Hunstanton Sea Life Sanctuary

The real reason why I suggested Sunny Hunny for our day trip was that Little Miss had been asking for ages to go to an aquarium. She loves fish almost as much as she loves horses (and unicorns, but I've not managed to find any to take her to see yet). We were there to visit the Sea Life Sanctuary.

Be sure to check out special offers and discount vouchers online before you go. The sea-life displays are excellent. This was my favourite...

But they've also got some open top displays one with rays and another with starfish and urchins that you can touch.

Outside they have penguins, otters and seals, all of which you can watch being fed at different times. Here are the otters watching out for their food...

The seals are pretty friendly...

And then there's the Shark Tunnel...

where you can see them swimming over your head. The kids thought it was fantastic, but by now they were hungry.

It was before Little W was born that we were last in Hunstanton, but Cassie's family restaurant...

...is still there and we ate there again, served by he same waitress! Excellent food too.

Then it was off to stock up on rock and have an ice-cream before heading off to Sandringham for an afternoon walk. Yes that was a good day out and we all slept well that night!
