Baltimore

We started the day with breakfast at the 'Cloud Club' on the 12th floor of the hotel. It was the all American fry up breakfast - egg, bacon, sausages, pancakes and of course a big bowl (at least 2 litres!) of hot syrup! Well, we fortunately had a choice of fruit as well. The two ladies to our left chose a large BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato) sandwich - MINUS the L and T. Yep: they buttered two slices of bread and squeezed 10 thick slices of dripping bacon in between. We do not know if they had seconds - we left before! 

Off we went to the Baltimore National Aquarium, which was a impressive experience. We saw sharks, crocodiles, rays, parots and lots of other marine animals. Not least the dolphins, which we saw jumping and splashing at a special show. However, Sebastian was more interested in his newly aquired frog handbag and frog binocular. For all of you at BlĂ„ Stue, Regnbuen: the picture of the handbag is dedicated to you. Sebastian can hardly wait to go back and flash it in kindergarten!

Seafood in Baltimore is a must - so we went for lobster, clams and mussels for dinner. Sebastian insisted that it was a red grasshopper lying on Tues plate, so we sure need to work a bit on his seafood education!
