We made it to Monkey Mia early and decided to put up the tent for a change. The weather was deliciously warm. We hired a double kayak and went for a 3-hour kayak down the coast, stopping occasionally at secluded beaches for a snorkel.

It is quite a neat place. You see dolphins swimming about during the day, right in close to shore. We were swimming and a dolphin came right up to us. I screamed a little and hid behind Mike. It was pretty neat though. The dolphin swam down the beach a little then came right by us again. I could have touched it, but we aren’t allowed to.

The dolphins come in every morning to be fed. They pick people in the crowd to feed the dolphins. It is a bit boring really. I think they should get the dolphins jumping through hoops to make it more interesting.

The Pelicans on the other hand were a laugh to watch. They were being fed at the same time as the dolphins and they are real characters. We found them far more entertaining than the dolphins.

Here they are all lined up like good little kids waiting for their food:

The restaurant at the resort that overlooks the bay and it does amazing food. It is gorgeous having dinner there watching the sunset over the bay.

We enjoyed the warm weather so much we stayed for 3 days.

The next blog will be snorkeling in Coral Bay on the Nigaloo reef
