Nana's taking us to the zoo

Ever since Pat arrived in Sydney, she's been wanting to take Louka to the zoo. But for weeks the weather was too wet. Finally this week the weather broke and after visiting my parents on monday and Nicky and Jasmine on tuesday we made it to the zoo today.

The morning looked lovely and sunny and when we met at the Taronga Zoo ferry the sun was shining. But at the Taronga Zoo wharf it was overcast and very windy. And the day continued patchy, sometimes sunny, sometimes not, sometimes calmish and sometimes a howling gale. Never mind.

The reptiles were mostly pretty dull for Louka, not moving (except the turtles which she always loves). The koalas were asleep, but she was pleased to see them. She recognised the giraffes and zebras, the bears and the deer.



But the best of all was the tropical aviary, where you could walk through and be there with the birds. Louka was able to feed the red lory with a discarded mealworm.


After all this excitement, she fell asleep in the sling, so we headed back to the ferry and home.
