Tin Can Bay and other stuff
Hi all
A couple of weeks ago we went up to Tin Can Bay (where the dolphins play) with Andy, Jayne, Steven and Judith. We had to leave early on a Saturday morning which is normally my lay in day :-( Anyway, the purpose of the visit was to see the wild dolphins that come in to feed. We got up there at about 8am and we were only there a short time when a dolphin turned up. There was only the one that came but it was still lovely to see. Sam, Jayne and Judith got in the water and fed him.
After we had seen the dolphins we stopped at a small market in Tin Can Bay, it was amazing how cheap things were compared to where we live especially fruit and plants. When my mum was over we went to a local nursery and bought a load of plants including an orange tree (mum planted them all), we paid $150 and I reckon if we'd bought them at the market the cost would have been $50 - $80 :-(
On the way back we took the scenic route and went down the Freshwater track to the beach and we all went in the sea for a play and swim at Horseshoe bay. Poor old Steven got stung by a jellyfish and cried like a baby (maybe). Then we continued down and ended up at Noosa. We then went for some food in Noosaville then for a nice walk in the national park.
Overall it was a fantastic day, probably one of the nicest days since we arrived. Great company and great locations - can life get any better?
Yesterday (Sun 28th Jan) we went and tried out some Kayaks (with the same crowd as above), we are all thinking of buying one and it'll be great fun rowing around the local waterways. We are also talking about going away for weekends doing a bit of Kayaking, a bit of fishing, camping etc. I'm really looking forward to this. Afterwards we went to Caloundra and had some lovely lunch at Shelly's beach then we went to Bulcock beach for a swim. The current is very strong and the idea is that you jump in at the top of the beach and the current takes you down to the bottom. We all went in and it was great fun. I had a bit of a panic as I got a bit far from the beach but I made it back OK. Another great day, it only get's better (or can it?)
Today we are taking our visitors (Sam's dad and his partner Trudie) out for a drive.
That's it for now folks
