(Lyra writes) Today we went whale watching! Humpbacked whales swim from the Antarctic up to the coast of Colombia to give birth to their young. They perform off the coast of Ecuador along the way. Sometimes you see no whales, sometimes you see lots, but today we were lucky and saw a pair of lovers.
We saw the tails many times as the whales surfaced for fresh air. No snails so far!
They came up perfectly, together.
Again, a swishing pair of tails before another dive down to the depths.
Sometimes they dramatically jumped out of the water-hard to catch on camera. Breathtaking, especially when they jumped up nearby.
Lucas must have enjoyed bouncing along the waves-totally unlike me as I was feeling sea-sick.
On the way back, Dad and Lucas went snorkelling and saw lots of fish.
We also saw a sleeping turtle on our way. A truly wonderful day !¡!¡
