Day 5 - 30 Jan 2009

Day 5 - Dolphins, Penguins & Sea Lions

Its another early day for us as we need to catch the boat off for dolphins watch. Its not easy to see the dolphins swimming cos we do not know when for sure the dolphins will showed up above the waters. Thru out our boat trip, the guide wld say :" 4 o'clock, 11 o'clock or 6 o'clock" This means dat we will be able to see dolphins in dat direction. Using the front of the boat as 12 o'clock, so when he says 3 o'clock, we will face the right hand side of the boat. Quite amusing to see everyone turning 360 degrees & cramming their necks to catch a glimsp of the dolphins. The guide told us in order to see the dolphins jumping out of the waters, there is a little trick. You gt to have 2 speed boats running parellel to each other. The dolphins will swim along with strong waves created & jumped in & out of the waters. See below video.


All passengers are given a poncho to protect us from the cold wind or water in case of splashing.




Pls bear with the background noise as this video was taken against the sound of the wind & waves. And also the span of time in between b4 the dolphins jumped out of the waters.

This is the penguin island. There is a specific timing to the shows. So after our dolphin cruise, we return back to the island & hv our lunch. The shows begins at 2.30pm. Our guide bot us lunch from subway. After lunch, we played a game of "The eagle catches the chicks" - 老鹰捉小鸡.

This boat outing is to see the sea lions & pelicans. 6 lazy sea lions basking under the sun. They looked dead. Pathetic creatures; dun even bother to move or get up. And the pelicans also stand there like stones, occasionally calling out. Boringggg!!! And the guide had to stop the boat for so long. And the people snapping non stop like they nvr take pics in their whole life.

After we came arrived back on the main island, we all went to Harbor Town for shopping except for myself,Ah Ma & Ah Gong. I am too tired to walk, so Mummy & Daddy bot Rachel along. Alot of sale going on but nobody buying. Except for 1 shop which interest Mummy is Pumpkin Patch ( selling children's merchandise). Whoa! The clothes in here are going very very cheaply, as cheap as A$4 per item. But Mummy did not buy any cos both me & Rachel still hv alot of new clothings not worn yet & the current ones are still going strong.

2nd last day - 2moro. A trip to Fremantle - Port of Perth.
