Went swimming with sharks when I was on holiday! Not very big or vicious sharks though! They were about the same size as me, so about 2m long. Big enough 
There were sting ray and other fish in there aswell. Was really cool, would love to do it again 








Have other pics of animals at the wildlife park but just your run of the mill lions, elephants etc. so haven't uploaded them.
They were Nurse Sharks I think. Not dangerous unless provoked.

Was a bit nervous when I was walking into the water. Was fine once I'd got in.
Thought it couldn't be that dangerous anyway otherwise they wouldn't let you do it

Yeah I would guess that too but you can never say for certain that it wouldn't get startled or just turn on you.

Cool I stayed in that one.
Nice hotel, bit tall though.
Did you take the lift to the top? (the one they charge people if they aren't staying in the hotel)
