Taronga Zoo!

Another day, another great adventure. Yesterday, Sarah and I went to the Taronga Zoo in Sydney. I can’t even describe how amazing this zoo is. The following pictures do not even do it justice. The zoo is situated on the other side of the harbor from downtown Sydney, and there are spectacular views of the cityscape from various exhibits in the zoo. We saw a baby elephant, giraffes, a snow leopard, an incredible bird show, wombats, and more.

The zoo has exhibits called ‘walkabouts’ that allow you in the animals’ enclosure; it was incredible.
Because everyone told me I had to pet a kangaroo, I did it! I was also introduced to the wallaby, an animal I am now in love with. Sarah is going to post a video on Facebook of us petting the kangaroo and wallaby because apparently videos to not work on this site (or we can’t figure out how to post them). 

We also met another American at our internship orientation. His name is Allan, and he is from Virginia. Since he is here by himself, he ended up joining us at the zoo. When we returned from the zoo, we rode the ferry at dusk, and the views of the city were indescribable.

Today we are heading to Manly Beach. This beach is reached by a 30 minute ferry ride that is supposed to have the most incredible views of the harbor imaginable. We can’t wait!
