Managed to get Jase up relatively early – with a dodgy weather report decided it would be a good day to go to Sea world. So we headed towards there – missing the turn off (who’d have thought to turn right you had to be in the left lane). Got in there and headed straight to the polar bears… unfortunately we got there and there was no bears – only sea gulls!! Just when I was set to move on to something else, there was a bear!! It was apparently breakfast (or mid morning snack) time. So I got lots of photos of a bear finding all the treats left hidden around the enclosure for him. At one stage he almost caught a sea gull who was getting too close to his bone – though he looked like he wasn’t trying too hard – leaping out the water at a seagull on a log but not super speedy. After almost filling up my first memory card – moved on to look at fish.
Walked past some people doing the swim with the sharks, though I think they were only with 1-2 sharks. At the next tank/area there were heaps of sharks.. they should have gone in there 
Took a few photos of the fish until some screaming kids took over the underwater viewing area.
Kept walking until we met with a sea of people heading the other way. Think it was the dolphin show finishing up. So we turned around – found a locker and went on the roller coaster and pirate ship.. then the roller coaster again. They were in the process of building a “jet ski roller coaster” – maybe fun but seemed at the tame level that sea world seemed to be striving for (especially with its big sesame street area instead of trying to build a new thrill ride). Went back and got our stuff – back to the polar bear enclosure for some more photos of the bear there. He was being a little more active now that a lot of his food was gone and was playing with a bone. Even sat on his hind legs holding the bone posing for photos. Awesome!!! From there it was on to the souvenir shops – got sad that they didn’t have a Jen or Jennifer polar bear mug (they only had a Jenny).. and annoyed that they had a Jason polar bear mug – ended up getting a little polar bear on a key ring.. well not so little given he was on a key ring but very cute 
Was tempted to buy the polar bear foot cushion but resisted. Jase bought himself a stubby holder.
From there we headed back to our hotel for fish and chips again. This time wasn’t as good as the day before with the chips being undercooked.
We then wandered around Cavill Avenue for a bit – getting cinammon doughnuts. mmmm!! Back to the hotel to admire my polar bear photos with the new multi purpose lense and my zoom lense. That night we had dinner at the Teppanyaki grill place downstairs (though not at the actual grill). Was ok but nothing special. Got the Kamikaze special which was steak, prawn + chicken. Also got vegies, steamed rice & miso soup.
