Me and Tom were planning on visiting bondi and coogee today but we want to try and keep out of the sun as much as possible so instead we decided to go to the zoo! To get there we had to take a ferry from circular quay and it took about 15 minutes to get there. It was a lot of fun, we saw koalas, kangaroos, tasmanian devil, seals, birds, snakes etc. The coolest was probably koalas and kangaroos, just because we've never seen those animals before.
Even though it was cloudy it got soo hot and we were really worn out after a few hours. When we got back to the wharf there was a speed-chess champion challenging anyone who wanted to play. Ofcourse tom did not turn down the challenge. It was truly amazing seeing this guy play 6 people at once. He beat tom but it was a good match :) Thats the fun thing about being in a big city, you never know what you'll see.

At the moment we are just hanging out at the hostel, tom is watching a film with a finnish guy and a german girl. It is pretty fun staying at hostels actually, its very social and you meet loads of new poeple.

Anyway here are some pictures from today:
