S1 - Ep 446 - Two Oceans Aquarium Cape Town!

Our trip to the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town was a long-awaited adventure fuelled by the constant allure of watching marine life and ocean activities from our apartment. The anticipation in the car as we made our way to the Aquarium was palpable. It had been quite a few years since our last visit, 20 to be exact, and the excitement was infectious. Upon arrival, the charm of the penguins stole our hearts as they were being fed, their adorable antics leaving us captivated. The sharks, though initially intimidating, proved to be less threatening than their usual portrayal, yet their presence added a thrilling edge to the experience. The variety and vibrancy of the fish and other marine animals on display were nothing short of spectacular. Overall, our visit to the Two Oceans Aquarium was a delightful and memorable experience, making it a definite must-see for anyone exploring Cape Town. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our time there. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #twooceansaquarium #capetown

    Thank you for another wonderful video! I absolutely loved sharing your visit to the aquarium. Your feathered friend at the restaurant was a female red-winged starling, and it was lovely to hear that the staff are gentle with them. I look forward to your next adventure.

    Reminds me quite a lot of the Durban Aquarium (at the Ushaka Marine Park down on the beachfront). I think Ushaka is a bit more recent - "built for the tourists that didn't come in 2010" - apart from for the World Cup matches -- and understandably. The cylindrical jellyfish display, for instance, is just about the same. Makes me think maybe you can get certain displays from "the big-aquarium shop" somewhere in, say, Germany. So that means I think it's fantastic, BTW. Went to a nice, smaller aquarium in Düsseldorf, Germany, once, quite a long time ago, and enjoyed it for the different angle they took. They had a much bigger freshwater section than you get in a normal seaside aquarium, with a really fascinating Amazon section (small, but very interesting). OK, so maybe I just love aquariums, then? I think your "back garden" has pretty much a lifetime's worth of interesting stuff to see. Should keep you occupied for quite a while. Watch out for all the "semigrants" that then come heading your way. Edit: If you want to hear the story of a lobster who escaped the cooking pot, I think you'll love *Keeping a Grocery Store Lobster as a Pet* (he's still alive, and his name is now Leon). kzread.info/dash/bejne/a6d9mbmvlbGdps4.html

    Thank you, I'm very glad to hear you enjoy our videos! 🤩 We travel exclusively for fun and no other reason. I don't see us ever making videos in favour or against any particular place, that's just not our vibe. We show a place as we find it on the day of our visit and should anyone be interested in any further info, they should research and visit themselves. 🤷🏻‍♂️ All the best with your health journey. 😊

    Pieter, the gentleman we spoke to on camera, is a volunteer at the Aquarium and he explained that the sunfish we enquired about, was released because it wasn't doing well in captivity and they do switch out the older animals for younger ones in some of the tanks. I'm no expert in marine life, but after having visited and seeing the passion with which the folks go about their duties, my mind is at ease that should any living organism in their facility suffer, it will be released. The sunfish was a great attraction about 20 years ago, but was released for its own well-being. It is also worth noting the extent they go to to make sure that it is recorded exactly how many fish each African penguin eats in order to determine behavioural changes. While I'm not a fan of animals in captivity, I feel good about this place and our children and us would know so little about these creatures if it weren't for places like these. 😍🐡🦀🐟🦈🪼🦑🦞
