From the city itself we only saw a few houses from far. We had come for the Nausicaa aquarium and lunch which for some seniors is more important then the subject of the excursion !
We got out of the bus and walked along the sea to the Aquarium.
At the entrance we were checked for arms and weapons and had to go through a scanner, but this is normal nowadays everywhere. There was a nice bar with a beautiful view on the sea but unfortunately it was closed. I don't know why because it was around 11 am.
We had this nice green bus and after having seen all the water creatures, we went into a very nice restaurant, where we had 5 courses and drinks as much as you wanted included in the price. We stayed there for at least 3 hours and then walked back to the bus again to return home.
Even here we met our friend Napoleon from the battle of Waterloo.

Rays
Little fishes, I don't remember their name
and this monster was busy to swallow a shrimp, which was sitting on its head and had walked slowly down directly into his mouth.
Another huge fish
Jelly fishes in all forms and sizes
Isn't that a friendly smile ?
Children trying to catch a fish through the glass
Herings
Fake grotto with different aquariums inside
A feeding place, but I don't know for whom may be sea lions, which I haven't seen. There are feeding times.
A few very impressive fishes
A cute chameleon
It is an ideal place for people who love the sea and its creatures
It sounds like both an interesting and enjoyable outing, in a horrible coloured coach.
ReplyDeleteYour bus was certainly built for safety on the road as everyone would have seen you coming! Glad you enjoyed the aquarium, great fish pics. I'd have loved a 5-course three-hour lunch too!
ReplyDeleteLooks a good trip, happy days!

Doesn't everywhere always promote themselves as the best or the biggest or most visited or something else to make them seem attractive lol. There was certainly plenty to see there but the lunch sounded good value too.
ReplyDeleteThe rays particularly fascinate me.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting day you had especially that meal. Five courses! I hear so often that I am visiting the largest in the world. I am sure you have found the same on your travels. When I was in Lisbon they said the aquarium there was the largest in Europe/World.
