Pip Russell - Adventurous weekend!
Date:11/09/2009
I thought I’d splurge and have a bit of an adventurous weekend… and that I did!
I spent the weekend at Tangalooma and kick started it all with a spot of whale watching. We were spoilt rotten! After I got up and shouted ‘there’s a whale’ a few too many times (sightings which were only waves crashing.. whoops!), we found 2 whales who were happy just to play beside the boat breaching and doing tail slaps. Now is a perfect time to see the humpbacks with their bubs as they head back down south, but unfortunately there were no babies in sight for us. Hey I’m not complaining though- we did see about 5 adults!!
I also gave quad biking a bit of a shot which was stacks of fun! Well, it started off well, until I almost ran my bike over a hill! Safe to say I definitely eased off the brakes after that little incident.
My next little adventurous activity took me to the ‘desert’ to try sand tobogganing again. After my last time efforts I figured I could take anyone on in a race… but again, I didn’t do too well at that either. If you look closely at the photo you can see pretty much as soon as I started- I went side ways. I got the biggest face full of sand I was still finding grains in my mouth hours later. Yum!!!
But, I think my favourite thing was getting to see Nari (remember the dolphin who got bitten by a shark?). I’m pleased to report that he’s doing wonderfully, and his scar has healed really well- you wouldn’t be able to tell how bad the bite was!
Needless to say I was one tired girl on the boat ride home.
