This was the part of my trip I was most looking forward to – in fact, it was my main reason for going!
I’ve always wanted to go to Marineland, and I was so excited to finally get the chance!
Unfortunately, my camera died about halfway through.. (I even remembered to bring my charger along on my trip, but conveniently forgot to use it before heading to Marineland.. damn!
) But that’s okay, because I still got a whole bunch of pictures!
A beautiful orca whale! (aka Killer Whale) It was apparently his birthday that day! We all sang Happy Birthday to him, with all of the little kids singing the loudest, of course.. it was super cute!
Then he swam around and splashed everyone with his tail! I knew that was going to happen (so I bought a towel from the gift shop ahead of time
), but I didn’t realize how strong the force of his splash would be! I wasn’t even standing in the front row, but I got splashed so hard that it knocked my sunglasses right off my face! I was DRENCHED! Here’s a picture taken about a half hour after the splashing.. it really doesn’t do the situation any justice though.. I was already almost dry by then!
It’s a good thing it was so warm out that day, so my clothes dried pretty quickly
I’m also happy that I opted to wear flip flops, so I didn’t have to walk around with soggy socks for the rest of the day!
(unlike my friend, who was very uncomfortable and even ended up having to throw away his black Nike shoes because they got completely ruined from the saltwater) So that’s my tip to anyone who decides to go to Marineland… WEAR SANDALS!
