We headed off to Lakes Aquarium the most of it was pretty rubbish to be honest. It was very nice set out and everything just a bit too busy and too much of a control you will walk this way and do not stop at any point feel about it.
Any way we got about half way round after the salmon and the other fish and animals (they were so easy to forget I have) there was a large otter pen with loads of breads inside (apparently) we seen nowt at all there was loads of folk waiting sitting and standing. It was too bus to stay stood around so just walked through (shame it would have been nice to see them.
Next room was well basically lots of fish I know and most I have owned or currently own slight difference been there about ten times the size ha-ha. There was some very impressive giant Piraha's it would have been great to be there at feeding time these things looked aggressive, But just like the Otters we just walked on.
We then walked in to the Rainforest was alright like but snakes and spiders just shouldn't be in a Aquirium the Pygmy monkeys were well cute though.
Not the best of pics but they were fast and it was through glass would have been loads better if they were running free.
A Tortoise is one of the other things before the main event a walk under Lake Windermere.
Well it could have been even better if they had not made us walk over the tank to get to it I thought this was a bit stupid however this silly mistake was forgiven once in the tunnel. Viewing the biggest Carp , Sterlert (type of sturgeon) Char's from underneath and up close was really good. The glass in the tunnel actually makes the fish appear 25% smaller so these are fish are massive and well worth a visit. If fish are not your thing then I'm sure you will enjoy seeing the Tufted Ducks diving its an amazing sight. Again not the greatest of pics to follow due to only using camera phone and viewing through very thick glass. Oh and fish don't pose for pictures.
When we came out the weather was a bit better so we decided to have a drive down to Furness Abbey lots of history about Monks and there power and wealth and land was learnt...... Julia knew it all! Well, heck of a lot more than me. The pictures don't do this place any justice but here are just a few of them.
We left Furness Abbey and went for a drive to go to a museum.
Even though we arrived before the closing time it was shut hmmm not good I'd tell you the name of the museum but but I can't remember as it was shut!
We drove to tescos to get our planned utensils and food so we could cook spuds in the fire.
This sounded like a great fun idea, The actual cooking was not the easiest I had built a great wee fire / oven the down side was we could not feel the heat from it so i kept fueling the fire.
The spuds were a little erm burnt the cheap cheap foil bought was probably our first mistake second mistake letting me do the fire ha-ha. I had mine out the skin but julia just scooped hers out on to a plate (wuss).
We snuggled up again and looked at the stars tonight was a lovely clear night, It was lovely and peaceful and we had a night time story read us by parents of a young lass they were camped over hundred meters away but her character voice really carried.
