Whale in Puerto Galera



Was stranded in Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro because of Typhoon Dindo. Which meant:

- two nights more of stay
- more time
- more card games
- more drinking sessions
- more shopping
- more wind and waves (literally!!)
- more exploration
- more photo ops

Actually missed Manila and the grind and started worrying. Ack! Horror of horrors! haha.

A dolphin? No... a whale!! Whales, more like
Saw dolphins, oops, I meant killer whales on our way back to Batangas. Hehe! We initially thought it was a dolphin we saw until our boat got nearer and as the creature was surfacing, we saw the telltale white area and realized it's a killer whale. A juvenile maybe. Definitely not an adult. Ack! Then as it went past our boat, another one surfaced/swam beside the first that we saw. Who would have thought. Was able to get a shot during our mad scramble, tracking it as it went past our banca. And I had only one shot left free in my camera. Talk about good luck! :D Love you, whales!
