A Whole Load of Booby's...
... the mucho dinero which it will cost... The 1 1/2 crossing lived up to its billing as tremendously rough, although luckily being first in the boat meant that I escaped the soaking which the people at the back had to put up with! Big excitement was caused by the siting of whales as we battled through the waves. Apparently the one we saw the most of was a baby - a mere 3m!! On arrival at the island our welcoming committee consisted of 2 green turtles ...
Las Ballenas
... avec d´impressionnants sauts hors de l´eau. Pas facile de les prendre en photos, elles ne préviennent pas vraiment avant leur spectacle...

I don't know how many humpback whales there are, but I ...
Wilder Westen mit Playa
... 8230;.da mir außerdem schon einige Tage der Bauch rumort, war die Fahrt auf dem kleinen Schnellboot recht anstrengend: Aber dann die Wale! Springen, prusten mit Kind und ohne, da drei Wale tauchen unter dem Boot durch, da springt wieder einer dreht sich, da: Fontänen an der anderen Seite, jetzt sind sie da hinten, Boot wenden hinterher… und alles mit dem Fotoapparat in der Hand- der auch vor dem spritzendem Wasser geschützt ...
