Its a pretty awesome place. We had to get up early, cos San Diego is a 2 hour drive, but it wasn't too bad. Amber hadn't seen the sea in over a year so she was excited about that haha. The GPS we had took us over a toll road which was lame, but oh wells. We had a mini stop to take photos of the sea lol.
Anyway, we eventually got to San Diego, parked up and headed in. Amber's mum had given her a voucher for money off our tickets, so that was cool. We headed towards the kiddies area first and the reptile house. Snakes are gross, officially. Anyhu, then we wandered round the kiddies area and found a Kea! It was cool, cos I had my Kahu the Kea toy, so we got some pictures of Kahu with the real Kea! The pictures are on Emma's camera, so I just have to wait to get them, be prepared for a picture post lol. A security guard came over and we were leaning over the fence holding Kahu up to the cage etc and this guy was laughing at us and encouraging us. The real Kea totally attacked Kahu's foot and tried to pull him into the cage too. Lols.
Then we headed out and around a bit, got some lunch and decided to go on the half hour bus trip round the zoo. We saw the new baby giraffe - less than a week old! The zoo is huuuuuuuuge! We saw some cool things, gorillas, orang-utans, chimps and so many spider monkeys and birds. The koalas in San Diego smell just as bad as the Koalas in Aussie lol. The hippos were fun.
Managed to spy a polar bear too, first one ever, which was cool. So many firsts really, gorillas, orang-utans, GIANT PANDAS!!!!!! That is the whole reason we went to the zoo was to see the pandas. OMG they were soooo cute and fun. We got there at a good time go watch one of them in the hammock eating some bamboo, which was awesomeeeeee. Naw the pandas were so cute. Kahu had fun with some stuffed pandas too, again, pictures to come.
Just general zooness went on, fun though. We caught the skyfari back over the zoo to the start and I wanted to go to the Kiwi trail,so we wandered over. The Aussie outback section is getting remodelled and so it was meant to be round there. We couldn't find it, so I went and asked a keeper, and he was all "It will open with the outback section" and so I was all "but NZ and Aussie are different countries...." and Amber and Emma found it rather amusing.
Anyway, after that we went gift shopping and I was annoyed that I couldn't buy what I wanted cos I have noooo room left in my luggage. But managed to pick up a small panda shotglass. They had so much koala merchandise too which made me lol.
Ahhhhh, now, anyways, gotta go now, app HP 7.2 is on TV!
CATCH YA LATER
