This blog’s travel section has kind of a cute twist. It caters to folks who want a good reason to stay home. That job just got lots easier, what with a new attraction in Australia.
Crocosaurus Cove, which is Australian for “Toss another tourist on the barbie,” allows you to be in a clear underwater container, face-to-face with a massive saltwater crocodile.
Right. I already see flaws in the design: the clear container has no toilet, which I think they’re going to need pretty damned quickly, if you catch my drift.
Another flaw is the illustrated, easy-to-understand opening instructions on the exterior of the cube. So simple, a reptile can do it!

- Posted by Golden AceIs the man pretending to be one with the croc or does it look like it’s the other way around?
