Monday, 8 March 2010 - swimming with Sharks!






Today we visited Seaworld. We went on the monorail and the Skyrail (chairlift) which gave us a good view over everything.

We went on lots of rides including the Viking’s Revenge Flame and the Sea Viper Rollercoaster – the latter which we went on twice.

We also were allowed to go snorkelling in Shark Bay. We saw lots of gropers, stingray and shark (obviously not the man-eating variety). We had to wear full wetsuits, shoes and fins with our snorkelling mask with breathing tube. It was great fun snorkelling in 3 metre deep water. Our uncle and aunt could see us from below from an underwater viewing window.

A couple of times we went to see the resident polar bear hoping that he would be in the water, but unfortunately today, he was lonely as he was on his own and just moped around lying on the rocks. He looked sad which made us feel sad too.

We visited the Ray Reef where there was a big pool under cover with lots of stingrays of all sizes which we could safely pat.

After we left Seaworld, we went to the Main Beach in Surfers Paradise to watch lots of surfers. We played in the sand, then Jack and Selena ran into the surf.

Upon arriving back at the resort, we all went swimming in the pool for awhile. It cooled us down greatly as it had been another steaming, hot and humid day.

We were exhausted but still we went out for a huge Mexican feed.
