Birmingham Sightseeing

So here we are on our last leg of our UK trip... After exiting Sealife Birmingham, we wandered out onto the canals. And what a pleasant walk it turn out to be... 

Perfect reflection...


As it was past lunch, with ungry tummy's... we started looking for food around river side. Our stop? Slug and Lettuce...
A certainly well nourished lunch!



From there on, we made our way to the Brimingham New Street Train Station.





And finally a quick visit to John Lewis store and of course, how can missus miss the embroidery section? :P
The End.

Sealife Birmingham, UK

 Naturally, any city with an Aquarium HAD to be visited by yours truly with Little One.

Like so...


"Hello There Traveller!!!"


Next up: Puffer Fish

Lion Fish
Cow Fish
This small little tunnel had Little One crawling through and pretending that he was one of the clownfish as you could see them from 'inside and outside'.


Think you can spot what's hiding...?

Harlequin
Some more rays

Is that an octopus?

An overview of some of the exhibits as you snake your way down.
Sea Snakes!
Horseshoe crab
Can you spot something...???

No aquarium is complete without Jellyfish

Turtle lazily swimming by...


Leopard Shark

Posing with his favourite sharks...

What are you telling me Little One?
Or is that his peace sign?

The End.

Gyeongbokgung Palace, National Palace Museum of Korea & Going Home

Just before heading home, we visited this site: Gyeongbokgung Palace. Unfortunately, while it looks nice and sunny, it isn't! It...
