Second weekend in Tromsø, the sun was at the `rendez-vous` as well as nice temperatures, not too cold for the time of the year :-) but yet only 5-10 degree celsius!
On the program for saturday; whale watching!! Great, I love it, even if I have to wake up at 5:00 in the morning! We left Tromsø harbour around 7:00 and sailed through the beautifull fjords untill we reached the open sea. Once away from the fjords the waves became bigger and many people got very ill on the boat. I didn`t experience any sea sickness and could fully enjoy the view and the sun on the deck. After one more hour sailing in the open sea we got to the gattering point of the whales, which is exactly were the continental shelf steeps into the abyssal plate (deap ocean). On that spot there are a lot of currents bringing a lot of invertebrates and fishes, so a lot of food for baleen and other whales. We had the chances to see 4 Sperm Whales breathing at the surface and suddenly deep diving, showing us their tale. It was beautifull!!
On Sunday afternoon, in order to enjoy the precious nice weather, we went for a small walk on the mainland walking along a river. There we stopped at a sunny place to have some coffee and thee. I was with Bentha and the two Oyvinds I`m living with right now. We had a nice chilling afternoon, recovering from the partying of the night before ;-)
