It's been a pretty amazing month so narrowing it down to 5 is hard - my Singapore trip was technically September so I can't count that, as great as many things were there.
In no order, here we go:
1. Swimming with Whales. It was the most amazing experience. Hard to put into words the excitement and awe being so close to these massive creatures. The most beautiful moment was when they were under us about to come to the surface and the light was shining off their white bellies against the deep navy blue of the lower ocean. I haven't been able to stop watching the reels daily from Moorea Expedition, to keep reliving that memory. Unfortunately that below is the only whale photo I got - just the spout in the distance....zoomed in at breakfast one morning.
2. My visit to Piha beach. After a month of travelling with others, I went to NZ solo and the luxury of going straight from the airport to Piha beach and doing the walk to the falls and then stomping around the beautiful black beach in the exhilarating cold wind felt like such freedom. No one to consider, just revelling in the beauty for as long as I wanted. (The downside of course was I didn't stay until sunset as I didn't want to do that dark, windy drive by myself - though it was so cloudy I doubt it would ahve been much of a sunset).
5. I spent this month seeing great art, great sights around the world, going to the theatre and many gigs. I've caught up with a lot of friends over dinners. There's really too much to narrow down the last one, so I'm just going to say the WHOLE of October has been my favourite moments! My Insta makes me burst into a huge grin every time I look at it!
