Day 9

Day 9 - dolphins!

OMG! Today was amazing, unforgettable, spectacular, breathtaking, AWESOME! We decided to go dolphin and whale watching today. So we went on a special boat and went off with 5 others and 3 crew members, a girl, she was a student in oceanology, she was so nice and smart! A young man, the "captain" of the speedboat, we saw him a lot at the hotel and made nice chats with him about what he saw on his days, also he runs the business, he set everything up from scratch. And the man's girlfriend, a very nice but shy and timid girl.

After about 30-45 minutes we saw dolphins. Real dolphins! In the wild! And they were so close! They were all around the boat, under it, front of it, the sides, at the back, everywhere! It was so amazing to see! Sliding so graciously through the water, popping up every once in a while. They were SO close! The dolphins we saw were spotted dolphins, the friendliest and nicest dolphin species. I could have stayed so long there just watching quietly.. but then the boy in front of me threw up and everything got messy, sticky, stinky, yucky, ew.. so we had to bring him back to land, but because of that we couldn't see more dolphins and no whales at all.. so that was sad.. but it was okay, not that he could do anything about it.. but after that we sailed a bit along the coast, and swam in the Atlantic which was amazing as well!

Came home totally knackered! But after dinner we still went to see a PowerPointpresentation by them, which was really good! About all the marine mammals.

And now I'm so tired I could sleep standing, so I'm going to catch some zzz's.

(I didn't take any pictures because I didn't want to risk losing my phone! (TRAGIC!) But my dad made some small films so when I can I'll try to put them up here!)
