The small group went out to the sun light. The heavy red suits made us look like astronauts going to a rocket, but we were just a few tourists ready to meet orcas in their environment. This adventure had been a “to do” since the first time I visited Vancouver and this bright day seemed to be perfect to have a close encounter with these black and white giants.

Check out the newly renovated Pousada Tãnara, right on Tiririca beach, in Itacaré, a surf town in Bahia Brazil, owned by a Belgian/Canadian & Brazilian couple. 

It was a short trip, no thanks to Cayman Airlines changing our flight from Thursday to Friday making our already tight timeline even tighter. After sitting on the tarmac for 50mins waiting for the Cuban-Americans to transfer from their Miami - Cayman connection to our Cayman - Havana flight (the “Swamp Loophole”) the fun was just beginning.
