Marineland France - 20th February 2004

We arrived at the park at 10:20 and I went to the seals and sea lions, because yesterday they were draining their pool, and I wanted to see if they were still draining it. I then went to the orcas and I watched Valentin and Inouk practise their tricks. I watched the show, and stood by the slide, so I could watch them slide out on it. When the show had finished Freya, Sharkane and Wiki were doing laps, until Freya then went back the side pool. Wiki and Sharkane continue laps, whilst I watched from the glass, until a trainer came to collect the fish buckets, and Wiki and Sharkane came right to the glass! I waved my stuffed orca in front of the glass and then Wiki stuck her tongue out!! She was so cute! The trainer then left and Wiki stayed a little longer, but then she went off to Sharkane. I then left the park at 1:00.

Marineland France - 17th February 2004

We arrived at MLF at 10:30 and I went straight to the orcas. Wiki was in the show pool, Kim was in the back pool, Inouk was in the med pool, Valentin and Freya were in the side pool and Sharkane was in the middle pool. I waited at the stadium until the show started and watched Wiki practise her tricks. Then when the show started, I videoed it, whilst my dad took pictures. We then went to the restaurant by the pools and I watched Freya and Val do laps in the back pool, once I'd finished, my lunch. We went to the Sharks, who were so cool! Then we headed to the penguins, Seals, Sea lions and Dolphins. My mum and dad watched the Dolphin Show, whilst I went back to the orcas. I went to the back pool, and watched Sharkane and Wiki do laps, for a few hours. I started whistling and all the orcas started whistling too!! Wiki was so cute, when she was getting on the slide, and sometimes slipping off! Then I went to the 4:15 show, and this time my dad filmed and I took the pictures. After the show I went to the Jellyfish and aquarium, and then left the park at 5:20.
