We were meant to leave to go on a whale watching tour at 1130 but it got pushed back to 1330 giving us time to update photos and blogs. When we got to the Pacific Whale Foundation office the wind was so strong, blowing at 40 - 50 mph!! We were worried there was a storm or hurricane approaching - great time to be getting on a boat!! It cost $38 each for the 2 hour whale watch. We boarded the boat at 1500 and made our way out to sea. It was so choppy, very hard t...

Day from hell!!!! We got the shuttle bus to the airport and it came to $14 - we had a $20 bill or $11 but the driver didn't have any change on him! Nick went inside asking everyone in the terminal as the shops weren't open yet and outside the bus driver started verbally abusing me!! saying "F*C* You" etc, I said "excuse me" as I couldn't quite believe he was swearing at me for no reason and he went on!
