Well today a group of us ventured off to see some pink dolphins. As we leave Manaus in the distance it took an 1 1/2 hour boat ride to where the dolphins swim.

When we arrived there were no dolphins around, well that was until Dave advised us that he new how to call them. With everyone rolling there eyes and wondering how Dave was going to work his magic. Dave was standing at the edge of the pontoon tapping his foot against the water - advising us that this is how they do it at Sea World. Ha Ha Ha by everyone, seconds later a pink dolphin stuck the tip of its nose out of the water right where Dave was standing. From this point forward Dave is to be known as the "Dolphin Whisper".Dave's job is now done and kindly hands it over to the guide to show us more (thanks Dave). We all pile into the water unsure as to what to expect. These dolphins let of an extreme warmth, very strong and have sharp teeth.
We venture out further into the water away from the pontoon, the dolphins become very playful Dave experienced a few close encounters. Dave got your breath back after a tail in the chest, and are you still feeling violated after one of the dolphins was sniffing up the leg of your trousers.
Well our time at the dolphins felt short lived and it was time to move on, next stop a local village and waterfall along with a fantastic buffet lunch. Swimming with the dolphins really works up and appetite.
We finally got back at 6pm and could not wait to get into some dry clothes and share the story of what we did with others that decided not to join us. Such a great day and comes recommended by all.
Tomorrow morning its back on the truck for a few days before arriving at Santa Elena.
