Kelly Tarlton's

We had an awesome day at Kelly Tarlton's! We arrived just in time to see the stingray feeding which was really exciting. They are so big and graceful and it was amazing watching them swim up to the keeper and take food from her.

We then went on through the tunnel to see all the fish swimming around and above us. It was so interesting we had to go around about three times! 

We watched all the fish in Fish Alley being fed. Piranha, Lionfish, an Octopus, coral fish and some massive crayfish that Michael got to feed by hand...yes, he does still have all his fingers!

We then went on the snow cat ride which took us through the penguin exhibit and taught us a little about the habits and habitat. 

A big thank you to Josh's Dad for organising such an amazing experience for us to have in Auckland!

By this time it was lunchtime so we headed around the road to St Heliers for a bit of lunch.

Michael's Dad told us about an exhibition of street art in town, so we headed there, with a quick detour over the harbour bridge. Catherine and Luke managed to hold their breath for the entire time over the bridge, that's just over a minute.

By the time we got back to the hotel, we were all tuckered out and ready for a rest, a swim or a read before tea.

It's a big day tomorrow, so we'll have a last team meeting tonight and we'll be ready to put our best foot forward for Wakari School and Dunedin tomorrow!
