As already anticipated in the Internet, waiting for us once again a cloudy day, but it was above 20 ° C heat quite well. Went directly after breakfast it equal time in the city, which had also opened on Sunday all the shops more than 12 hours.
Miriam had tried the night before yet the red dancing dress that night we had bought for lunch in a small boutique. We found the dress so much, we jump on this morning shot in the store to the same fringe dress in to buy black and also two matching bolero jacket in the respective colors, so that we have the clothes can now be used for a formation . It sure sounds good, too, if we can tell before a performance, that we have flown in from Sydney especially the costumes ;-)
our new budget store is Woolworths and where we purchased the same few toiletries (we found this a really great Dove deodorant, it sure is now in Germany, but the main thing, we always have a supply of it) and a watch for Miriam.
During our shopping trip yesterday had only Mirjam found something, so we went today to look for a blouse for Beate they can attract New Year's Eve. But it went to the Myer department store, we also wanted to sift through absolutely still. After 10,000 steps and 200 felt ransacked coat stands Beate has finally been lucky and very happy we were on our way to the checkout.
There were only a few steps up to the hotel where we unloaded our new achievements, and then we walk on the way to the Sydney Wildlife World in Darling Harbour made. We got the same time a huge shock when we saw are the long lines in front of the aquarium next to the Wildlife Park. Thank God it was before the "World Wildlife" is not quite so full and so we got into it rather quickly.
Because our nice concierge David had given us two coupons for a koala photo, we shot right at all times by people on the koala enclosure. We could not really believe that we would get the photos for free, because the recordings were usually 20 AUS $ cost per picture, but we put time in the queue in front of the enclosure. As we take pictures
had to have time enough, the cute koalas from all sides. Particularly struck us was the little Fynn, who just turned 1 year old and well on his road climbed around.
The older gentlemen Koala sleeping in front of him, but they were soon merrily, for there was the second time that day fresh eucalyptus leaves to eat. Since we had a lot of luck, because the koala sleeps 20 hours a day and eat the remaining four hours he spends. The Koala is one not one of the bears, but to the marsupials. It is closely related to the Wombat and carries the bag on his back.
Soon we were allowed into the enclosure and each of us had to take pictures with Fynn, who did not keep you from eating. The photos were printed out for us and we did not believe it still, but we were actually free.
happy and satisfied with our photos in the hands we marched on to the kangaroos, we for the first time here in Australia saw alive (well, more or less alive, for they were rather lazy around in the area).
The big red kangaroo is the largest in Australia, jumping more than 9 meters and up to 50 km / h fast.
On our way through the warren of the Wildlife Park we met animals like
Bilbies
(in German bilby - a nearly extinct species, it Now today as Easter substitute in chocolate. The gestation period of Bilbies is only 14 days, then the boy 80 days in mother's pouch.)
Wombats
(one of the marsupials and, despite its compact body structure up to 40 km / h fast. They are but no flight animals but clog disappear at risk in their building and the entrance to her tight ass, that is so packed with cartilage and muscles that no attacker will get at them)
wallabies
(belonging to the family of kangaroos)
a Cassowary (helmet-cassowary)
(He is the second largest bird in the world and stands as the most dangerous bird in the world in the Guinness Book of Records, because he has attacked people displaced by the passage of the powerful legs died)
a Kookaburra (Laughing Jack)
has (its name from its unusual vocals)
various Gekko and other lizards ,
crocodiles
(The largest specimen that we saw in the park, was 5.5 meters long and 700 kg.)
toxic snakes (including the two most poisonous snake species in the world) and spiders and scorpions , ants, grasshoppers , butterflies,
bats; -)
and a "giant rhinoceros cockroach " (the largest cockroach in the world).
We were absolutely thrilled with this particular animal life that exist only in Australia. Above all, the great marsupials have inspired us.
went after a few hours in this wonderful park back to the hotel and on the way home we made a detour into the underworld of Sydney, namely the second basement of the department store Myer, where there are huge food temple that meet every taste.
We took some snacks with you overnight, and soon after it was already time for our evening cocktail in the lounge.
Back in the room we were able to build for the first time a Skype conference with parents, brother, niece and uncle of Beatrice and since has been cheerfully chatted with each other. At a late hour, we have put together the daily report and then were glad when we were tired at midnight visit our bed.
