Whales and fast jets

This morning we went out into the Atlantic on a catamaran on a whale watching trip. I wasn't expecting to see any, but after an hour we met first a group of beaked whales, then a pod of pilot whales. The beaked whales are quite rare, they are very shy and they can stay under water for over 20 minutes without breathing, so you dont get to see them very much. The pilot whales were in a pod of at least a dozen, swam right up to the boat, and then along one side.

There was a navy ship parked out to sea, and suddenly we were under a pair of jet fighters doing attack runs on the ship (training I hope).

Back on shore we went to book a restaurant for dinner on Saturday, then for lunch at a small cafe we know overlooking the sea near to the hotel, and back to lay in the sun by the pool. Hard day!Læs mere
