The Saturday just gone, as it was a bit wet we had to find a rainy day option and decided that the Oceanarium in Bournemouth would be ideal. Went online to their web site and found they had some offers on to save a few more pennies, 25% it shouts out loud.
A quick click on the link brings up a Spanish web site. Hmm, strange I thought but then I recall that it was part of a larger group of leisure businesses.
On trying to pay, the site went to that blasted Barclaycard ePDQ service. My client's from work have complained about that service in the past. So, I clicked the button and waited, and waited and waited. the thing timed out and I was left with the forlorn web browser window.
We still went there in the end and they were doing some discount on two adults together but not as much as the online price. Not impressed. Pants.
Going around the tanks we spotted this turtle (or whatever) seemingly stuck underneath a tree root thing in the tank. There was skin coming away form its legs but we didn't know if the poor thing was trapped and had been trying to scrape its way out and ended up peeling its skin away or if it was just natural moulting.
We eventually found a member of staff and informed them. Hope it is OK now. All I can remember was looking at its face and it then closed its eyes. I thought, oh no, that was its last moment, but its spooky eyes opened again.
