September 25, 2009 - uShaka Marine World

Today's event was the uShaka Marine World, where we got in touch with our inner child. uShaka is a large theme-park and aquarium where you can see and learn about hundreds of sea creatures. We watched a Dolphin Show featuring the aerial acrobatics of a number of resident dolphin, and then hurriedly found some seats at the Seal Island, where staff performed a cute little play involving the audience and starring a resident Seal. We were probably more excited than all the 3-year-olds in attendance!



















































































Afterwards we walked by some of the amazing aquariums featuring exotic South African marine life including a number of large sharks.













































































































































































































































































































Then Sami snorkeled in one of the aquariums! It had tons of exotic fish and even small sharks, which he was happily able to take photos of using his new underwater camera casing!





























































































After a long day at uShaka, we ventured to The Secret Spot surfing lodge, where we had booked accommodation for the night. Apparently, a surfing guru lived there, and Sami was hoping to take some surfing lessons as well. The Secret Spot turned out to be a heavenly oasis, and we immediately booked two extra nights! With lots of greenery, three friendly lodge dogs, a nice pool, free internet, and other very friendly guests, we just had to extend the stay.


























































We spent the evening getting to know some of the other guests and enjoying a few bottles of wine.



























































....don't ask about the last one!!
