raining, raining, raining...
eilan, 11:23h
for 2 days now it's been raining cats and dogs - doing great damage to my tan plans ;-)
yesterday I tried to stroll around in the city but after two hours I was completely soaked. the evening was great though, we had dinner with 2 freinds of our hosts, Tony and Carrie at the "Hairy Canary" funny name but great food! The two of them have really been great fun to talk to. afterwrads we went to an australian pub to play billard - I was really good, didn't believe it myself at first. last time I played was years ago - do you remember, dear flatmate, us being in malta...? - but actually my skills came back to me in an instant ;-)
today I was more prepared for the f***ing weather and so we went to to Taronga Zoo - fabulous, absolutely fabulous!!! Going there by ferry we got soaked viewing the sydney harbour, but that didn't matter for we finally saw kangaroos in the zoo!!! They really are strange animals, strange but in a positive way - I couldn't get enough of them jumping around, not to be compared with any animal I've ever seen before. I also experienced something else, which I had on my "I did it" list on the "I wanna do it" section, but you have to find out for yourself.... To vistit the zoo is an absolute must if you ever come to sydney, I've never watched animals that close before - and every kind of them, especially the chimps and the gorillas have been amazing to see. ya, great day and we really walked our legs off....
