Today was very special as we swam with dolphins, which is every bit as
amazing as we had been hoping.
We also got to see how the other half live as we went to Discovery
Cove. It is ridiculously expensive, but once in the service is incredible and
everything is included. A real treat.
We were slightly worried as thunder storms had been forecast, but the
weather stayed bright and sunny all day.
There is a lot to do there. We used their wet suits and snorkels to go
snorkelling with sting rays and fish on their own coral reef and we swam in
their lovely warm fresh water pools and rivers. But, of course, the highlight
was the swimming with dolphins.
We were on at 12:10 so we went to the shelter for a briefing (and to
sign the usual disclaimers) just before then. And then we were taken into the
water to meet our dolphins.
Our first dolphin was Dot, an 8 year old female. She let us feed her,
touch her and even kiss her before showing off for us. She was adorable, and
knew it!
Then Hutch, a 16 year old male, came out to play and, one-by-one, he
gave us all a ride. Holding the dorsal fin in one hand and a flipper in the
other he pulled each of us around 20 yards. What an amazing experience.
