Today we had a whale
watch on a rib boat organised with some others from the ship. We had time
before this to walk into the town and visit the botanical gardens.
The whale watch was
very successful. We mainly saw humpbacks, but they are different to those in
the Southern Hemisphere inasmuch as they have completely white pectoral fins.
We were also treated
to a sighting of a regular visitor King Louis, who popped up for the first time
this summer!
