What a day it has been!! Started the day off with breakfast on the airplane about 5:30 a.m. Australian time, 2:30 pm ks time. I was able to get quite a bit of sleep on the plane which was a blessings since we were in flight for 15ish hours. Once arriving in Australia we were pleasantly met by our checked luggage and waited in line for customs. It would have been much easier if I didn't live on a farm. O well, they didn't deport me abut along with a few others i got a visit from a cute beagle sniffer outer dog :)
Upon leaving the airport, we met up with our tour guide and began our adventure. First stop, McDonald's!! I think I have had numerous mini heart attacks while in our tour bus as cars cars drive on the opposite side of the road here. Keep left signs are definitely new for a kansas girl. The scenery is absolutely beautiful here with mountains, autumn leaves, green pastures and blue skies. There are also a lot of vineyards and wineries.
Healesville sanctuary was a very neat experience. Got to be close and personal with a kangaroo and a koala ( not koala bear as it offends them haha, they aren't bears because they are marsupials.) A few of the other fascinating animals were the dingo, platypus, and Tasmanian devil. Be proud, I even walked through the snake exhibit that housed Australia's top ten deadliest snakes!
Tonight's dinner was adventurous calamari and veal!
Until tomorrow mates!!
