李謨謨三歲前夕包山包海趴趴走-3






This day was the highlight of our trip.
We were going to sleep with the belugas in National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium!
After my grandma's giant breakfast, we were on our way to Kenting, the mini tropical paradise in Taiwan where I had a long stay for almost a year.
We arrived the aquarium just in time for the starting of our two-day journey.

16:00-17:00 Life Forms in Intertidal Zones
Unfortunately we didn't really see anything in this restricted area. Mo was more interested in throwing rocks.

17:10-17:50 Guided Tour through Coral Kingdom Pavilion
As I traveled with an old one who thinks Chinese is stupid and a young one who only pays attention to her mommy's private interpretation, I tried my best to listen to what our guide said. Eventually three of us were complete outsiders. Still it was pleasant enough to just stare at those fishes. Mo gave each one of them a name.

17:50-18:40 Dinner

18:40-19:30 Secrets in Working Areas
It was interesting to visit where the staffs actually work. As long as there were opportunities to feed or touch something. Mo got really excited. We fed the jellyfishes with tiny shrimps and the tropical fishes with small shrimps. Touching a jellyfish made us laugh for hours.

19:30-20:10 DIY Activity
It was Mo's favorite! Mo made the big fish. I made the small fish. I felt that Mo was all grown up in these few days. She went out of the room alone asking for more clays. We were both so proud when Mo showed me the clays she got in her little fat hand. Here came the tears again.

20:10-20:50 Late Night Adventure in Coral Kingdom Pavilion
We went back to the totally dark aquarium to see the difference between day and night with flashlights. We had fun finding naughty fishes which weren't sleeping.

20:50-22:10 Shower and Dessert

We made our beds in the underwater tunnel with two belugas swimmming above us.
Thanks to the excellent choice that Mo made, we were VIPs in this area that night.
I believed everyone would have thought of "Night at the Museum" at this moment.
The Aquarim at night did have a magical power.
We were thrilled and Mo therefore went to the toilet 10 times in two hours.
Mo fell asleep talking and asking all the questions about the belugas.
We could hear them sang.
This is definitely one of the best hotels I have ever stayed.
