I just sipped my morning cup of hot relish, black coffee and as usual, while surfing the web. The children enjoyed themselves with their new game achievements, when the phone rang. At the other end was Björn and said that he just returned from Raglan Harbour and he was there, a group of orcas have seen, but again was on the way towards the open sea.
Twice a year there is this extraordinary natural event in Raglan, usually in March and October. The huge natural harbor, a huge marine mammals a wide range of food, particularly stingrays, which are probably on the menu at the top of the orcas. I had already resigned themselves to have missed it this year. Up to this moment - now had to be taken quickly. I rushed excitedly into the bedroom to wake Thomas. When he heard of the surprising message He was wide awake. The rest went fast. In no time armed with binoculars and camera, we set out to upset the direction Wainamu Beach, where the harbor opens out into the ocean. Arriving at the parking lot, had already gathered a handful of spectators, all staring at the water. It was not long before we discovered the first Finn. And it appeared again on more orcas. A group of five adult orcas with three boys at her side, had evidently their way home to the open sea started. The whales gave more and more about yourself. Times appeared on the tail fin, known as the so far only from picture books and photo calendars. Or they came from water fountains and showed their black and white Body. So far we have only real orcas at SeaWorld met in Florida - and trained in captivity. This vast experience of live sea creatures in the wild so that was an absolute, unforgettable experience goosebumps. I think it really had a nice Christmas for us not to give! wanted
And how could it be otherwise? The next item on the program was, of course: Barbeque announced. It's funny, if they are on the grate big fat steaks and our only neighbors, a herd of bulls watching us here. If they knew that their mates as tasty on the grill sizzle in front of him ...
Slowly the first Christmas Day by the end of evening and another natural spectacle rather than straight: the last Christmas sunshine break through the clouds over the Mount Karioi - always nice, not just at Christmas.
