Approximately 50 km from Tsukuba, Ooarai is a seaside town where people usually go in the summer. Other than swimming and sun-bathing, tourist attraction facilities such as Ooarai Aquarium and Ooarai Sun Beach Water Theme Park pull crowds to this small city. Near - yet so far. It took one and a half hours to reach Ooarai. Indeed, traffic moves slowly.
We went to Ooarai Aquarium with tickets courtesy from Affendi-San. Price of a ticket is 1,800 Yen per person. It is expensive but I think it worth the money - Ooarai Aqua consists of a multi-story aquarium , an arena for dolphin-show, a watch-tower and it is located besides a beach. Getting the ticket free is a bonus.
Malisa enjoyed the dolphin show. Mikael was initially surprised by the splashes of water., giggled and hugged us hard. Overall it was a nice adventure for the kids.
Food was packed from home. We made "Nasi goreng" with "tempe" and "sambal ikan bilis" for lunch and Affendi-San brought "udon" and "tsuyu" for tea-time.
Overall it was an interesting visit. Tsukareta desuga tanoshi desu !
Before we leave, Malisa picked up a theme park's pamphlet and asserted her wishes to go there . So, we will plan for another visit to Ooarai this summer, insya Allah, if our finance allowed us and perhap's her Auntie Sue will be free to tag along.Sayounara !
