We went to the pacific coast to see the whales and we did!! But if you're scrolling down to see a national geographic sort of picture of the tail of a whale then you are in for a disappointment. I was too busy being excited and mesmerized by their presence that I completely forgot to take the camera out.
We didn't see the tail, but we saw a beautiful face coming out of the water, and also a big (enormous) flipper sort of waving hello, and we also heard their loud and incredible sound. And many whales swimming along with their babies. All in all, it was pretty spectacular, magical, breathtaking and so worth everything that meant getting to this part of Colombia. I would do it again in a heart beat.
By the way, the humpback whales arrive in Colombia every year in July to have their babies (calves), and leave in October.
The view from my bed. Who needs television?? There are no walls or doors on the hut, just a bed with a mosquito net.
And a scorpion, not too far from my bed. I had to zoom the bejesus out of it, so it is quite pixilated. Ok, where is the Ritz now?
The only proof that I actually saw whales. My memory still has them picture perfect, I hope I can remember them forever. Some people travel all the way here and actually don't get to see the whales at all, so I think we were pretty lucky.
Pelican island, is just what the name implies.
Be careful not to step on the little turtle or the thousand of hermit crabs (i don't have a picture of them), but they were really lots and lots.
O.K this is it for the second and final part of this trip. It would have been pretty cool to have a picture of the enormous flipper though, I guess you can't have them all.
Wishing you a happy weekend full of adventures,
Giova
