This is one of the best aquariums I have experienced…. The rays would come to the surface to be petted.
My trip was delayed into the middle of the high tourist season, so I didn’t bother going to the Eiffel Tower or to the Louvre. I just walked around the city, had lunch, and then caught the train to London.
