A magical experience

I have just been standing on the balcony of the villa we are staying in at the coast watching a pod of dolphins just 40 feet away from us. There were too many to count. We all love dolphins and seeing them like that is wonderful

Wow how marvellous Ruth, where is your Villa again?

Our villa is in Orlando but we are currently staying in a townhouse at Port Charlotte. We try to spend some of every holiday at the coast as we find it really relaxing after doing the parks in Orlando. Last time we were here we watched manatees playing in exactly the same spot

Everybody told us the dolphins came right alongside the villa but I did not quite believe them until this morning[:I]

Unfortunately no

I did not have my camera to hand and did not want to risk miss seeing them while I got it. I have tried to take dolphin photos before when we were out in a boat and found the time delay on my camera made it very difficult and they ended up just looking like sharks[:I]
