Whale Sharks

So yesterday we went hunting the elusive whale shark. Mozambique is quite unique to be hosting (i think) the only permanent resident whale shark population. The marine biologist said there are only about 1300 identified whale sharks in the world.
Anyways, it was a great day for it - sunny and clear and the ocean was relatively calm (though the sight of the large swells on a small craft made me wonder what it is like when it isn't!). The boat was refreshingly modern (especially compared to what we took for the dolphin tour in Tanzania).
We found and swam with two whale sharks...it was pretty amazing (admittedly I only went in the first time).
We are now heading tomorrow to Vilanculos...then back to Maputo for my birthday!
