ZOO IN THE RAIN!

What kind of idiot gets out of bed and goes to the Zoo when its pouring down rain on the Easter long weekend? Well obviously us! Normal people would have spent the day in a warm bed, watching DVD's and beening lazy in their PJ's.

My alarm clock went off at 8:30am and I pulled my curtain to see the weather on the edge of a thunderstorm. Without thinking I got out of bed and got ready. You see I've been dying to go to the Zoo for ages. I nearly got there a few times as well. Last year the bitch slapping Italiano was supposed to come with but then pulled out due to work reasons. Then Cherry decided to come with me during the xmas break when we noticed the weather turning bad so we decided to give it a miss.

Then at the start of this year, I met up with Josh to go but we ended up at the beach instead hehe So you see I was desperate to go rain, hail or shine.

Besides I was so keen to try out my new Nikon D80 SLR Camera. I rocked up to Oishii's place where we decided to do a minor stop on the way because we desperately needed coffee. We arrived at Toby's Estate in Broadway. Now my boss has been bragging about Toby's for so long and now I understand. The coffee was delicious. It was served at the right temperature - not too hot or too cold.

We arrived at the Zoo after witnessing the weather change by suburb to be standing in a queue to buy tickets while its raining on us. We stopped to question why the fuck we were here and why the hell we kept refusing to leave. We finally purchase entry tickets to storm into the first shop we saw to purchase poncho's to wear.

Then we entered the ZOO. Picture this 2 idiots holding umbrellas, wearing poncho's and trying to hold SLR camera's to take pictures. We need help.

Here is a few of the pictures I took. Of course they will improve as I learn more of the functions of the SLR camera.

Once the Zoo fuss was over and we were totally over it, we decided to do a stop over at Broadway shopping centre to buy my mum some wool. Well I brought her half the shop. I think we totalled 30 wools.

Since we were here we decided to watch Mr Bean - On Holidays. It's been a while since I watched Mr Bean but all the elements were still in the movie. It was a good movie however I think it could have been a lot funnier.
