Kiwis and the like at the zoo

Today, I wanted to go to the Zoo. But first, I stopped by The Warehouse to get a pedometer *haha*. Jess has one, and it sounded kinda fun. Mine is really cute! It has two buttons, and I can check how many steps I walked, how many miles and kilometers that is, and how many calories I burned. Well, I don't know how accurate these last values are, but the steps thing is good for starters.

I got a greek salad "for take away" for lunch.



Then I went to the Skytower, because there is an i-Site information center. Too bad, but their internet didn't work (otherwise I would've checked email, etc) but they did give me information about the bus that goes to the zoo. I was a little nervous, but I managed to get on the right bus, pay the right amount of money ($3.20 for "two stages") and even got off at the right stop!

Two Korean girls also got off at the same stop. They were really nice and we decided to walk through the zoo together.

There were lots of cool animals, starting with the giraffes and an ostrich that had ostrich eggs. We also saw sealions, penguins, a tiger feeding, wallabies, meerkats, and of course the kiwi birds.



The kiwi birds are kept in the dark, because they are actually nocturnal birds. But as soon as my eyes adjusted to the dark room, I could see them roam about in their little cage. They are absolutely adorable! No pictures, though, because the flash would scare the birds :(
