Brighton with Uncle Badger!

We got up late, so Mr Badger said we should all go to the Brighton Sealife Centre. Mom and I jumped into the tiny car of Mr Badger and off we drove to the sunny seaside town of Brighton.

When we arrived we had lunch, I had a vegetarian breakfast, and then we went to the Sealife Centre. The Sealife Centre is a very old underground sea aquarium. Mr Badger said it was over 100 years old! In there we looked at Turtles, Pollock, Moray Eels ( they have very sharp teeth like a Badger ), Dogfish, and Catfish (they looked like chubby sausages with tiny eyes and droopy whiskers ) and something called a Mantis Shrimp who was kept all alone because he was visciuous and like punch other fish.

They also had a amazon rainforest like the wax museum in Newport, Oregon. It was a confusing because to make it look bigger they used lots of mirrors which confused people ( but not the Badger ).

We went on to the wait tank the had a theatre and a huge pool which had giant turtles, fish , and different colored big sharks. There was a transparant underground tunnel where we could look up at the fish. We saw exhibits of an Octopuses Beak, seasnakes and mommy was admiring a 'splendid eel' and a color changing cuttlefish who was very poisonous.

Outside the main aquarium I played on a slide with my cousin Henry.

I then bought a sealife centre badge with a seal on it.

And Mr Badger bought an ice cream with 'badger ears' which are two chocolate sticks, although Henry did steal one.

We ended the day by having scones, clotted cream, jam and a big pot of team.
