Next on our to-do list...the Aquarium! Located behind a really neat marina, we decided to spend the majority of the day at what Michael referred to as "the biggest aquarium in Australia". false. this aquarium is tiny and for those of you who have been to say the Shedd aquarium in Chicago it is hardly comparable however we forked over $30 to enter which included a ticket to the IMAX show. The aquarium, while small, was still very interesting. There was a glass hallway so we were surrounded by sharks, sting rays, and other kinds of huge fish. We also saw some divers cleaning the tank and got some pictures with one. Around lunch time we took a break from the tour to go see the IMAX film which turned out to be one long nap. It was narrated by Jim Carey but not funny exciting Jim Carey, soft soothing voice Jim Carey. That on top of underwater footage of coral and fish put us all to sleep within minutes but we hardly complained since we were all exhausted anyway. We woke up and went back into the aquarium where a worker informed us that the first 20 people to get to a showing on turtles would be given passes to walk over to the million dollar turtle hospital. After swimming with a sea turtle in the ocean I have fallen in love and was super excited to go see them! We made it to the theatre in time and were escorted by a marine biologist over to the turtle hospital. It was so interesting hearing how they rehabilitate them back into the wild. I would love to have that job and the turtles were simply amazing!
