Swimming with dolphins in the Pacific Ocean...
... for around 50 minutes. It was a totally a unique, overwhelming and wonderful experience. The dolphins are so friendly, playful and very inquisitive. They were swooping quickly around us and came so close we could almost touch them. They are far smarter than us in the waters and knew they were outwitting us and teasing us. I feel so lucky and privileged to have had the opportunity to swim in the wild with such beautiful and graceful animals. :-) Once back on board the boat we enjoyed ...
Happy Birthday Justine
... for around an hour with these creatures; spiralling around when our eyes met theirs or diving down to swim beside them. They came so close to us. It was magical, so much more than swimming in a tank with them or hanging onto one as it pulls you round. This was a true Dolphin encounter and we loved it.
It took us a long time to warm up once we got out of the water. The crew had hot water showers on-board as well as hot chocolate. Justine was fine for the journey back, however I think ...

I am without a doubt a good luck charm. In the afternoon went to see ...
Pelzrobben en masse
Am Pekeka Beach erwachten wir wieder bei trockenem Wetter. Noch am Vorabend hatte uns die Camping-Verwalterin sogar einen Wetter-Rabatt für unseren Stellplatz mit Meersicht offeriert. Anscheinend ist es wirklich nicht üblich, dass es auf der Ostseite der Südinsel wie aus Kübeln giesst... Wir verspürten keine Eile und gönnten uns ein schmackhaftes Frühstück an der Sonne, ausnahmsweise sogar mit Speck und Rührei. Zum perfekten Start in den Tag hat einzig das ...
