We have a long weekend, and I wonder what we do with it. I am quite tired from work, and we did not really do any big plans so this time it will be something easy. It is still very warm so no big trips come into consideration for now. After a short agreement we decided to go see a water aquarium.
But to be exact, we went there on Sunday. Saturday and Monday we left to rest and relax at home, and to the classic, evening on the beach. Now let's go, we go to the aquarium in Perth. Aquarium is situated in Hillarys, a bit to the north ofus, right by the ocean. There is also small shopping centre and restaurants, marina with yachts, and a small beach for kids, this is very great for swimming for small children.
We come quite late, around noon, and it is already crowded , and parking is copmletely full and to find free space is not as easy as it first appears. Finally, I managed to find a place after a few minute circling on parking lot.
Aquarium itself is quite nice, but personally I expected something much larger. The only thing really amazing here is a huge tunnel beneath a large water tank where the fish are from every part of the world. But other exposures and small aquariums I didn't find that great. It was nice, but I expected that there will be many more, not only in terms of fish, but also reptiles, snakes, possibly some penguins ... Well there was nothing in that together.
The whole aquarium we saw within about two or three hours. Then we went to the beach next door, there it is very nicely done, some cafes, grass, sand, and so we sat there for a few hours until the evening. The sun was beautifuly shining, so after lunch we took an ice cream, and then we went back home.
It was just a shorter trip, but to the other hand, quite nice. Now it remains to us just to jump to the the local zoo, but it again maybe next time :)
