Cattolica aquarium


The following morning after our arrival weather is absolutely unsuitable to go on the beach so I ask Momochan if she wants to go to see Cattolica Aquarium as I know she loves fishes so much and she enthusiastic gives her approval :)
Cattolica Aquarium
is a big acquarium not so far from where we are, full of pools with every kind of fishes and sharks and there is also (like in Genova Acquarium) a special pool for kids where they can touch fishes, it is ful of little mantas and water is just 30 cm deep so kids can put their hands inside and reach the animals. From the hotel where we are now is 60 km, one hour travel, everything goes ok until we arrive, before I can park the car Momichan throws up !!! GOSH !!! her dresses, car seat and pelouche get all dirty !!! what a mess and poor baby !!! Poor me too, because I do not have a change for her except a nappy, so I clean her the best I can with paper towels, I close the car and we direct 400 meters in the nearby where there are some shops, in one of them selling swimming items and toys, I find a cute Hello Kitty pink t-shirt and a nice pair of pants. Coming back to the car there is an hotel so we get inside and I ask the clerk if I can use the bathroom. Luckily Momichan is little enough to be washed inside the sink and there is paper enough to dry her.
I normally carry a bag with a complete change, nappies and towels, bottle and everything but recently I thought she was big enough to stay half a day without taking all with us also at home we have gone many places without taking a change of dress with us and is not just luck, it was just unlunck today but anyway she has gained a new Hello Kitty shirt and she was very happy.
Entering the acquarium zone is something like a big open space with four main buildings, in the middle of the space there is a coffee place, a restaurant, a small pond and garden where ducks go free around. We saw sharks, turtles, mantas, jelly fish, tropical fishes and much more. Momochan was enthusiastic about that, I guess what she likes most is sea animals, she never say "no" when we propose to go acquarium :)
At noon it would have been time for lunch but we were not much hungry so we went to the coffee shop, I bought a coffee for me and Hello Kitty ice cream for Momo and we went eating outside looking at the ducks: there were many small ones, soft and yellow which Momochan likes a lot. Suddendly started to rain so hard we had to enter the coffee shop and wait until rain stopped 20 minutes later. We already had visited everything so we decided to come "home" and on the way back we stopped to visit Ikea Rimini. Momochan played and amused so much, I discovered some new products (powders for washing dresses which in our town were not yet on sell) which I bought for home and also I got a new pelouche for Momochan to play at the hotel.
We arrived back at the hotel in the evening just in time to eat dinner. Momichan had fallen asleep during the trip and continued sleeping, in the meantime I washed her dresses and car seat, after I tried to wake her up to go downstairs to the hotel restaurant to eat dinner but she wanted to sleep so I left her in her little bed, lighted the baby phone closed the door with key and went down to eat.
She slept all the time until I came upstairs 25 minutes later ^^
