Day 2 - Jakarta

Posted on February 8, 2010

Day 2 started with the kids waking up way before the adults! Aidan was given the nick name ‘The Little Stomper’ because he stomps around the house. After breakfast, we headed to SeaWorld Indonesia. We thought it’d be a 2-hour thing and was hoping to go for dimsum after that but we spent about 4-5 hours there instead. We were very impressed with the attractions at Sea World. There were sharks (More sharks than Aquaria  mind you and there are HUGE nurse sharks and black tipped sharks - bigger than the ones we saw while diving).  To name a few, there was a Dugong aguarium (our 1st time seeing one!!!), an eel aquarium - full of eels!, Pirahna aquarium, Sea Dragon aquarium (this is so cool! First time seeing this), a Touch Pool where you can actually dip your hand into the water to touch the baby black tipped sharks and sting rays. We went in the tunnel which cuts through the aquarium (similar to the one at Aquaria) and lots more! The kids had fun. We adults were impressed at the place and at the same time happy that the kids had fun. I’ll let the pictures do the talking - although the pictures that  I took did not do the place any justice whatsoever.

How cool is this Touch Pool? We got to touch sting rays and baby black-tipped sharks!

Aidan pointing at the giant moray eel in the eel aquariam. There was loooads of them!

After the aquarium, we headed to the 4D theatre. I’ve not been to a 4D theatre before and neither have the kids and we (adults) found it pretty cool! The kids were terrified though…..

Next, we headed to watch the live show. There were sea lions, dolphins and whales….

After the live show, we headed over to the rides section. Notice the bag? It’s actually meant for me but Hubs carried it for me instead. It had all the kids’ essentials in there. Anyway, yes,  I got another handmade  bag made for me by Sasha….You can read about it in my shopping blog.

Wanna guess why Ashley was upset?

Cause KP, Aidan and I went on this ride and she wanted to ride on another ride. After much tantrum throwing, Hubs walked her over to the other ride…

Our host and hostess, EK and KP Thanks guys!!!!

There are actually more stuff to be done at SeaWorld but we were tired then and decided to head back. For dinner, we ate at a Korean restaurant called Chung Gi Wa restaurant. Lots of Koreans customers there too - which only mean one thing right? That the food is yumylicious!

At the end of the day, the kids slept and we had some time to lounge in front of the tele while sipping on our hot drinks.

That’s it for Day 2:)
