We spent the day at the safari park. I was a little apprehensive about it since it would be a long day but Charlie was such a little trooper! We began on a train that drove to see animals roaming around and then we walked through the rest of the park ourselves. The animals were really neat. Unlike the regular zoo where most of the animals are typically asleep or hiding, these animals were much more active. Probably because they were throwing meat at them....
There are only 500 white tigers in the world, and this zoo has 250 of them. They also have the world's only twin koalas and very rare triplet baby pandas. The baby pandas are a really big deal there. We couldn't see the pandas live because they are still being cared for in private but we could see video of them. They will be out for public viewing in November.
We had dinner at a cute little cafe across the street. It was quiet and the food was wonderful!
Tomorrow we go to the U.S. Consulate for Charlie's visa appointment. Shouldn't be super fun considering we have to meet at 7:30 am and wait around most of the morning for our appointment time. We can't bring anything in - no cell phones, no watches, nothing. We can bring our passports and a clear bag with some snacks for Charlie. We will be happy to see the American flag flying though!
Only 3 more sleeps until home!
Specific prayer request: Please pray that our Consulate appointment goes really well tomorrow and that there is no delay getting Charlie's visa on Wednesday.
