Finally Touched One!

As you know (if you've been following the blog) I've had a fascination with dolphins for ages. In Australia I risked shark infested waters to paddle out to get as close as possible to bottle nose dolphins on my foam boggie board. In Port Maquarie I saw lots of dolphins from a boat but never quite got to touch them.
Finally today Chris made my dream come true and as an early anniversary present bought me the Anupa experience...which meant I get not only to touch and play with a bottle nose but I also got to ride it! I got to hold on to the dolphins dorsal fin and he took me for a spin to about 4 meters deep and swam along the bottom of the ocean for as long as I could hold my breath, it was INCREADIBLE!!!! I can't describe to you what an amazing feeling it was, it was one, no no THE best thing ever. It lasted about 30 minutes all in all, we got to play with it and watching it do spins underwater and above, we touched its teeth and got to kiss it and pretend to hold it (weighs 130 kilos!!!). When it finished I could have done it all again 100 times over.

Very happy Sam x

P.S Chris writing "The best thing ever!" - I thought marrying me was the best thing ever. I began to get very jealous of this long nose bottle fat face dolphin. Last night Sam even exfoliated, shaved her legs, and this morning she put make-up on !
