“It’s One o’clock in the morning” !!!! Monkey Mia last episode

Its 1 o’clock in the morning and a bunch (5) of German tourists have decided to set up camp in the space next to us. At first I thought the noise was a bunch of happy people passing by on their way back from the pub, it is Saturday night after all, but no the noise didn’t move on. A bit of jocularity I can take but the inflation of airbeds and banging of car doors starts to get on your “pip” after an hour. Mike bravely (5 to 1) yells at them to keep it down, “you’ve woken half the camp he states” (with a few extra inserts) I then inform Mike he just woke the other half of the camp !!!!! It’s after 2 now the voices have quietened but the car doors keep on banging…. So I’m up having a cuppa, I decide if you cant beat em join em.

We went to Monkey Mia to the feeding of the dolphins and were pleasantly surprised. We have met a lot of people who were disappointed in the whole setup, that in mind we weren’t expecting anything great. However like I said it was cool, one dolphin in particular put on a real show for us, coming within a foot of our legs. There were loads of people probably an easy 150 lined up along the beach and 9 fish to feed 3 of the 7 dolphins that turned up. I told Pip, “ keep your head up and smile nicely”. Yep it worked she got picked to feed one of the dolphins. It was a real treat to be one of the few picked to feed one, but I think she enjoyed the 25 minutes of interaction with the dolphins the most as they were seriously close enough to touch.

In the afternoon we decided to try our hand at fishing for whiting again.  We showed  Roger and Barb and their 2 kids our great fishing spot. Oopps! Where did all those fish go? We caught another 4 only 2 of which we kept but poor Rog and Jack (10yrs) had no luck. Bummer

We are here 1 more day then off to Kalbari, which looks fantastic. Hopefully it won’t be quite as windy there although i am betting its cold. Afternoons here are close to gale force winds, its no wonder that the wind turbines produce so much electricity here, something to the tune of 40% of the town requirements with 4 turbines. I suppose we cant really complain as we havent had a winter as yet.... and lets face it its only a few weeks now from summer! See you in Kalbari.
