Sharks, otters and sea dragons

I promise - this is the last Lisbon post! (As you can see, we really had a packed programme - all in just three days!)

Before heading off to the airport, we went on a cable car ride along the coast which took us to the aquarium. The oceanario is located in the Parque das Nações, which was the exhibition grounds for the Expo '98. It is the largest indoor aquarium in Europe - and well worth a visit! We didn't have much time, so had to rush through it but it was really beautiful! The penguins, the otters, the sharks and most of all the seadragons. Unfortunately, my photos didn't come out great. If you are ever in Lisbon, I highly recommend a visit!

Otters chilling out (and still moving too fast to get a good photo...)
