It doesn't get any better than this.

Today was probably one of the best days of my life. We started off the morning by heading down to the beach where we took loads of awesome photos. The water was so nice and I realised I was swimming in the Atlantic which I thought was pretty cool. We then headed to camp to get ready for whale watching. Woo!

It cost $40 and took an hour to reach the whales and I may or may not  have fallen asleep on the way but it was well worth it. It started off quiet as we all pointed to whales in the distance and tried to take photos but as the boat reached closer and closer the excitement grew. Kate begun to do whale calls and we laughed but I think they secretly worked. There was a whale in the distance that appeared to be waving us over. He was continuously lifting his fin in the air and slapping it in the water so we made our way over and the next thing we knew he was gone. We then searched the horizon for other whales and the next thing we knew, up popped the whale right in front of the boat. He swam right up to my side of the boat sprayed us and then swam right underneath us. It was such an amazing sight!

After that we saw two whales in the distance jumping out of the water. As we made our way towards them it became clear that it was a mother and baby. It was truly magnificent to watch two such amazing creatures in their natural environment. They carried on as if no one was watching and as if they didn't have a care in the world. As the giant mammals jumped put of the deep blue ocean it seemed like the world slowed down. They were so graceful and every tiny move looked deliberate and perfect. When they hit the water they hit it with a powerful force. You could hear the sound of the splash and see of from a mile away. It was truly breathtaking.

Unfortunately soon after we  had to head back to the dock. From there we headed to a place where we bought some lobsters , 2 dead and one alive of whom we named Laurence. We then headed back to camp where we had a feast. I'm talking fish, potatoes, rock melon salad and lobster. Talk about 5 star camping. We then tied the bow on a perfect day by sleeping outside under the stars and listening to the sound of the beach in the distance. It honestly doesn't get any better than that...

Or does it?
