Australia Vacation -- Day 8

This morning started with two girls getting a full night's sleep! Yeah!!! That is the way a day should start. So, we started with a good breakfast before hitting the pavement toward Circular Quay. We caught the ferry and had a great view of the Opera House and Sydney Harbor Bridge on our way to the Taronga Zoo.



The zoo was great! It has separate sections -- Australian, African, and Asian, as well as a "backyard bush" critters (sheep, goats, turkey, pigs) -- and was laid out well. We saw elephants, giraffes, koalas, mountain goats, snakes, red pandas, a komoto dragon, and much more. Yet, what was Olivia's favorite thing? Feeding the sheep. Next year's vacation: a farm in the midwest!

Below is a shot from our apartment. The morning and sunset views are quite nice! The girls enjoy going out on the balcony and seeing the city. It has been a bit chilly (compared to Guam), but it isn't too bad.
