Well the whales had moved on south but instead bounding gracefully through the waves and under the bow of the boat were dolphins and more dolphins... despite the severe chill and my over-riding sense of nausea and the terror of certain death for both children- standing at the front of the boat for every swell - this was amazing and worth it and done with lots of lovely families.
The Aquarium that followed was a contrasting interactive hell of noise and intensity that was totally unlike the vast grey open water and completely distracted from the immense tanks of live fish and strokeable rays and a crocodile! We saw some serious Komodo Dragon action and live gestating shark eggs.
Finally a windswept moment on Sandbridge Beach before a dodgy beach diner, which we later discovered had a claw-grab live lobster catcher game and then the long road home.
