Day 11 : Whales Ahoy!


Today we caught an early bus to Provincetown - a seaside resort where the first pilgrims landed in the U.S. We went to a little museum and up a big pilgrim memorial tower.

After a budget picnic lunch we went whale watching! It was amazing - we saw minky whales, humpback whales and finback whales (the 2nd largest whales in the world; see the photo). They looked huge but we could only see probably a small proportion of them above the water.

Provincetown is like any nice seaside resort, with lots of restaurants and art galleries. It also has a doggy bakery and a doggy boutique that sells dog nail varnish! There was almost the same ratio of dog:human as in New York.

I managed to get sun burned again (not too badly) and Will has been nibbled by an insect (for once not me but there's plenty of time for that!).
