Jennifer Proxenos Date: 1/25/2021 9:22:00 AM Hi Jan, we haven't been for a holiday in almost two years. From the flat in Umhlanga, on the North coast of Natal we saw a pod of over 300 dolphins. It was truly magnificent and, on another one of our holidays I sat with binoculars and gazed out over the sea and saw two whales - I quickly shouted for Elias to come, we couldn't believe our luck. Our guests arrived and couldn't believe what they were seeing, they have lived in Umhlanga for 20 years and have never seen one. Felt so honored they gave us this show. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Victor Buhagiar Date: 1/25/2021 12:59:00 AM Perfect haiku. Dolphins are such gentle creatures. In the past I used to see them occasionally. Now I've become a stay at home ~~ Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 1/27/2021 3:21:00 PM they are so wonderful to observe, sadly sightings of them and basking sharks were so limited last year:-( hugs Jan xx
