The Rest of the Rest

We're into the 2nd 10-day program now after enjoying what was a quiet break.  As mentioned in earlier posts, we used the steams a couple of times and did a vitamin C flush, each of which took some energy out of Tammy.  On Friday, we had a ride arranged by Living Valley to go to the Australia Zoo.  Tammy and i and one other guest - Rosalyn, went together and... we finally saw kangaroos!  We also saw lots of koalas and plenty of other cool animals.  Australia Zoo has done a great job of having spacious, natural areas for all of their animals - very impressive.

Because it was stinkin' hot and we knew we'd be moving around for a few hours, we brought along LVS' wheel chair so that Tammy could take it easy and still see the entire zoo - worked out beautifully.  That, and I'm managing to perfect my work mule sounds : )

A 'red' kangaroo gives me 'the stare'.  The grey kangaroos are smaller, cuter and apparently more common.

Mmmm, corn & pellets!  

A happy customer!  After the 'roos ate the pellets & corn, they immediately turned to their native diet - grazing!!

These guys sleep 20 to 22 hours each day!  Why?  Apparently because of all the energy
that it takes their bodies to digest eucalyptus!  From where we were looking,
this little guy looked like he might've been expired!

On Saturday, we spent a quiet day on the grounds, taking a few naps, sitting out on the deck, reading various books and enjoying the company of the other guests at mealtimes.

And then Sunday, back to the grind!
