Day 3

We went inside the aquarium this time around - it's the 2nd largest in the world and we had a lot of fun! Typical aquarium, lots of funny looking fish! We sat and waited for the whale shark feeding for an hour - the places was PACKED and we had gotten a seat, so we were afraid to move...we solved the world's problems as we sat and chatted in front of the huge tank (an indoor sea wall!)


The view from the aquarium entrance
I was going to get a drink of water, but the sign above said not for drinking, gargle only...the peddles on the water fountains made me laugh...I passed on them though!
This poor guy looked so awkward trying to swim...big nose, little fins, doesn't seem fair!
This was the huge tank - we were contemplating if everyone gets along in there or if they have sea bullies :)
Jellyfish are my favorite I think - so delicate, but so strong!
I'd never seen these eels before, they bury themselves and wait for plankton
Pink fish - fun!
Big lipped fish and a sea turtle too
This was only part of the crowd waiting for the feeding - CRAZY!!!

From our seats waiting....
The whale shark eating...see Sarah, sharks can't eat you, their mouths don't open up that much!

They were SO neat to watch!
This one just made me laugh
It's just like shark week :)
HELP! I'm being eaten by a shark...
Adrienne's dissecting the shark...interesting display
When we left it had started raining...
The next stop was the butterfly garden - way cool! We had some other tourists take our picture - they were fascinated that we were from America and school teachers...there was much ooohhing and ahhhing

I got to hold the butterflies!

Butterfly fairy...my face wouldn't fit in the little hole though :(

The chrysalis was SO shiny, much more interesting than the painted lady butterflies I usually raise with my kids!
Adrienne was trying to convince the butterfly it liked pink so it would land on her sweater again for a picture!
