Feeding the Turtles


Each turtle has their own flag… and when the turtles see them they swim to the feeding platform.

Gotta love the Aquarium


A visit to the aquarium on a rainy day is just about the best outing that Cape Town has to offer…

Always check at the entrance to see what time they will be feeding the inhabitants of the aquarium, you really want to be their to see all the action…
