I move like Jagger

I just do

Zoo time!

Stunning day today. And we saw giraffes. Yay!

Sis and I could have stayed there for a day. They're my favourite animal, period.

Mum did the driving. Honest to gods, that was nearly as scary as yesterday's flight-of-terror.

Posing.

Monkeying

Running

And... playing with roos! They're the best.

I don't know that the feeling is mutual, though


Ella approved.

We had lunch. And a nap. It was nice.

En route pour Dubbo

So here we are, stuck in a tin can and bored thoughtless. We are on our way to Dubbo, supposedly to visit the great zoo up there.

We picked the bumpiest day of the year for this. I kid you not, we're seeing 120km/h headwinds today, which isn't great in a plane that droops along at 300km/h.

I'm sleeping this off

Ella is snacking, as usual

Mum and dad are obviously enjoying this. Go figure.

Anyway. Ella and I are really, really glad we survived this flight. Hugs all around!

Friend -

We're back in New Zealand, where the temperature is an unseasonal 20 degrees. We came over on Wednesday and have been catching up with friends since. 

Today was zoo time. Here are a few pictures of another great adventure. I'll try to post more regularly - I have so many things on the boil at the moment (and pre-school coming up in 10 days!!).

These big birds are seriously threatening. But thankfully slow.

Ella was pretty scared, but not enough to stop posing.

Fascinating stuff. Though I can't remember what I was looking at then. Something striking, I'm sure.

Monkeys. In the enclosure, I mean.

Fierce creatures

Ella got a good lick. Yuk

All in all an exhausting affair

Good ol' Auckland
