Orca pod gave Welly a big wave yesterday!

Posted on May 30, 2008May 30, 2008 by BritMumInNZ

As reported in the Dominion Post today, a pod of 12 Orca were seen in Wellington harbour yesterday! Unfortunately, we didn’t see them but it’s wonderful to look out to sea and think, ‘Maybe we’ll see Orca today!’. The girls were fighting over car-seats today, both wanting to sit, ‘sea-side’, but took it in turns in the end! Sophie shouting with excitement at every wave and rock saying, ‘I see whales! I see dolphins!’

WHALE OF A TIME: A pod of about 12 orcas leapt and surfed the waves around Wellington Harbour and the south coast yesterday.
