Tuesday 26th July - Inner Harbour

We all jumped on the light rail again yesterday morning to go back into Baltimore - heading for the picturesque inner harbour area.

First on the visit list was the Aquarium - where we saw a variety of marine animals including sharks! On the top level there is a mocked up rain forest with exotic birds flying around. It was a great experience culminating in a 4D cinema iMax film of ...BBC planet earth - penguins, seals & killer whales complete with vibrating seats, a punch in the back (again from the seat) and wind & snow (foam) etc to heighten the effects on top of the 3D film!

After this, the kids all went their own way, some ending up in 'Dicks Bar' - a restaurant bar that is famed for its rudeness and crudeness. Many of the kids came out with paper hats graffitied with amusing / rude captions....I'll leave it to them to tell you the details...(if they dare?!).

(my favourite was Magda's - who was wearing her hair up and hers read ' Amy Winehouse Lives' - she did look a spit.)

Some went off to lunch elsewhere / visited the science centre etc. We all had great fun and then headed back mid afternoon to a variety of events for the kids organised by their hosts while the adults had a dinner at the Shearer's delightful home....where Mr Crag got himself in a spot of bother.....as you can see.......................!!!
