Oceanarium & Guincho beach - Tribe holiday 2018 - Portugal

Leticia, Kirsten and I took all our kids to the Oceanarium in Lisbon. We took the coastal drive from Guincho. It's a stunning coastline. No photos sadly as I was driving, but it's beach after beach. Forts, old buildings, interesting architecture and all of it has a really good feel about it. 

When we got there, we saw sea otters... they are SO cute... 


There was one HUGE tank right in the centre of the Oceanarium... full of sharks and fish. There was one very gruesome looking great white, with huge teeth... also sun fish (called moon fish in Portuguese) and loads more...



The kids had fun... 



Penguins too.... leaving trails of illuminated bubbles in their wake. 


Leticia and her family 



There were flags from around the world outside the oceanarium so we tried to guess as many as we could.... luckily it told us the country underneath each flag. 


Then we took a walk to the beach with the kids to the bum slide. There are beautiful protected dunes here and we took the nature walk. 



It's a very beautiful coast line and there is hardly anyone here. 



The kids have been having a lot of fun! Luki loves it! 


Sleeping babies - it's lovely waking up and looking at their little faces while they sleep!




This sandy hill was the aptly named 'bum slide', there is a small channel of water that obviously leads to the ocean. It is all perfect for the children. 



A rare photograph with all seven of our children.


Leticia's three children, Alex, Ayla and Arthur. 


Miles plays in the hammock with Alex and a little Danish friend they both made. 



Caden is playing with the little kids again. He is a very good big brother.
