Sunday 18th – Whales and Dolphins

If we thought leopards are hard to photo, just try catching a picture of a whale.
Sunrise over the hotel and the beach for another early start – this time whale-watching.
Early morning in Mirissa as we head off.
At least leopards don’t move, even if they are a long way away.  Problem with whales (and two types of dolphin – one called a Risso which is black and white and could easily be mistaken by ignoramuses  such as me as a small Orca – sea turtles, flying fish and a magnificent Bryde whale) is that they come to the surface briefly and then disappear.
That’s the excuses – best I could do is in the top right.
On the boat for over 6 hours so some well- deserved R&R back at the hotel, including Sunday lunch.
Then Sam took us down to Mirissa beach for an evening stroll and dinner.
Happy Christmas.
And sunset – not as spectacular as yesterday.
Then select from the menu …
And as you would expect fresh and extremely delicious.
Final move tomorrow – not far down the coast to Galle.
