We went to the Auckland Zoo. What a great place even in the rain!
We left sunny Northland feeling well and happy and as we hit Auckland after about 2 hours drive and Ara had only had 15mins sleep...Dave and I both had a bit of a sore throat. But we enjoyed our day. I was happy seeing the big cats right up close. Great enclosures now!
And of course the Landscaping is just wonderful!
Sue and Ethan joined us and about 15mins into looking at the Pink flamingos Katie caught up too. Ara was very impressed with the large corrugated elephant at the entrance and we got a big Ooohhh for that...then most of the time her eyes were just about popping out of her head. She loved the Mearcat tunnels but Dave said that most people were looking at Ara and himself as the cats were outside in a different area.
We then went on to Katie and Deans place to have a better catch up and share and apple...thanks Katie for letting Ara. We also caught up with Alex which then meet up again at Elly and Gothams place for a curry. Great place with a lovely view of a paddock of horses...not what you expect in central Auckland.
