The trip from Exmouth to Coral Bay is only 10 cattle grids. We might as well count our driving distance that way as Nossi only bears 3, max 4 until he is totally freaked out and tries to crawl behind Marjo’s chair where is only room for his nose really.
So we make a few stops and take the last 3 at the speed of a slug. That way we feel every bar of the cattle grid three times (that’s 8 hops for the front tires, 8 hops for the back and 8 for the trailer) but it doesn’t make the noise that seems to fray his nerves.
Before we know it we are in Coral Bay though. It seems like a very popular coastal town with lots of snorkeling, diving, buggy driving, flights, glass bottom boats and other activities. There are three campings of which only one has 12 spots for dogs. So lucky we booked this morning and get a spot between 11 other dog owners. The camping is not the objective though and we leave quickly and venture to the beach. What a beach.
This is not only paradise for us with fabulous warm water and nice snorkeling sights.
But also for the doggies nice floating and plenty of friends.
Ideal for playing with a ball.
Then before the sun sets we try to get a family picture which takes a bit of preparation.
First a tan:
Then some convincing and slow acceptance:
Followed by disinterest:
Then it finally takes a few tries:
But the end result is there:
Then it’s dinner time, first night fish and chips from the local shop, the second night noodles. All yummie.
As last activity we can mention in this blog Marjo went out to capture the setting sun. The first night a cloud band limited that somewhat with still a wonderful result.
The second night though wins without doubt.
This was a great stop and hit easily a 9 on the scale of awesomeness.
Tomorrow morning we will be leaving for Quobba Station which seems to be quite remote. Don’t expect any posts for a while 🙂
