My Scarlet Diary

One sunny day we went to Benalmadena. There we went to a Zoo, wich was a bit more like a sea-center. Of course there were not just fishes. First we visited some cute little monkeys, we could go inside their cages, but was not allowed to touch them. Then we went to see some pinguines, they were behind a glass, and was really cold, even snowed there. But they enjoyed it, and swam really close. We have seen some gigantic turtles too, and my mom said, they can live up a hundred years or more. But the best part of the whole zoo was the dolphin pool. That was amaising! First we saw some seals, who tried to sing and this was very funny. But then comes the doplhins. All the seven were just beautiful. They did superb jumps, breathtaking saltos and also swam beautifully. But that was not the only one show in the zoo – there were also a parrot show, with colourful birds. And they were very clever too - at the beginning one said „wlcome” and at the end they said „goodbye”!

You would expect Spain to be sunny. Well – that is not the way it welcomed us. When we landed the sun was hidden with a coat of white fluffy clouds and raindrops pitterpattered down everywhere. But I don't complain, because Spain is a beautiful place, no matter what the weather is. The orange trees down the streets, the big bushes of exotic flowers and the sweet smell of the sea. Did you know that palm trees can live up to 200 years? Incredible! What else is so incredible? That parrots fly free on the streets. Ok, not the big red ones but they are really sweet. They are green with little red beaks and sing on the top of the palm treet. Not that sweet kind of song like the nightingales though.
