Last Day In Bergen 2 July 2013

Up bright and early today only problem is that weather still overcast, showered went down for breakfast,  made sure this time no problem with table being cleared. Went down spoke receptionist,  she helped work out how to find bus to the aquarium,, so why did I get lost yet again. I finally found the stop just as the bus was pulling away, unlike many british drivers he stopped for me.so off to the aquarium.  When I got there was surprised how busy it was and so many very young children,  not sure they all knew quite where they were or why.

As I arrived one of the staff was feeding some of the fish and showing a range of crabs, they all seemed quite ferocious with their huge claws,

I wandered in and first looked at a range of crocodiles, they were just lay there as if in waiting,

then onto observe different snakes both large and small, oops forgot about the penguins,  there were only a few and a they seemed to do was groom themselves,
maybe I was expecting something like Happy Feet with lots of activity,  then down in the lift to look at the tropical fish, was shocked there was Nemo plus all his family and friends,
I immediately took photos as evidence and sent as a text to my son for advice, I was tempted to rescue them, but for the large shark looking fish in the same tank,  maybe this is a good time to mention I still not heard from my son about this. I continued looking at the various tanks with  whole range of different types and colours. I then went back upstairs just in time for the feeding of the seals, quite a crowd had gathered so it was difficult to take photos as they surfaced then dived down again,  next back to the penguins,  that were so swift and graceful in the water

I was quite interested to find out that apart from some of the tropical fish many were from surrounding waters of Norway
