We arrived to Perth and immediately enjoyed the home comforts of 'Auntie Pauline's and Uncle Neils', proper towels, washing machines and dryers that don't require dollar coins or having to watch so no one steals your clothes, a pool just for our luxury and not having to lock away your belongings - heaven!!
We lazied for the first two days, coming to the conclusion that it wasn't bad as we had been on the go for 8.5 weeks. Thursday Neil took the day off work and became our tour guide, we headed to Yanchep national park, where we had a BBQ. This was a novel experience for us and with the wide life such as Kangaroo's, Koalas and Kookaburra around it wasn't hard to remember where we were. It was a good day out and Neil wowed us with his knowledge of the area and local plants!!
After not having an early morning for almost a week we rectified that by having a six am start to go and see the Dolphins. We made our way to Rockingham and not to long after we were in our wetsuits we were in the water with the dolphins. This particular group of males werent to friendly and kept swimming off so we were on and off the boats like yoyos. It then took about another two hours before we got to see anything which was quite dissapointing, we were then called to get ready and back in to the water. Bingo, this was what Dolphin swimming was supposed to be like. There was a pod of about eleven dolphins and they were so close to us, we must have remained in the water for about 30/40 mins and swam above them/beside them and it was breathtaking. Poor James became really sea sick and had to get out of the water so missed most of it which was so annoying for him as it was his birthday treat. So another amazing activity ticked off the list.
We hope everyone is well and getting excited thats its only a week until we are home. We are going to try and fit in as much as possible in the week......so get ready for our final blog updates!!
Lots of love the girls xx
