Dolphin swim (good weather)

Today we wake up to a perfect day, no wind, lots of sun. So, what do you do: you book a babysitter for Kieran and book another trip to go swim with the dolphins. This time we hit the Jackpot, yesterday was good today is off the scale!
The dolphins jump around us, over us, they stay with us for the whole time we're out there. The freezing water doesn't bother us any more and Emma and I love every moment. Check out the videos and pictures! Emma had three dolphins jumping around her and over her in synchronicity.

A little later we land in a soup of krill, There must be 10 in every litre of water around us. I can see why whales get so big. One gulp of this soup would yield many kilos of high protein krill.

Towards the end of the swim Emma gets approached by some sort of albatross, her intrepidity to try to touch the bird is harshly punished: the bird bites her pretty hard on the hand. Someone yells: Emma is probably the only person in the world who can piss off an albatross.
