More sea is always possible

Published: 13.10.2016

Hello from San Simeon,


Today was all about the ocean.

In the morning, our whale watching tour started at 9:00 am.

Together with about 40 other tourists and scientists, we went out to the open sea on a catamaran.

Except for some slight motion sickness for Verena, not much happened in the first hour.

But then it finally happened. On the (fortunately) very calm sea, we saw a huge fountain. Our guide told us that we were looking at a genuine blue whale. We even got to see a part of its back and fin, from the largest and heaviest creature on earth.


During the 4-hour trip, we also had the opportunity to admire fin whales and humpback whales. A very special highlight was several dolphins swimming next to our boat. We also saw sharks.

The sight of these animals is both overwhelming and fascinating😳


After the boat trip, we continued on our journey. Finally, we arrived where we wanted to be: on Highway No.1 😍



Here, you would want to get off at every lookout point and take endless photos! Beautiful beaches and coastlines, and turquoise blue water - just like in a picture book!!


Tomorrow we will continue to Santa Barbara. We are really looking forward to it!

But before that, we have to take care of something less pleasant: our speedy car, the Chrysler, is indicating that the oil needs to be changed and the airbag needs maintenance. After a brief phone call with the rental car company, we will exchange the car completely tomorrow...


Tomorrow you will find out if everything worked out 😉

Enjoy the pictures from today!!


Byebye Verena and Maxi
