Stunning Sea Creatures at the Dubai Underwater Zoo

My point and click pocket camera is not bad at all in this shot.

Website: Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo  |   Location: Dubai Mall

Our ticket to the Dubai Aquarium includes a visit to the Dubai Underwater Zoo so Miss Luster and I decided not to waste the opportunity and money, so we took a tour as well.

I never thought I will enjoy this little trip to the Underwater Zoo but I did. I especially loved the beautiful colours, shapes and faces of the fishes. Its like watching National Geographic and Discovery Channel - Underwater Life in an Aquarium LIVE version.

So I am sharing the pictures. Enjoy!


These are stunning... loved the colours.


Turtles and fishes living together in harmony.


Wow, look at the detail... the texture, those scales, the head... and how calm the thing is.


A school of fish with yellow tails.


People were lining up get into that glass bulb.


Face to face with the lion fish.


Finding Nemo! The clown fish.


Yes, I willingly offered myself to a crocodile but I was not tasty enough so he spit me back out.


A lizard aquarium.


Have no idea what this kind of mollusk is. It looks frightening with those writhing tentacle-like mouth and extremities can suck the life out of you.


I am not sure if these are penguins or some other type of bird. Duck perhaps?


The king crab looks like he is ready to get me. Those legs are so long and strong I am sure. They can prick and can hurt terribly. But I would rather have you in my plate. Steamed.


These are ickky looking worms that resemble like little snakes. They continuously writhe, their half-buried bodies in the pebble sand without ever getting out.

The Dubai Underwater Zoo is a great place if you are into this kind of thing. I was even surprised that I enjoyed the visit myself =)

Balkan Roadtrip - Bosnia Herzegovina: Visit to Medjugorje / Medugorje

By

My friend Bubbles, whom I was travelling with in the Balkans, had a request that we stop over at Medjugorje. We got lucky because Medjugorje was on the way to Dubrovnik, Croatia, which is our next stop. Half an hour into our driving, we reached Medjugorje. Parking was not easy to find, but we struck lucky and found a space not too far away from the Saint James Church. Medjugorje or Medugorje is a world-famous Catholic pilgrimage site due to the Our Lady of Medjugorje, who claimed to have seen a series of apparitions of the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, to 6 Bosnian children at  Križevac Hill .

Walking Discoveries and Map of Porto Centre

By

Porto is a lovely, old and rough-hewn city and I have very much enjoyed my visit here last March. The city centre is easily walkable which I adore. I am a great fan of walking. Walking is actually what I do best when travelling, I walk from one square to attraction to another, and it is no secret that I indulge in food, thus after sampling different types of local delicacies, it makes me feel good that those calories are going somewhere else other than to my (bulging) stomach and (flabby) arms. However, if you are mobility challenged, there are the old world trams and modern sightseeing buses to bring you around. Map of Porto Centre Information: Porto Tourism Website Right click on the map and open in a different window and click on the map to zoom in. In this trip, I have walked sooo much. I may not have covered every nook and cranny of Porto but I have discovered many places worthy to be seen and experienced. Below are some of the major places in Porto that you will encoun...
