Size matters...

with a 45 tonne humpback whale.
We went on a whale watching trip last weekend and I came back with a new perspective of size matters;since the ban on whaling since 1966, the whale population has expanded to about 30000(stats not mine!) and they are absolute hams, more the boats, more the show. So much so, that we went up to 10m of the whale standing on its head with its tail out, and it was grandstanding for about 15 min! the turistas in the boat loved it, kids went wild after many thousand reruns of 'Finding Nemo' and it was a great trip-
