Oh man, on the best buzz at the moment.
Had a very wonderful, magical experience this evening, but I'll get to that later.
We woke up at a reasonable time this morning.
Mum, Dad and I went across the road to Mimi's for breakfast and we reminisced about the good old times when it was just us three. Ahhh, I remember it well.
At Mimi's, Dad had toast and coffee, I had a banana and strawberry smoothie and Mum had s muffin to go. But this was average, she said.
We brought back some breakfast for Kate and Jack.
Not long after that, we were packed up and ready to leave Anaheim.
Straight to San Diego Zoo it was!
Us kids with the lion:
They've got like, every sort of animal ever.
It was very hot today and I think we may have got a tad burnt..
They had grizzly bears:
The bears getting a little frisky:
There were koalas:
All sorts of monkeys, and I was reunited with my orangutan family:
"Papa, is that you?"
"Yes Madeleine, come home baby"
This was mama orangutan getting some food:
Resemblance is amazing:
Dad, Kate and Jack got these cool ice creams that were in a little cup and they were just like, little individual balls of ice cream. V yummy.
We saw turtles:
And a hippo called Funani who was very, very graceful:
There were cute little red pandas:
And real pandas!!
Apparently there are only 50 pandas in the world outside of China.
And there were two here.
We got our picture taken and they edited it so it looked like we were holding lil baby pandas. That was a keeper.
I forgot what these things were called (tall antelope things), but they just kinda held onto trees and stood up:
Jack with a lion:
Jack riding a cheetah (?) :
A lady lion:
Next up were the polar bears.
They were actually massive.
The one on the right was waiting for some action but the other one was sleeping:
Apparently he got lucky last week so maybe there'll be baby polar bear cubs in the way!
Kate and her funky cup filled with lemon slushy:
Kate being cool man:
Elephants!!
To get back down, we caught gondolas and got a pretty good view of the zoo and San Diego:
Cool church:
Back at the bottom, we found the naked mole rats!
Ugly.
But cute.
We were all done and over animals by that time so we headed to our hotel.
After checkin in, we settled in and stuff.
Dad and Jack checked out the pool and Dad checked out the free beer on offer.
We all went down to the dining area for dinner.
There was a free all you can eat buffet!
It was great.
They even have a chocolate milk dispenser.
Defs hitting that up at breakfast tomorrow.
Dad returned to his free beer and then he joined Jack in the pool.
Mum, Kate (reluctantly) and I went to Fashion Valley for a quick squizz at the shops.
Woooo weeee.
There was everything.
Prada, Gucci, Burberry, Emporio Armani, Carolina Hererra, Louis Vuitton, the lot.
I headed straight for Tiffany & Co.
We were served by the wonderfully fabulous Marc (i'm assuming he spells his name with a C).
Everything about him was fabulous; his hair, his nails, his suit!
And he put necklaces and bracelets on me and kept saying how cute they were.
Eventually I decided on what I wanted and left with a necklace and a bracelet.
Marc wrapped them up into beautiful Tiffany-blue boxes, tied with a Tiffany-bow. (It's not just a normal bow! He had to take lessons.)
Both in a blue Tiffany & Co. bag along with a couple of Tiffany books about diamonds and jewellery which Marc put in there.
This is how you get your receipt:
In a Tiffany & Co. envelope!
He honestly gave us the best Tiffany's experience ever.
Omg, I felt like a princess.
Marc's actually coming to Auckland next year and then heading to Sydney for Mardi Gras.
He doesn't have his costume yet, but it's gonna be crazy.
Après that experience:
(not a very good photo sorry - it was night time)
Then we popped over to MAC where I made a couple of purchases :)
Kate got a Haagen-Daazs ice cream while she waited for me.
She was very very patient.
I wandered to a few other stores and a guy on his phone like, stopped being on the phone and was like, "Excuse me?"
And I was like, "Yeah?" Thinking he was gonna ask directions or something.
But he was like, "You're pretty"
And I was like "Um, thanks."
And kept walking.
LOL
What a night.
This is mine and Kate's bedding arrangements for this evening:
I'm at the bottom in the little cave.
Oh, one last note:
The toilet here is great.
No jet-powered sucking force.
Just a gentle swirl and everything's washed away.
So I'm a very happy girl today.
Very tired though!
Off to sleep now, and to dream about all the Tiffany & Co. jewellery I could have.
Byeeeeee!
