CHAPTER 9:
The next day, the group arrived at an aquarium.
"Okay, everyone. Welcome to the National Aquarium Denmark. Also known as Den Bla Planet," Aubrey said.
"According to this, it was originally located in Charlottenlund, but then moved to Kastrup in 2013," Chad said, reading a description.
"And get this, it's divided into five main sections. What do you say we go check them out," Emily suggested as the rest of the group agreed.
As the group spread out into the many different sections, they came across many different types of fish. The Rainforest section was vastly known for its interesting school of piranhas.
The African Great Lakes section consisted of water from three different lakes and also consisted of Nile perch fish and village weaver birds.
The Evolution and Adaptation section consisted of fish not normally seen. An example was a type of fish that had exactly four eyes. Many of the group questioned why one fish had more than two eyes. In fact, even the kids questioned why it was called a four-eyed fish if it didn't wear glasses.
The Cold Water section housed many different Danish species. Rachel and Grace were mostly fascinated by the sea otters. Both of the otters got close to the glass when the two girls waved to the otters.
"I've never seen a sea otter before," Grace said.
"Really?" Alice asked.
"No. But I've heard of them. They do look cute, though," Grace said.
"Yeah; I'll never forget this one spring when my class took a field trip to an aquarium. I saw a lot of fish, but not a lot of sea otters," Rachel added.
"Fun fact: There used to be sea lions here. But they were moved years ago and now this is one of three places in Europe where sea otters can be found," CR said, reading a brochure.
"What do you say we get a picture of these otters," Denise suggested.
"Yay!" Rachel said as she and Grace stepped out of the way so Denise could snap a pic of the sea otters.
"Looks like that picture came out well. Come on, everyone, let's go see what other fascinating sea creatures we find," Denise said as the group moved along.
The Warm Water section had the largest aquarium in Blue Planet called the Ocean Tank. It mostly consisted of many different types of sharks. As Stacie, Kyle, Kim, and Bella went through the shark tunnel…
"How many sharks are in this tunnel?" Bella asked, curious.
"Probably too many to count," Kim said.
"Yeah. There may be a lot of sharks around, but none of them can break through that glass," Stacie said.
"True that. And it's a good thing too," Kyle added.
After they each took a moment to look around the shark tunnel, Stacie took her phone out and snapped some pics of the different sharks in the tunnel.
After everyone in the group got to go through all five sections, they all met back up again and continued onward.
Later that evening, when the rest of the group returned to their rooms, Unicycle looked out at the sunset and thought it'd be a perfect backdrop for something he was planning to do during the trip.
"What are you waiting for, babe?" Flo asked.
"Do you notice how beautiful that sunset is?" Unicycle asked.
"Oh, it's something alright. Come on, let's get back to our room and watch some TV," Flo said.
"Not yet," Unicycle said. "There's something very important I want to do while we're viewing the sunset."
"What's that?" Flo asked as Unicycle reached into his pocket and pulled out a box containing an engagement ring.
"Florencia Fuentes...will you marry me?" Unicycle asked.
Flo looked at the ring feeling speechless before she gave an answer.
"YES! Absolutely!" Flo said as the two shared a kiss.
