Day 4: Woke up early and in good time for the trip or so we thought. We stopped off to get a takeaway coffee and the woman behind the counter had no idea about time, she made a good coffee though. Boat was waiting for us (sounds about right), The boat was lovely. Got out of the bay area and immediately saw 2 dolphins which was great. About an hour later we had our first glance of a humpback whale and its baby we got so close.
Then a call came in from one of the other boats saying that 2 mothers and two babies up ahead and that they were teaching them things like tail slapping, breaching the sea and playing around, so we got there in no time and saw it. It was absolutely amazing seeing a massive whale that jumped out of the water. In the end we saw about 12-15 whales throughout the day.
It was a really special day which was topped off by a great lunch and a few beers. We were constantly topping up on sunscreen thoughout the day but managed to both get badly sunburnt on our heads When we got back we walked along the pier at sunset then went back to our spot to sleep. A couple of hours later we got rudely awoken by the dustman (only messin), it was a policeman, he said that we had 20 minutes to leave otherwise he would fine us 500 dollers and that we were lucky as he knew we slept there the night before and was in a good mood. (note to self never park in the same spot 3 nights in a row). So we were gone in seconds.
We were going to move on the next morning anyway so decided that we may as well move on now. So we headed north through countryside and just about made it to a petrol station it was closed though so we camped the night nearby. In the morning we got the shock of our lives
when the 5am train went past us very fast. We parked right next to a train track! Chooo Chooo
