Sydney 20080504~07 Part 2: Aibaless zoo and Arashisparkly harbour

On the previous day we saw this spunky sky cable while our speedy cruise pulled up at the Toronga Zoo and wanted to go ride that sky cable (yeah, zoo was secondary; our main aim was only to ride on that thing which is inside the zoo lols). So on this day, 2008-05-06 we bought the zoo express and went on to the cruise again heading to the sky cable, I mean the zoo.....

ALAS! The sky cable was unavailable from the ferri partform that day T_T
Oh well, so we went on foot visiting the zoo then.
It's a really spunky zoo with the best view in the world!
So I guess the animals are having a good life in this zoo albeit I always feel sorry for them cooped up in "big cages" whenever I visit zoo.
Anyway, the most exciting moments for me were seeing the tiger, lion, fishing cat...<- big cats fan xD
I wasn't able to take a good picture of the fishing cat since its movement's so quick and illusive!
Another excited moment was the RED PANDA <333 again, it's so hyper and moving so quickly I couldn't take a good picture of it... the red panda reminded me of Ohchan on stage, so cute and so quick *_*
The little pointy eared foxes were so cute too but I felt so sorry for them running around in the cage...
oh I liked the meercats too... um.. cats xD
and I liked the seal and penguins gliding and flying in the deep ohchan blue water~

After the zoo trip, the sky's gone cloudy again (in a nice sort of way) so we head back to circular quay looking for a fine fine restaurant, it was nearly 4pm then and we're starving by that stage (we skipped lunch since we're talking to the animals...)... we went to this italian/seafood kind of restaurant by the bay.. top notched food and the best coffee *_* Anyway, letting the photos do the talking again:

Oh the last photo there was the strands (classic shops building) in the city center, but as you can see, they're closing for the day.. it's Tuesday evening afterall lols. Btw I was being clumsy then and sprained my ankle at a step D:
"luckily" we've already done most of the walkings of our trip by that time.

Next, Wendesday 2008-05-07, last day. We only had the morning for last minute exploration (or shopping for my hubby lols) so we took the monorail to the harbour park again and enjoyed breakfast (ham+mushroom+tomato omelette yum~) looking at the nice harbour view.. again, it's Ohchan sky Ohchan sea, so blue so beautiful so calm so sparkly <3
After that we took back the monorail and stopped at city center since we wanted to go to the strands, my hubby's managed to buy a pair of shoes there and when he's happy I'm happy =)
Also took a photo of the observation tower there since we had no time for that.. oh well next time.
Then we made our way to the airport, see you again, Sydney!
