    Our second day in Melbourne included a tour of the Healesville Animal Sanctuary. This is not exactly a zoo. All of the animals were in open air pens.
    We saw Kangaroos, Red Kangaroos, Koalas, Dingoes, Wallabies, Birds, Quoll, Echhidnas, Pelicans, Tree Kangaroos. Many of the animals were hiding in the shade since it was mid-90's temperature. The hottest day of the summer so far.
    The highlight of the animal sanctuary visit was and up close visit with Kangaroos. We were able to feed them and get close. Penny is the Kangaroo that was the friendliest.
    Then back to the ship in the late afternoon for a well needed shower and time in the spa hot tub. Cards and drinks before dinner, then the show with 3 new singers, and off to bed...
    The ship is relocating tonight to Phillip Island for tomorrow.
