Summing it all up.
 

Apr 2 - dolphin swimming.

Again, after a short swim with the Dolphins in wet suit (very uncomfortably), it was another lovely day at the beach with some great Danish and Dutch company. Yippy.

A very friendly cab driver that mean that what we do to the animals today, is nothing better than what the Nazis did to the Jews. Fascinating point of view.

Ever present guard carrying cocked and locked with two clips to spare. Just as our shooting range in Norway, practicing practical pistol shooting.

A lovely garden it was at the dolphinarium.

Peacocks are roaming freely around as pets with chicken and normal cocks.

Sign in for the swimming trip in we suits.

Before the swim, time for an early morning beer.

The beach where rest of the day was spent.

And the dolphins. Some 18 of them from the Black Sea.

And the dolphin boy looking for attention.

Some of the living habitat of the dolphins. Actually, very nice, compared to the Black Sea, Martin thinks.

The shipping out of the minerals from the Dead Sea.

And another part of the big enclosures the dolphins live in. The human beach to the right in the picture. The place where the rest of the day was spent.

Martin and the dolphins.

And its feeding time. Notice the metal rod in the hand of the feeder. It's a sonic caller, each dolphin having their unique calling sound set at the bottom of  the metal rod.

This means that there are three dolphins here.

And two there. This way, the feeding can be divided among many persons and a few dolphins for each feeder.

Rules of engagement with the dolphins. They are highly intelligent and shouldn't be messed with as most people. They don't like being pushed around. Neither do dolphins.

And all the dolphins belong into the same family tree shown here.

And each individual dolphin has their own story to tell next to the family tree.

The receptionist where the swim took place were this nice mystical looking girl, Mona Lisa for short.

After the dolphin swim, Martin neat and clean after a most welcome hot shower.

And one of the rare photos of Martin's camera taken in the mirror outside the shower area.

Russian breakfast table. Note the cognac Nice with juice.

The Russian family of the new rich. Cigars and all for breakfast.

Marianne from Denmark, one of the fellow dolphin swimmers.

And Martin is getting a nice tan these days, close to the departure on Apr 6th.

Laura from Holland, another one of the fellow dolphin swimmers. Nice, talkative lady with a lot of knowledge of genes etc.

Laura going for a swim with her own snorkeling gear. Lovely woman, isn't she ;-)

Esther, from Holland, another one of the fellow dolphin swimmers having a tan.

And Martin having a beer while Laura is swimming in the lagoon .

Friendly bar maid. Underpaid and over worked, these lovely creatures do their job with a smile.

Two gay boys having a nice time at the beach.

Laura back from her swim. Sexy, isn't she :-))

Esther poses with Martin on the beach.

Martin's stuff is hung out to dry.

Laura in red is something of a feast for the eyes. A really fascinating woman with a friendly wealth of knowledge of everything.

Local character with the name of Gamliel at the Spring Hostel. He is a very good friend of Meyer, the friendly receptionist of the hostel.

At night, instead of dinner, a nice Israeli breakfast with Patricia. Tasty and cheap.

Walter, owner of Walter's Place, a very reasonable guest house and dorm for backpackers. His address is imagine2b@hotmail.com. Read his address and think about what it says. Some food for thoughts there.  

The next day, Apr 3rd, it was off to Petra, the city carved out of red rocks in Jordan some three hours bus drive away.
