Another morning swim today before breakfast, even Grandad got in for a quick swim today!
We had breakfast at Shoney's this morning, another buffet style breakfast bar, they did some lovely scrummy churros and some little flan cases that you filled with your own fruit filling as well as all the normal bacon, sausage, pancakes etc...
We decided to revisit Seaworld today as we didn't manage to do all the attractions last time. We got there around lunch time and headed straight to the next Sealion show. The mime artist before the show was hilarious taking the mickey out of all the people arriving in the last ten minutes before the show, all the more funny 'cos most of them didn't even realise what everyone was laughing at!
The show itself was great, even the trainers ended up laughing as the sealions weren't doing what they were supposed to be (think they may have changed the show recently!).
Next stop was the Shark Encounter, we stopped outside to look at some of the smaller sharks and rays in a pool outside the main area, then we headed inside where you walk through huge glass tunnels with sharks swimming above and beside you. I liked the sawtooth shark.
As we walked round to Wild Arctic the path we were walking along had been set up for their Halloween Spooktacular where at weekends they have some people dressed as strange sea like creatures for photo opportunites and also stands set up for trick or treat (although you don't have to do anything just carry the provided bag and get sweets from each station). The kids ended up with loads of stuff! They'll probably all be hyper by the time we get the plane tomorrow :)
We finally got to Wild Arctic and Sarah, Chloe, Stephen, Grandad and I took the helicopter simulator to base camp while the other walked!! It was a bumpy ride as we nearly got caught in a storm and an avalanche! When we got out we saw the Beluga Whales (hilarious as everyone was saying the were playing or fighting - hmmm that's definitely not what they were doing hee hee! Education of a slightly different kind than anticipated!) Also saw a very sleepy polar bear and a couple of huge walruses (had a great view of these and these and the Belugas from the underwater viewing area.
Grandma then took Chloe to feed the dolphins (we all thought this was a bit too expensive but as the others had done it before it was decided that just Chloe and Grandma would do it while the rest of us waited on the opposite side of the pool to take photos/videos of them.
We were going to leave then but Stephen was desparate to have a last ride on Kraken so with a 20 min wait, he, Sarah, Chloe and Keith went on while the rest of us found somewhere shady to sit and wait.
We ended up leaving the park just after 5 and headed back to the 192 for an early dinner at a Chinese Buffet.
We had promised the kids another game of crazy golf so we did the Jungle Golf opposite the chinese restaurant before heading back the to villa for the kids to swim and us to pack the cases.
Don't want to come home, the weather here is fantastic (altho probably a little too hot during the middle of the day).
Probably going to do Disney Quest after dropping our cases of tomorrow morning.
Hope everyone well.
