Zuid Afrika, walvissen - South Africa, Wales

October 24, 2014  •  Leave a Comment

Eind van 2014 waren wij toe aan een ontspannen vakantie en hebben we besloten om twee weken naar familie in Somerset West, Zuid Afrika te gaan.
Hier hebben we heerlijk uitgerust, van de culinaire prestaties van de lokale horeca genoten en last but not least de heerlijke wijn van de West Kaap!
De verzorging van de familie was geweldig en reuze gezellig. Het eten was er zelf beter dan in de restaurants.

Wale Watching

Wat betreft het Afrikaanse wildlife hebben we alleen in Hermanus een boottocht gemaakt om de Zuidkapers te bekijken. Tijdens een mooie dag hebben we zeker 8 walvissen gezien.
Natuurlijk hoopte ik op een spectaculaire sprong met veel opspattend water, en staarten die uit het water staken. Maar helaas, alleen maar grote zwarte hompen in een gelukkig rustige zee.

At the end of the year we needed a relaxing holiday and decided to spend two weeks with our relatives in Somerset West, South Africa.
We had a wonderful time, enjoyed the local restaurants for breakfast and diner and last but not least the terrific wine from the Cape District.
The care by the family was great and very enjoyable. The cooking was even better than in the restaurants!

Concerning the African Wildlife we only booked a wale watching boot trip in Hermanus to see the Southern Right Wales. During a beautiful day we have seen at least 8 wales.
Of course we hoped to see some spectaculair jumps with splashes of water and tail sailing. But unfortunately, just big black humps in the water!

 

Ze waren wel erg nieuwsgierig en kwamen tot op enkele meters van de boot. Ze zwommen er zelfs onder door.


They were very curious and came within a few meters from the boat. She even swam underneath.

Eenmaal blies hij zo dicht bij de boot zijn adem uit, dat we nat werden van de spray.

Once he blew so close to the boat his breath, we got wet from the spray.
