Cap de setmana a Sante Marie / Weekend in Sante Marie

Aquest cap de setmana hem descansat a Sante Marie, una illa de 57 quilometres de longitud situada al nord-oest de Madagascar. Durant aquesta visita, hem pogut fer una sortida per anar a veure les balenes. Va ser impressionant quan una balena de 15 metres i 3 tones de pes amb el seu balenó es passejava a tres o quatre metres de la nostra embarcació. Entre el juliol i el setembre aquesta illa rep centenars de balenes geperudes ja que és un pas migratori de l’Antàrtida cap a les aigües més càlides de la baia d’Antongil, on hi passen els mesos d’hivern.

This weekend we had a rest in Sante Marie, a 57 kilometre long island located the north-east of Madagascar. During our time there, we went to see whales. It was really impressive when a 15 meters, 3 ton whale was swimming with her baby nearby our little boat. Between July and September this island receives hundreds of whales since it is a migration stop from the Antartic sea to the warmer waters of the bay of Antongil, where they spend the winter months.

The first reaction that came up in my mind when I saw these pictures was; WOW!!!!

Really nice to see those big whales. Can imagine it is impressive to see this size of animals in the water.

Sorry that I didn't put a reaction yet on your other stories. I've read them all but didn't have the time to put a comment on your blogs. All stories where amazing!

Enjoy your last week in Madagascar! I know for sure you will. Say hello to your mum as well.

Lots of besos! Bar
