Cape Laveque Day 2


This morning we enjoyed a flight in a Cessna over the Buccaneer Archipelago and Horizontal Falls.

Off to the beach for yet another swim until this afternoon when we go on a glass bottom boat. This was a very exhilarating trip, not only did we see fish and coral we also saw Humpback Whales frolicking in the water. You can only go so close to them but if they come to the boat all the better for us, although it can be a little too confronting when they are right beside you. The size of these wonderful creatures is astounding, we have all heard how large they are but when you are in a boat that is smaller than the whale it is a bit concerning. The skipper placed a microphone in the water so we can hear the whales chat to each other. It was quite funny, one whale seen us from the distance and quickly made their way towards us eating the microphone and all.

All in all Cape Laveque has been one of the most outstanding places to visit, many things to see and do.
