We had good fun in Seaworld today with the killer whales , the dolphins , the otters , the dogs , the cats , the parakeets , the sea turtle etc.
Started off after completing yesterday's sleep. A vacation is a run away from alarm clocks and schedules - so we started off quite late and reached the park around 11 AM for the Otter show.
Clyde and Seamore Take Pirate Island
-------------------------------------------------
That is the name of the show when I still have the brochure handy. It has some good humor - the good thing was the otters had the main role to play - nodding their heads , grunting etc - the kind of stuff that kids would love.
One Ocean
---------------
Next we went to the killer whale show - we sat in the front rows , the splash zone. This was the most anticipated one and this is the most memorable one. We arrived a little early for the show to make sure we got good seats and we took the ambitious front row seats risking drenching ourselves , risking the camera. Before the show began, there were presentations on ocean species and the attempt to instill in the viewers a love and concern for one ocean.For example,one did you know was that cuttlefish can look in front with one eye and behind with the other.I fell for it.
Then the show began, Shamu waved fins to the cheers of the audience.He and his group does somersaults , splashes water on the audience, lifts tail to invite claps, slides into a podium and does a rotation.
Blue Horizons
------------------
I may not have had been able to enjoy the one ocean completely because I was too busy photographing. So I decided not to photograph the blue horizons which was supposedly the best show as per our friends Jacob and Minnie who had visited the sea world last saturday.It was a great experience too.Dolphins did much more acrobatics than the whales did I guess.The show also featured some pretty good theme-based acrobatics from men and women attired in bird-colored costumes and the birds themselves flying off through to culminate the acrobatics.
Pets Ahoy
-------------
This was a sweet good humored show with cats,rats,dogs,doves etc. This was the one that Niya enjoyed the most. A killer whale doing the same somersault over and over again does not hold her attention as the varied scripted sequences that was presented in the Pets Ahoy show.
TurtleTrek
--------------
In a dome shaped 3D theatre, the journey of a sea turtle into the world starting from within a egg is shown. Interestingly, if we heard it right - the name of the sea turtle was Niya. This was essentially similar to the experience in the world of coca-cola,Atlanta but unlike one, this had some truth to it, some content to it.It is about how a sea turtle was rescued by the sea-world team 20 years back.
Inspite of taking no rides, the walk through the sun was tiring and we returned half an hour before the park closed at 6 PM.
Disney downtown
-----------------------
We had to have dinner and we wanted to make the day a little more eventful - so we drove to disney downtown.
Passage to India
----------------------
On the way, we saw an Indian restaurant - 'Passage to India' where we had 'Fish Balti' and basmati rice.Divya ranked this as the best food ever had in the US. It was made spicy as per our request and was indeed great.
We continued on to the disney downtown and bought one lego set. The shops started closing off at 11 PM and we drove back.
