Nothing much exciting today. Had to do laundry and it was raining as well. Packed everything up and headed downtown. Had a beer at Lowenbrau and then hung out at the Three Wise Monkeys Pub for a while since the plane didn’t leave until late. Red eye to Tokyo.
Featherdale Wildlife Park
Woke up early and got on the train heading for Featherdale. Ofthe 3 different zoos this one seems like the bets value for the money based on the reviews out there. The Sydney Zoo is about twice as much and I heard you can’t pet the animals. At Featherdale we were able to pet...

Left Los Angeles around 8:30am on Friday and arrived in Sydney 7:30 pm Saturday (crossed...
