I dint want to leave!!

I dint want to leave!! I had a wondeful time and I was able to witness the first live sighting of a Cuvier's Beacked Whale (Ziphius cavirostris), of two different animals, in the same day! Every time I think of that moment I still get a chill and a small adrenaline rush....

The whole experience was incredible from the first moment we met the smiley faces of the researchers and the other volunteers who made us feel at home until the fare well at the end of this amazing journey!

The whole program was very well organized and the research team was very helpful and patient with us newbies. They explained everything in detail so we were able to understand the purpose of this project, what they are looking for, the methods they use and what we were supposed to do! In the mornings we would go out looking for dolphins and in the afternoon we were given presentations and talks. There was also enough time for us to rest, swim, eat, go out at night and discover Allonissos without compromising the project!

Thank you Mom and all the people from the Northern Aegean Dolphin Project for this opportunity!
