I was just editing some pictures from the last few days of our trip this summer and realized I never posted about our final little get-away while we were there. Before leaving, we spent a couple of days in Hermanus, a quaint little coastal town that's famous for whale-watching. We stayed in a super cozy hotel named the Harbour House, where we were able to spot a few whales while eating breakfast in our room. I mean, I'm used to occasionally spotting a dolphin from the beach hotels at home, but whales? That was pretty crazy. We took a whale-watching cruise while we were there and at one point were surrounded by 9 huge Southern Right whales. We also saw lots of seals and penguins, a few great whites, and watched a group of shark divers in action. Out of all of the things to be excited about in Hermanus, E was most thrilled by the John Deere pulling our boat ;-)
