After a few days up at Ningaloo, it's time to make the journey back towards home. We stop in Exmouth for petrol (and probably a pie of some description, i can't remember) and head away from the idyllic, quiet Cape Range. We drive, and drive a bit more, and a bit more and then we have a pit stop at Coral Bay. Now, Coral Bay was beautiful. Again, crystal clear water but busy.
It's Easter Sunday (or Monday, irrelevant) and it's heaving. Elinor sunbakes. R and I go snorkelling. I'm very much a snorkelling beginner. I find it quite odd to be able to have my face in the water and be able to breathe... oh, and i'm a pretty big fraidy cat when it comes to anything pretty much. Anyways, i'm getting better and i like it even if it is a bit scary.
After our brief interlude at Coral Bay we're back on the road. We pass over the Tropic of Capricorn.
We spend the night in Carnarvon where we enjoy having a proper shower for the first time in 3 days and scoff at the huge motorhomes with satellite dishes. Pah, this isn't camping. We know what real camping is. Our neighbour has wifi. He's staying for another 2 months.
coral bay looks amazing - its making me long for sunny days and beaches (and brighton beach doesnt count)....
ReplyDeletecan't believe you went snorkelling, i don't think i would want to see what is in the water below - bit scary...
coral bay was lovely and great for kids because the water's really calm and shallow (that's probably why i liked it!)
ReplyDeletei've never tried snorkelling... probably for the reasons you described. maybe i'll get to try one day. no chance kev will be joining me though!
ReplyDeleteyou do get to see pretty fish and coral and stuff so it is worth it. Is it on Kev's list of things not to do, then? Or is just not a swimmer? p.s. i had a dream last nite that you got married. You both wore jeans, but you said to me 1/2 way through that you wished you'd bought a dress. ha ha.
