Sea Life London Aquarium

Dear Everybody,

the first week of March is over and most days it feels like spring already. I am excited for warmer days when I can finally spend more time outside again exploring London. But for now I still try to escape the wind and rain showers inbetween enjoying every ray of sunshine we get.

So on the weekend we visited the Sea Life Aquarium. It is huge and we spent about three or four hours in there. You can find the most amazing, funny-looking, jaw-dropping and cute sea animals in there. I always love to spend a good amount of time in front of the shark tank marveling at these majestic and mysterious creatures. Another highlight for me was seeing a giant turtle gliding through the depths of blue water surrounded by colourful fish. The Auqarium also is a great place to pick up new interesting facts about the inhibitants of our oceans. The staff is friendly and willing to answer all your questions and they also give short presentations about individual species. I learned that male turtles have really long fingernails, which they wiggle in the females' eyes to impress them. Actually it helps them spreading their pheromones, hoping they will impress the female turtle. Another great fact I learned is, that if you see something blue in the sea 80% of the time it is poisonous or venomous. The coulor blue means danger in the underwater kingdom. I always like everything blue best, because it is my favourite colour, but now I know that I need to watch out.

My Sunday wasn't as exciting. I had to spent the day alone til the afternoon and because it started raining cats and dogs I pretty much sat in Starbucks all day and when Celine joined me, we went to see Thelmo Parole again at Covent Garden. He is the funniest street performer I know so far and we already saw him last week. I've been in tears laughing for 50 minutes straight during his performance. If you ever want to go out on a weekend night without spending 50 quids: go watch him! His show usually starts at about 6pm and another one at 8pm. Go give him some love, he will definitely give it back!

See you!
