Flipper

After our super lazy day, we got up nice and early for our sea kayaking trip to see Flipper et al.  We even hussled $20 off the asking price for the trip because we were last minute booking.  Proves if you ask, you might get...

We carted all of the stuff down to the beach and set off over the waves.  It was a group of 30 of us and there was a little pressure on the launch into the bay because of the potential "wipe out" in the waves.  Luckily me and ame were cooperative and got out with out a dunking.  Flipper was being a little aukward that day (despite being told stories that the day before was swarming with dolphins) but we paddled on searching as we went.  It was hard work on that kayak and I'm not afraid to admit I felt pretty seasick.  But before you knew, Flipper was right in front of us diving about, feeding.  It was very cool and made it all worth it.

After a brief tea stop on one of the beaches, we set off again.  Luckily our Scottish friends from the guesthouse (Greg and Debbie) somehow randomly spotted us from the light house look-out and took this picture.  Around there we saw 3 dolphins and even saw their cheeky little faces!  Silly creatures. 





Unfortunately me and Ame weren't so call sailing in to the main beach and got totally dunked.  I didn't mind though.  I'm cool enough to take it ;-) 

Then it was back for a lazy afternoon, other than a quick  pop back to the beach for a little swim.  We'd planned a BBQ at the guest house with Greg and Debbie that eve and had a really cool time drinking, cooking and watching "Wolverine: X-Men Origins" on the DVD player (it ain't a great film, but enjoyable if knackered...)
