Right opposite our B&B was Marineland, a kind of zoo/shelter for seals, dolphins, penguins, sea lions and all manner of other cute aquatic critters. We were even woken up one night by the sounds of the seals humping (or whatever that noise was!). Anyway, it was all a bit cheesy and Tali wasn't really a fan of seeing animals locked up in enclosures and encouraged to perform tricks. But the inhabitants sure were cute!
