It's my Birthday

Todays adventure was a trip to the Aquarium, it was so much better than I thought and really worth the visit. Especially as on your birthday it is free, bonus.

The Aquarium opened in 1985 by a New Zealand underwater adventurer Kelly Tarlton, we have thought visiting before when visiting Melissa but as they leaving soon it was a gift for us for my birthday and fathers day. The Aquarium houses thousands of marine animals from hundreds of species, including sharks, penguins, turtles, stingrays, seahorses, fish, so many penguins and some we had never seen before. It is also home to the largest penguin colony in the Southern Hemisphere and is New Zealand's only turtle rescue centre.

Melissa made a lovely chocolate cake for my birthday, it was a great day.Read more
