Gold Coast Day2 - Target Sea World

Come share with me the oceans
Oceans of fantasy
Where you can lose your soul forever
Like in a melody

The next day we were wiser, we managed to take the Public bus to Sea World. My kinda place. These are some of the sea creatures I learnt about:
About the Nautilus: Its shell is said to be a perfect spiral.

Sea World has many such impressive models

The Blue Whale : An endangered species, it is found in the North Pacific and North Atlantic. They are rarely stranded on beaches and only 21 skeletons have been recovered.

The Gulper Eel : A small but menacing creature, it has a huge mouth hanging open, to gulp any prey that swims by.
The Turtle: One of the most ancient creatures alive, fossil records show that they date back to 220 million years ago.
The Sunfish: It swims near the surface of the sea, hence is mistaken for a shark when its huge dorsal fin peeps out of the water.
The Whale Shark : Is the biggest fish known. These gentle giants feed on plankton food.

You can take a tour of what the place has to offer. You can see the Polar bears roaming lazily, penguins swimming languidly.

Happy feet are here again...

In the huge lagoon system you will find a variety of Fish, Rays and sharks swimming past you. The Dolphin show was awe inspiring.

The kids enjoyed the trail of the creatures of the Deep, marking up what they learnt, in the booklet provided on site. Then we hit the rides.

A useful tip : Always take your raincoats to Amusement Parks, you are bound to get wet in one ride or another.
Everyone but me enjoyed the Storm Coaster, a bit too steep for my liking. I enjoyed the water fight on the pirate boat themed Castaway Bay. The Jet Rescue ride was the speediest ride of our lives to date.

The evening became more picturesque at sunset, as we made our way back to the city, and headed to the Megastore Target. Bought shoes, clothes and clicked some that I felt were out of the ordinary!
