Tuesday was our rest day so we had a leisurely morning and popped out to the shops in the afternoon.
Wednesday we booked a snorkeling trip at Byron to swim with the Turtles. Jen and Mike were given the voucher for Xmas and me and Amy decided to join. We had a very speedy 5 minute boat ride out to Julian rocks. It was pretty cold in the water compared to Fiji and SE Asia! Especially after an hour and a half! We saw 1 turtle as a group and I saw another biggun bellow as we went back to the boat, so we were a little disappointed with the lack of turtles as they made it sound like there would be loads around to swim with! It was cool though as we saw lots of beautiful leopard sharks and some rays, I spotted quite a big ugly eel and some puffer fish that were staring me down.
After snorkelling we met up with Amy's friend from home on the beach and then grabbed a bite to eat in the pub. I had a bit of a drama as is forgotten my ID and was threatened to have to leave the premises, I argued I'd just ordered food and was very hungry so they took pity and let me stay to eat, Matts friend Hannah had to go and get me a glass of water from the bar!
We left Amy in Byron with Matt for 2 nights, it was weird as We've not been apart for nearly 5 months! Yesterday me Jen and Mike went back to the water park and did some of the 3 person rides which were a lot of fun and the lazy river was a lot more pleasant with the sun out! Apart from some burnt soles from the Tarmac we had a fun day.
Today we waited for Amy to return and took the car out to find some breakfast, it was quite overcast today so the beach was out. The bacon and egg sarnie and a bit of bargain hunting at the shopping centre sufficed though. We made use of a free 5 day gym trial and finished off our day, we will find another gym trial for next week- travelling like pro's!!
