Well where do I start!
Today is our Discovery cove day where we lounge about in large saltwater lagoons filled to the brim with fish.

Arrived at 9.30am to be greeted by the Seaworld staff. Told where everything was. Given wetsuits for the day snorkel and masks, sunscreen (which won't harm the sealife) & towels.
We set up camp on the edge of the large superwarm lazy lagoon and river. Then went for complementry breakfast. The girls enjoyed theirs and I had too much!
Well we all got suited up and went for a lazy swim in the lagoon. Water was lovely but nothing else but humans would stand it. Lottie through away her lifevest and glad she did as the bouyancy of her wetsuit kept her afloat. Couldn't stop smiling at my girls enjoying themselves! Humbling moment.

Next we ventured into the other large lagoon...... Wow! Such an array of different fish. Some small some huge and I mean huge. Some rays were as large as pool tables. Swimming in groups an awsome site.
Also around one corner seaworld had cleverly put behind plexiglass barracuda ( which were as big as me!) and black and White tip reef sharks. So many people were getting caught out by the trickery.
We/I spent most of the afternoon just in awe, I love things like this!!
Ok now it was time for lunch. What a selection which was being provided within the cost.
Stuffed again. Free beer!!!! Excellent!
Had another swim and by this time it was time for Gracie and myself to have a swim / interaction with a dolphin. Ok so after a small talk on what to and not to do we were split into groups of about ten. We met the trainer and then we met Diago our dolphin.
Cannot describe to you the face Gracie had all the time we were with the dolphin it was lovely.
Gracie was the first to swim with it which I think will stay with her forever.
I also loved it and although diago was swimming you gently back to shore you just knew that if it wanted it could go ten times faster. Such a graceful yet powerful creature.
The interaction lasted about 40 mins and even the trainers called down Vanessa and Lottie to stroke diago and have a photo with him.
Needless to say we took the opportunity to purchase these treasured memories.





SORRY about the orientation of some of the photos!!
The afternoon flew by and we were one of the last groups to leave the park. Def would recommend to anybody although it isn't cheap.
Came back to the hotel for showers, had a bite in the hotel and set of for downtown Disney.

Lottie got pooped quickly so we all came back for an earliesh night.
Thanks for listening!
