When I was 5 years old my mother took me to Gothenburg Natural History Museum. I remember when I saw the huge mounted blue whale. I was silent, fascinated, amazed, and and I did not want to leave the museum. It was a whale that had stranded on the beach in Askim, just south of Gothenburg. Since then I´ve had a dream to see one swimming in the ocean. Finally got lucky and saw this incredible animal south of Merissa, Sri Lanka
