Today was the highlight thus far........ three days in so it can get better, but this one will be hard to top. Went to another coastal town called Bunbury where there is a Dolphin Discovery Centre and booked an excursion to go out and hopefully swim with dolphins in the wild, which obviously could be hit or miss. It was AMAZING!!! The discovery center has cataloged almost 200 dolphins so the naturalist was counting throughout the day and came to a total of 22 that she could recognize. Literally they were swimming < 10 feet away. You weren't allowed to touch them, but we could dive down if they were below us and swim along side. They would just roll over and check you out. One of the neatest things was hearing their communication clicks and whistles under the water before you could see them. It was so cool!!! So, now I can say I swam with dolphins in the Indian Ocean.

Flying tomorrow morning to Melbourne so will update again in a couple of days.
