo. My second encounter with a family dog.

Decision made. .. I’m off to the zoo.

Back later x

So. . I’ve had a lovely day today at…

Where I met. ..

Okay well this is the sign for the Duck Billed Platypus. .. the actual photo I took isn’t very good (they are nocturnal creatures and their tank is in the dark)

Meet the 3 wise monkeys (plus baby)

Now this elephant is an Asian elephant and his keeper speaks to him in Thai! so the guide tells me. I said are you serious! Yep she was.

Meet Taz the Tasmanian Devil

and the cartoon version for those old enough to remember him!

Had to go into Sydney Harbour to get back to Manly and saw the cruise ship holed up there with the gastro outbreak 😕

Harbour Bridge and opera house from the ferry.

I’ve remembered some more things that I’ve learnt whilst being in Australia aside from speaking to elephants in their native language!

1. When your cousin’s wife asks you if you’ve got your thongs, she’s not asking you if you’ve got your knickers, she’s asking if you’ve got your flip flops! Fortunately I picked this up earlier in the day so didn’t embarrass myself when she asked me later on. Ha
2. Western Australia is the only state in which it’s not illegal to hold a koala! Remember that it may come up on Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Ha
