Summer Stories - Day 3 In Hull, swimming for fishes

Oh dear, day 3 has finally arrive, marking the last day of our summer trip! Saddening as it was, we still enjoyed ourselves fully, stuffed till we exploded (well, not really boomed~) and saw many great things! Back to the trip, a visit to Hull is incomplete without visiting the famous underwater museum, 'The Deep'.

Don't let the shabby exterior fool you, cause like I said, it's underwater. For those doofus out there, that means underground as well! (all pun intended, sorry for those who didn't get it! Wa-ri :D)

Well, the admittance was a tad costly but it was worth the 5 hour tour. Inside, you'll be able to find jellyfishes of all colors, starfishes, Sharks, Manta rays, octopus, sea snakes and so many more! You name it, you've got it! Truly an aquatic paradise, and that's still an understatement. Equipped with the latest science gadgets and gizmos as well as mini games, the museum hopes to let kids enjoy the tour experience to its fullest and yet still able to learn about aquatic life as well. Man, they should actually pay me for doing free promotions for them.

Sadly to say, those fancy devices and stuffs were aimed for 8 to 15 year olds. Heck, we are about the ages of 21 till 25, and yet we don't care! XD

Back to retrospec, enjoy the following pics =)

First thing on display, Live action of 2 seahorses making out! Aww~

Up next, colour displays by the jellyfish platoon =)

How can something icky be so elegant!

Giant Yellow Sea snake trying 'hard' to blend in, LOL

After the Aquatic museum was the maritime museum back at the heart of the city centre. But before going into the place, some random graffiti on the ground caught our attention

The Hull Maritime Museum

For those who do not know what maritime is, please look it up =)

Graffiti by the local kids

Now, that was 10 mins of my life gone wasted, haha! Back to this particullar museum, it houses displays on fishery, sea hunting, and the various ships that once docked in this once glorious fishing port. Not much to describe here, cause I've been blogging for 4 hours and am sleepy at the moment. XD

Skeleton left behind from hunting a 'Right Whale'

Called 'Right' cause it was the right size of the right type to catch

Stuffed Polar Bear

and the skeleton remains.... ;-(

Man, the poor baby didn't want to depart from the mum, even after she's dead..

Too many ship models to show, so just gonna show a few of them...

Well, besides looking at antiques, we still had to fool around right? :D

Notice that this dog doesn't have any tail at all! O.o

Woo-kie! With the museums done, we finally headed out for lunch! And oh-boy were we HUNGRY! Try walking and touring for hours without eating! And, no, 'makan angin' does not count! (Lame sia!).

Lunch was at Princess Quay (pronounced as Princess Key) which is the largest mall in Hull and sorta felt like 1U's new wing. Even though it was a Sunday, we didn't get to order their famous sunday roasts as they ran out of vegies. Heck, who need vegies right? Still the chef insisted that he would not cook if some of the core ingredients. Go figure~~~

Next up on the menu's choice was pizza. Well, good enough for me!

(lol-ed when we notice that we went to York the day before and didn't even try any famous York Puddings!)

Bought this from the perfume shop right before lunch. High time that I needed one.

Some say it smells like Beckham's sweat, LOL!

Simple Lunch

Once we finished lunch, we we only had 20 mins to rush to the next location, which was Fort Paull. The upside, according to history, some airplane crashed into the middle of the fort and no explosions or lost of lives occured? The downside was, we arrived like 10 mins after the supposed last entry time. Extreme bummer indeed...

Instead, we just went touring the country side, admiring the landscape before heading back to Notts for Kebab and Curry Rice! And thus ends my first summer holidays~

and finally, Ciaoz! Signing off,

~L'Heure Bleue~
