finally saw some roos!

Yesterday Rachel and I took a little trip to Currumbin Wildlife Park. We got picked up from our apartment and took a bus with 15 other students. We honestly weren't extremely excited to go…sitting by the pool sounded like a more preferable way to spend my day. BUT we had already bought tickets and it was one of those "tourist must-dos".  So we got on the bus and I had about 3 bags of different types of snacks that I had assumed I'd eat throughout the day. Nope. Ate them all on the way there.

We got there at around 9:45am and the bus was coming back for us at 4:30pm…we knew it would be a long day and we didn't plan it out too well. Within the first hour we held a koala and got our pictures, fed the kangaroos, saw the crocodiles, pet an emu, attempted to see a Tasmanian devil…yep, we had done everything.  So we had a good 5 and a half hours to kill. We got some lunch (fish & chips!) and walked around a bit.  I saw a sign for ice cream that said $1.95…ummm STEAL!! So I order and the lady goes "$4.95 please!". They tricked me…part of the 4 had rubbed off and I never would have bought that ice cream if I had known it was $5. Oh well.

After we did the ropes course we had about 3 hours still…so we decided to go bully some kangaroos… 

Poor kangaroos…

Here are some other pictures from our day at Currumbin:

So many sleepy Koalas!

The largest roo…I think he's half horse.

There's a baby in the pouch!

Pre-ropes course (NOT fun…way too hot in those suits!!)

Hoppin along...

Overall it was a pretty fun day and I'm glad we went.  I'm sure if we didn't go we would have regretted it.

We leave for New Zealand on Friday the 29th! We planned everything out so we should do fine but I'll keep ya posted…
