Marine World.

On Friday the elementary school took a field trip to the uShaka Marine World in Durban. We had a guided tour of the aquarium, learning about different fish and sharks as well as seeing the dolphin show. We ended the day by spending some time playing on Africa's largest jungle gym! As our students rarely have anything to actually play on (in West Africa they have some flat dock space, and here they have the Amphitheater, but no actual play structures), they enjoyed running around and climbing in and out of the different tubes. The whole thing was shipwreck themed, complete with a giant sand pit and a pirate treasure cave in which the kids played hide and seek. There was also a Lego building section. Needless to say, it was obvious they all enjoyed the playground much more than the aquarium :) All in all, it was a fun (albeit exhausting!) day for both kids and adults.
