Whoa, Lack of Updatingness!
So it's been a while since I updated. I haven't really had much to write about this week. I had thursday and friday off of work to go do something fun with Tash, and to get away from work for a few days in general. So, thursday we took a trip to Living Coasts, which was very fun. I wasn't expecting to have as much fun there as I did, as there wasn't much to see, but it was definately better than the Paignton trip a few months back. That may be because I'm obsessed with Penguins though.
The first thing you see when getting there is the free roaming penguins, which are so cool. They have their own little beach and water area, and they can come out of it onto the boardwalk where people stand - although you're not allowed to touch them (though they are allowed to attack you!). You also get to see the penguins swimming underwater in a few places, which is very cool. After that you move onto the Auk Cliff, with some puffins and other birds. They weren't very exiting, but is was funny watching them ride the fake waves they had!
Next was the Waders' Estuary area with some cool Avocat birds and a few other random birds I don't remember the names of. After that you see the Duck Pond area, with some really scary Goldeneye's. Next we wen't down a long hill to find 3 lazy seals lying on a rock - they were like that both times we went past, nothing too exiting! After that we went over to the Macaroni Penguin Pool, with a birdy sitting on top. These penguins are so lazy compared to the others, which was kinda disappointing... We also got to see more random birdies too, then we ended up walking around more times to view everything again until the penguin feeding session, which was cool to watch. I also got some really nice pictures of Torquay Harbour.
On Friday, we also went to Crealy, which was great fun, they have a fantastic new waterslide which we stayed on for ages. We also got some pumpkins, which we carved out on Saturday evening. I then decorated mine, which was quite funny. A very nice, enjoyable weekend, shame I have to go back to work tomorrow :o(
