Sunday May 8, Ocean Park and a Bus Tour

On Sunday we ventured to Ocean Park. It is kind of like Marineland, but larger, and built on a mountain. There are animals, including Panda bears, aquariums, with all sorts of sea life. Macy got to touch a star fish. She loved the stingrays and the sharks, and of course the Panda bears. We took a submarine ride to the top of the mountain, explored a bit, took in the aquatic show with dolphins and sea lions, and got Macy a bit of lunch. We took the cable car back down the mountain, Macy went on a few rides, and then we were all tired.
On our way home, we stopped by the ferry wharfe at Central and took an open topped sight seeing bus through the old downtown. What a trip. The streets are narrow and the density of apartments and people hard to imagine.

There are no photos at present as the hard drive is full and I cannot download from the cameras. I will add pictures when I get home
