[Amelie]: Awesome Aquatica

On Saturday we went to Aquatica. Aquatica is a fun water park and we are able to come back here too. 
At the start we saw some dolphins, they seemed quite small as they looked like Orca whales, but they were Commerson dolphins. We had a chat with their keeper about how long they held their breath, which was 10 mins. 

We first went into the wave pool and we played in there for a bit and then we saw another pool that had some flumes that needed inflatables for 2 people. Ben and I found an inflatable, Ben found the first one and I found one when we went back. The person who was not so tall had to go in front, which was me, and Ben was in the back. It was quite hard, as people wanted to cross the flumes and you had to be careful about people being at the bottom.


We also went to the very big flumes, there were lots of stairs to the top and I got quite tired. When it was our turn to go I was a bit nervous and excited.  We went down head first, holding onto a mat. When the man says 'Get Set Go' You push down and off you go. I didn't really know what was happening in the flume tunnel. Mummy and I started on flumes side by side in the middle and ended up apart at either side at the bottom, this is because the flumes wiggled so much.


Then we went to the lazy river, it's pretty lazy. You have something on that helps you float along. There were also currents pushing you along and I noticed people going faster along the edges so I went along the edge as the current was faster there, which was fun. Daddy had to swim fast to catch me. But it was difficult to swim out of the currents. Then we went back to shore, just as everyone was called out of the water, because of a storm coming.
Then we went back to the pool with the double inflatables, where I found an inflatable for Ben and me. The red flume was the shortest but it pushes you faster and the yellow flume was longer. 
Then we went home.
