Wave hits restaurant – You’ll reconsider seaside dining after seeing this
Ah! Seaside dining. So, novel, so romantic. Until the incalculable power of nature decides that breakfast is over and it’s been too long since your heart rate topped 120 beats per minute.

Here’s what it’s like to be slapped by a whale [VIDEO]
