The weather was not supposed to be great today so we organised with Sarah and Stacey to go to the Pet Porpoise Pools – a visitor attraction in the town with lots of marine life. The place was quite small but they put on a funny show with the dolphins and seals.
There were also talks on the rescue turtles and Great Barrier Reef fish. We all got a kiss from a seal and a dolphin and had our photo taken, which were really good so we bought them!
At one point in the dolphin show they asked for adult volunteers to feed the dolphins, so Gav being Gav stuck his hand up and got picked to go up on the stage and have a dolphin jump out the water and grab the food he was holding out! It was funny to watch!
It was quite a small company and so felt more personal than somewhere like Sea World. The staff were really nice. The company also help the community by having volunteers that are mentally challenged.
The afternoon was very miserable with monsoon style rain, so we sat in the hostel and played board games with Stacey and Sarah.
Our bus to Byron Bay was late afternoon and got us there in the evening. When we arrived we were both shattered and in need of some good sleep, so we upgraded our room to a private double – what a treat! Tuesday nights are very special in Australia - $5 for a large Dominoes pizza!! We took full advantage of the deal rather than cooking more pasta. We both thoroughly enjoyed it!
