Okay, so the biking segment wasn't entirely accident free, but Jeff and I eventually made a full recovery.

Bats! Hundreds of bats! (No, not on this one tree... all around!) We visited a grove of trees in the midst of this small town which was home to a large bat colony. Cool! They were flying around a lot, but so quickly and unexpectantly it was really hard to catch them in flight.

Lots of constant shrieking and bickering too. This evening's entertainment... waiting for the platypus to come out... at the official viewing platform, of course! Nope. Didn't see a platypus. But would you come out of hiding to parade in front of this?!?
