Sorry for the late post, but here are some photos from last weekend. Saturday ended up being pretty overcast so we just camped out on this little beach we found on Rott and spent the day there. Didn’t end up getting in the water, but did manage to fit a good nap in there. There was also this cool rainbow thing around the clouds covering the sun.

On Sunday I ended up going back out to the Grain Jetty with Daniel, Carmen and Adam (this really nice Scottish guy who I went diving with last week.) Although it was a beautiful day, the water felt pretty cold! That didn’t stop me from staying in for 72 minutes! Longest dive yet. Unfortunately, there was a scratch on the inside of the dome port of my underwater housing, but I am working on fixing that. Here are some of the shots that did come out though.

This Friday I am setting out on a pretty massive road trip. All in all we will be covering about 2800 KM! That is just about 1 / 5 of the way from New York to Sydney! The loose plan is to drive up to Monkey Mia (11 hours, yikes!) Friday morning; arrive that night; and stay there till Monday afternoon. Monkey Mia is basically a marine park that is the home to many friendly dolphins that I can feed and maybeeee swim with - if they are feeling especially playful. From there we will go to Kalbarri National Park (a mere 5 hours away) for a day or two to visit some beautiful gorges; and then stop by the Pinnacles Desert on our way down to Albany. Here's a fun fact: Kalbari is 974 KM away from Albany. Right next door! Once in Albany we will check out the Natural Bridge and the Gap (two pretty amazing rock structures) and then swing over to Denmark where the Valley of the Giants is located. Here we can see these huge trees and walk across a canopy top bridge. Sweaty hands and feet here I come … not the biggest fan of heights for those who don’t know, but never one to shy away from an adventure. Should be a fun trip that will be a nice distraction from school…
Fantastic photos. I can't see any signs of the scratch on the lens. The road trip sounds terrific. Wish I could join. I guess you will be out of touch for a bit. You'll have to make a massive post on your return.
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous photos, Jules! Can't believe there's a scratch on that lens. Marina and I are here in le Havre--so much prettier than we were led to believe. More later. Can't wait to hear about your trip.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievably beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Love, Grammy
ReplyDeletedistraction from school, what school?! LOL. Road trips are the best! You will have a great time. Bring lots of snacks. PB and J is an excellent travel companion. Also Music is a must.
