On the most beautiful day we could have asked for, we went to the infamous Lovers Beach and Lands End. These pictures are of just that; the peachful Lovers Beach, the walk to Divorce Beach, and Lands End that is currently covered by water. There are incredible rock formations that you can tell were once connected and are now hundreds of feet away from its other half. I wish we could have stayed here longer.
Boat Ride
One of the friends that we went with had a connection with one of the locals. For $20 he took us on his little boat to the island and we went whale watching and snorkeling. Whale watching wasn't planned but when we asked what the boats were doing in the distance he told us whale watching and asked if we wanted to go. So on this tiny little puttering boat, we ended up being the first of all of the boats(including the big professional boats) so find a whale. Louise, our guide, went at an angle toward the whale and we ended up getting about 15 feet away from it. We figured it was probably 4 times as big as our little boat and if we went any closer, we probably would have capsized from it being under us. Here's some pictures of the whale blowing, up close, and of how scared I was. What a neat experience that we will probably never get in our lives again.
Snorkeling Seeing as I'm horrified of the ocean, I was a little hesitant about snorkeling. It was incredible!!! I'm sure snorkeling at Lovers Beach was what made it so great, but we got to see so many beautiful fish, and had a few great laughs too. Some people couldn't figure out how to walk in the flippers and I thought it was hilarious! In one of the pictures I couldn't stop laughing at the confused lady behind Jess; in the other picture, I'm trying to copy-cat her.
One of the pictures is of all of us with our tour guide/friend Louise. All in all, we had a great time here. What a fun group!
