Return from the river. Dolphins.


Today was a shedload of travelling, and catching up on my updates. We did however, go and see some dolphins - a mother and her 2 month old calf with a sharkscar on it's right flank, poor little thing. They swam within two feet of our bare, shivering legs - the world's been scorching since we got here, and yet most of today was spent in torrential rain. I remeber the last time we saw dolphons in Australia - i was 13 and it brushed against my legs. Their skin is like wet rubber, and the sand was coarse from broken shell from Shell Beach. Slightly morbid, there was a dolphin foetus in a glass jar at the centre - a pregnant one had died. Nothing else all that exciting.Except the locusts. Hundreds of hatchlings darken the ground. Insane. Just...insane.
