Saturday: the Perfect day

Saturday was our big day. After the alarm in the building went off multiple times and woke us up in the morning, we left at 8:50ish and rode the buses to Caversham Wildlife Park. Oh my goodness. We saw so many cool things! There’re a lot of cool animals in Australia. There’s this bird that says ‘Allo. And we saw koalas, although they were sleeping, because they need to sleep for 18 hours. But I did pet one! And we fed the kangaroos. I love kangaroos! They’re so friendly (well, the domesticated ones), and would eat right out of our hands. They had white ones too (they’re not albino; they’re specifically bred to be white. The other ones are red and grey). A little joey even bit me (I don’t think he was happy that I was out of food). The turkey is ugly and gorgeous at the same time. But there was a really BIG spider in between the two fences between the turkey and us. AND I rode a camel! It was $4 AUD, so hey, why not? But in Broome, we’ll ride camels on the beach for an hour at sunset for $55, so I’ll definitely hit that up as well. We also saw dingos (which are not native to Australian), and took a picture with a wombat. Pretty much, Caversham was incredible. I think it would be awesome to work there; our guide gets to take home a little joey at night and take care of it. Afterwards, we went to the Margaret River Chocolate Factory and filled up with free samples. I thought about buying some, but no way would it last 4 months! After coming back, we left about 20 minutes later for South Beach. It was perfect weather and South Beach was GORGEOUS. The water was incredibly clear, and it was perfect swimming weather. The water felt really good because it was so hot out. Nick caught a jellyfish, and we held it (it doesn’t sting); it was pretty cool. And felt like… jelly! Weird, I know… There were also fish that would swim by, and they blended in with the sand really well. I also got completely buried in the sand, and that was pretty sweet. Later that night, I got a makeover; it was like the scene in Miss Congeniality where her trainer/makeup dude leaves and all the other girls pitched in. Then we went out. It was fun, but I don’t think I’ll be going to Newport again.
