We arrived midday
In this sunny bay.

Have arrived here before by air or ships
On numerous trips.

But the village it was before…
Exists no more.

High rises galore
Appear on this shore.

It has a prosperous appearance all around
And signs of danger no one found.

The locals appear to behave
And keep the tourists safe.

This time we went to the dolphin adventure center
And were a bit hesitant to enter…

Not knowing where to begin…
Until instructed to hold on to a fin.

The dolphins were able to carry
Us around on their soft belly.

They made many spins…
While we held on to their fins.

It was an odd sensation…
To be next to such a large creation.

They were soft to touch
And appeared to like it very much.

They came close and did insist …
To be kissed.

With another memory we will not lose
We ended this terrific 49 day cruise.
