Tell us what is wrong and we'll fix it.
Good morning! Are you thinking about a trip today?
Yes! We'd love to see whales while we're here.
Or we could go snorkelling... somewhere nice and calm.
Ha, he's worried about getting seasick.
Well, the whale trip lasts about three hours.
It's forty-five euros each, with drinks and snacks included.
Three hours on a boat? Hmm, that's quite long.
Come on, it's once in a lifetime!
What about the snorkelling trip? How does that work?
It's two hours in a quiet bay, thirty-five euros.
And don't worry, we provide all the equipment.
Now that sounds much more my style.
Ugh, but we can snorkel back home!
Well... I should mention the weather, though.
It gets windy tomorrow afternoon, so the sea gets rough.
Oh no. That's exactly what I was afraid of.
So is a morning trip a better idea?
Oh, wait! There's a morning trip that does both!
Both? Whales and snorkelling on the same trip?
Yes, whales first, then a stop in a calm bay.
It's sixty euros each, and it's a big catamaran.
A catamaran? Those are steadier, aren't they?
Much steadier. Sit in the middle and watch the horizon.
We also give out free ginger sweets for seasickness.
Okay... if there are ginger sweets, I'm in.
Yes! Thank you, honey. You won't regret it.
Can we book two places for tomorrow morning, then?
Of course. The boat leaves at nine from the harbour.
A minibus picks you up here at eight fifteen.
Great. And if I feel sick, I'm blaming you.
Deal! But I bet you'll love it.
