In late June, me and Ly HAD to take a roadtrip to the aquarium on the Sunshine Coast. Mainly because I really wanted to go to the aquarium because I missed seeing all the fishies at the Sydney and Singapore aquariums. If you didn't know me, I absolutely LOOOOOVE aquariums. And goldfish.
But anywhoooo, we've talked about going on this trip a while back and since I was on holidays from uni we made it happen >:) I've never actually been on a road trip before, so this was all oh so totally new to me. And to be honest, it wasn't really a road trip since it was only an hour or so drive BUT NONETHELESS it counts because it was so much fun and oh so special to me.
I think Picasa messed up the pictures that were uploaded because the pictures from that morning and missing from this blog post. But in the morning, we stopped by Mos Burger and lost our Mos Burger virginities together, yay! And by 'virginity', I mean never-had-it-before-lets-try-it-together sort of thing. And since I managed to be late (grr, I hate being late!) we had to eat the burgers in the car.
The burgers were so so yummy but there was so much sauce. Half of the trip was spent feeding each other, finding tissues and spots of sauce all over his shirt/my dress. That sentence sounded kind of dirty.
I even brought my SLR camera with me to take purty pictures. Despite the fact that thing is heavy as bricks.
Oh look, picasa decided to upload the photo from Mos Burger. No burgers in this picture though :(
To the Sunshine Coast!
After paying the admission fee they gave us these super awesome shark stamps! They were so AWESOME. I wish they were printed darker though, you can't really see them :(
I think this fish is called a lion fish? I don't know, but it looks like a lion and I've heard that they're deadly poisonous.
And so are rock fish. I'm pretty sure this is a rock fish.
I would make a pretty horrid marine biologist.
And Ly wore the shirt I got him too! So cheesy I wanna punch him in the face.
As a sign of affection, of course.
(I apologise for any violence.)
AND SEALS. SEALS EVERYWHUURRR
And cute squeaking otters that smelled like tuna! I never noticed but otters kind of look like cats. And did you know they hold hands when they sleep? They do it in case they drift away from each other in the currents while they sleep. How cute is that? :O
Discus fish I think? So colourful
And matching mood rings! His stayed green and blue all the time, which stood for relaxed and calm? And mine was ALWAYS purple. Romance. Bah.
And then we watched the seal show! They were so cute, balancing balls and doing flips and jumps!
But sad story of the day, I wanted a seal kiss and a photo from the seals but being the OCD person that I am, I refused to take the photo by myself and wanted Ly in the picture with me but nooooooo, the seals are trained to be in the picture with one person only and otherwise they might get distracted or something something. Whatever, but it was so sad I wanted my seal kiss!
One day, I shall return. With courage, and I shall have my seal kiss!
These seals are so talented. They put me to shame D:
And after cruising around the aquarium, we walked along the pier and did awesome stuff. We visited the candy shop and since the aquarium wasn't as big as we expected, we found a place called the 'Bellingham Maze' and it is the coolest thing ever.
Seriously, best date.
It's a hedge maze.
Oh my god.
-dead-
Sadly, picasa is being a poo and not uploading the rest of the my pictures but it was a real hedge maze. The maze was sort of lacking greenery here and there but seriously it was the best adventure ever! Upon purchasing tickets, they would hand you a pencil and a riddle puzzle to solve. Snow White's dwarves are hidden in the maze and you had to find their names matching to the colour of their hats so you could find the missing letters to solve the riddle.
'It's dangerous to go alone, take this!'
ermahgerd it was just so awesome, running around the maze and counting all the dead ends. It's really nice to just go somewhere and get lost, you know? We did find Snow White, a windmill and some giant mushrooms. I wish the photos would upload but they're not. Damn.
One day, I would like to go back to that maze. It really was one of the best experiences :)
