Melbourne Trip: Part 6 Animals
Oct. 4th, 2011 08:49 pmI have a lot of photos here. So I stopped to think about why I'm putting them up. It's certainly not to impress you with my really cool photos of wild animals, although I rather like the elephant photos, and the lion one, but overall, you know... Then I remembered: so we can remember what we did when we visited there! (Also, because you can't have too many photos of cats, even wild ones.)
Day 2, Zoo
The first thing was to do was to prioritise the exhibits. What did we each what to particularly see? That was easy:
Penguins, seals, tigers and elephants.
"And the butterfly house."
"Of course. And they have a good orangutan display."
*consult map* The seals and penguins are on the same "island", and one of the loop paths goes past the tigers, the butterflies, the elephants and the orangutans. So ...
"Let's go there and then there, and then the big cats afterwards."
"And then the free flight aviary if we feel up to it."
"And the platypus."
(And after walking past the reptile house.) "The crocodiles too, but they're on the way out."
And that's what we did.
Sort of.
