Whale spotting

Today we got up early and had the most exellent breakfast with home made scones, fresh fruit and scrambled eggs and ham, made and served by the owners of the hotel, Jim and his wife. Jim is a quirky little man from Tennessee and both him and his wife has been extraordinary kind to us. I must admit it feels nice to speak english to someone. I manage to get by with my school spanish but im not fooling anyone, that's for sure. 😀

After breakfast we gathered on the beach and were split into two groups, we were going by two different boats. The sea was the same colour as grey clay with playful waves with white foam on top. Once out on open water it was hard to distinguish the whales from the moving waves but once you got a hang of it, i was the one spotting them on ceveral occacions. When they got up to breath they sprayed with the blowhole a cloud of mist whereas the waves were just white. We were told it was a family of 3 we were observing; a male, a female and their baby. The male jumped om several occacions. It was very exciting and i consider myself very lucky to being able to see hunch back wales (ord any whales, for that reason). The cost for 2-3 hours with a whale spotter boat was 15 dollar/person.

In the evening we went to this cozy restaurant in the middle of Span Clemente main street. Aserca de caballeros ord something. We ate grilled chicken and had milkshake and it was exellent!Read more
