Gold Coast 2011-Day 2 之 Feed the dolphins

Alrighty… Since I have some spare time on my hands now, I shall continue updating about my long-long-ago-Gold Coast Trip.. I’m even wondering how long would I take to complete the posts on the holidays.. Hopefully I would still be able to remember the details of the trip..

I’m still currently on Day 2 (18 August 2011) of my trip.. As we would be staying in Tangalooma Island for just 1 night, we had our day filled with activities.. The last activity for us was a dolphin feeding session..

Around 5.30pm, we had to wait out near the ferry terminal for the main star of the feeding session – the dolphins themselves. These dolphins aren’t owned or reared by the resort, they are the dolphins from the wild, and they even have names which I never got to find out what they were.

Before the dolphins make their appearance, the “feeders” had to queue up to feed them.. Just exactly like how you have to queue up at a celebrity’s event..

At around 6.30pm, the dolphins started to swim towards the shore, and the “feeders” wouldwalk into knee-leveled waters to interact and feed these dolphins. The weather that night was extremely cold and I admire those that went into the water to feed the dolphins, especially those who went in with just t-shirts and shorts and some were even more “pro”, they went in with just a pair of shorts.
