It’s
been a while since I’ve posted a morning coffee photo… check out this view…
To top off this awesome view, while I was drinking my coffee we were lucky enough to spot heaps of whales swimming past. After our coffee was done we grabbed the binoculars and headed up to the highest dune we could find to sit and watch the whales… just in time to see a few of them breaching and fin slapping. At one point we had three whales all breach at the same time… so, so cool.
After about an hour of whale watching we dragged ourselves away to hit the water again. The current at the Turquoise Bay drift snorkel was screaming along so Megan sat this one out.
We wondered if the white tipped reef shark would still be there so we headed straight for the lump of coral where we found him yesterday… and guess what? He was still there… AND he had a friend!
The other highlight of our snorkel was our first sighting of a sea snake… I thought I would be a bit nervous around one of these but the excitement took over and we swam along after him for quite a bit…
The weather turned a bit in the afternoon and it became
quite windy so we spent a quiet afternoon watching the whales cruise past. On a different note, our day was made
complete when we finally spotted two brilliant blue White Winged Fairy-Wrens. We have seen loads of the female birds which
are a non-descript brown colour so we had been hanging out to spot the blue
males. Unfortunately my camera isn’t up
to taking long range bird photos… so, thanks to Google for the photo...
