Today was Dolphin Watch Part 2 (we got free tickets to go again because we didn't see any dolphins last time). We went to the Kowloon Hotel and met our guide for the morning. We got on the coach to Lantau Island where the boat was waiting for us. We found out that the lady could speak fluent Japanese, and she was from Bradford!!
Once on the boat (Lesley and Ash - we sat in the same place on the boat) we travelled for about 20 minutes before the dolphins appeared. It was fantastic - see the video. The first dolphin we saw I named it Lesley - it was a nice pink and grey spotty one. There were about 10 surrounding us. A few jumped out of the water and some took a good look at us - swimming quite close. We saw a little grey baby swimming next to its bright pink mum. We watched for about 30 to 45 minutes. The lady told us that you only get that experience once a year if you are lucky. We felt very privileged that the dolphins chose today. The sea was also very calm which made dolphin watching easier! I was amazed by how many there were and by how close they came. They were also very pink.
I bought some souvenirs from the shop on the boat which consisted of a mum and baby dolphin keyring, a phone charm and some photos.
After dolphin watching Dad took us to a dim sum (snack) tea shop in Central. It was really Chinese and I tried lots of different things. It was quite different to western food but enjoyed the things I tried. It was vegetarian and so it was easy to identify what I was eating!!! The way I see it if you don't try different things then you'd never eat anything other than burger and chips!
We also went to the Aviary in Hong Kong Park. We saw some parrots, some pelicans and some mynah birds. They were very brightly coloured and were singing very sweetly. It was fun to try and spot them and a great experience.
Speak soon
Lots of Love Meganxxx
