Today we had an awesome trip to the Island Bay Marine Education Centre. Someone must have done a sun dance for us, because the weather was gorgeous (maybe a little bit chilly but that's ok!). Victor & Judy at the Centre were fantastic, showing us some awesome sea creatures - both in the rock pools outside and inside "the bait house". Check out their website:

There was a sneaky wee octopus there too who decided to move from one tank to another by squeezing through a hole. The hole was tiny, about the size of your fist. We'd seen it on you tube clips, but it was cool to see it for ourselves. He can squeeze through the hole because octopus don't have bones. Check out the video I took of it ...
