7 Sperm Whales

Today we went on a whale watching tour. We saw 7 Sperm Whales while we were out there. SEVEN! I was hoping we would see one let alone 7! At one point the boat was about 30-40 yards away from one. AMAZING! The best part was the final showing. We came across two who were swimming together. They had their breathing sync with one another and were blowing water at the same time. After about 5 minutes of watching them the dove at the same time and both of their tails came up at at the same time! BEAUTIFUL! We couldn't have planned it better if we tried.

It has been a long day. We started at 7:00 a.m. and got home around 7:00 p.m. We are all getting pretty tired. We had a long bus ride, another game of scrabble (Jennifer won), whale watching, lunch, wine tasting, and a long ride home.


I need to fire up. I have another week!


Tomorrow we get up early again. We are heading to Franz Josef by a trans alpine train. It is supposed to be beautiful. I'm thinking it is a train that has the glass roof and big windows so we can see everything. I think we will be able to blog more tomorrow when we get in to our next destination.
