Sydney Aquarium and Sydney Winter Festival























two weekends ago we finally got off our lazy bum and took boo to the Sydney Aquarium.  it was a sunny day except it was a little bit windy.

we parked our car close to Jim's work and on our way to the aquarium,  we stopped by the Sydney Winter Festival and did a quick look-see. Jim was right when he said we won't be able to spend a morning/an afternoon there. it was still early when we got there so the place wasn't crowded yet but there wasn't many or i should say any activity suitable for boo. so we decided to take some photos and made our way to the aquarium.

boo was quite excited when we first got there. as Jim lined up to sort out our pre booked tickets, he spotted a giant shark statue and he was very curious. he got even more excited when we told him we'll get to meet the octonauts soon.

it was really dark in the aquarium so it wasn't easy to take photos and we didn't take many. nevertheless, we got to see different sea animals. not only did we see shark eggs for the first time, we also got to touch one. boo was a bit hesitant when it comes to touching the shark egg or the sea cucumber but he loved watching the sharks swim around us as we walked down the shark tunnel like section.

the part boo enjoyed most at the aquarium was meeting kwazii the pirate cat from octonauts. when he first saw kwazii, he was a little hesitant to get close to him to take a photo but Jim went with him and he was happy. he was even happier when we bought the printed photo of him with daddy and kwazii.
by the time we finish checking out the whole place,  it was almost lunch time. we bought two photos of us from the souvenirs shop (yep, we're suckers for touristy photos) and headed off for some fish and chips.
