Mama Cecilia posing on the boardwalk!
We had to walk 3km down the boardwalk to the aquarium, so we hired some rickshaws for some of our ladies - fun!
After the VERY long, humid walk to the aquarium, we arrived just in time for the seal show! I know, I know, there's a million pictures of Hildah - she's kinda everywhere and the life of the party!
Me and Mama Yolantah, who is enjoying her experience to the fullest!
Aaaahhh!!! Liz was chosen to be in the seal show!!
Melvin, Mr. Cool, taking it all in!
After the seal show, we headed into the aquarium, which is in the bottom of an old ship - the staff loved going into the boat! They loved it all, but nothing more than the sharks!

Time for the dolphin show!
We tease Mama Catherine because she falls asleep at the drop of a hat - here she is waking up just in time to see the dolphins!
And then....it was time for the waterslides! Aubrey changed first and was down the biggest slide in the Southern Hemisphere before we knew it!
Blu did the big slide!
So handsome!
Blu at the top!
Blu and Wes coming down!
With about 20 minutes left to go, the housemothers FINALLY decided to try the slide! Go Mama Cecilia!
Hildah did EVERY SINGLE slide - she is the girl who is scared of everything, and she conquered her fears and did them! She kept saying, "I feel so brave!!!"
Here come the housemothers!
Mama Loveness
Mama Tembo
Mark helping with the exit!
Yolantah coming down! She was like a little girl!
Go Mama Zelly!
Afterwards, we headed close to a beach view restaurant called Piatto for supper! We gave them a price limit, and Yolantah gave me extra money because she wanted surf & turf! She said, "This is what I came for!"
Catherine on the other hand, was NOT impressed with her "chicken and chips." She said, "This is not chicken and chips. Where is the bone? I'm from the village." LOL!
Mama Cecilia is relaxing and having fun!
Mark & Sheila ready for their pizza!
Mulenga, Miriam, and Melvin (sidenote: funniest part of the day - on the lazy river, Melvin jumped out of his inner tube and started pedaling when passing the shark tanks!)
Papa Tembo in a VERY uncharacteristic pose! :)
What a day! Thursday holds more adventures!
