Brisbane

Greetings from Brisbane!

Today was an awesome day... we got an early start and headed to the Australia Zoo, which is owned and operated by the Irwin family. Our bus driver was actually really good friends with Steve Irwin, so we got to hear some neat stories about this life, and watch a bio on him as well.

There was so much to see at the zoo. We started by watching the croc show.... crocs are pretty cool! We got to pet Koalas and Kangaroos, saw tigers, elephants, emus, dingoes, everything you can imagine. It was a lot of fun and made for a great day. The weather was also a comfortable 24 degrees which was the icing on the cake.

I really want to upload some pictures, but every computer that I try doing it on won't work. Oh well.

Tomorrow I am heading to Surfers Paradies where we meet up with a tour group that we will be with for the next 12 days. It will be nice to not have to plan anything anymore and just relax on the beautiful beaches they have down here, something we have yet to do. Tomorrow I am also getting a cell phone (hopefully) so if you want my number, you can just send me and email or facebook message if I have you on there. My email is lagroot@hotmail.com.

That is all for now! Time to go shower and curl up in bed. Another long day of traveling tomorrow. Oh.. have I mentioned how much I am beginning to dislike flying? Way too much in the last two weeks....

Cheers
