Wednesday, 9th June 2010 - Plane over Whales


It is a really short drive from Kaikoura to the airfield. Where I board a little Cessna. I'm lucky eboughto ge to ride shot gun with the pilot. There is only me and two other passengers.


It is really great. Straight away I spot a Sperm whale. We circle it for a while until we see it dive. Next we fly straight to another sperm whale. This one is bigger. Again we circle it till it dives. It was amazing.



Then we go ad fly off into the mountains and get a tour of the snow topped mountains. Was such a kewl experience.



I hope the boat it going out again tomorrow. Because the only thing you lack from the plane is the sheer size of them. As there is nothbg around to compare them too. Fingers crossed.
