Aquarium

On Friday, Joe and I ventured up north to Naga where the aquarium is!!! We'd heard great things, and I think it's the 3rd biggest aquarium in the world. The picture to the left is of two whale sharks. Look how HUGE they are in comparison to all the people looking at them from down below!! They were amazing and I was in awe just watching them swim around. People keep telling us to get scuba certified so we can go on a dive with them!!! What amazing creatures!













One of the first things we got to do when we walked into the aquarium was look and touch the starfish exhibit! It looks so perfect I didn't think they were real, but they were! The Japanese lady in charge kept telling people to be careful, not to stack them on top of eachother, and to make sure to keep them under the water. Beautiful!
This was by far one of my favorite things I saw this day! I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it was this HUGE big blue fish with the biggest lips I'd ever seen!
Joe and I taking turns to stand in a shark jaw!!!
We even got to go to a dolphin show! It was really fun and they had two different type of dolphins- the typical bottle nose dolphin and another one I'd never seen before. It was really dark and had a smooth rounded nose and seemed much larger than the bottle nosed ones. They were so smart, I was amazed!













Here are some additional photos that I really liked from our trip! I took so many it would take ages to post them all, but these are some of my favorites!
