Tea in the rainforest

After our bus trip we had tea at the Rainforest Cafe, 25% off because we went to the Aquarium last night.
It was so wacky it was great. Kids would love it, the animals moved every 10-15 minutes.
You could also see bits of the aquarium and fish swimming past. Lovely.
Food was great too.Weiterlesen
