SeaWorld

Last week (yes it's taken that long) we headed to SeaWorld for Alma's birthday.  It wasn't as big as I expected and you kind of feel a bit sorry for the animals there as they just get to swim around and around in a very confined area .... but at the same time I'd have to admit - it's fairly spectacular !

It's not just all about sea creatures.  They also hold parrots, owls etc. captive ... er I mean are helping the conservation cause.  Below is a heap of pre-selected photos.

The sealion / otter show is done like a couple of different TV sketches of game shows / x-factor (don't mention the war) like programmes - pretty hilarious !

The "Shamu" show was easily the most spectacular.

The compulsory drowning in the "splash zone".

They're so good, they even have Christmas there already !
