Today’s activity I thought was going to be the ideal sensory activity for baby Noah. A trip to Melbourne Aquarium. I’d last been to the aquarium 15 years ago, I think I must’ve come own as Dom can’t remember being there and my previous photos were just of sea creatures. Talking of photos I’m going to show you 2 of the same fish – Nemo. One from 15 years ago and one from today. The difference in quality is ridiculous – I’m not sure if the one 15 years ago was taken on a camera or some shitty phone but how technology has come along is crazy.
Back to the aquarium and my idea of a sensory experience for Noah. At the aquarium we met Moan (Simone) a very good friend of Dom and one who also did the Australian exchange back in 2004. It was really good to catch up having not seen each other for so long. So at first Noah was mesmerised by the lights and the effects on the ceiling as we made our way through the initial part of the aquarium. It was almost time for the showpiece the tunnel walkthrough, the bit where Noah would look up gazing at the fish – he was asleep! Poor thing – it’s a tough life being a 12 week old. Non the less we got the chance to see some cool sea life and Noah did get to see the penguins 😂😂
After the aquarium we hit a rooftop bar for a pizza and glass of wine. Followed by a wonder to the shops and a chilled afternoon. The ability to just relax has been the one. The whole purpose of coming to Australia was to see Dom, Stricko, their families and now Baby Noah. It was never to explore for 10 hours of the day and feel exhausted for the rest of eternity as on reflection that’s how New Zealand made me feel. Being non stop for 2 weeks had officially exhausted me – it was incredible but gee whiz it took a lot of my energy 😂😂.
