21 Mar 08 - 1st Day of Holiday - Trip to Alma Park Zoo
03.23.08 (1:00 am) [edit]Today is the 1st day of holiday (Good Friday), we're set and ready to head out to our little adventure to Alma park Zoo near Sunshine Coast. Nick rented a car, it was a Toyota Camry 2.4, we need to be at the Brisbane Transit Centre by 1000 to collect the car, when we reached there it was so crowded with people and we only managed to get our car at 1030, but it was not a Camry, it was a Nissan Latio, they ran out of Camry and had to wait 2 days in order to get us our Camry so we just had to make do with our Latio =)
Set off to Sunshine Coast, I took the day 1 drive, had planned it all out where to head etc. The journey was long and everyone took a nap while I was driving.
ALMA PARK ZOO, finally we reached our destination and spent a whole afternoon there with the animals. It was not the typical zoo we see in Singapore more like a small animal farm, there were Koalas, Wallabies, Emu, Baboons, Lemur, Ostrich, Kangaroo, Camels, and farm animals. We spent most of the time there feeding the kangaroos and then some time with the farm animals, Baobei saw some 'pigs' similar to those she had at home and she wanted to cuddle them so much but because there were like caged up there were no way we could have went in to get a touch of them.
We still had time when we left the zoo so we drove down to beach nearby and had dinner there. Baobei and I went to pick some sea shells and i hurt my finger when my foot slipped into a hole and I fell, to break my fall i actually put my left hand down and coincidentally slipped into a hole and cut my finger. It was alright just abit pain. Baobei wanted to pick more beautiful shells but we only managed to find some and only 1 Cowie shell. After dinner we head back home. I drove all the way back, close to 100Km back to Brisbane and it took me more than 1 hour.
But we did not went back, we drove to eat as Brown needed food so we went into CBD and remembered there was this Pancake shop that opens 24hrs, only after that we went back home.
Baobei and I stayed at home while Nick and Brown went to do some driving on the car around the area. It was a long day and again I made my Baobei angry even till the end of the day. =(
