Today is a beautiful sunny day and a nice change from the windy weather we had for the last two days.
We are excited to go on the tour today and see the Irwin zoo and get photos with a koala.
Our tour leaves at 9 am so we went to the meeting point at 8:45am. Our guide told us to make sure to see the show at the Crocoseum at noon.
We headed into the zoo and made tracks to the koala photo booth and bought our tickets for the 12:30 appearance.
There was a large enclosed park like area with kangaroos and wallabies which were tame enough to get close and pose for photos with them[ very cool.
We then went to sit in the Crocoseum to see the show which only lasted about 25 mins and featured some birds, a croc, and some other wildlife- not very impressive compared to shows we have seen in the US.
We got in line for the koala photo next and we found out it was ok for people in line to take photos which was a nice surprise. I handed my iphone to the man behind me in line and asked him to take photos of us with the koala and he did and the photos turned out really nice.
This was another highlight of our trip!!
Since we only had 30 mins. left to meet the bus we just walked around and went to the gift shop planning to have lunch on the ship.
At 1:30 we boarded the bus for the trip back and got back on board at 2:45. We were famished so we headed up to the buffet for lunch.
Tonight was the last formal night so we dressed in elegant casual for dinner which featured lobster as the main and baked alaska for dessert. Dinner was great.
Tomorrow is a sea day.
