48 hour visit (2)








The aquarium at La Rochelle is amazing. It's not easy taking photographs behind glass (and through water) so forgive any blurred lines! The last time we visited the aquarium we drove round in the car and it took ages. It was only recently I realised it was so near to the port, hence our journey on foot.

Photo 3 shows Phil in the children's tunnel (well he IS our youngest), and photo 4 could almost be outer space, not delicate jelly fish gliding around their tank. 'Napoleon' was big, about 60 cm long and nearly as tall. Aparently they can grow to 150 kg in weight! The clown fish are for Matt who's a big fan of Nemo, and to see the sea-turtle gracefully swimming past was awe-inspiring. We didn't lose any of our party to the piranhas, but sadly photos of the sharks didn't pass the quality test!

If you get the chance you must visit!

A visit to the aquarium is a must this summer. You did recommend it to us before but now having seen the photos we will definitely take the children (that includes Hughie!!)
