Sim & Bek's Place

Day 1
we were up early on the sunday in order to catch our 8:00am flight to Perth...
Then it was on to Monkey Mia we went! With an amusing shed for an airport, we arrived in high 30C heat and were bussed to the resort by around 5pm. We had a quick swim in the ocean before cooking up a small BBQ dinner for ourselves...

Day 2
Up at 8am to watch the feeding of the dolphins. It is a 50m walk from our front porch, and we loved watching the new born baby dolphins swimming around. After that we hired a glass bottom boat for an hour and floated around doing nothing - and loving it.
By around 2pm the heat was getting ridiculous so we retreated to our room and watched Ocean's 11. The temp was around 32 but here the sun seems to be so much hotter, it feels more like a 40C day. After some more relaxing and a later swim we had dinner at the nearby cafe and then wandered down the beach into the sunset. On our way back we bumped into our friendly neighbours and had a wine/tea with them.

Day 3
No matter how much sunscreen we seem to put on, we are still coming in ever-so-slightly pink, so on with the moisturiser and retreat to the shade. We missed the dolphins this morning as our alarm clock did not go off for some reason. But we set out at 10 on a kayak and aimed for the 'red cliffs'. We were back after 2 hours and found out it is a 5km round trip...We were quite proud, although rather sore...And that brings us to the present...

The surroundings are amazing, breathtaking - as the beach is a metre from our front porch. We have never seen so many stars as we did last night and the quietness all around is so relaxing...
We are looking forward to the next few days which include:
2 sailing trips
1 4WD adventure
1 Scenic plane flight
1 early morning camel ride
and whatever else we decide.

thanks everyone! And we had such an amazing day on Saturday, we are so thankful...
