August 22nd

Dolphins jumpingWell, today is technically our day off – but as our real involvement with South Bank finished yesterday I guess today has been a holiday instead! Ian drove us down to Sea World on the Gold Coast.

We saw loads of animals - including polar bears, sharks, a dugong and sealions. There were several really good shows which we went to and we went on some rides as well. One of the polar bears was amazing – he played with a fish in the water just in front of us – awesome. We also saw sharks swim by closely to the viewing window in the shark pool – so cool. The dugong was called Pig!

Polar BearBeth was delighted to see Polar Bears for real (they are a passion of hers), Abi enjoyed seeing dolphins up close and Bex enjoyed the sealion show. It was a fabulous day out. I went on a roller coaster by myself and absolutely adored it. I went upside down in a loop and then did a corkscrew. I guess I was upside down, upside down South Bank Parklands– technically the right way up for a second or two!! We finished the day by going on the monorail right round the park.

Ian brought us back to South bank and we had dinner at Amici's which was lovely. Then a last walk beside the river, a play in the playground and then a walk home along to Kangaroo Point cliffs.
