What a fantastic day we had today - we went to visit Kelly Tarltons Underwater World and saw SO much! After having a very quick morning tea, we started our visit in the Antarctica section, watching the penguins swimming underwater and looking at some of the machinery they use on the ice. From there we went into Stingray Bay where we could go into a snow cat and visit the penguins. We even saw some baby ones! on our return to Stingray Bay we looked into a small tank that had baby school sharks and a large tank with fish, a turtle and stingrays. We could also look out the window at the falling tide as we were below ground.
From there it was into the shark tunnel - boy they were big! We saw some divers in the fish tunnel and they waved to us. After exploring the rock pool area with it's giant crayfish (that made the grownups mouths water) and very big eels we went into the classroom where we met Chris and he introduced us to Jim and his friends in a puppet show.
By now we were all very hungry so it was off to Bastion Point for lunch and some fun games organised by Ruby's dad James before we all climbed back onto the bus to return to Kindergarten.
What a wonderful trip to Kelly Tarltons we had!

WOW what an experience! How lucky you are to live so close to such an amazing place where you can visit and learn so much about the underwater world and penguins. I wonder if you have drawn pictures or written stories about your adventures... I would love to see some on the blog if you have.
