It's the first day of Cerys's school holiday and I have volunteered to look after her for the next two weeks Mon - Thurs while Amy & Alfie are in work. I've planned a few things and today we went whale watching.
Now I've been whale watching a few times previously with no success whatsoever, but this time it was different. There were loads of sightings.
Sorry about the quality of the photographs but it was difficult to cope with a moving boat, moving subject and trying to focus quickly.

It was not long after we sailed out of Sydney Harbour into the ocean beyond that there was an announcement that two Wales had been sighted directly ahead of our boat so we went outside and saw them both.

Then after that there were a number of them off to one side of the boat and we just sailed along with them.
After a good while out at sea we headed back to the harbour and the view of the Sydney skyline in the background.
We passed very close to North Head and people were clearly seen at the lookouts here. It is a popular spot for whale watching.
As we entered the harbour we saw a seal having fun in the water just ahead of us.
As if we hadn't seen enough of the water, when we returned to Circular Quay, Cerys asked to go home on the Manley Ferry. The first thing she did when we got on board was take out her books and crayons and start colouring.
