Monica and Victor Din Din

 

Before we leave Coles Bay we catch up with one of the few people we made friends with at work. 

Talking about what's going on at work and why we left as suddenly as we have. It was nice to know we have someone that doesn't think we are imaging it  or going crazy. I was reassuring that someone was listening and could relate to what was happening. 

These two where the ones who helped us get a job in Queensland. It's unreal how in such a small amount of time someone can make such a big impression in your life. Really hope we get to meet again and wish them all the happiness in the world.

Hassie Australian Adventure Spot 37 - Honeymoon Bay


This was most likely the most uncomfortable sleep we had since this travel but the most interesting and fun spot yet! 

Let me explain. 

This was the day we left Churinga and the day E had a seizure. As we left Churinga in such a hurry we had not planned a place to lay our head down for the night! So our lovely neighbour Henry was already going on a camping spree with friends so he invited us with. 

After a long day of E recovering, penguin watching and Ice cream adventures we made our way to the spot at about 9pm.

Now sleeping on a beach was something we wanted to do but having to set up a tent at 9pm was something we didn't anticipate would be so easy for some and challenging of others 

Waking up super early not to get caught by the rangers (as we aren't aloud to sleep on this beach) was a different challenge all together as E and I like to sleep in, but we got up at the crack of dawn and say the saw the sun peeping thru - Click here to see photos.

We got to watch our crazy friend 'shower' in the freezing cold ocean and then sneaking by the ranger to have some breakfast at tombolo's!

Best adventure spot experience ever!!

We give this spot 4 Hassie carrots

Sleeping On The Beach

We got to tick something off our 'To Do' list. Thank you to our crazy friend Henry we have slept on the beach.

  

Although we sort of wasn't allowed to and did anyway. It's was a night we won't forget. After going to seek out some penguins and arriving close to midnight at our chosen beach, we started setting Up tent in the dead of night. Wrapped up in  Blankets and pillows we jump into the tent, to wake up at the crack of what felt like dawn to avoid 'Ranger Danger'.

It's was a lovely way to end our stay at Freycint as we kinda left on a bad note. I'm glad we had supper awesome company to make it memorable last day.

Henry and E Penguin Tour


E and our house mate Henry have been hosting a penguin tour on their free time. Although I'm the wife of one of them I haven't even been on this so called 'penguin tour'.

Henry is just this crazy, high on life guy who like to include everyone in his events. Apparently they got some people to pay them once for this so called penguin tour with made up facts and knowledge. 

It's now something I can say I got to experience and it's the best tour I've ever been on!! Got penguins walking right past you and the company is out if this world. 

I highly recommend this tour if your ever in the area.
