Good evening everyone, we're back! ;)
This is our first day in Australia and we're already in love with this country. 
Our day started wonderful and the first thing you saw when you opened your eyes was the sun. 
We woke up around nine o'clock and took the elevator down to the hotel-lobby. 
We decided to eat breakfast at the hotel. When we sat down at the table everything felt good, we had the most amazing view over the ocean and beach. The perfect start at the morning! 

Our breakfast wasn't so special but we didn't care so much because the view and the temperature were perfect. 
After breakfast we decided to walk down to the harbor and meet the couple from the cab yesterday.
When we arrived at the harbor we saw the couple and we walked up to them. We talked a little bit and then stepped on board the boat. The water was crystal clear and the sun was shining brightly when we started the engine.

Avida and Catelynn sat on the deck and drank wine while Samuel and Thomas talked about Tasmania. 

Thomas told us that he and Catelynn grew up in Australia so they knew alot of it. He told us that Tasmanias capital is Hobart and it's one of Australias oldest cities.Thomas told us that in the 1800's whaling was very popular in Tasmania, we thought it was terrible and horrifying to hear about it. Because it's a very sensitive subject in Sweden, we doesn't appreciate animal cruelty. 
When we said that he decided to tell us about the tasmanian devil. Ofcourse it's not a demon from hell, it's an carnivorous wombat. Its fur is black with some white spots, it has a big head and small body. It's endangered soThomas tells us we will be very lucky if we see one!
     

When we arrived at the harbour we decided to take the car down to the beach and set up camp there and take a swim in the sea. So we put on our swimsuits and went for a swim. In the water we saw wonderful fishes with so many different colours and sizes. It was so amazing but a bit scary when they swam near your legs or feet. 
After our experiance in the water we went up on the beach and drank a bottle of cold CocaCola. It was almost 30 degrees in the sun so it was very refreshing with a cold drink! <3
We changed clothes and got in the car with Catelynn and Thomas, they didn't tell us where we were going.
When Thomas stopped the car we looked outside the window and saw a big sign saying "Welcome to Trowunna WildLife Park!". 
"Hey look! We are at a Animal park!" Was the first thing I heard when I stepped out of the car. Samuel was really exited about it! 
The entrance to the park cost $22/adult but It's totally worth it, you even get kangaroo food so you can feed them.
Inside the park It was an exotic enviroment and alot of different animals. The first thing we did was feeding the kangaroo. It's around 1,8 meteres tall and it weights around 9oKg and it had big ears and a very small head. The kangaroo is usually awake at night and dawn and they are good swimmers and jumpers.
On our way back to the car we looked around, we saw some trees and other things. But one thing was a bit special and we saw it in one of the threes. It was a koala in one of the trees! 
A koala lives in the trees and its weight is around 5-12kg and it's aroung 80cm tall. It has a big black nose and a big head with fluffy ears, it's grey and white in its colour. And it was soooo damn cute! 
After the animalpark we took the car back to our camp, we sat down in a ring around the fire and watched the stars, we fell asleep under the stars that night.



When Thomas told us about the Tasmanian Devil we decided to google it and found this video in youtube! It's so cute and It sounds so funny... (It's not our video!!)
