London - sabbatical 2, week 4
No trip to a new city would be complete without a visit to the aquarium. The Sea Life Centre is next to the London Eye (and Shrek's Adventure!) and is laid out similar to Toronto and Barcelona. There are large tanks of reef sharks, clownfish, etc. etc. In this case, the highlights were the especially large sea turtles and penguins. Sorry, I mean penguins! (how can you not put an exclamation mark there?)
From Andrew and David's point of view, though, the aquarium was merely to pass time before our appointment with the London Eye. It is always busy but the operators still saw fit to prepare a Royal Pod for the Jubilee, which was full of flowers and royal bunting, but no passengers (perhaps because they were at Wimbledon - more on that later). The view from the apex of the wheel was, of course, spectacular.
