Ukee...the aquarium and Big Beach.


We do, we love it! It's the sweetest little aquarium with the nicest most approachable and knowledgeable staff. It's a not-for profit organization aaaaand they release all their creatures back into the ocean every year! 
I love that!


On this visit, more so than ever before, Seb and Bel went nuts as soon as we got in the door running from tank to tank, squeeling, ooing and ahhing. Luckily it's just one big room so even when they were running about in different directions like crazy folk we could still keep our eyes on them. I was more worried for the poor little sea creatures getting manhandled by Isobel in her hyper excited state! 











The highlight of our visit was watching one of the staff feed the octopus with a live crab. It was fascinating to watch the Octopus change colour and texture according to his emotions. They are such interesting creatures!




After the aquarium we grabbed an ice cream then headed down to Big Beach to dip our toes in the water and enjoy the sunshine.
