Friday in Sydney

We got the obligatory photo with the Koala in yesterday at the Taronga Zoo yesterday. It was a fun ride over there on one of the Sydney Ferries, although it was a bit crowded with school children and japanese tourists. Our Koala was had its batteries worn out with all the prior tourists, so the photos (still to come) will show a grey smelly furball in the tree, but the thought counts, right? They also had a terrific bird free-flight show where native birds would do tricks including swooping right over our heads. They had the cockatiels, the lorikeets, cranes, owls, and a native wedge eagle that went 'off script' and hung out in the trees for a while before deciding to cooperate with the trainer.

The day was cloudless again, and we both got a little sun on our faces at the zoo and on the ferries. After the zoo we had a noodle lunch and a quick nap at the hotel before going out to do some nightlife in Sydney. It was a bit slow but still fun. I think we've gotten through the jetlag now.

Today we're going to wander Chinatown and some other parts of the city, not really with a plan or anything. The city is quieter, as its weekend now. We're in a nice slow vacation pace at this point.
