The wind was still blowing a gale, but we were determined
not to let it spoil our fun. The local aquarium was our first stop. It was
certainly very different from any aquarium I have ever been too, with mostly
open tanks, but probably the best. There was an ongoing tour that you could
join at any time. The guides were fantastic with a lot of knowledge and info on
all ,the different species. They also had an outdoor shark pool, a bit creepy
to see them so close, but fascinating to watch, especially when they were fed.
After a milkshake stop in the restaurant we went on to shell
beach. An incredible beach with no sand, but millions of tiny little shells
instead. The tide was way out, so Mike, Sean, Iain and myself went for a walk
to the water. It was quite cold and the wind was fierce. Mike and Sean once
again determined to have as much fun as possible went for a swim. Iain and I
decided to start heading back, stopping at a few vantage points.
We arrived at Eagle Bluff, it was a high point where you
could look down into very shallow water and see sharks and rays in the crystal
clear water. Quite amazing , I’m sure on a calm day the view would be even
better. On our way back to the car we met the kids, they had decided it was
just too windy on the beach as well.
We all went back home, Iain and I started packing everything
back into the car, while the kids entertained themselves with various card
games like snap!
