Wednesday 17th September
Seaworld today and I took loads of photos so I will split the report into sections.
This first section will be what we did around the park other sections will be the shows we saw.
We started off heading to the left towards the Dolphins. The flamingo area was being re-developed into a new ride for next year but did see this chap on the way.

At the dolphin pool if you want to get near them you have to spend $7 on a tray of fish (3). You cannot buy 1 tray between two of you so these next photos cost me $14. LOL.

We just had time after feeding the dolphins to make it round to the Blue Horizon Show but more about this in a separate section.
After the show it was time to cool off on Atlantis.

Got wet as usual. Some of the water canons at the bottom of the drop were being used to very good effect.
Kracken was next for the not so faint hearted – me? – you must be joking. Somebody had to hold the camera.

Think there was a close-up tour happening at the time.

Plenty of time to get good seats for the Clyde & Seymore show so we got some shots of the mime artist first but these will come in with the show photos.
How often have you seen the Sky Tower open and working. It was open so this was a must. Some fab views from the top.
