My son took his son with him, and he drove to Talonga zoo by his car. Entrance fee is 44 dollars, but he used discount coupon (33 dollars for each), but 3 of us could enter the zoo by 31.5 dollars using senior advantage (over 64 years old.)

We arrived at zoo at 11:30. It took my son to buy tickets for 15 minues because of the long line. While waiting, we could enjoy seeing various kinds of wild birds in the zoo, just next to the gate.

We had lunch together at the restaurant, then separated into three groups (my family, 3 women, and K) and began 2 hour-sightseeings.

予定通り動物園の見学は3時に終え、帰路に着いた。途中、オペラハウスに寄って、認証写真を撮った。綺麗に晴れた青空に、飛行機雲がまっすぐ伸びていたのが印象的だった。

チャットウッドへ戻る前にK青年をホテルにおろした。彼は翌日のブルーマウンテン＆洞窟観光も同行希望したので肇が手配することを約束して別れた。洞窟観光は現地でも申し込めるが、予約満席の場合が多く、あらかじめ電話で予約しておいた方が無難だ。
