WOW do I ever love it over here. This morning Lisa and I woke up bright and early at 6am, met up with a friend of hers, and drove over to Rockingham to go kayaking off Shoalwater Bay. It was my first time kayaking and it took me a bit of circling around to get the hang of it, but I made it through three hours of kayaking through pretty choppy waters so YAY me. My arms will probably hate me tomorrow though. We paddled over to Lion Island first to check out the sea lions, they're such funny little creatures. Then over to Penguin Island, which was stunningly beautiful. The little chubby penguins were so cute!
We then drove over to Cotteslau to get ice cream and walk around the beach. Very, very gorgeous area, but a bit too crowded of a beach for my liking.
Then Lisa and I came back to Perth and we went out for dinner where we got the best service I've received so far in Oz (Lisa said the best she ever has too and she's been here six years), and my GOD were the boys that worked there ever gorgeous. Definitely going back to eat there when I come back later this week :D
Tomorrow I fly to Exmouth, to check out the Ningaloo Reef and snorkel around Coral Bay. Wednesday I'm heading down to Margaret River, which will be my first night actually on my own since I arrived. Booked a cute little room, and I'll be getting there mid-afternoon so I might go get a surf lesson that afternoon but I'll see what happens. Thursday I'm going abseiling and rock climbing, then coming back to Perth to spend Thursday night and Friday with Lisa and her boy. If they're not working Friday we're going out to Rottnest Island, so I have my fingers crossed as I've heard nothing but awesome things about out there. Then Saturday, back to Melbourne for the weekend!
Today was AMAZING. I'm falling in love with this country, BIG TIME. The weather, the people, the scenery, the incredible activities available, the very, very cute boys... the list goes on and on. I could see myself living here for a very, very long time. Don't tell Ashley.
