All photos are here.-->Tonga 2012
I was shocked as less whales are around Vavau Tonga this time.I could have more chance to see whale before but It was hard to find whales and less chance to swim with them at this time.Also peak of the whale season was in September 4years ago but it is in August now.I didn't know that either.Probably the water temperature and crimate have changed, therefore the situation has also been different.But we could see some wild attitude, mother and calf, bridging and so on.We could come really close to them too.Once we could jamped in when male whales was chacing females.It was exiting and they just passed under us.The sound of breathing was loud and wild.
The other day, we could stay with mother and calf for more than 1 hour. The calf came around us and looked at us.The mother was huge and gorgeous.When the calf came back to the mother at the deeper place, the calf nestled up to his mother.really cute.
I bought some T-shirt there and I could chose the design like my original T-shirt.
The town of Vavau is very small.some restrants were closed down and new ones were there.Some buiding was burned.Not much change but obviousely tourist was less than before.
I stayed at Hotel Paradise and our rooms were faced to harbour.It was really nice view from rooms.People were very kind and helpful too.
