Fruit of a Fish Poison Tree (Barringtonia Asiatica)
I took this photo outside my window the night we arrived. It's the flower pods of a Fish Poison Tree. Notice where 1 flower has already bloomed and died.
The next morning I was welcomed by this flower from the Fish Poison Tree, which died in just an hour or so.

A nice spout! This is how you can spot where they are.
We had many sightings of the whales, but I didn't get to see any breaches.
You can differentiate the whales by their tail markings.
