We decided to spend a couple of days camping along the shores of Laguna Ojo de Liebre, a UNESCO world heritage site and where the grey whales migrate from Alaska to raise their calves. Tourism is closely monitored now and small boats only go to a number of sites in order not to disturb the whales. At one point we were completely surrounded and I lost count of how many creatures were there. There must have been at least 50, both near and far. One came right up to the boat then nudged it as it swam underneath. (I did not need to zoom in to take these photos!)
We pitched our tent inside the palapa (an open-sided structure with a thatched roof made of dried palm leaves) and were glad to have this for the shade and once the wind picked up in the evening.
That night we saw the super blue-blood moon rising. Unfortunately we missed the lunar eclipse as hadn't checked on timings beforehand and with no cell phone service, were unable to find out. More planning needed in future
