Rite. Jen and I head to Purto Mardin quickly as we dont want to miss the whales in this area. The migrate around the middle of december.

Its an amazing experience, they are so huge, come rite up to the boat. I cry, not sure why but I do. They are so close you can almost touch them, they swim with the boat. Its one of the most amazing things Ive experienced in life to date.

I´m married?

We then go to look at the penguins, they look silly stuck on a hot, white, sandy beach. Jen back on the fags. As we leave to go to another area to see other elephant lion thing, the lifeguards come up shouting to the bus. Orckas Whales...7 of them have just arrived into the bay. We make a group decision to stay ( unanamous), they are so cool, they through themselves our of the water, hunt and we watch for almost 2 hrs. Incredible, we are told its like winning the lottery ..the fact they have turned up...amazing.

Sea lions are stupid ( and they spit at people), the Orckas have at leat 500 seagulls flying above them, screaming as they drive into the water to get the fish they whales miss. You can haer the gulls and seem them for miles, and the sea -L.s still swim towards the Orchas. Jen says it would be cool to see one of them been eaten on the beach, while stating she´d hate to see it suffer lol love Jen so much....( you see it in the wildlife programmes). I suggest we go and throw rocks at the seaL´s to get them off the beack and into the water. Jens not impressed. I bet David Attenbourough does it?

The accomadation, Jen loves the place and goes clubbing a few nites. We share a room with some German lads, they leave an awful message in the Hostel feedback book regarding the Irishman who stole our drink. I cant believe they have done this (a) not speqak to me re this (b) it would be so anti my drinking policy. I think polpe who nick drinks are scum....I reply in the book to defend myself and my country-people.

Jen and I take time out for ourselves, this is a great idea. We have spoken about this before we started ther trip. I love her so much, she is an amazing person.

I tell Jen I feel like we are living together and we often get asked if we are a couple ( no not of drunks, thanks). I tell her the fact we dont have sex makes it like we are a true hetro couple,   oh ya...we ya I forgot a tiny detail. We dont argue...sorry cant be a hetro couple!! ( this is known as hetrophobia, not terribley PC, but you know what I dont care!)
