My favorite was swimming with the dolphins. The closest I got to one was probably about one metre. I felt like diving down and touching it, but something told me “no”. The way you see them is to look under water with your mask and you see them. To get into the water near them you have to jump off your moving boat while there are other moving boats around. You can’t hesitate. We also saw one baby dolphin with its mom, it was really cute.
After we opened our presents we went for a big buffet breakfast. There were even cream puffs and brownies... I especially liked when daddy thought the cream puffs were plain and he put chocolate sauce on his. He bit in to it and went “ wow!” After breakfast we went to the beach for the day. About lunch time, Mattias and I got hungry (of course) so we got some food from the beach bbq and cokes. After that, Me and Daddy built a sand man, (not a snow man) it was big but had to be lying down so he wouldn’t collapse. Later, me, mom, daddy and Thias all went for a long swim. The Indian Ocean is so warm, you actually feel like you are in a bath tub!
At dinner time, we went to a beach buffet dinner. It was a really really yummy dinner, and for dessert there was Christmas cake and fruit tarts.
For presents from the family, since there were no shops around, we decided to make gift certificates. Daddy is getting a new coffee press mug since his old one got left behind... Mattias is getting a soccer ball, Mommy is getting a new swimsuit, and I am getting a long skirt.
On Christmas we also picked a fresh coconut that was very yummy. My favourite part of Christmas day was present opening from under the drawn Christmas tree.
Bye for now, Emilia
Belated Merry Christmas to you!

Wow Mima and Tias it is hard to know where to start other than to say you guys are having the most amazing time. We are so thirlled that we are able to share it with you thanks to you both, as well as your Mom and Dad, for taking the time and making the effort to post your thoughts and fantastic pictures. Life, by contrast, seems rather mundane here in chilly and grey Salcombe. No doubt this is the thrill of a lifetime for you all so keep up the good work, have a wonderful and Happy New Year. Just about halfway through your adventure now so there will be lots more incredible experiences to be shared and enjoyed before you climb out of the plane when you get back to Canada in the summer. Loads of love from the GBs.
