The Zoo

The zoo was great!
I would highly recommend it to anyone. Because we stayed at the zoo they have a set itinerary for you to follow that includes 3 behind the scenes safaris. Unfortunately, we missed the first one because of the stupid train, (I'll tell you about that one later!), but we managed to catch the last 2. There was one after dinner, which was also included in the price, where we went to the lions wolves, hippos and a wombat. We fed all of them, and of course because it was night time they were very active. It was great. Before brekky the next morning we went to see a black rhino, a Bongo, which is a kind of antelope, the elephant and gibbons. They were all great fun too, my particular favourite from the morning group was feeding the rhino. He was very cute.
We were left a full day then to explore the zoo on our own. Unfortunately, mostly due to lack of sleep, I wasn't in my greatest form, so we had to do the drive around zoo experience rather than taking our time either walking or on bikes. It meant an afternoon rest for us all which was greatly needed!! We did manage to see everything though so we got the whole experience.
Now the train trip!! We left Sydney 40 mins late, but on top of that lost nearly an hour on the trip. Not good with 3 youngsters and not much to entertain them on the train. All things considered they did incredibly well but I vowed we wouldn't be getting back on that train to come home. Because of it's lateness, we missed the first safari at the zoo which included visits to the tigers and meerkats. Anyone that knows me knows my favourite animnals are tigers with meerkats a close second.
We ended up hiring a car to get back, yes it cost a small fortune but was worth every cent in my opinion!!
Now, the house. By the time we rang up to make our offer, it had already sold. Do you believe that. We were terribly disappointed but obviously, it wasn't meant to be. Instead we are now pursuing the Castle Hill house. We put in an offer yesterday but haven't heard anything back at this stage. I expect that we should have an agreed price by the end of the day.
Today is quite a big day.....we are about to go and pick up the camper trailer. How exciting!!! Can't wait.
Then this afternoon I have an appointment with my oncologist so we can reassess what to do about the b-raf thing. I think they should be able to put me forward again now after another set of positive scans. I will have an answer though on that one after my appointment this afternoon, so I will update you then.
I think that's everything for now so look forward to an update later.
Until then xxxx

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP.
