Next day we headed off on the bus to the Aquarium. The guy in the hostel said we could pay in coins on the bus and we got change off him. The first bus we got on had a lady at the front beside the bus driver who gave us tickets. The Aquarium was great fun. There were loads of birds and fish. There was a touch pond but none of the fish could be coerced into coming close enough to be rubbed. We got to see all the penguins being feed in separate groups. All the ones who swam were fed first in the water. Then the ones who were giant all walked over to one keeper who fed them all individually. And these little jumping ones climbed up a load of steps away from everyone and got fed all by themselves. We also so the sealions do a fantastic show. They were really well trained and actually looked like they were enjoy themselves and having fun. They all got to mess around and swim and jump and push people. One of the continually stopped doing what her trainer wanted and just started messing and going for a swim so the trainer had her swimming about the place to keep her happy. She was probably just really warm. They even had this giant sealion, bigger than any I'd seen come out at the very end. He only did a bit but he was fed loads. We also saw dolphins doing tricks and pushing people and doing amazing jumps in the air. They were very well coordinated. Thy didn't look like they had half as much fun as the sealions. Poor Brian got burnt on his legs while we were watching some water skiing tricks done by some people dressed up as pirates. We headed back on the bus but got on with change and didn't understand the driver who kept trying to explain stuff to us and in the end just got us to sit down. Turns out you are suppose to have a ticket to travel on buses over here but not all buses. No one who speaks English seems to know how it works so we are very confused but got a free trip home.
