Hello everyone!
As expected, we reached Coral bay on Wednesday afternoon. Like Monkey mia, it is not really a city but more a holiday village. The beach is beautiful though, but not as much as Monkey mia’s. The two first days were just chillax days. We walked around the village and along the beach. There is a shark sanctuary not too far away but it’s was too early to see them as sharks are usually only around during summer.
The atmosphere within the group is quite good. We kept the same custom than when we were on the bus. Everyone give some money every day to buy the food that we cook together. The thing is that now we can eat until we are full. The breakfast is not just a slice of bread and an egg; the other day we even had a full english breakfast.
Some of us went for a quad tour on the beach on Friday but I stayed on the beach. I took this opportunity to try the water (pretty warm for a winter month). Later I ran into some of the people we stayed with on the “Magic bus”. They arrived on Friday afternoon. We spent some time with them on the beach to chat about the days we spent on our own.
On Saturday we had booked a snorkling tour to swim with the mantarays. Unfortunately we didn’t see them clearly. I just had the opportunity to see a shade and my mask kept being misty, which didn’t help.
On Monday we woke up at 5am to take a shuttle bus to the main road and catch the hop on hop off bus to Exmouth. We stayed in a holiday park Monday night and Tuesday night.
We had booked the whales shark tour on Tuesday. I highly recommend you to do it if you plan to go to Exmouth one of these days. This experience was impressive. I’m still amazed by what I saw in the water.
We had the privilege to swim by the side of the biggest shark, the whale shark. The biggest one we observed was probably about 6 meters. We saw some reef sharks as well; they were swimming just 4 meters beneath us! All in all, such a great day!
As I’m writing this post, we just left Exmouth with two rented cars. We will spend 4 days in Karijini national park. Two girls we had met in Coral bay joined us.
See you soon!
