周末游植物园

Botanic garden! Finally daddy willingly agreed to visit it after seeing newspaper featuring the opening of its Children’s Garden in early Oct. We had a very good walk there this Sunday morning. From its main entrance to midway visitor centre, we spent nearly 1.5 hours! Jiajia also had a good workout, walking here and there, up and down, seeing lots of “wang wang”s (dogs), a number of squirrels, some birds and even two graceful swans at the Swan Lake! Around 1pm the sky turned dark and soon came the downpour. We couldn’t make it to the car park on time and have to seek shelter along the way. But we are so lucky, met some really nice people at the two shelters. One where the young couple offered seat to mama, and people having gathering there offered jiajia banana and apple. At another shelter, there are at least 20 people having BBQ picnic there. We were offered fruit cake, Australian style brownies and mineral water. What a feast ") 植物园是妈妈一直以来都很想去的地方。星期天早上看看天气还好,就赶快叫爸爸带佳佳一起去走走。植物园的大门停车场附近开始有好多新修的设施,从那一路开始我们走走停停,看到了很多新奇的花草树木,佳佳也见识了众多的汪汪(狗), 鸟类,还有几只松鼠,甚至还有两只优雅的白天鹅!走了1个半小时,后来乌云滚滚,我们不得不取消了继续探访儿童园区的念头,打道回府。。。可惜还没走回停车场,就下起了倾盆大雨,在避雨处等啊等,好不容易雨小点,冲出去,一下子雨又下大了。只好再冲向下一个避雨场所。这时也已经差不多午后1点多了, 饥肠辘辘。所幸的是,在两个避雨凉亭都碰到了好心人。一处的年轻夫妇给妈妈让位坐,而隔壁聚餐的叔叔阿姨也给了佳佳一条香蕉吃,外加一苹果。 在另外一处,更是有好多菲佣在聚餐,她们的食物好丰富,还有2,3 篮的蛋糕,果然,不久就有两位阿姨走过来,给了佳佳一片水果蛋糕,两片巧克力蛋糕(澳大利亚风味的)还有一杯矿泉水。 佳佳哪里吃得下这么多啊,最后还是妈妈把他们统统解决了.
