Yesterday I headed down to Portsmouth & Southsea for a day trip. It was a chance to stretch my legs, get some sea air and catch up with my friend, George, who lives down there. George met me at Portsmouth Harbour and we decided to take a stroll along to the local Sealife Centre in Southsea. It was a lovely walk, nice and flat, if a little breezy along the harbour. Unfortunately I didn't take many photos as I've fallen out with my camera (a side effect of never working out how to use it properly) but here are a few that came out okay;
When we reached the Sealife Centre I have to admit it was a little underwhelming. The displays they had were good; we were able to see reef sharks, rays and a snapper turtle but I was expecting a little more (as the sea was right next to us surely they could have a section where we could see the local sealife!). It probably took us a hour to go round, and George and I like to take our time. We've visited many animal parks together and one of the best games to play is 'find the animal' when the enclosures look empty. My favourite thing had to be the leopard eels though, they really know how to wear animal print!
