We had a fabulous day at Sea World. The weather warmed up considerably from yesterday. We arrived just before 11 am and checked Buddy into the kennel. Our first stop was the Kraken rollercoaster which we found out did not open until 1 pm. So we had a bit of time to tour the park while waiting. Chris and Sarah had been raving about how good this ride was. We eventually made it onto the ride and even managed to sit in the front row again, like we had done on Shei-Kra at Busch Gardens. The ride was awesome. Lots of loops, with a few half twists thrown in for good measure as well.
The rest of the day was spent viewing all the different animals. The dolphon and killer whale shows were fabulous. We sat in the "soak zone" at both shows but were not to get drenched. Shamu was fantastic to see. There were many of our neighbours in the "soak zone" who left sopping wet. For some reason we lucked out and stayed relatively dry.
I've added some assorted pictures here for you to see.
The seals and walruses were very entertaining. We could walk around their whole habitat and watched many of them acting out for anyone willing to feed them a fish or three. Any fish that weren't scooped by the seals were quickly picked up by any of the water birds, who always seemed to be close by too.
We managed to find a turkey leg for lunch. We had tried them before and figured they offered the best value for money at any of the theme parks.
We started filing out of the park around 5:30 pm and just had to hit the bakery on the way out for coffee and a piece of cake. We walked over 6 km in the park. It was Dr. Martin Luther King Day today so the park was quite busy.
Buddy was anxious to see us and apparently kept most of the other dogs and kennel staff entertained for the entire day.
Tomorrow is rest day at the park. Swim in the morning and we shall introduce Matt and Sarah to pickleball in the afternoon. They are threatening to kick our butts.....we shall just have to wait and see.
