Dolphin Watching


Today we had an excursion to Port Stephens where we had heaps of fun watching the dolphins swimming and jumping around. Unlike last year, the dolphins were quite inactive and they were lazily swimming around and seemed not be bothered by us who were going 'ah' and 'uh' looking at them. Last year, we had a group of tourists from India with us on the deck together and i still remember how the kids as well as the grown ups were elated upon looking at the dolphins. While others were shouting 'look here ..and there" this group nick named Dolphins as Dolly!! And one of the boy was shouting "Dolly..Dolly inge vaa (Come here). He was so excited that he was conversing with the Dolphin! Wonder what they(the dolphins) were thinking at the moment:p It didn't really strike me until i played back the video that i took during that time, where a loud voice was yelling "Dolly...Dolly Inga vaa!!". Whenever i look at dolphins, the boy's voice will be playing in my mind and thus to honour him , I have named the dolphin miniature that i have bought today as DOLLY!

Well back to the excursion, though it was appeared rather sunny where we had to apply ample of sunscreen, after sometime it started pouring !!(Australian weather is known for its craziness). So we spent hours walking around in the rain as the bus was parked somewhere far and we were not supposed to enter the bus before the time. And i still need to catch up with sleep!!

It sounds like you had a great time watching the Dolphin Swimming around. I love seeing dolphins in the wild. They are amazing animals and one of my favorites.
Good Post!
