21 January 2015 ~ Penguin Island

You can either take the ferry ..............

or walk on the sandbar but unfortunately they wouldn't allow it....

Hobson's choice 
 
They insist..... Big Brother was watching

Looking out for what to expect when we get there.


Waiting for the ferry from Shoalwater Bay.

It's comin'!
 




Our cheeky skipper whose name I forget, did a few stomach-churning, toss-you-out-of-the-seat bumps during the ride which was really fun.






See the white splatter on the on the jetty? That ain't white paint!



Very contradicting philosophy compared to the hospital.





Aren't they cute?
 
Penguin feeding


Very interesting and sustaining concept. Visually appealing AND olfactorily pleasant, surprisingly!

 

Waiting for the glass-bottom boat for our cruise













Actually there's only 1 camel formation, I just took too many shots of it.


Windsurfing dude

This slimey critter, a foot long, was sitting next to us at the picnic table. Wouldn't go away.







Bryan found his natural habitat.




Mom loved the walk in the shallow waters.


Guess who's.


When we left the island, the tide was low and you can see the sandbar, but they still didn't allow us to walk across.

Family's First Eat Greek Experience............ and They Loved It!

Poh Poh and the grandkids
 
 
 
 
 
 
Guess why Bryan loves this place?
 
 




 
 
This is why! Ducks swim
nearer to us, maybe looking for food?
 


 On these picture, Bryan noticed
"slide marks". He thinks it's from a turtle or tortoise.... definitely something larger than a crab. Jacque here knows his sea creatures.



Spotted lots of fish.


He is so happy to be here. 
Front row seating, waiting in anticipation for the..............
 
show to get underway!

I'll see if I can post the video of us dancing along too.

How did this get in here? Derrick having a little cider to wash all the meats down and to cool himself down from the meat sweats. Did I mention that there was a LOT of meat dishes there?

Heading home soon..... Mom's verdict? "Very interesting experience. Now my pants are too tight..... getting fat."
