Inspired by Frozen Planet and the Orcas (as I wrote about the other day) we dug out our honeymoon dvd and enjoyed the footage. There are plenty of "killerwhale safaris" if you google it but we picked the one called "Orca Tysfjord". Watching the film we foud out that we were actually there on the 10th of november, exactly one year before A was born! I have to say it was an icredible experience, one which I hope I will get to re-live again at some point in my life, preferably with the kids. Thought I would share some pictures (taken with a bad digicam) with you all, enjoy!

Me looking out for eagles

This is what the big boat looked like

On the second day we went out with the Zodiacs, the best way to experience the Orcas if you ask me

 

 

We were really lucky and here (if you look very carefully) you can see the orcas hunting fish, the fish trying to jump to get away

Some brave guys snorkelled with the Orcas

Orca Tysfjord

The happy honeymooners!

 

When I had a look arond the website Im very sad to say it seems that the herring are not passing the fjord to the same extent anymore and therefore there are less Orcas around and they are harder to find. The safaris only run during the weekends too so it seems things are changing so it seems I wont be able to take the kids for this lovely experience :(
