We decided a bit late and did not get there until just before noon, even though it was only a short drive. The first thing we saw was the\u00a0pirate\u00a0show as it was next to the front gate and was on in a short time. We spent a bit of money on the expensive food.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/5907841065\/sizes\/l\/in\/photostream\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10013\" title=\"2011-07-06 at 19-36-27\" src=\"http:\/\/yewenyi.net\/wpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/2011-07-06-at-19-36-27.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">After this we went to see the penguins.
