We began the day with a small Easter egg hunt (courtesy of the eggs Grandma sent) and a small worship service in our cottage.
Then, our destination today was the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town. The kids enjoyed the large variety of sea creatures. There was a touch exhibit that provided the opportunity to touch, among other animals, a starfish and an urchin. Between lunch and the shark feeding at 15h00, we went to a "scratch patch" where the kids could select polished stones to fill a bag. Mark and Tracy did mini golfing in a cave while I walked Catherine on the V&A Waterfront to try to get her to nap. (I was unsuccessful.)
The shark feeding was really interesting. Mark was in the front row, as close as possible to the action. He saw the ragged-tooth sharks eating hake and yellow-tail. He saw the rays eating squid and other small fish. And, he saw the turtles responding to their red and white/black targets.
We're staying in Constantia, which is just across the M3 from Meadow Ridge. Prior to our departure for the Waterfront, I took a run past our old house on Fleming Way.
Tomorrow, Mark and I will hike Table Mountain and Tracy and Catherine will go to the Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden.
