On our way to pick up Nicholas and Nichelle we spot two young unattended children collecting coconuts from the side of a busy road!!From the 24th Floor there is a nice view over the swimming pools, courts and buildings of Tivoli Gardens where Nicholas and his Mother lives Today we are taking Nicholas to visit his favourite place, the Manila Ocean ParkThe first thing we do is queue up to go to see the performing birds, including birds of prey which is due to start soonThe plastic rain protectors have come in handy today!!It is not long before all the seats were full in the standColourful cheeky parrots start the show with placing balls in the small basketsNext the clever parrot places all the different shapes into their correct placesNicholas was certainly enjoying the birds doing their tricks!!A massive eagle flies and lands on the arm of one of the willing spectators!!More parrot tricksNext we visit the OceanariumNo shortage of fish to be seen hereThe colours of the different corals were beautifulThank goodness Nicholas is not tall enough yet to enter the tank with the sharks and fish!!Safer on the outside!!Penguin feeding time!!! After visiting the penguins we go to the fish pools to have our feet nibbled by tiny fish!!!Ric was definitely in need of a pedicure, considering how many tiny fish were attached to his feetThe fish pools were very popular with families and their small childrenThe next event to see were the performing seals! The sun was very hot, as was the humidity, however we managed to find a spot in the shade although being a distance from the stage!!On our way out we spot some families having fun in some tiny cars!!The Jeepneys are the most popular and cheapest form of transport for the locals around the busy city of ManilaAfter our visit to Ocean Park, once again our taxi driver battled with the traffic to get Nichelle and Nicholas home and us back to the hotelLater in the evening we took Nichelle and Nicholas out to dinner in the Greenbelt area
