Dave, lovely to hear from you. Hope you are enjoying the blogs. Swimming with turtles was amazing, there were soo many and you could just swim beside them. Never knew you dived and swam with Sharks and dolphins. You kept that quiet. You'll have to catch up with the turtles though, maybe a future trip to the Philippines?. Send my love to Sandra. Xx
