Sunshine--Wonderful or Terrible?
Yesterday, I went to the Monarto Zoological Park. How can I comment the day?
We went out at 8.30am. It took about one hour from our home to the park. There was nothing special on the way. When we got in the park, there were few people. We went to the visitor centre to ask for the free bus and waited in a cafe for the fist one.
At 10.30am, the first bus started its tour. The guide introduced the animals in every district and we could see a few of them. There was strong sunlight, maybe some animals hided in shadows. We just saw some Mongolia horses, rhinoceros, giraffes, zebras, African Painted dogs and two lions that rested under shadow. Because of the sunlight, I could not take any photos through the windows. It was regretful. The bus circled for an hour and went back to the visitor center.
After a fifteen-minute rest, we decided to walk follow two tracks-Emu Wallaby Track & Malleefowl Track. In Emu Wallaby Track, we saw some kangaroos and ostriches and took photos with them. But in Malleefowl Track, we had never seen any animals! Where were they hiding?
After that, we were so tired and I had to say that it was too sun-baked to walk outside yesterday! We went back to home. My husband felt uncomfortable and took some medicine. I thought that he might have been heatstroke. How can I say for the lovely sunshine, wonderful or terrible?

You always have to be careful in the Australian sun. It can be very fierce. Always take a hat and a bottle of water. Have you been to Adelaide Zoo? I haven't.
