The second class of our school went to Portofino between 11 and 12 May. This is the theme of one of our partner. parties in the morning, a coach at the turn of the Marine Protected Area of \u200b\u200bPortofino. We Aldo Moro of the second school in the morning we arrived in Santa Margherita, when the rain still does not beat on the streets. The first activity took place here in Santa Margherita, and consisted of an audio and video connection with a diver plunged into the bay in front of the seaside town. Among intelligent questions like "Can you show us how big it is?" And various blurs the camera, what we have learned from a marine biologist and diver Luke and more or less related to starfish (echinoderms), the importance of algae, poisonous fish such as redfish or "exotic" as the girl, who emigrated from the Indian Ocean through the Suez Canal, all in a small Mediterranean dimension.
We then learned how the protected area is further divided into area A-total-protection, B-zone is allowed to bathe-, C-zone is allowed to transit only at low speed and small boats and fishing allowed only to local fishermen. "
After our picnic lunch, as the weather permits, we walked towards the village of Portofino, a stretch on the road and another in the Mediterranean. Time about an hour before we opened the central square of the village of Portofino, dotted everywhere with luxurious yachts, luxury shopping, but also simple (and expensive) ice cream shops and stalls). Relax we got in about twenty minutes to the castle and the lighthouse located above Portofino, where a I-million-seller extorted € 4.50 for a bottle of water. In the afternoon we had free time to browse through the streets of Portofino and eating ice cream. Then we went back in Santa Margherita with the bus and from there, with our coach, we moved to Blackboard Ligure at our hotel.
A tour on the beach, including collecting rocks, climbing on the marble, Pucci-feet in the water, and we're back in the wash room. Dinner at the hotel include normal food: a plate of pasta with tomato sauce, breaded and fried potatoes, a pudding for dessert. Then we heard a little room 'of music and after turning off the light we fell asleep telling jokes.
Nell'uggiosa rainfall in the next morning hung the hope of many to go straight in Genoa, but after breakfast our guide, Stephanie, a graduate in natural sciences, has decided that part of the trek could be done by excluding the upper one. So the route was from San Rocco to Camogli, where, in addition to the harbor and see a giant pan, we ate the famous focaccia di Camogli. Later we went to Genoa, where we arrived at one o'clock and we had lunch, and certainly not alone.
his next visit to the aquarium, what most surprised me was the enormous knowledge and skill of the guided tour. But here, in order, the tanks and what I learned:-
a vertical cylindrical tank very high (about 7 m) showed that the water filters the light and lets only the blue, it contained eels and scorpion fish.
-a 'huge tub (1200000 liters of water) containing, in addition to bass fish and normal-sized, two bull sharks, two different species of sharks and saw a shark. This shows that the sharks are less aggressive than you think.
-an 'other great bath with Matthew and his mother, two dolphins can eat 9 kg of raw fish a day.
-tank of the Manatees, plus relatives of the elephant seals, although closely resembling the latter.
-tub seals: a family, father, mother and son Arrow, very playful and friend of the guide. Then followed one another the various tanks
reconstructions above and below water, tropical environments, Madagascar and the sea near the coast and away from it. Of all the fish I remember the clown fish, unicorn fish, the colonel, the surgeon, the puffer fish, napoleon fish ...
geckos, snakes, turtles preceded the bowl touch the manta rays.
After the bath of the penguins, we saw the archer fish, which with its spit drops in water insects and eats them, and the caiman and the alligator, the tiny orange frog and the Mediterranean basin, with the simulation of waves. Towards the end of the trail there was a room where several tanks housed five of the seven species of jellyfish in the aquarium: the jellyfish-very common-or four-leaf clover those with long tentacles, with their deadly poison, and living alone in Australia.
exiting the museum our coach has brought back to Como, where we arrived at 19.45. I'm glad this experience is because I spent much time with my friends, is why I expanded my cultural and natural science.
