Yesterday, the Aquarium was filled with lots of enthusiastic England football supporters ahead of their squad’s match against Algeria at Cape Town Stadium. It’s all part of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, which has taken the country by storm! But if you think the V&A Waterfront is too busy to visit during this time, think again – if you get here early enough (before 3pm or so), you’ll find plenty of parking and lots of calm and serenity around our exhibits. Here are some images of yesterday’s crowds. Photographs by Ingrid Sinclair.

The new sardine bait ball is fantastic underwater show. Don’t miss it!
