Whale watching! The wonder and majesty of the whales frolicking in the bay as close as 10 metres from shore, breaching, sailing, spyhopping and lobtailing, playing with their babies, and engaging in amorous behaviour has to be seen to be believed.Hermanus has become world famous for the Southern Right whales that frequent the shores of this village from beginning of June to end of November each year. It is a unique whale-watching destination because of the fact that it offers one of the best land and boat-based whale watching in the world. Meet Wilson Salukazana, the world's only whale crier, who patrols the streets blowing his kelp horn and alerting you to the whereabouts of the whales.
Walker Bay is the best land base for whale watching in the world.

You know I have a thing about maps and just look at these paper birds I found on etsy. Go to the cottonbirddesigns shop to see more.They are just gorgeous! 
Since I decided to make a 'map bag' I have seen maps everywhere!You can find this one in my shop. It all started when I went into a quaint secondhand book shop here in Hermanus and found an old atlas. I couldn't resist and bought it and then came up with the idea of a map on a bag. Now everywhere I look I seem to see maps. These are a few I have found on other blog sites.
These are the most stunning tiles from style files. I would love to have these in my bathroom so instead of reading my book in the bath, I could travel the world!
These map shirts are by elisabeth le court and I saw them on freshly found.
They look great but I don't know about wearing them!
