Atlantis, Day 2

Today, our main goal was to walk on the beach and in the ocean. On our way there, we saw a few spectacular things. Right after we took this picture, we looked down into the pool and there were sea turtles swimming around. We sat and watched them for a while and then headed into a place they call "the cave" and saw some small hammerhead sharks and coral fish in a large aquarium area that extended for a good while. We also got behind a waterfall and there was a turtle there and we decided to pet it. Afterwards, we walked out of the cave and out onto a patio with live music and the ocean as a backdrop. Having made it there, we walked for a while and then did some exploring of the grounds of Atlantis. Along the way we found many pools with waterfalls, water slides galore, a huge man made lagoon, the Mayan Temple with the shark tank slides, a huge underground aquarium that was a tunnel containing all kind of sharks and fish called the 'predator tunnel' and multiple pools containing rays and other fish and sharks. That night, we explored the Marina Village and were wowwed by all the huge yachts that were docked there and some neat local performers.

This fish was as interested in Clayton as he was in it.
