Dancing with Dolphins !!

We left Lembeh Island early in the morning. On the way to Bangka Island we saw dolphins       (after consulting in the books we believe them to be false killer whales). We stopped boat and the engines, took fins, mask and camera and jumped into the sea. Suddenly we were playing with 3 of them, they were quite curious swimming graciously around us.

It was a unique experience being in the middle of the ocean swimming with them. Nothing was prepared, nothing was expected, we were looking at each other with surprise and gratitude, a feeling of freedom involved  us all.

After 3 years, 3 brothers/sisters were dancing together with wild dolphins in the open sea.

Thank you God for this unforgettable experience.
